Subject: [OT]? GURPS Traveller
Anyelse seen the new Gurps traveller worldbook? Its published by Steve Jackson Games. This is a translation of the original traveller setting to the gurps game system, with Mark Miller's permission! In this version, it is an alternate history: In the original: Emperor Strephon was assassinated in the year 1116. In this version, He lives, and the old third imperium lives on. One interesting thing about it, is the space combat system. It is an updated version of the Triplanetary game rules. (It is a vector based hexagonal movement system) Steve Jackson got permission from Mark Miller to publish a new version of Triplanetary (yes, he designed it too!) and desided to include a version of it in the GURPS vehicals (second edition) rules. This is a version set up for multi-G force ships.
