Whatho
Once upon a time, before the sinking of F.G.U. and the rise of Star Wars
licensed products, there was a game called Traveller. It came in three small
booklets and it was good. But with the waning of the years of innocence GDW did
look upon the face of their sales, and lo, begat Mega Traveller of Many
Colours, and did fill it with many fine and strangely crafted rules. But yeah
the people of the Imperium did look upon the new creation wrought in the image
of the three books and lo saw that it was flawed. Listening to the torment of
the multitiude GDW did release errata sheets; and they were legion. And the
people did name the Many Coloured One "Typo Traveller" and were filled with
dismay.
With the passing of the age of Innocence came 'The New Era', and there was many
wiping of slates clean. And lo the sides of the die did multiply thricefold and
more, the Imperium was swept away, and the people did weep. Yet from within the
lamentation the people did look upon the new book and did like the new
uncluttered task system and rejoiced over character generation. And yeah they
threw down their laser carbines for they were as nought in the face of the
enemy, and picked up rifled muskets for they had better penetration at small
range than the ACR with DS rounds.
And yet in this moment of triumph 'Errata', the Evil One, did once more spoil
the party with seditious mistakes and inconsistencies.
And it is Now, and I that speak to you from the far distant land of England. A
land that has not yet seen the light of FF&S or indeed this:
U> From: [email removed]
U> There are 2 books and 1 booklet in the deluxe box: TNE rules, FF&S, adn
U> an "upgrade" booklet that covers changes to the main rules that have
U> been made by the creation of FF&S. It says that "updated rule books
U> will have the designation version 1 mod 1, dec 1993 on the title page".

With confusion and a sadly dwindeling bank account, I seek T:TNE Errata to fill
the holes in our blessed book. Sages of the TML, answer me:
What errata is currently available?
Where may such wise lore be found?
Does this involve more than changes to system travel times?
Will GDW slay Errata for good with version 1 mod 1?
I can only watch and hope.
