Can someone who has experience with both systems please
write a comparison between Star Frontiers (augmented by Zebulon's
Guide and Knight Hawks) and Traveller/MegaTraveller and its
constituent supplements? The reason I ask is I have been holding
off purchasing Traveller/MegaTraveller because of the rumoured
MegaTraveller: The New Era, and Star Frontiers, despite all the
bashing I hear bandied around about it, is great. The resolution
system that appears in Zebulon's guide is excellent, and I love the
skill system. But, not having experience with
Traveller/MegaTraveller, I don't know how well this system holds up
in comparison.
Should I hold off, as I have been doing, on the purchase of
MegaTraveller any longer? And I can get those black Traveller
books for a very cheap price, around five bucks a piece, are they
good investments as well? Not from a collector's point of view,
rather as source material/stuff that is not outdated by
MegaTraveller.
If someone wants to talk about Star Frontiers I'd be happy
to. I think I have everything ever published for it (and was
bummed when they decided not to publish Zebulon's Volume II which
would have covered bionics, power armor and robotics)
