I think with Traveller, it's just the effect of the totally fractured base.
The "franchise" has been so poorly managed over such a long period, that
everyone plays IMTU and I don't think there's much love for any flavour.

It just comes down to whatever your local group happens to play, but there are
so many versions that it's hard now to see what makes a game "Traveller" as
opposed to "My Random Space RPG". It could be the "Third Imperium" background,
but there are at least, what, four different versions of that?

Best regards, Robert Bryett.

Two as far as I'm aware, Gurps and the official timeline.

5 or 6 different rules sets though.
