Hi there,

Reading 'Exercise' in _Voyages SF_ no.13 (1990?) I found an advert for The MegaTraveller Players Survival Kit which I knew nothing about.

I found this:
https://rpggeek.com/rpgitem/81095/science-fiction-players-survival-kit
which suggests it might have actually existed (although note the title change from the advert).

Does anyone have any knowledge about whether this really existed or not? Or was just planned? It certainly looks like a real thing from the illustration at rpggeek, but I thought I'd check to see if anyone knew for sure. Or better yet has one.

I have no clue and possess nothing relevant.

But reading the rpggeek.com entry, it would seem to be a complete RPG
