I’m pretty sure it’s slashed to $0 every now and then. If you don’t own it yet, you might as well add this museum piece to your collection.

Does anyone know the story about this edition? It does seem like it was intended to be faxed. 😅

Wait… did you even get to use fax machines? Geez, I’m old.

Anyway, while I didn’t play Traveller back in the day, this edition holds a special place in my heart. I had watched Seth Skorkowsky’s videos (I think he had completed the full series, not too long ago if you’re keeping score) and thought: this is the game I want to play. But I was absolutely broke. I got started with Cepheus Engine SRD, because I didn’t even know if my players would like it and didn’t want to spend money that I didn’t even have. I think I got this facsimile edition for $1, and I was ecstatic.

Granted, I had everything truly necessary out of the Cepheus Engine SRD, but I felt like I was chipping in somehow.

Thanks Marc!
