Pardon my ignorance, but I must ask . . .

Official Traveller Universe -- the setting, history, and physical laws as described in officially published Traveller source material; aka the Canon setting. Differentiated from MTU (My Traveller Universe) and YTU (Your Traveller Universe).

AH! Thank you very much for clarifying that. I've been reading threads and seeing OTU and have been completely bumfuzzled by the anagram.

Advanced users may try to throw you a curve with one of these variants, MNAAOTU and MTHTU, My Not At All Oficial Traveller Universe and My Totaly Heretical Traveller Universe respectively.

Also note the use of GTU for Gurps Traveller Universe.

I am increasingly of the opinion that RPGs are by the nature of their creation subjective phenomenon. due to the interaction between game designers, game masters, and game players all definitions, rules, settings, and adventures are mutable in acordance with the uncertainty principle as expounded by Heisenburg. This is of course merely my point of view.
