#6089 Traveller:The New Era opinions

Mike Basinger · 29 September 1993

Being fairly new to the mailing list I was wondering what people here
think of the New Era. Was the change to the game welcome, or do people
still wish for the old days of "Classic" Traveller.

Also, I posted this last week to the mailing list, but I think it got
losted. What Sci-Fi novels would people say are simular to the Traveller
Universe (any era). I have been told;

Tubbs: Dumarest of Terra Series
Niven: Man-Kzin War Series
Asimov: First 2 of the Foundation Series

Any other suggestion would be appreciated

Thanks,
Mike

  Yeah, I hate it when I loose things.

  E.E. Doc Smith's books seem to be a primary inspiration..Sword
  Worlds came from this source I believe.

BTW, for those of you who are trying to integrate the Virus (which I
think is rather well thought out, despite the negative mumblings I've
heard a lot of) into your campaigns, read the book "ME" by Thomas T.
Thomas.  No, everyone should read this book.  It's really cool,
showing what the world might look like to a computer program.
