I have run Mongoose Traveller, the first one; years later I ran Classic
Traveller and it felt similar but also a bit weirder because the civil
careers aren’t there. But that betting element during character creation is
there, of course. I don’t know if many people play that way, however.
People click on generators until they get a character they like, I fear.

I started thinking about a short Traveller replacement based on
conversations with Frotz. I never had any concrete plans and so it never
went anywhere.
