So e.g. you have think about how to run an investigative plot when people can call anyone at any time, but also maybe check the equivalent of Facebook and LinkedIn.Also - and maybe that's just me, but at least a handful of friends are also affected - my thresholds for suspension of disbelief are higher in fantasy settings. Once we start going into technological stuff, the engineer in me wants to know a lot of stuff about how this works. Occasionally poking a hobgoblin with a sharp stick, on the other hand, is something where I can also accept that it is a magically enchanted stick of supreme poking (+3 against hobgoblins).And as we all know, D&D as the largest RPG (by far) is a fantasy game, so the market is also heavily leaning towards fantasy stuff.That being said, there's a few nice 3rd party settings for Traveller out there. Unfortunately, not so many adventures (I think Mongoose Publishing has put out a number of things, but I haven't really checked out MgT 2e yet).</blockquote>
