The system is realativly simple* but it covers all the things it needs to. It's popular because it's well done, it works and it's been around for a long time. It was one of the very first RPGs after OD&D and was an old favorite before Star Frontiers ever arrived.*Classic Traveller is three little books that are all the rules you really need. A few others really help, but you don't need them. Lord knows there are much more complicated sci-fi games out there. I doubt if Star Frontiers is simpler actually. You character can pretty much be summed up by a single string of characters (of course, they are in hex) as can ships and worlds. Everything is a 2d6 roll and charts are minimal as they are usually based on 1 or 2 d6.</blockquote>
