Emperor Mongoose
It's not so much the differences between cultures, at the same TL, I am talking about how cultures and societies change as TLs advance. Traveller long ago settled into "yanks in space" and hasn't really moved from that, despite the Third Imperium being very different to a liberal democracy.I agree, but this is where the big opportunity for campaign design comes in. We don't need to depend upon Mongoose or any other authority. Big opportunity for 3PPs. Clement Sector dips a toe in by saying that most worlds are completely distinct from one another and have very different cultures. I take this approach but then say that the mass of sophonts who regularly use interstellar travel are a culture distinct from any world, who understand the culture of travellers but leave a wide birth for other cultural differences. This takes a lot of work, and there is space for some 3PP to provide their view.
American culture dominating Travellers regardless of TL or government type in the 57th century.
