Talk:GURPS Traveller

Duplicating content

Does this page really need to duplicate all the content from the Traveller section of the List of GURPS books ?? - this comment was written by Brehaut

Yes I believe it does. Since this article is about GURPS Traveller I felt it made sense to list all of the GURPS Traveller products. That these books are also listed in another article written by someone else doesn't change the fact that it makes sense to list them here. Seanr451 18:52, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

I think extensive lists such as this one should not really be in an article if it can be avoided. I think it would be better to give a direct wikilink to the other article's section in question. Maybe something like this:

For a complete list of Traveller related books, see List of GURPS books

Hmmm... you've convinced me. I plan to update the article shortly with more information about GT: IW, I'll also change the product list to the link then. Thanks. Seanr451 21:08, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Update: 15 years later - my intention is to move the expanded information about the books in the line to this article, so that eventually List of GURPS books can be a more streamlined list - at least for GURPS Traveller, but I hope eventually for other GURPS books where more detail is offered outside the List article.

Dying in creation

in the original game it was in principle possible for a character to die during creation, through risks taken during his previous career

Could someone provide a deeper explanation of this? It sounds odd and I don't understand how this happens. Any essays give an example of such a roll-up? 184.145.18.50 (talk) 20:13, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
