New Traveller PDF - SITREP 2: Aster

[MJD]

This sort of thing greatly contributed to my general weariness of the games industry. I've had some quite fascinating personal attacks over things that I wrote, and things that some people *assume* I wrote because they suck.

Ironically, a certain segment of the traveller community does like my work - but insists on praising Hunter Gordon for it. Can't tell the difference between company owner and main author.

This is one reason why I like the Mongoose traveller setup. Most of the people who'd be on my case are instead sitting around discussing how much they hate Mongoose (whether they've seen a given product or not), so the Mongoose audience is composed of two groups:

1. Those who're a bit more open minded about the game and don't care about fighting the Canon Wars.
2. New players who have never heard of the Canon Wars.

This is a god thing.

I just know I've never read an MJD work I didn't like.

Is that a challenge?

A challenge would mean that it would be hard for you to do

Is that a challenge?

Time to dust off those sentient puddles of water, I think........

 

[MJD]

Umm, those sentient puddles are actually oceans, and they weren't my invention....

Well, good point; but consider: adding actual plagarism, and getting it canonically wrong, should just about manage to make a product that meets the challenge.....

Don't you DARE kill off "Shotgun" Mike! I will not be held responsible for my actions if you do!! :lol:

Yeah, I can be a bit hard on characters. Especially ones I like.

Yeah but Mike has had a hard time already, and the whole Slider angle has potential.

A hard time??? Wait until I get started!

Martin J. Dougherty personally and willfully ruined Traveller all by himself. EVERYONE knows that! :twisted:

Ah, I hope he will continue to do so, I am really a fan of the way he ruins
Traveller ... :lol:

This is, of course, a totally unsupportable opinion. :twisted:

So, therefore, I must disagree ...

In Now Way What So Ev ER. :lol:

But, as with all else from Aerotech to

uh ...

Whatever RPG begins with the letter "Z," my purchasing it will of course require (1.) that it be available in dead-tree and (2.) that I have money enough for it, which won't be difficult come September 30th.

You killed his father, we've never heard about his mother, he lost his entire training squad in a Mek ambush and he finds himself the target of the ire of goodness knows how many corporations all because of something his Dad worked on that he knew nothing about.

That was backstory. There's 2.3 novels actually written at this point, and I've still not even got started.

BTW - the planned finale to the 'Standing' series is called Last Man Standing. Go figure.

So based on your previous posts that gives us:

Standing Alone
Standing Together
Standing Firm
??????
Last Man Standing (Featuring Bruce Willis????)

:lol:

Standing Tall is the missing one.

 

[lastbesthope]

Well now we have the titles all we need is the novels, I'm tempted to give "Together" another quick proof scanning sometime soon.
