<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I DID have a big one - I knew Mongoose was chasing
the Traveller licence, I suspect, before Marc Miller did. This is because
Mongoose approached me for information and whatever assistance I could offer
when they began looking into it. Never told anyone, nor revealed any of the
updates I got, so you can rest assured I won't be revealing anything that's not
due for release yet. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But I can say that right now... I know nothing
except what's public.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>From conversations I've had with Mongoose I'm
reasonably confident that I'll be involved somewhere...!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV> Hey Martin, pesonally, I'm glad that you
may be involved in what Mongoose is working on. I'm not sure I really
understand their info release on the subject, but we all know you to be an
upstanding and heart-feeling Travellerite (despite the peanut gallery), and I
for one would feel much more comfortable about the whole thing with you "in
the loop". Avengers products have been great, and all the above is not
sycophancy, just an opinion based on having acutally used some of your work,
and having my players enjoy the experience. That last part there is the
most important to me.</DIV>
<DIV> I'm sure you have signed/will be signing multiple "I
swear we'll cut your arms off at the knees if you tell" non-disclosure
agreements, but anything you could throw out would be appreciated.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hey, check that out, no gnashing of teeth!</DIV>
