An Amusement

Last night, a friend shared with me his "rebuttal" to my recent assertion that Traveller was "obviously" the best science fiction roleplaying game. 

I should add that, despite my devotion to Traveller — and, of course, Thousand Suns — I actually have genuine affection for Universe  and would happily play in a game using its rules. It's an odd game, to be sure, but, much like its sibling, DragonQuest , it's got some interesting ideas buried within its complex rules, hence my continued fascination with it after all these years.
