There are three major dislikes, and all of them came from MegaTraveller and The New Era. The Empress Wave, the Assassination of Strephon, and the Virus. All of these are catastrophic changes in the setting, they rob the players of agency, and remove huge chunks of continuity.
@rosswinn @bignose I remember some Traveller grognards being exited for GURPS Traveller because: "No Rebellion!".
The rebellion and all subsequent events were universally hated by Traveller fans I met in the '90s.
Thank you. What rebellion are you referring to? Is that connected with the Assassination of Strephon?
@bignose Yes.
There was a whole sourcebook about it: https://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Rebellion/_Sourcebook
