Marc Miller has introduced a Traveller 5 Kickstarter project.
This is exciting news, for those of us who fondly remember classic Traveller, and Marc has promised to update and modernize this fantastic old-school game.
I got to see a manuscript for the legendary 5th ed some time ago, and frankly I would not add a cent to this project. That was a rules set that looked like it was from 1981. Rules and tables and procedures and rules and...

Maybe that's what Traveller fans want?
What I saw was very far from the "rulings, not rules" feel so often exalted in the OSR crowd.
There goes my next paycheck! Oh, lordy!
