Steve Camp:
>Marc Miller...is he still at GDW?
Marc's selling insurance now, but he remains a stockholder and a member
of the board of directors.
SOmebody beat me to the punch mentioning Jeff Swycaffer's novels (he's done
five or six, all set in his version of the Traveller universe called
the Preasidium of Archive. They were published by Daw, I believe, and
were done with the knowledge and permission of GDW (he asked us ahead of
time, and we said yes).
Jeff Groteboer has also had a novel published ( I forget the name) set in his
gaming universe. Both books mention the game as their inspiration, and
acknowledge GDW's trademark.
Who the H*LL are these "reputable sources" that keep saying we've gone
bankrupt? For the last decade, it seems that somebody has an "inside
source" that says we're about to go under...jeez.
For the record, as of 22:40 CST 29 March 1993, GDW is still in business,
and plans on remaining so long enough to finance my retirement annuity.
And I am as inside as sources get...they don't get any more inside than
me.
We have been experiencing some cash flow problems lately...GDW has been
undercapitalized since 1973 (20 years ago this June), but we will
pull through (we've done it before). Being sued hasn't helped at all.
The woman who answers the phone is named Dianne, BTW. Try not to
give her too much flak about TNE not being out yet...it isn't her fault
(I'll take part of the blame). Anybody who wants a copy of the
TNE promo flyer mentioned above send me your address via Email, and I'll
send you one.
Steve Fellows: We disconnected the 800 number because it was costing us
a frigging fortune.
Sorry I haven't posted here in a while...my machine is giving me trouble...
more so than usual lately.
