I am thinking of doing a time travel or crosstime game on Roll20 or Fantasy Grounds. Probably Infinite Worlds based, but quite possibly Centrum Light.

What supported rule-sets would work well for this that people know of?

(While not officially supported, GURPS is an option of course.)

I've got the Mongoose Traveller books but haven't paid much attention to the system.

Off hand, I'd think any space tech game would also work for time travel, as long as you don't mind making up the specific rules for time machines.

Note I am mostly seeing time travel as determining "how the PCs get to the adventure and what they need to do there" rather than the other TT plot of actively messing around with paradoxes, etc.
