You can get them at drivethrurpg, as well, in electronic format. As well as other pieces of MT (like COACC).

But, I got mine for about $20 through eBay (a hair cheaper, with shipping, than drivethrurpg), and it is in pretty good shape. (Starting to get minor tear out on the frontis page in the Player Manual.)

And if you check the front page* you'll find that today Hunter has posted the upcoming FREE Traveller offerings from DTRPG and the MT Referee's Manual is on the list again. So if you can wait a bit you can get that one free and see what you think of it.

It's for people who have never had it that I wish the long promised CD would be finished already. But then maybe you would prefer the actual book.

As for eratta sources I'm drawing a blank but maybe someone will find it. Not that it was ever complete by a far stretch ;) Have you checked the fLibrary here?

* people really should more often
there's actually news worthy news there, just wish it were more regular ;)

Wow. And to think I was cleaning up and (BAM) what did I find, but an old box set of MT that I completely forgot I still owned. The box was starting to rot away. It looked like the bottom corner was starting to get moldy. However, the books, charts, and errata(dated Sept. 1 1990) were still in pristine shape.

I remembered buying it way back at the beginning of 1991. A year later, I stopped role-playing for a couple of years. It must've got packed away, because when I bought TNE, I knew I had had MT at one time. I thought it got pitched.

Thank the Lord. :cool:

MT stuff frequently appears on Titan Games' used stuff section, generally reasonably priced. And of course there's also http://travellertrader.com/.

...which appears to have Azhanti High Lightning, but no MT at the moment...

Titan Games currently has copies of the Player's Manual, Referee's Companion, and the Imperial Encyclopedia, each for around $10.

MT has one thing NO OTHER traveller edition has:

Direct and seamless integration capability for individuals, units, and craft. (Note that craft refers to all vehicles covered.)

WHile it does have a HG derivative combat system, it can also use vehicle combat rules versus ships. This is actually quite a good way to run ship combats.

It is important to note that the DP calculations are off... multiply the results by 10.

MT has one other major bit: it's possible to create a 3J4 ship...

I'd suggest getting the PM first. Ref's companion Second. Ref's manual and IE simultaneously and third. Hard Times is 4th, mostly for the low tech starhips stuff.

After that, COACC is okay. Find the old GDW articles Wet Navy 1-3, and Wood, Wind, Fire and Steam, to be a grognard of MT constructions...
