BUMP.

 

[bryan gibson]

is there some reason you are bumping this weekly? if hunter was going to make it a sticky, I'm sure he would have.

 

[Golan2072]

It's an alternative to sticky-ing this.
And besides, I usually bump it when I update the main list.

Hunter hasn't been around for over a month now, I doubt if he's seen this thread.

In the mean time, bump away

Miniphant Ai’xiao xiang-ci* saunters by wearing an Imperial beret and bumps the thread.

BUMP!

* "Low and Small Elephant that is Cute"

If nothing else it keeps the thread in the current topics list.

And the miniphants got kicked out of the moot over a month ago, so they're getting a tad restless...

Something like that has been talked about, and is still a definite possibility. I've talked to Marc Miller and David Deitrick about doing something like an Osprey Men-At-Arms book for Traveller uniforms, and they're both totally on-board.

 

[mike wightman]

Now that's something I wouldn't mind seeing

Would it include weapons, armour, vehicles etc.?

 

[Random Goblin]

It's still more of an idea than something fully fleshed-out at this point. I guess the question is, what woulod people like to see?

Probably it would just be uniforms at first, for practicality. Then, if it did well, more could follow.

The basic stuff, I suppose, for us civvies to use: a short glosarry of acronyms, unit organization ideas, general military stuff. Just a guide to allow us to run the military forces in our TUs better.

 

[Andrew Boulton]

Of course, this does mean we actually have to work out what the uniforms, rank insignia, etc look like first...

 

[Random Goblin]

Well, when I pitched the idea to David deitrick (my father), and Marc Miller originally, it was something along the lines of "hey, here's something you guys should do."

But somewhere it turned into "Okay Conrad (me); you write it, Marc will edit and approve, and David will illustrate!"

And I've been a smidge overwhelmed. I had some life-stuff get in the way (orders to deploy to Afghanistan, a move to NYC), and now they're starting to bring it up again, and I sort of don't know where to start.

 

[mike wightman]

Lots of new folks on the boards at the moment.

This thread could be useful to them - hence the bump.

Well, just a thought, but it would be easier to read all at once rather than clicking around.

Is six plus months later too late? I don't think so.
