MTJ#4 is a DGP publication. According to the editoral (by Joe Fugate)
it is the last Traveller publication that DGP will produce. I got the
impression that they (DGP) didn't like the New Era, and intended to
concentrate on AI (which is in the playtest stage).
Joe specifically mentioned the MegaTraveller Alien series, and said that
the remaining volumes will NOT be produced.
DGP will be spending it's full time and money on AI; there is a three
page article on AI in MTJ#4, as well as a special offer for Traveller
players to purchase it at a very good price. Joe also mentioned that AI
is in the playtest stage, and that DGP will be devoting their full time
and energy to getting that game ready for publication.
There are a number of other articles of interest ... a very long
Traveller Q&A (which includes an explanation of the Primordials), and a
bunch of internal letters and memos from DGP archives.
And yes, it's still $12.95.
All in all, if you have to make a choice between MTJ#4 and Survival
Margin, I'd pick MTJ#4. Your best bet is to get both, however.
