#6141 DGP & TNE

Chris Bray · 7 October 1993

   In regards to someone's question regarding DGP's product 'AI',
unfortunately this editor doesn't allow me to include the mail, so forgive
me whoever you are.

	According to Loren the folks in charge of DGP were having problems
outside of the company, and this had delayed the release of their product.
I have not seen any indication on when this will come out (the fact that
I have only started seeing issue 4 of the MegaTraveller's Journal could
have something to do with this).

	Another point, I am overjoyed that TML is starting to get postings
from people who are pro-TNE.  I was suffering in silence for a while as the
system/setting/editing/etc was put down, and considered leaving the list.

	As this doesn't seem to be the case I will continue reading, and
soon posting some information.  If anyone wants some TL-11 and 12 variant
traders, call me and I will put them to the list for your perusal.

I was in the same position, as you were..

Now, I was Reading this Mailing list for a couple of Months,
and say a lot of bad opinions about TNE and GDW..  It might
be right, and might be wrong..

Some info about myself..

I'm 17 years old High School Student, Attending Newtonbrook
S.S in Toronto, Canada..   I was interduced to Traveller in a
very strange way <smile>..  One day, went into my School's
library, and they held a Grabage Sale.. so I looked over it
and found this strange black box with the fallowing text on it:

        THIS IS FREE TRADER BEOWULF,
        CALLING ANYONE...
        MAYDAY, MAYDAY...WE ARE UNDER ATTACK...
        MAIN DRIVE IS GONE...
        TURRET NUMBER ONE NOT RESPONDING...
        MAYDAY...LOSING CABIN PRESSURE
        FAST... CALLING ANYONE... PLEASE HELP...
        THIS IS FREE TRADER BEOWULF...

                                MAYDAY...

 and that was my first glance at Classic Traveller, and I
bought that copy of CT for $2 (It is the Deluxe Edition CT)..
and I liked the system alot.. since most of the traveller
supp. are out of print, I had to wait until TNE is out..  So i
only know the CT and TNE history..  and I like the TNE
edition..  It gives us an unlimited option to role play, and
have an adventure.. - you want low tech level world.. you travel
to the Wilds.. you want good ol' Empirum.. you travel to the
Regency.. or want a small empire..-pocket empires setting..  I
hope that GDW will never stop producing ANY traveller Supp.

Chris, please post any TL-11 and 12 variant traders that you
have.  Thanks.

Well, i think this message is a bit too long for me.. better
stop now..

More to come :-)

To GDW:

                GOOD WORK... KEEP IT UP! there is a new
generation of Roleplayers, who want to Travel.. don't stop now!.
