Expanding Traveller Canon

[T. Foster]

While looking around the newly revamped FFE website, I came across an interesting tidbit on the Gamelords press-release page:

The acquisition of this material allows it to be incorporated into the Traveller canon

The same statement also appears on the FASA press-release page.

While of little/no consequence to those of us who define "Traveller canon" as 'whatever products I own and use,' this statement (assuming it is followed through on by Marc Miller/FFE) might have some interesting repercussions for the current Traveller licensees (SJG and QLI) who have (per my understanding) been using the FFE Traveller Canon listing as an official record both of what may be consulted as source material and as what must not be contradicted by their new developments. King Richard, Sky Raiders, Far Frontiers, Reaver's Deep -- welcome back into the Official fold!

Let's hope that Marc can give our buddy Paul of Cargonaught Press an extra boast. As most of the lost supplements really look like things that Gamelords never got around to...

Spiff-a-roo, to coin a phrase.

As a one-time CT player just now getting back into the game, the reprints are a gods-send, and this news makes it even better.

This is nifty - more Stuff to look forward to.

Now if I could only find symbol sets for Campaign Cartographer that were more oriented toward building SF settings rather than fantasy settings...

To quote a quaint colloquial phrase: "Yeehaw!"
And I just got my Xmas Pressie from UK bud, FASA ISPMV Fenris, and ISPMV Tethys (with the deckplans by george!!).
