Yes, I did.  Yeah, it's $75 bucks, but that's about $10 bucks more than many new RPGs these days. And, this thing is a tome. I hear it's 600 pages!I'm stoked and hoping to get it soon.Classic Traveller remains my favorite version of Traveller, but T5 interests me because this is Marc Miller's first real return to Traveller since the original game. DGP designed MegaTraveller, and Marc left GDW during Traveller: The New Era. Despite it's title, Marc had little to do with the design and creation of Marc Miller's Traveller and even less to do with Traveller 20, GURPS Traveller, BASIC Traveller, or Mongoose Traveller. His role was more supervisory and approval related on those games.T5 has been in development for, what, a decade? And, many of the hardiest Traveller fans had input on Marc's designs.I'm not a huge fan of the T4 task system (which T5 uses--a variation of it), either, but it's not quite a deal breaker for me. Though I wish Marc had gone with a more Classic Traveller model on the task system (less structured, more DM-inspired), I do like the T4 system better than I like the one used in TNE, GURPS, BASIC, and T20. At lead the T4 system is d6 based.We'll see. I plunked down the bucks, and I'm eagerly awaiting the book.</blockquote>
