I guess my query about it is around the way it seems to have people saying 'but we don't talk about it'. Am I right in understanding that it's not Marc approved (and may or may not be 'approved of' in his own eyes) but that that's irrelevant because it's allowed under what I believe is called OGL? And then stemming from this I get into unanswerable questions about causing 'upset' and what is "really" Traveller? (i.e. should I be attempting to collect CE stuff for the bibliography and future versions) (or is this a good moment to realize I can't collect *everything* and call it a day?) But I appreciate you've probably said all you're comfortable with so this is really me thinking aloud. cheers tc
