Other awesome resources for Traveller? Meaning RPG wise...

[Treebore]

Like I know Bill Coffin's Septimus is up for free along with the rest of the D6 non licensed system, I also have the FATE based Starblazers, Twilight Imperium, Diaspora, CORTEX, Eclipse Phase, and probably others I am forgetting. So what other RPG sources do you like having and using for your Sci Fi inspiration. I do mean outside of anything with the word Traveller on it, since I have bought the GURPS stuff, the TNE stuff, etc...

Oooh! I was forgetting the awesome Star Frontiers! Also available for free!

Apart from several ones you mentioned already I mostly use several of
the non-Traveller GURPS supplements (e.g. Alpha Centauri, Terradyne,
Transhuman Space, Uplift, etc.) and the roleplaying games Ringworld, Ex-
pendables, Thousand Suns, Blue Planet and the two German roleplaying
games Lodland and Perry Rhodan.

2300AD has a lot to offer if you're looking for a harder science approach.

GDW, but not Traveller.

I would like a link to this but don't know if I can get one.

 

[Lord High Munchkin]

'Eclipse Phase' (core rules also available for free).

 

[G. K. Zhukov]

'Eclipse Phase' (core rules also available for free).

This one together with the earlier Transhuman Space and GURPS Terradyne are definitely on my list.

Warning: they are interplanetary, in-system RPGs as opposed to interstellar. But they are awesome.

Free, legal, and some awesome stuff for Traveller, depending on what you want for your game.

Eclipse Phase is available for free, and legally due to it being part of the "Creative Commons License", so you can DL the PDF legally and free, or I can even e-mail it to you if our accounts were that big, here is a working media fire site:

Now if you decide that EP is cool enough to support the company you can pay money for the PDF here for $15.00 (US):

Or best of all buy the print at Amazon or where ever your favorite place to buy print is at.

Two things I have noticed about EP, one it appears to be overwhelming because the "game" is not simply defined in terms of what to do with it, so people have felt it tries to do too much for them. My advice is, the game is like real life, there is a zillion things going on, just pick your "fight" and go from there.

The other thing is I am finding I am having to do a lot of page flipping to put a lot of related rules together. The good news is they often give the page number you need to flip to.

EP is primarily in system, but they do have interstellar ability and have met at least one alien race. Considering the Titans (a idea crossed between Terminator and Matrix) they really don't need any problems beyond the multitudes they already have.
