This is a big bundle of early third-party supplements for GDW's Traveller, mostly originally published by Gamelords:
( Gamelords Traveller Bundle )
This is, as I said, a blast from the past; most of this material is from early in the history of Traveller, when men were real men, small green alien things were real small green alien things, and production values were... a little on the primitive side. Most of them are big swathes of text and random encounter tables etc., scanned from dot matrix originals, and look it. The Cargonauts supplements are more legible, but were written a long time before 2000, so still come from the era when tables were king, and characterization and role playing more of an afterthought in game and scenario design. Having said that, there's a lot here that I haven't seen before, and some interesting ideas and exploration of environments that haven't seen much use in other Traveller material. It isn't incredibly expensive, and with the usual "I didn't actually have to pay for this" caveat I think it's worth a look.
