IMHO, Traveller needs a Cladistics Diagram rather than a List. As T5 is
just an extension of T4 which is an odd hybrid of MT and GDW's House system
but not quite the descendant of TNE. While the 2 editions that were CT (up
to four depending how you count Starter Traveller), which spawned MT and
MgT. Then there is the hybrids GT, Traveller Hero and T20, all three have
serious out of Clade Grafts in the form of rules systems. So you see it can
get confusing real quick.
But in the terms of counting CT counts as two, then MT as 3, then T4 and
T5. which are the editions that Marc worked on thus self referentially to
Marc it works....
