In this case, I don't mean the Traveller rule book(s); I'm referring to novels and series of SF that you've read and enjoyed. What novels or series have you read that you could see a Traveller campaign being run in? How would you have to tweak the rules to make the story universe work, and what "knock-on" effects do you see? Does the universe in question seem to be conducive to one kind of campaign over another? Why do you feel that the universe is suitable for Traveller? Inquiring minds (or at least one inquiring something-that-at-least- sorta-resembles-a-mind) want to know! Note: While discussion of the "old standbys" that are said to have influenced Traveller is certainly not to be discouraged, I think it would be more interesting to "look farther afield" and consider novels that were contemporary but not named as influences, or novels that post-date Traveller, even by decades. Digressions as to how you might render this or that alien or culture from a novel into Traveller terms might also be of interest... -- Jeff Zeitlin, Editor Freelance Traveller The Electronic Fan-Supported Traveller® Fanzine and Resource xxxxxx@freelancetraveller.com http://www.freelancetraveller.com http://freelancetraveller.downport.com/ ®Traveller is a registered trademark of Far Future Enterprises, 1977-2014.
