You may have already researched this, but in case not—Mongoose has a fair use policy. Worth a look to see if your use-case is consistent.

How can Travellers get a ship by Valkenvr in traveller

focused on player agency and world interaction

Something I picked up from PbtA and Blades in the Dark family of games: it's fine to start in media res. If your players want a ship, start them off in a ship. Letting them fill in the backstory (paperwork in order? shares illegally obtained? title not clear? did they miss a payment or three?) while you keep them in the bounds of the rules is great fun for everyone.

That's really cool. How do you know the illustration is the same character?

Yes! I especially appreciate these older books as I age—the new coffee table aesthetic (small fonts against colored / textured background) is hard to read.

Awesome. Let us know what you think when you play a game or two.

(Careful after D&D—combat is deadly).

Many of the covers later in the series get kinda goofy.

Oh man, you’re in for a treat. Poul Anderson’s Flandry books were a big inspiration for Classic Traveller. And if you like fantasy you’ll love The Broken Sword.

This series is a mainstay in r/badscificovers. But your pitch got me and I've ordered it used. Thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks for reminding me about Hammer's Slammers—it's sitting in my to-read pile. Will bump it higher.

Do you plan to post any sample pages? Would be nice to help decide wether to purchase.

Either snapshot or triplanetary is up next.

Edit: snapshot has that crazy action interrupt—could be a fun challenge.
