Does anyone play Rebellion era traveller anymore

Sure 'nuff... my last campaign (last year I think) started around 1115 and stopped (not 'ended' as such) around 1120+. The players were camping out around Daibei, running dangerous jobs for the locals. They even went out on a limb and visited the recently-depopulated Depot in Zarushagar, narrowly missing several dirty skirmishes between Dulnior and Lucan elements.

Well, for some reason it's almost as popular to slag the living daylight out of the Rebellion as it is to pour acid on TNE and Virus.
I'm fairy sure there are Rebellion era gaming going on, while the setting is downtalked elsewhere.
I've gotten all of the Rebellion era GDW material and I plan using it someday when my old gaming group gets together again. Probably this weekend, maybe next.

We only play during the Rebellion. It's had seveal different endings over the years.
This time we're based out of District 268, working for the leading sub-sector noble, and we're trying to make a pocket empire out of the sub-sector in response to the Rebellion. ("It's for our own protection. Its obvious that the Imperium can't protect itself, much less our people!")
The Cannon is what you make of it. Even Norris doesn't have complete control of the Spins. There are people sympathetic to each of the contenders. Lots of intrigue. Imps against Imps. Zhos, Vargr, and Aslan running wild. Warlords trying to make their own Pocket Empires in the middle of Imperial Space. Pirates preying on the weak. Woot!

My second last campaign, which ran for about 2 years, was set in 1116-1117. It was set at the far fringe of the Empire in the Glimmerdrift Reaches and the Solomani were extending their tendrils while the Empire was in chaos.
My current campaign is in 1114, heading for 1116, and I have yet to decide which flavour of Rebellion I want (GT's killed-in-the-cradle version, MT's version, or LEW's Wounded Colossus, or perhaps my own version....).

Eliot,
Don't let all the poor mouthing (mine included!) fool you, the Rebellion and Hard Times is an excellent campaign setting. Everyone's various gripes with MT and the Rebellion have more to do with metagaming concerns. To put it bluntly, my squawks about the Rebellion are because I now only play with Traveller instead of actually play Traveller.
If you campaign is going to be a long one; years in either RPG or real time, do yourself a favor and do what MT failed to to; choose an ending and decide how the Rebellion IYTU will play out. Even if your PCs aren't involved in any of the high level shenanigans that lead to that ending, the news and other tidbits they run across will leave them with a feeling that the Rebellion is running it's course. My group eventually 'rebelled' against MT's presentation of an eternal Rebellion and began casting around for something else, that's where the 'Wounded Colossus' materials eventually sprang from.
Have fun with your campaign and let us a know a bit about it.
Sincerely,
Larsen
