<div>Time to weigh in, I suppose<br> </div>
<div>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.

<div>Mongoose did how many? 12? All good in my opinion.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If the Mongoose Traveller products attract new players and re-ignite the flame, then it's all good in my opinion. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>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. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>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*

<div>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!
