And my very old circle of friends STILL discuss it to this day. Yeah...we're old - but we played a LOT of Traveller. In fact, so much so that I had to make sure my auto-correct at work paid close attention to the world...

I love playing and writing RPG's - I bought some of the books you worked on! We played in Greyhawk a lot with our 25+ level characters in Dungeons and Dragons!

I hope things are going well for you!

Thank you! All goes well for me. I focus more on artwork that writing these days with an interest in horror and science fiction.

Thanks for triggering my happy memories devouring those books, mine was the plain black box set, unfortunately long gone, but great its still got a strong following online.

Me too! I lost mine a long time ago as well. There seems to be free rules and kind of an open-source concept evolving - GitHub character generators etc!!

Played GDW Traveller in the 80s. Playing and running @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social Traveller now. Have fond memories of the 'hard science' in Traveller...
