#1005 GDW on MegaTraveller

wilson m liaw · 14 February 1990

	No no no, after lots of complaining, GDW is now doing a lot wi{h
MegaTraveller. They have novels base on MegaTraveller background in the work,
a IBM MegaTraveller Game in the work, two new products for MegaTraveller
in the work, one of which is the "Imperium Fighting Ship." The new issue of
Challenge also has a lot of articles on Traveller this time.

	On the side note, Alien Source Book Vol 1 will be released at the
end of March from DGP. I believe the script has been sent to the printer
already. More on this later. World Builder Program and the 2nd Survey Data
are next on the list for debut. As far as those sector data on GEnie,
they are useless, because a lot of it will be changed in 2nd survey.

Imagine my embarresment when this came in 30 minutes *after* I had sent the
posting with my speculations about GDW and MegaT :-)

In that case, three loud cheers for the ones who coerced GDW.

But the question still is: Why did GDW almost pull traveller?
