Good spot Sir.
I've downloaded the pack. :)
Dunno how many versions of Traveller I have - starting with the original little black books.
Never played it, but would love to
I've created profiles for the Pendraken SF ranges in Traveller: Mercenary.

Nanny state ??
Downloaded. Had a few of the books back in school (mid 80s), but never got aroudn to actually playing. Created loads of characters,and designed ships and robots though :D
I have very fond memories of a Traveller campaign run at the South East Scotland Wargames Club many, many moons ago.
We were the crew of a vehicle traversing America from East Coast to West bringing some medical macguffin to prevent a medical apocalypse. If I remember correctly the campaign fizzled out before the macguffin was delivered.
The vehicle was large enough for a crew of half a dozen and had a turret on top of which I was designated gunner.
I always imagined the thing to be a larger and better armoured version of this ....

I too remember Traveller from back in the day, the little black book, in school in the mid 80s.
I'm not sure we ever actually played a game. But we loved the concept and spent time designing ships and other things.
I've no idea what happened to my little black books - which is odd as I despite stepping away from gaming for a good while - I do have most of my other stuff from that era. Hopefully whoever I leant / gave them to made good use of them!
