Yep, seems they were, Hirch. As for the elephants stompin out the burning ducks, all we ever see of them is where they've been. Being grey and all, they're darn near invisible( like chirpers), but they do tend to leave tracks about (marked by smashed once burning, now extinguished ducks).

Well, as a former refugee from the TML from several years ago, it's bee quite a while since I have been in the Traveller scene. I am getting interested again and I like what I see, so far.

I got into Traveller back in 1980. I just had the little black box with the three classic books. I was the first one on my block to get MegaTraveller in '87 and the first one to get TNE in '92.

after GDW went bye-bye, I waited to see what would happen. I was suprised to see it.

I never picked up T4. I saw it and didn't need it. I had MT already, but stuck with TNE. I joined TML around that time. Boy, was I scorched for my TNE preference. Most of those buttheads didn't treat me like a real Traveller player-regardless of my past experience. The most interesting thing of all, however, was that I found out that most of the people on TML no longer actually PLAYED the game!! They just talked about it, they didn't do. Playing games was for those young whipper-snappers who they didn't want near their prescious game-new players mean new ideas. They must be removed.

Oh, well, I left them quite a few years ago and forgot about playing traveller as I had no new players.

Enter D20.

I have played several D20 games and found players. Once I have found out that there was a new D20 version of Traveller, I ordered it from my favorite game store - waiting for it anytime, now.

I plan to use the TNE timeline with the rules (I have no problem with it) and I have got quite a few people interested. I hope that it goes well. I also hope that COTI remains a good place to hang out.

Just a quick Hullo to the board. Been lurking for a bit and been a Traveller player for many years. It was actually the first RPG I ever played. Back in 1981. Glad to see the T20 rules come out. I ran two of the mini adventures from the linkworlds PDF this last weekend and the folks I ran through it enjoyed themselves a great deal. This was their first Traveller experiance.

Keep up the good work here. See you all around.

Liam Devlin · Feb 22, 2003

Welcome to CoTI, and Back again to Traveller, Wulfhere! T20 exposure is catching! Outstanding!Stars fer you!

Ah, doing that Guest thing. You get to stomp around, ask people where the towels are at, how come there's no room service, etc. Its a hoot!

Drat! I've been found out. Yes, it is I, the Daninator.

Getting the Soc rating is easy. Just post tons of stuff onto COTI [hopefully revelevant Traveller stuff]. As for the Four star rating, I dunno, that must have just happened, cause I was at a three star rating for a while. I guess somebody likes my posts, which shows that there is no accounting for taste.

Jame · Feb 25, 2003

I don't mind the lack of service, "Dan," if that is your real name!

Just don't mind my complaining, and I'll take what I want and allow for repayment if necessary.

Hi guys, I'd like to add something important and relevant to this thread. Only I can't think of anyhting. Oh well.

Jame · Feb 25, 2003

You bring two very important things here - yourself, and your fun-to-spell-and-shoot organization, K.L.I.T.H.O.R.I.S! But if you can't think of anything to say, than GET OUT!

Fine, I will then!
