I'm not familiar with Bundle of Holding promotions, but currently there's a lot of MegaTraveller books on offer:

Rather piqued my interest as I was thinking of running a Space Opera style campaign at some point, probably not Imperium based though. I'd be obliged for any views you all might have on MT as a game system e.g. user friendliness, comparison to the GDW house system, any truth in the rumours that you need a massive errata sheet to make sense of it.

Well, I don't have my copy to hand but as I remember it the game mechanics are more similar to the 2300AD rules. Not sure which of them came first.

There was a very extensive errata sheet for the original printing but I think they caught them all eventually. Should be OK by now.

Thanks Lee, I'm still tempted but at the same time I don't really want anything more complex than MiniSix. I suspect original 2300AD was a nightmare to run with its weapon damages being expressed in fractions.

Megatraveller, 2300AD, Twilight 2000 V2.2 were to be streamlined, DC and Cadillacs and Dinosaurs as well would use one House System.

I know they have their keen supporters on the forum, but I don't find GDW's game systems very user friendly, streamlined or otherwise. They're by no means the only offenders e.g. I don't reckon much to Cyberpunk 2020 either. Products of their time perhaps.
