I prefer Light because it is just the right amount of bookkeeping, particularly the way starships work. I have a full set of the 1981 Traveller books and I refer to them from time-to-time but more to recapture the spirit of things then to use the actual mechanics or settings. I quite enjoy these products but... like West End Games D6... I've been playing them for a while and have a lot of "house rules" or at least interpretations about how I believe things should work.

A quick look through Thousand Suns reminds me it has a good GM section with a few pages of random adventure seed generator, with a subsector and meta-setting overview. Probably not as much toolkit as you'd prefer, more a spiritual porting of rules into a more modern Traveller-feeling game.Peter Schweighoferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572819535383879995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333965379660280891.post-24133499536977654682020-11-24T20:15:43.805-05:002020-11-24T20:15:43.805-05:00What are your thoughts on a Thousand Suns?

I’ve not found many play reports of it so it has been a bit hard to get a feel for how it plays at the table (and perhaps how GM friendly the book is.) I run a lot of sandbox space campaigns and I’m interested in more toolkits :-)Shawn Mederohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11958139368524306516noreply@blogger.com
