SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Classic Traveller. It's the simplest, and leaves the most to the referee and players. The others all require reading more rules and/or background.

So quick question for the Traveller people...I have Mongoose 1st and 2nd, old school black box Traveller, the Traveller Book, Megatraveller, 4th, 5th, Cepheus Engine. Which of those would be the best to play, especially with someone unfamiliar with the system? I'll already state I hate 5th...

MGT1e is a slick modern game with a task system and a scifi looking equipment list and so on.

Classic Trav is a different beast, based on rulings not rules. Check out this guy's blog, especially the interview with Marc Miller:

I would say (carefully) use the 1e splatbooks for character generation if you have them, and use either 1e or cepheus for the rules. The various splats have some goofy crap in them so that's why I say be careful. Merchant Prince and Agent are probably the best, in my experience.
