Sorry, that I haven't responded sooner... Went up to Gencon and talked to
both GDW and DGP. When I was at the GDW booth there were no Challenge
people there so the best that they could do for me was to take my name and
address so that they could send their "Writers guidelines". Interestingly
enough one of the names that had signed up for these guidelines I
recognized... Charles Kallenbach (I think that's how it's spelled) how was
one of the people behind Paranoia Press in the early 1980's (Beyond,
Vangard Reaches, SORAG, etc.). Hopefully we will see some new material
from him!
Anyway I also talked to Joe Fugate and Rob Caswell at DGP. I asked them if
they were interested in submissions for MTJ and Joe said that Rob was the
one responsible for submissions. So I gave them a copy of the rough draft
(on both paper and floppy) and explained a little about what we've been
discussing. Rob was not aware of TML but Joe was. They seemed very
interested in the article, Joe pointed out that their new base of
operations is fairly close to yours.
They made sure that they had both my home and work address and phone #.
Only time will tell...
Otherwise Gencon was enjoyable even though there was no new MegaTrav
products, unless you want to count Challenge 51. Solomani and Aslan should
be released in October, and the new GDW adventure should be released in
September. There was several vendors that had older Traveller material,
and I managed to pick up some replacement copies of some of my time worn
old books. All in all an enjoyable time.
