This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I cancelled my pre-order of Traveller: Prime Directive and bought the Mongoose Traveller 2nd Edition book instead. Amarillo Design Bureau hired no one to complete T:PD while Mongoose Traveller 1st Edition was in print. Then cancelled the idea when MgT 2nd Edition was announced, for fear of ending up with too many T:PD 1st edition books that they couldn't unload. They remember what happened when GURPS moved from 3e to 4e, and they had G:PD 3e books in a warehouse collecting dust. ADB doesn't have an RPG department. They focus on their boardgames.

I was supposed to have done Prime Directive: D6.  I turned in the first five chapters to Jean Sexton for SVC to review.  Jean gave them to Steve, and... that was over half a decade ago.

That's a shame. While I can understand not wanting to be stuck with 1st edition books, it would make sense to just modify for 2nd edition.

Pity. I liked Prime Directive, but neither GURPS nor d20. I also prefer the Starfleet Universe to the Star Trek Prime timeline universe. d6 System, I think would have been fun.

I don't see SVC as an RPG person...
