If you wouldn't mind a cut and paste, I'm sure we'd all love to read it.
What's up with Traveller IP
- Thread starter Sigtrygg
- Start date
[This particular announcement comes to you as a member of COTI.]
[By the way, the Emperor's Birthday is August 29, (or 241-2024 in the Imperial notation). ]

Some years ago, fellow game designer Greg Stafford died, and I was impressed that his company announced almost immediately that he had a succession plan in place, and that his legacy and his designs would live on.
His example was an inspiration to me, and I resolved to emulate him. It would be a terrible loss if Traveller were encumbered, or somehow restricted in its outreach to present and future fans.
With that in mind, I have worked to make Traveller an asset to science-fiction role-players... with our user-friendly Fair Use policies, with the Travellers’ Aid Society programs, with the Cepheus editions of Traveller, and with Mongoose as a primary publisher of their edition of Traveller.
Over the past several years, I have turned over more and more responsibilities to Mongoose, and I have collaborated actively with them as they work to realize the Traveller dream. Earlier this year I passed full ownership of Traveller to Mongoose in order to secure its future.
With that in mind, I point out that, following the example of Greg Stafford, I have a succession plan in place: day-to-day decisions about the Traveller game system are already being made by Mongoose Publishing (with my co-operation and approval), and if anything should happen to me, they would carry on with my full knowledge and blessing.
That doesn’t stop me from speaking my mind: expressing opinions about Traveller, writing stories and lore, and even revealing secrets about the universe.
But Traveller is in good hands, now, and far into the far future.
And I thank you for your (continuing) support for Traveller.

Does that mean the Mongoose Staff are the Draysaskin . . . ?
Why, oh why do these things almost always seem to happen when I'm working...?
This news broke just as we were stopping work
I mean, that happens when you work in the UK and deal with those darn Americans. Always up to stuff after hours.This news broke just as we were stopping work

Hey, most of my stuff is dealt with when they are starting the day. Even if I may get up to stuff after hours (for either the UK or US).
And then the Australians kick in...
