Dear Folks –

 

Timothy asked:

_The Travellers’ Digest_ #9 [Capital], p 11.

 

Also has Emperor Strephon, Empress Iolanthe, Archduke Dulinor, Archduchess Jessica, and the Lady Isis.



Thank you!  Yes, should have thought of that as well.

The reason I'm asking, for those who want a tantalizing "preview", is that I now formally have permission to do Steve Ellis' wonderful _Eve of Rebellion_ adventure which I write about here:

under 'Second Highlight' (when the game was originally called _Imperial Intrigue_)

and under 'Mirabilis' here:
https://www.freelancetraveller.com/features/stories/aartravcon17.html



as a March Harrier Publishing publication [1].  I'm aiming for the end of the year or early next year.

The text is pretty much good to go, but what I'd really like is five illustrations of the principal characters (Strephon, Dulinor, Iphigenia, Norris and Lucan/Varian) and have approached one artist already.  Ideally it would be great if they looked vaguely like canon references although I don't regard that as a showstopper.

_Eve of Rebellion_ was probably the highlight of my Traveller playing career as I not only played Emperor Strephon *and* survived the assassination attempt, but also won for it, along with Anne playing Iphigenia, a Starburst for Extreme Heroism at the end of the convention.  So I'm really delighted that with a fair wind I'll be able to bring it to a wider audience.

my small attempt to add a chapter to the Traveller Adventure and/or provide a 'stopover on a backwater world' for pretty much any merchant crew.
