 Role Playing Games (RPG) [encyclopedia]
In pen and paper RPGs, participants play the parts of characters in an imaginary world that usually is organized, adjudicated, and sometimes created by the gamemaster, usually with the support of rules, simple or complex.
RPGs were originally played on a tabletop, because they involved paper, dice, and, often, miniatures or tokens of some kind.
Some RPG rules systems are complex and attempt to be realistic simulations; other rules systems place a priority on game balance or on personality, character development, and storytelling.

 Freelance Traveller - Critics' Corner - GURPS Traveller (1st Edition)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
"Classic" Traveller was a hit with the fans; a chance to adventure in SF worlds with simple and flexible rules, the interesting and evolving background of "The Imperium", and for those who enjoy solitaire play chance to tinker with starship construction and amateur astro-cartography.
Traveller was the major SF RPG for many years, and over 40 official products (supplements, rule-books and adventures) eventually became released, along with many pages of writing from professional and amateur RPG magazines.
GURPS Traveller is aimed squarely as a sourcebook for running SF adventures in the old Classic Traveller universe; as a game by itself, it is lacking (more on this gripe later), and to play this game in full you need to outlay a good deal of money up front.

I have never played Traveller even though I have a copy of T4 but if the Author/Editors where all hard core Players then they would not have time to write a book.

As a long time fan of Travellers, I liked the plot although the editing mistakes at times are a bit distracting.
