Ask MongooseMatt ANYTHING!!!

[Terry Mixon]

Okay, not really anything, but when we post questions about the rules or potential typos in the feedback area, we often don't receive a response, so I'm creating this thread in the hopes of getting some response to questions we have, even if it is "we're looking at that" or some such.

I'll kick this off with a question I posted a few days ago. The emergency low berths in High Guard 2022 Update are listed at MC1 a pop. Seems real pricy since Mongoose 1e and all the previous versions of Traveller we checked had it being KCr100. In Mongoose 1e, it was listed as MCr.1 and we suspect a typo. Can we get some clartity on that so we can update the starship build sheet to reflect what we suspect if we're right? Thanks.

Also, allow me to suggest that adding KCr, BCr (or GCr to please @Geir), and TCr to your repertoire would be really helpful and would minimize the complaints about not having comma separation in your big numbers, too.

And sorry for all the wild AMA questions you're about to get @MongooseMatt.

Does Mongoose Publishing have Gift Certificates or an online store credit program? I'm currently looking into the feasibility of having Traveller related design contests on my social media sites and would like to be able to offer some kind of prize for the winner.

The jitters are intensifying....

So, I’m starting to put together some things I intend to submit for the next JTAS set and have some questions, @MongooseMatt.

First, any clue how far out those submissions are from now? Knowing even generally how much time I have would help me get myself in order.

Second, are there submissions guidelines anywhere? Knowing what form and length you’re looking for would be helpful.

The general call for more articles is likely a couple of years away (2027, the anniversary year, is going to kinda take it out of us ). However, we will accept submissions for JTAS at any time, so if the creative mood takes you, send them in! It may take a while for us to get to them, but you will be near the top of the pile

As for guidelines, we intentionally don't have them for JTAS, as the whole point is that anyone can submit pretty much anything. We generally just say 1-12 pages in Word, and leave it at that.

Now, if you get pickled for writing bigger things beyond JTAS (it happens, Hellworld Heists came from that route), then oh boy do we have guidelines. However, for JTAS we want to keep it simple.
