My guess is that 2300 is deader than Star Trek RPG (ie: very). Haven't seen
hide nor hair of any new stuff in quite a while. It is to bad, because it
certainly had the possibility of becoming a very interesting background. IMHO
it needed more background modules & less adventure modules. A good history
would have done wonders for it.
Re: Traveller vs. MegaTraveller
I prefer Traveller. MegaTraveller unnecessarly complicates the game. Having
scaling complexity in rules is great, you never know how detailed you might want
a particular action to become (BTRC Timelords is pretty good here) ...however,
the min complexity level in Megatraveller is to high. It takes concentration
away from _role_ playing & puts it on _rules_ playing. Let the flames begin.
