Doorstopper isn't a YMMV trope. Moving.

* {{Doorstopper}}: One of the latest iterations of the Traveller rules, Traveller 5, clocks in at ''over 750 pages'', quite a few of them random roll charts.

* ArchivePanic: Between at least seven editions, official setting books and adventures, the ''Journal of the Travellers' Aid Society''/''Challenge'' Magazine, and many, many licensed third-party supplements, it's estimated that there are over ''two thousand'' officially published releases for Traveller. And this doesn't include fanzines and other unlicensed content.

** ''Traveller 5'': Some fans say that the massive core book is incoherent and really needed to be edited down to something more workable before release. A re-release of the .pdf with some of the rules sections shuffled around (called "version 5.09") just gave them more ammunition. Amusingly, the table of contents of the 5.09 edition was not updated, and the page numbers are now completely inaccurate.
*** Marc Miller must have been listening to the criticism, because ''Traveller 5'' is being re-packaged as a three-volume set.

** In ''Mongoose Traveller'' (either version), levels in Jack of All Trades incrementally remove the penalty for trying something unskilled, allowing a character at least a chance at doing just about ''anything''. It also notes that you can't teach the skill or learn it after character generation. In these rules there is no reason to have a Jack of All Trades skill above 3, since the penalty for unskilled actions is -3 and a level 3 skill completely negates the penalty.

** This wasn't the rule for very long. The 1980 revised version of the first edition added an optional rule that a failed survival roll meant that character generation was over and the character entered play at that point, after serving only half a term of service for their last term. ''[=MegaTraveller=]'' made entering play with a half term the main rule and dying outright the optional rule. Later editions kept this, and sometimes also gave the character that failed the survival roll a medical bill, a prosthetic limb, or some other drawback.
