I think GURPS was a later, more generic (and ambitious) release from the
same gaming company (GDW, if I remember aright) and they subsumed the
original Traveller into it.    What with GURPS, the D20 system, etc., it
all gets kinda confusing nowadays.  :)

An RPG with my name in it was recently published -- I'm listed as a
proofreader and playtester, although my edits didn't quite make it into
the final book and I never had a chance to playtest it.  :(    It's
called WRAETHTHU -- From Enchantment to Fulfilment and it will probably
be scarce in the States...not quite so scarce in the UK, where
Waterstones has picked it up for distribution.  It has good artwork and
background details, at least.....   :)
