Well, this little set has “seen some action”, as they say, but a very welcome addition to my #OSR #RPG collection: 2nd edition of Marc Miller’s terrific sci-fi game #Traveller!
I loved playing this as a teenager in the 80’s, but wished I’d played more. Looking forward to diving back in.

Most people have an Internal Monologue. The Mog, however, has always had an Internal Theme Tune: Raiders of the Lost Arc. It’s pretty sick, and responsible for my unshakable self esteem.
As sick as that is, I always secretly wished it was the theme to Battle of the Planets. [sigh]
