[QUOTE="RPGRealms, post: 337904, member: 1640"] Rules-wise not really, One is d20 based the other is GURPS. Not currently, though we are not opposed to the idea. But it would have to be ok'd by SJG. Yes and no. Both are built on the original Traveller history, but GURPS Traveller follows an alternate timeline in which Emperor Strephon was not assasinated. The T20 line is set fully in the Official Traveller Universe where Strephon did die and the subsequent events of MegaTraveller and The New Era did occur. So until the point of historical divergence, the two histories and story lines are identical. It should also be noted that the primary T20 setting will be around the 1000th year of the Third Imperium, before the timeline split, so in that regard the T20 setting material can easily be used in a GT campaign. There will also be an new New Era supplement published for T20 that will do a bit of rework on the previous TNE material and then once again begin moving the official timeline forward again. Nope, as a matter of fact they just renewed it through 2005 I believe. The have also announced that they will be doing new material for GT that will be set during the period of the Interstellar Wars when the Terrans first encountered the Vilani and the First Imperium! Should be some really good stuff considering the previous releases for GT! There has been a lull in output on the GT line, but I think you'll see some new stuff winging its way to stores soon. Loren Wiseman has been promoted to senior line editor to hopefully give him some extra time to write for the line, and Jon Zeigler has been named as the main line editor for GT now. [/QUOTE]
