Returning to Traveller

[Spence]

OK, it has been years since I played Traveller and I just ordered the current core book and bought the PDF of the same.

I was looking thumbing through and it looks like it only has one catch all TL. Wasn't there an update/supplement that broke out TL's into more usable categories?

What I mean by usable is the ability to have some areas of TL restricted while others ahead of the baseline.

I have been planning a scifi campaign and have been looking for a rules system to run it with. But I wanted to avoid the need to re-write from the ground floor.

I've seen TL breakdowns in the Darrians and Sword Worlds books, talking about their tech levels in various research areas. Darrians are TL 16 (IIRC) in Communications tech, but generally much lower than that everywhere else, for example. I'd look in either AM3 or the Sworld Worlds books to get an idea of what the categorical breakdowns are.

Law levels are also open to wide ranges of interpretations with regard to what technologies are banned/restricted.

Thanks,

I'll probably pick up the SW books first.
