Yes.
I talked to Marc, and we agreed that in order to get the project off the ground financially I'd pay him ten grand for a limited edition of one gold-plated T5 CD (cover studded with gems in the Imperial starburst logo).
I got it in the mail today, and I'm pleased. Marc went beyond the call here.
He rewrote the metaplot such that the current Emperor is called Rhialto, and resides on Rhialto/Rhialto, from where he directs the Rhialto Navy that enforces trade routes for Rhialto Inc. that were explored by the Rhialto Scouts.
Further, while I had to concede, grudgingly, that the game will continue to be called "Traveller," I did persuade him to make Rhialto both a class AND a skill (replaces J-o-T).
