Surely most of you have already heard about this, but in case some of you haven't:
There's a crodfunding campaign (will launch on March 31st) to create a 5E compatible (as in, D&D 5E rules) version of Traveller:

Personally I think one of the greatest strengths of Traveller is the system. And even though I'd love to have some coins or dice, it's unlikely I'll take part.
Still, I wish the campaign is successfull and it brings more people into the genre.

Oooh... I love Traveller but I think the D20 system is quite... bad.
Stubbornly, it's also frustrating that it sometimes feels like people refuse to learn systems that aren't Dungeons and Dragons and this seems like conceding to that point just to play a sci-fi game.

Yeah. I noticed after the fact. Oh, well.

The Traveller landscape is fractured enough as is. I can't envision a better future for it with this addition.

Although I think there are some huge landmines in the road to this product, I also think it could bring a lot of people into the Traveller universe, and that could be very positive. Actually I believe that's the main reason they're doing it.
