fredrix : Get all the traveller Dredd and the Strontium Dog stuff. With traveller Dredd definitely get the Players Handbooks I and I as they have stats on additional justice depts (like the exorcist division ). If you want some good fantasy fluff get any of the Slaines - one version is rune-quest the other is D20 but the fluff fantastically detailed: I used it creep out the players in my TOEE game . . . Jaroo Ashstaff might have been a kindly village Druid til he got his Wickerman Burning Time head on (you know, demanding the authorities hand over a transgressor for Druidic Judgement and all the Old Faith Villagers of Hommlet joyfully sending the sacrifice to the Wickerman). The Strontium Dog stuff is the best deal as you get complete game in 2 books - with a workable magic system for traveller as well. Which is why I keep hitting my nuts everytime someone say 'buh traveller dun do magic da no rules fur id' and here's a chance to get those rules at a bargain price. Seriously, using the magic system for traveller from SD your really do have a generic game system with travelller because you can do high fantasy not just gritty low tech. NB: the magic system can be, like combat and psionics, brutal. Aaron

Not knowing what this stuff is one way or the other... none of it says "Strontium Dog" on it... how do you differentiate what belongs to that? What is this complete game in 2 books called on that page?

Uhhh... yeah be careful.
Seems Mongoose published some 2000AD OGL stuff before they did Traveller - I got confused too.
Pay attention to the system tags, there are TWO Dredd core books there but one of them is d20 3.5!
