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.

Quote from: ChristopherKubasik;944067Speaking of Don's work and Classic Traveller here is the last version of Consolidated Errata for Classic Traveller Don put together before he passed. I never knew the man, but I was grateful for the work he did.

As for the errata it is relatively slight and can be scribbled into any text version one has.

Also of note: Frank Filz has done an amazing thing and created a side-by-side comparison of the text of the 1977 version of Traveller Books 1-3, the 1981 version of Traveller Books 1-3, and the The Traveller Book (1982).

This might be too far into the weeds for some people! But it's been useful for me. There are lots of changes from the 1977 version -- some large, some small, and some have rather far reaching implication about how to play the game that I think a lot of people blow past without really thinking them through.

And please note, I didn't catch everything... Every couple months, someone pops up with some difference I hadn't noted. If you see things I missed, please request access to comment and I'll grant you that access.

Quote from: estar;943423Don't forget about the two third party CDs for classic Traveller ;-) The Gamelords and FASA CD is the better of the two.

Three... Though much of the material on the third one is older versions of the Gamelords material.

I actually like Apocryphia-2 the best, the Judges Guild stuff is just more wacky and feels more like the ur Traveller of Books 1-3 than the more "Imperium" feel of the FASA and Gamelords stuff. Even the Paranoia Press stuff is more wacky.

I wish they would do the Group One supplements...

This seems to be out of print. Was that an Ollie Hardy autobiography? :D

No, it was an obscure Lexx reference.

Yet I didn't catch my own autobiography by a third party gaffe! I should've just written "biography."
