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