We need a Star Fleet Universe/Cthulhu crossover. Ia! Ia! Trib-niggurath! The black tribble of the woods with a thousand young!

That is the most disturbing thing I have read in a long long time. Congratulations!
Now where did I put my Glomer.....

And it's the POD that I'm calling vapourware- along with the rest of the line. They had a last minute cancellation of the Mongoose hardcopies, grudgingly put out the PDF, talked vaguely about remitting the whole thing to a new system and setting called Void and Hastur knows when well see Horrors of the Void- it's as SNAFUed as SNAFU can be!

Chthonian Stars is/was an interesting product with some nice contributions to Traveller.
Frankly though, I have given up on the company entirely. I'm not particularly interested in The Void at all. They produced some exciting and fresh ideas for Traveller and I'm more interested in Traveller than a new and unproven game system.
For whatever the reason, they've fallen out in some fashion or other with two publishers, plus they appear to have no real grasp of staying in contact with their customers.
Given all of the time that has elapsed, it surely wouldn't have been THAT hard to make the PDF available as a POD format. Maybe given the problems they are now hacked off with trying to bring their games to the market, but I'm not feeling much interest in communicating OR in providing product.
Personally I see them as close to flatlining.
It's a shame because I would have loved to have seen this as a whole Traveller product line.

It adds plenty to Traveller as it stands, but I would like to see a POD option, I HATE running games from a PDF!
I imagine they are too busy with Cthulhu Tech or something to give proper attention to this. Especially since they have "day jobs" and are not a full time RPG company like Mongoose.

I received an email from amazon.ca (Not .com) to purchase the book later in January at a discount as I have purchased other MGT books from them. Has anyone else gotten an email from them? I still don't know if the deadtree will be an actual print run or if they just never recieved an update from the publisher.
I have not heard about any such emails nor have I received one.
If I read your message correctly, they are indicating intention to have the book available in January?
That would be very cool if it turned out to be true.
I couldn't agree more with both your points! I think it adds a nice variation and I hate running from a PDF.
I still have not heard back from my last email to Drive-through RPG...

Well, the news from Wildfire posted on their own forums today is that there'll be some more news if we just wait.
Nothing at all about the POD of Chthonian Stars though. The little they have to say relates to CthulhuTech and a mention of The Void.

The forum you linked me to seems to predate other data indicating they would still produce a POD. Specifically I had contact with Matthew who stated it wa still a plan to make the Traveller version available as a POD.
That being said, I hold little hope. I'd really love to see this book available...
