Jeff Davis just asked again.
It seems that every time someone asks "I just went to the store and there's
this new Traveller:TNE - what is it and why is it different?" the same
arguments and opinions appear and we get vent and counter-vent of rabid
opinions about it.
I vented once, and only once. I feel no need to do so again.
Someone give Jeff Davis Loren's address or GDW_Support's address and let
him ask there and save us the venting.
My apologies to Jeff Davis who is probably quite nice and is quite welcome
here. He just asked a decent question just as the round of roiling was
quieting down.
Unfortunately, this question will continue to be asked - and answered with
equal vehemence on both sides.
And for the record, I did not buy and will not buy TNE because I don't like
the changes made to the setting. I believe the leap to TNE was made because
GDW had two purposes: 1. They wanted to upgrade the rule set to their set of
House Rules (used with TW:2000, cadillacs & dinos, & Dark Conspiracy)
2. They wrote themselves into a corner with the Rebellion and wanted a fresh
start. Some folks like it, and others do not.
