[QUOTE="rgard, post: 8969710, member: 4157"] We played in the late 70s, early 80s with the LBB. It was a hoot. We rotated GM responsibilities. We all rolled characters until one of us rolled up an octegenarian (ok, that's an exageration) who mustered out with a scout ship. Lots of characters died during character creation. It was a hoot. There are lots of charts in that game. At one point we were selling F-16s to farmers on an airless planet. Eventually, though, you will probably run out of money and end up being space pirates to pay the bills. Coming from AD&D where there was level advancement, we found it annoying that characters couldn't get better at what they did. During the OGL/D20 boom. There was a D20 Traveller (T20) published by QuikLink Interactive (Martin Dougherty and Hunter Gordon) under license. The game still has the prior service character generatioin like the original, but you can still start as 1st level if you want and you can advance in levels. I liked the T20 adaptation of the original. You can find the T20 books on ebay and the like. If you aren't invested in the Traveller universe, but want to have the prior history and a D20 ruleset, QuikLink Interactive published a version of the rules that don't mention the Traveller universe: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/95100/SciFi20-Players-Guidebook[/URL] [/QUOTE]
