Did someone say space?<br /><br />I was following the Wessex entries with my usual mix of genuine interest and morbid curiousity that I hold for most old school fantasy style gaming. An actual Jeff Rients Traveller campaign on the other hand intrigues me greatly. I look forward to reading more about this one to be sure.Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-67096247020356471302012-04-19T12:55:32.431-05:002012-04-19T12:55:32.431-05:00There's a SRD for Mongoose Traveller http://ww...There's a SRD for Mongoose Traveller http://www.travellersrd.com/content/official/mongoose_traveller_srd/mongoose_traveller_srd_index.htmlKirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15585204340254292108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-43059015324545664142012-04-19T10:27:17.200-05:002012-04-19T10:27:17.200-05:00Hiero's Journey by Sterling Lanier is famously...<i>Hiero's Journey</i> by Sterling Lanier is famously known to be one of the most direct influences on Gamma World.
