Hm - i had high hopes for a new Lone Wolf Multiplayer Adventure, maybe even on Magnakai ranks. Any possibilities for that in 2012?

Not a Big Poster here (obviously), but I really enjoyed State of the Mongoose.
I'm a huge Traveller fan, so the update was welcome. I'm very excited about the plans for 2300 AD, which is a GREAT gaming universe, but the GDW rules were way to complex & fidgety. So that will be a welcome line indeed. Also very excited about... Traveller Star Trek!! Are you kidding me!!! Never saw that coming.
Things I'd like to see: I feel the Sector maps kinda dropped... eh, off the map. You need a map for the Reft sector to accompany the existing book, and one to go with the upcoming Deneb sector book. I'd also like to see some 28-30mm Traveller minis; NOT generic adventurer-types (don't need any o' those!), but rather for the visually-specific types like Vargr, Aslan, Droyne, Zhodani soldiers and so on.
Thanks for the notes!

A Reft Sector poster map was at least on the agenda at one point in time...

I'd like to see poster maps for Reft and Deneb sectors; and for the PDF versions of all of the maps to offer a print option for a starmap with white background and black text (with all other colour stuff in colour) so I can print out the maps as and when for use as handouts without bankrupting myself buying printer ink.

28mm metal or plastic minis for Traveller would also be great - crewmen/women, civvies, armed types, pirates, vacc suited figures, battle dressed marines, soldiers, Zhodani, Vargr, Aslan, Droyne - as mentioned above these are really needed and I suspect there is a reasonable market for them.

I'd prefer pre-painted plastic minis myself. I think minis are a great idea.

I am very happy to see that Mongoose is publishing Traveller and all the books they have published this far: In my first week, I bought 10 books, and I will spend Christmas reading through them.

I just hope to see more new products and less reprints of old GDW/DGP stuff.
Hopefully your Christmas reading will show you these are way more than just "reprints of old GDW/DGP stuff."

Far from it the "old GDW/DGP stuff" was merely a starting point from which MGP used to launch Traveller into the stratosphere and beyond!

Ouch...

Traveller minis started at the 15mm scale
then joined the 25mm/1" scale (25.4mm = 1 inch)

Enter the industry moving to 28mm for that little extra bit of detail

Now people are wanting 30mm? That's a total 20% increase in the scale (1 in = 5 ft). That's almost too big for use on a standard 1 inch grid map.


"Let the Giants loose among us!" *grin*

Sorry, sorry, sorry - how could I have missed our Italian friends?!?

Yes, the Italian fleet will indeed be included in the initial line up.
