So a traveller supplement by the company(now) who did low life? How cool off a project to break in on! Congratulations:)

Woot to you!

The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

Ugh. Not good.
Just my oppinion, but MonT. seems dysfunct.
AFAIR it has massive glitches and bugs.

My character sheet was inexistant, and when I hastly made one the GM didn\'t care to have a look at it."

I'll add my voice to the chorus. It feels groovy when the first one comes in. Just make sure you count the dollars and cents carefully. ;)

I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.

:rolleyes: That's the only Traveller one can get paid for currently. Unless you happen to be MWM himself or write for SJG. Even MJD's effectively closed up Avenger and is only doing gaming work for Mongoose who at least pay him and take care of any wrangles with MWM. (update, no he's clear out of Traveller now) Even though it's been far too publicly discussed and emo drama drawn out, I get why.

Besides it doesn't take much to use almost *any* Traveller stuff in any other Traveller system and MGT is more compatible than some. More Traveller stuff is a good thing and with the OGL / SRD you can make some beer money on it too.

That is correct. CT, MT and MGT are very cross-compatible. It's not an impossible task to run the classic CT adventures or MT's "Arrival vengeance" with MGT.

It is true, sadly, that the Mongoose version seems to suffer from the usual typos and editing problems the company has gotten us used to.

Thank you all once again for the support; I wasn't quite expecting such a level of enthusiastic answers. :o

I like MGT.  I think they stayed close to the original Classic Traveller vision for the main rules.  The Pocket Rulebook is one of my best purchases of the past few years (tiny font, though!).

Yeah I have to agree with everyone else and congratulations !
I liked working on Traveller but that was a different time but I do like to see new people getting involved and making a go of it :)
Currently doing nothing.

No need to apologize. Seeing your stuff in print is one of the most gratifying things a writer can achieve. It ranks right up there with positive feedback/reviews and my personal favorite --seeing artwork that depicts your writing in print.

Congrats!
