JTAS Online archived anywhere?

[paltrysum]

Does anyone know if Steve Jackson Games' JTAS Online was archived anywhere? The link from FFE does not work.

 

[CordwainerFish]

Nowhere that I have been able to find, and I'm not saying there's a Jolly Roger in my flag locker but I'm not saying there isn't, either.

 

[agentwigggles]

Have you tried writing them?
They tend to be pretty open and quick to respond.

 

[Jame Rowe]

I believe that they're available on one of the FFE CDs.

 

[Sigtrygg]

Yes, there is a whole disc worth.

It looks like Traveller GURPS 1 & 2 both include the same GURPS JTAS vol 1 on the CD-ROMs.

Traveller GURPS 3 only appears to include the aforementioned FFE broken link launched in browser.

Suggesting GURPS JTAS vol 2+ are currently unobtainable to Traveller fans.

GURPS disc 3 contains all the archived JTAS online from 2000 to 2016 and a copy of Grognard.

The second link I posted above has the contents.

I bought all 3 GURPS discs not too long ago and being able to search the pdfs is a gods send.

 

[Limpin Legin]

Great. Although the link you provided doesn't go as far as to say that. Mysterious why they wouldn't want people to find out, as it would favourably influence purchase decision in their favour ?

 

[paltrysum]

Hmm. Too bad I don't live in the 2010s when I had a disc player.

 

[Sigtrygg]

He can ship them as USB drive or to dropbox, just ask.

I just bought a few things - the CT apocrypha on the 4 for 3 deal (I have the originals but can no longer read them so I need the pdfs).

Marc offered to ship them as cd - or USB drive - or as dropbox link.

His customer service is first rate.

Hmm. Too bad I don't live in the 2010s when I had a disc player.

Yeah, the whole experience feels like buying music from lesser known bands in the Nineties, minus having to make a transoceanic phone call after figuring out what time people in Scotland would be awake.
