That's a pretty hefty list of proposed titles (over 40 including 4 Quads for each Sector). How often are you planning to release new product? The 'one product a month' schedule at IG was a disaster as it led to pretty much every single release being rushed and unfinished. I'm sure almost all of us would've preferred waiting 2-3 extra months for good (i.e. edited, proofread, and in some cases totally rewritten) products. Not that I'm accusing you guys of sharing IG's level of (un-)professionalism, but I worry about launching something so ambitious right from the start. (Also keep in mind that if SJG keeps up their recent pace of releases we're going to be bombarded with new product, and I'm not sure there's enough of a market to support all of it; at least not yet).

Heh, no we aren't nuts that is a wish list of title ideas we'd like to see done that prospective authors might be interested in working on. It does NOT represent a proposed release schedule!
To start with we are looking at a modest beginning of once every 2-3 months with the hope of *eventually* ramping up to a monthly release schedule.

Diplomacy and Statecraft seems to be missing from your career-oriented-books list. You're probably mentally sticking it together with Nobles, but I think the scope is different enough to merit a separate product (so long as I don't have to write it!).

It is not listed because we have a possible submission from an author on the topic

One of my suggestions in the old T^5 product line thread was to make all boardgames 'dual format,' including pieces to play on a table, but also software to play both solitaire and online via computer. However, ISTR reading somewhere (here, surely) that the OGL specifically forbids d20-based computer games without a separate (and expensive) license, so I guess that idea's right out.

Well we already have a Traveller software product,
GRIP: Traveller, and plan to work on it to make it completely compatible with T20.
As far as the d20 license goes you are correct we cannot make a d20 software product, but we can make a T20 software product using the T20 logo rather than the d20 logo...

"LBB" adventures, eh? If you're saying LBB you'd better mean LBB; teasing us old-timers with those letters would just be cruel.

Its an idea. I am not promising that it will be done, but it is a format we are considering. One caveat, they would have artwork on the covers rather than the old stripe on black format.
BTW, include me in that 'us old-timers' phrase
While I may be the new Traveller publisher on the block, I have been playing the game since 79.
