Well, as much as I dislike the sweeping hand of the virus, I have gone ahead
and moulded my traveller world to the new scenarios and rules. I'm looking
forward to the new architecture guide, but that's more a toy for me than a
necessary game aid for my players. Granted, I ripped out the section on the
virus and left it impressively destructive, but made if a little more
realistic for my own suspension of disbelief. The game has been going quite
well - two "old timers" from cold storage awaken into a world having been
rescued from a cometary orbit by a planet just reaching through Tech 8 and
climbing out into space. Plenty of good role playing and the new rules
haven't changed the game that much for us. The biggest gripe my players have
is the lack of rules for aliens - they enjoyed playing Aslan and
particularly Vargr (my own personal favorite as well).

So at least one of us has gone on ahead and followed GDW to see where it
goes...
