Well, I hope that some of you other attendees will add your perspective
to this. Dan Corrin and I met there, but I didn't meet anyone else who
I knew to be on the mailing list. There were a couple of items that I
wanted to mention.
The MegaTraveller Tournaments were well attended! We had about 50
people play the the "Flaming Eye" tournament Thursday and Friday.
This was a lot more than DGP (who ran the tournament) expected.
I think that this shows that Traveller is alive and well.
The MegaTraveller seminar given by Marc Miller, Joe Fugate and Gary
Thomas was also well attended. I didn't count them, but I expect
that we had 40-50 people there. Believe it or not, only about half
of the people in the seminar played in the tournament. In other
words, there were at least 70 people who attended a MT event.
Let's see, the seminar went for the full two hours and I'm not
sure what facts will be of general interest but here goes.
-> Marc Miller's mother's name is Margaret.
-> Marc, Joe and Gary do have a 'future history', if you will plotted
out for the rebellion. The shatter sun symbol actually shows the
borders to be if you can overlay it just right.
-> Marc was not very happy with GDW's support of MegaTraveller. Marc
explained that GDW figured that they could ignore MegaTraveller
because DGP was providing a lot of the needed support.
-> DGP has a LOT of products planned and only a handful of people
to do them. If you think that you'd like to try free-lancing,
now would be a good time. Challenge would like to publish more
MT stuff too. Write to DGP for a copy of their writer's guidelines;
send a self-addressed stamped envelope with the request. Ditto
for Challenge.
I'm sure that a really organized, professional kind of guy would
have a lot of well organised notes to refer to. Unfortunately,
you're stuck with me. :~}
