Steve Jackson (of Steve Jackson games, not the pocket books)
was one of the guests at GaelCon recently (SJG do GURPS for those
who don't know). I was talking with him about various things. Of
relevance to this was if anyone had got the tender for doing a
GURPS sourcepack for C.J.Cherryh's Union/Alliance/Compact universe.
(The answer was no, but he and she are open to the idea) I mentioned
we had been kicking the idea aroud on the CherryhList but mainly
looking at things in terms of MegaTraveller rules. He thought this
was quite sensible as the two universes were very similar. He had
great praise for the MT rules. "The UTP is a wonderful idea: simple
and elegant. If I ever do a 4th Edition GURPS I will allow myself
to be *heavily* influenced by it." He was shocked to discover that
The New Era, which he hasn't had a chance to look at, dropped it.
He just sort of shook his head. (He affirmed that the Star Vikings
were Marc Miller's fault and he stole them from some book whose name
I can't remember)
