KUDOS to TML-Contributors
ACCOLADES to our Discussion Leader and Master of Ceremonies,
David Johnson for his fine job in stepping up the rythm on the
TML. His latest custom-campaign contributions serve to magnify
his already amazing level of contribution! I've checked out his o o
fanzine Melbourne Times, and it is a doozy (and very nicely \___/
illustrated too). His alternate Traveller setting is quite
excellent, and reasonably priced. I plan on using it as a
parallel-diverged universe, getting my players there via the
epitome of misjumps -- perhaps by crossing their ship's
jump-field with the field generated by a pair of experimental
teleportation booths they shall be transporting -- to emerge from
Jump Space on the Other Side. Thankyou David. Long live the
Aeroi!
CHEERS, for:
Jo Grant -- For contributing the imaginative and very-well
written "CRITTER COMPETITION" virtual reality adventure
scenario and background (in bun#/msg#'s: 525/6483, 526/6487, oo
553/6960, 560/7036, & 577/7229); and the AMBER ZONE - ON THE \__/
ROCKS (568/7135). You are definitely our Blue Ribbon writer!
Karl Crandall -- Who has his players play themselves! They
are hiking through the Canadian wilderness on present-day
Earth, when lo-and-behold, they spot a UFO! Lets get the
heck out of here! Then Project Blue Book shows up, and...
(read the rest for yourself). I enjoyed immensely Karl's
description of an ancient high-tech missile designed to
capture rather than destroy enemy ships! (569/7139).
James M. Kelleher -- For giving a detailed overview of his
campaign, and for introducing us to each of the members of
his PC group (561/7056). I shall be using these for an
upcoming encounter in my own campaign.
Allen Shock -- For sharing with us the nature of the
two campaigns he runs (561/7050). Very insightful: Classic
Traveller for his "newbies", TNE for his veterans.
Rick Blackburn -- For his extensive world write-up on
"Mega-Earth" (561/7151). Rick, your new charts turned out
fine; perhaps other TML'ers would like to see the revised
posting with the fixed charts...
David Hoey (from "down under") -- For posting a TNE-scenario
posing the PC's up against not a TED, but something much much
worse ruling the planet: POWERFUL PSIONIC PRIESTS!
(568/7130).
Jeff Zeitlin and Bryan Borich -- Who both posted mock news
items and want ads for use in a Traveller campaign. Jeff's
are posted as they appear in the game, Bryan's are reprints
of items written by members of the HIWG - with ref-notes in
76-Patrons style. (539/6693 & 552/6944, respectively).
KUDOS :) go to our resident-Traveller-expert and research
librarian, Steven Bonneville, who has almost single-handedly
pieced together the entire Traveller-Universe-Puzzle for us. He 0 0
has asked for our help to fill in the gaps, so please don't \___/
hesitate, and let him know what you know! I've worked on this
type of thing myself (see the message references above), so I
know how many hours this can take -- LOTS! (BTW, Steve, thanks.
Man, you must have spent DAYS seeking out those subsector names!
You've helped me fill in some of the more elusive gaps in my
Traveller astrographical lists).
SPECIAL PRAISES go to our TML Administrator and guardian angel,
James Perkins, without whom none of this would have been
possible. James says he does it because he enjoys seeing "the
personalities discussing and sharing" on the TML. Be sure to show
him your gratitude.
Sincerely,
Roger Sanger
