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.

I know that the basic Classic Traveller had the level of complexity that was about right for my tastes.
LION & DRAGON: Medieval-Authentic OSR Roleplaying is available now! You only THINK you\'ve played \'medieval fantasy\' until you play L&D.

My preferences, based off the versions that I have actually played and/or ran, in descending order:

Mongoose Traveller
Classic Traveller
The New Era
4th Edition
t20
Megatraveller

I have and have read all of the other versions, including Hero, and I'd say my level of interest in them would rank (falling below Megatraveller above) as follows:

GURPS Traveller
5th Edition
Traveller Hero

(the 5th Edition and Hero version are pretty much neck and neck, for my lack of interest, both of them put me into a coma trying to read them :D)
