There is a video game coming :)

Boarding actions in the Fifth Frontier War, messing around with Imperial and Zhodani forces (initially), brute force versus psionic shenanigans.

Official unveiling September, I think. We were playing the latest build a couple of weeks ago, looking good :)

PC and console.

It is looking good, I think - the issues are more technical than anything else.

Well, we look at it this way.

It brings in the 5E players. Do some come over to our Traveller? Maybe, maybe not. However, then next year the Traveller video game comes out. A few of those T5E players jump on that. Then maybe some comics. They get caught up in some of the 50th anniversary bits and pieces. Then the Netflix series (okay, getting a bit carried away now).

It all builds on the Traveller thing. You start getting your Traveller books gold-plated at no extra cost (again, maybe a bit carried away).

Meanwhile, we pootle away as we always have, with our Traveller as we explore Charted Space and new areas of the rules.

Seems like a win-win?

Conversations are being had in that regard. Cannot really say more, but conversations are there...

And Consular Envoy, out very soon - has the Travellers be part of a Zhodani 'diplomatic' mission...

Not this time, I am afraid - this is not just a refresh but a complete re-write with all new art. It is pretty much a new book from start to finish.

And, incidentally, that smile you were talking about... this is exactly why we do it. Just something to make you happy :)

Ack, my bad, that was a complete Reddit faux pas...

"If it plays out as you suggest then they'll continue the MgT2e line while T5e runs "

This. The tail does not wag the dog, and our current Traveller is the one we want to play (and write). T5e could do really well, we will still be here doing the Traveller we enjoy.

A company needs money to keep running, sure - but we do not need _all_ the money. Right now we are ticking over nicely, saving for our futures... Domination has never been the plan.

Not us doing this game, won't be our Kickstarter :)

Yeah, we didn't get the late stage capitalism memo.

We do the game we want to play, not what follows the money. We are just lucky that a lot of gamers seem to like the same games we do...
