Inquiries on DGP stuff

Our TML Historian asked some questions about DGP's publications. I
have in fact been in contact with the DGP by phone. From this I
understood that:

1) The first issue of MTJ is not yet out (or, wasn't when I spoke to
them two weeks ago). It should be out real soon now, though. The
person I spoke to said that the premiere issue should be out in
February. So, it's is just around the corner!

2) Yes, Flaming Eye is out, and has been so for a couple of months.
Manhunt is postponed, and will be released as a part of their Onnesium
triology this fall instead. Apart from this there is nothing more
advertised except their Grand Survey Software Package (or whatever
it's called). No word about their Aliens-series or Starship Operator's
Manual volume 2, or anyhting else.

3) A.I. (tm) is their new role-playing game to be released this fall
(som I suppose a lot of their energy right now goes into this!). I
asked them for a short resume of the concept, and I got it. If you're
interested I can pass on whet they said about it.

Regarding the ftp-site: Have anyone been successful in connecting to
sunbane lately? I haven't succeeded at all the last few weeks! And I
want to check that new trade-software... Could anyone send me a
mail-copy of the trade-software?

[MTJ is shipping now! Please feel free to share the AI summary with the
TML if you like.  I've been on sunbane Feb 22 and Feb 28 (today).  It
works fine; are you aware that a couple months ago the ftp address
changed to 129.100.100.12? The new trade software is there, and I have a
copy of it.  If one last ftp to sunbane fails to work, let me know and I
will send you a copy.  -- James]

Metlay, I just gave The Military Corner (Portland gaming shop) a call.
It looks like the MegaTraveller Journal will be there today, or at least
sometime in the next week.  I've been eagerly awaiting this mag!

The most recent DGP products that I know of are Vilani and Vargr,
Knightfall, and Flaming Eye.  No-one has any idea when Solomani and
Aslan or AI will be coming out, but TMC usually gets only about a week's
notice from their wholesaler (although TMC sold direct from DGP when the
company was a fledgling).  As soon as I hear of any more new products,
I'll be glad to make it generally known.  I pity you, being stuck in a
Traveller-product void.
