It's also possible your guy is fifty years old when you're done with character creation too. We played a ton of Traveller when I was a kid and I still have all the specs on my main character and his ship. You have the small book rules? Maybe 5x8 black books with a stripe across the cover? I don't see huge prices for the main ones (books 0 through 4 I believe) but some of the supplements can pull some bucks and, frankly, I may buy a couple of them off of you.
I think theres only a couple of traveler books, and one of them is largish, will check them all over soonish.
I've played Pelo war, its a good game, but its a solo war game designed to teach you history. It does that very well, but once you've done it once it doesn't really demand replays. I look forward to playing Divine Right.
