Steve Jackson Games has rejected Outrim Void. They're buying out my contract. This I didn't need this week.

I'm getting about $160 in the buyout, but the payments were supposed to be my Oregon money! Damnit, I need that vacation! At this point I'm wondering if Ground Forces was a bloody fluke, that the only reason it was any good was the fact it was a subject that I knew intimately.

At this point I'm not sure if I can write anything else, and I like writing! What the hell do I do now?

The situation is that my material is being sent to another author. I'm making sure that I at least get an "Additional Material" credit.

I know that I've been quite lucky, but it still hurts.

I'm putting together a proposal for another Traveller book, and working on a couple of JTAS submissions. One you might like: "Small Ships and Iron Men" A variant where jump requires larger drives and is riskier for larger ships. 5,000 dtons is the limit for traditional jumps. Gets the feel of the original CT universe back
