[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 7564760, member: 42582"] I'm a big fan of Classic Traveller and have recently been playing it a fair bit (a report of today's session is [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?657198-Classic-Traveller-played-a-session-today]here[/url]). But I don't think it reasonably counts as rules light. Character creation can be reasonably quick and quite colourful, and the skill names generally give you a sense of what your PC can do. But the game has a [I]lot[/I] of subsystems (for intersteller travel; for using vacc-suits; for vehicular travel; for landing small craft in inclement weather; for combat, both melee and ranged; for ship combat; for making repairs to a ship during combat; etc, etc). In our play I'm finding that, as referee, I'm carrying the load of making sense of the rules while the players declare actions drawing on a combination of their sense of the fiction, their sense of the genre, and the descriptors on their PC sheets.
