[TML] Fwd: Re: Mongoose Traveller

[Tom Cusworth]

Time to weigh in, I suppose

In my experience (as a consumer, not a creator) I've always found what
mongoose products I have bought to be of good quality. I think that, on the
whole, the content is of a decent standard and they do support their games
with supplements (let's face it, Traveller has been lacking in supplements
of late, with the exception of the Gateway stuff from QLI and the excellent
1248 books from Avenger (removes head from accidental placement in Martin's
butt!). I mean, look at the Judge Dredd RPG they published for d20, for
example. The first company to publish it, IIRC, were Games Workshop in the
80's, but they only put out half a dozen (if that) supplements/adventures
for the game.

Mongoose did how many? 12? All good in my opinion.

If the Mongoose Traveller products attract new players and re-ignite the
flame, then it's all good in my opinion.

Seriously, all that is needed is a larger fan base (let's face it, Mongoose
do have a fan base) to attract new players to our beloved game.

New players mean more players. More players mean more FTF games, which gives
me (a olde-tyme Traveller player) a much better chance of finding a gaming
group who are willing to play the game, dammit!! *Takes deep breath*

So, thank you to Avenger, QLI and Mongoose for keeping the flame alive
(whatever the respective motives or ethics may be...) Oh, and thanks too, to
the listmoms for getting the list back up again. Sterling job! I
unsubscribed myself by accident some time ago and couldn't find the TML
again (don't ask!). Now, like Martin, I find myself re-subscribed by
accident (happy accident in my case). BTW, welcome back Martin!
