Re: [Traveller_TNE] Re: 1248

I think what Traveller actually needs is "splat books". i.e. books

that are actually honest-to-god primarily of use to players (though

the GM can get useful stuff out of them too). Ironically, even though

GT doesn't have "classes", the GT career books were along the right

lines - Star Mercs (aimed at Merc characters), Ground Forces (aimed at

military characters), First In (aimed at Scout characters), Far Trader

(aimed at merchant characters) etc. Though those specific examples

seemed a bit too aimed at GMs... maybe the oft-overlooked GT Bounty

Hunters book might be a better example of one aimed at players. Alien

race books written with the player in mind are another example. Either

way, I mean "books that are specifically aimed at players, so that

players (who make up the majority at the gaming table) will go out and

buy them and find them useful".
