Having fully bought into the 1st Edition ofConclusion: The 2008 Traveller Core Rulebook has been considered for the last eight years one of the best Traveller editions that have ever seen print. Tons of material support it, material that is already out and can be readily perused. If you want to own this soon to become out of print book to adorn your library, now is the chance to still. The Traveller Core Rulebook contains everything you need to create one of these adventurers and begin exploring the galaxy. Spaceports, ancient civilizations, air/rafts, cold stell blades, laser carbines, far distant worlds, and exotic alien beasts - this is the futuristic universe of Traveller, the original and classic science fiction. The download will get you three sets of files; the core rules, a set of space charts and then the book of adventures that created the setting. There are other versions of Traveller still out there. There’s MegaTraveller which dates back to 1987, Steve Jackson Games published GURPS Traveller in 1998 and Mongoose Publishing did their first. Mongoose Publishing: free download.

Mongoose Traveller, never got a chance to play it, and seeing a new second edition out...This is going to be a tough one. I hate buying games to collect and eventually box.
I hear they updated the technology level to a more modern level. I like the 1970's level of technology as a throwback gamer, but I know times change and that retro-view is being left behind. I also hear starship design rules are not included in the main rulebook. I am feeling a PDF is a better purchase here initially. If I buy in.
People, from the reviews, seem to like this edition a lot. I also like supporting Mongoose's efforts, since I like the setting and love hard sci-fi. They went to a difference licensing model (TAS instead of Open Game), so there is that to consider. Again, this is a tough one. I feel more in tune with Labyrinth Lord and the connected universes around the Goblinoid-verse these days than to take a hard sci-fi detour in my interests so maybe I will wait.
