Seconded, emphatically.

I've never seen the HERO system rules, but from talking to Kevin, I get
the impression that the Traveller setting is being eagerly looked
forward to by the StarHERO fanbase.  Anything that increases the amount
of Travellery goodness in the world is going to get my vote - even with
my misgivings about DeeTwunny, I still felt that TeeTwunny was better
than no tea at all.

And would you get out of my head, please?  When Kevin mentioned it to me
in IRC, my first thought was 'Rikki Tikki Travvy'.  And my second was
the cutline: "Running and Finding Out in the Far Future".
