So, how canon is GURPS Traveller, anyway?

[Gamerguy]

Canon is Classic Traveller publushed by GDW, Mega Traveller published by GDW, TNE and Mongoose Traveller.

Gurps Traveller is not Canon, but is an Alternate Traveller Universe where Canon Traveller didn't happen.

Well, about 99 % of "Canon Traveller" - the entire history of the Third Im-
perium up to Strephon's death - did of course happen in GURPS Traveller,
too.

And unless Mongoose Traveller repeats the timeline of MegaTraveller and
Traveller New Era, which would really surprise me, it is an Alternate Tra-
veller Universe, too.

I just want to take a moment and thank Somebody for introducing me to the term: "Panzerschwein" . That's great, and perfectly descriptive of oh-so-many gamer produced designs in many many games. "Armored pig", just wonderful !

German (even faux-german) is such a good language for snarky comments.
