   Hello, being a player since the 90s, I tried several games. But lately for the first time I watched runequest. I would love to read your opinions on the game, its strengths and weaknesses. For my part the hit points on the hit location seduce me. Steph

I liked the 2300 setting even if it wasn't technically traveller. But it was originally called traveller 2300. I think it has some of the best aliens ever designed for a sfrpg. Traveller interstellar wars is a good setting but apparently dead as sjg lost the traveller license. Traveller TNE has a lot of potential and is largely under…
