#RPGaDay Traveller Rules...

Traveller.

Ok, so I use the Mongoose rules these days (which are a retooled update of the original little black book classic Traveller and the later MegaTraveller) but the setting material and plot can still be used with minimal effort.

I love the blend of Andre Norton, EC Dumarest, Azimov's Foundation, Sir Arthur C Clarke and more, combined with a hint of Star Wars, with which is shared a release year.

In a lot of ways, Traveller became an archetype for other systems with careers and past experience and no-levels a la D&D. Surprisingly modern and still effective.
