Surprise! You're an author!
Kirsten and I were running errands yesterday, and ended up in Palo Alto. So we went into Gamescape, where I found that GURPS Traveller: Humaniti. We had just enough money for me to get it.
Open the book and see this:
Written by Carlos Alos-Ferrar, Douglas E. Berry, Kurt Brown, James Maliszewaki, Andrew Moffatt-Vallance, Hans Rackne-Madsen, Jim Snead, and Jon F. Zeigler
Remember my cancelled Trojan Reach project from last year? SJG bought back the rights to everything I had submitted, and one of those things was the write-up for the Floriani, a divergent human race
In the Traveller setting, an alien race known only as the Ancients took humans, both Homo erectus and Homo sapiens, from Earth about 300,000 years ago. Some of these samples were genetically modified, others just placed on worlds. We have no idea why this was done. There were at least 90 worlds seeded in this manner. About forty survived. The Ancients also took wolves and modified them into a race now known as a Vargr.
The Floriani are actually two species living in a symbiotic relationship. The Barani are designed for mental tasks, but are completely lacking in innovation. The Feskals are big, strong and dumb. They have an interesting society.
I don't get any further payment for this (This is work I've already been compensated for, but it's nice to see some of the disaster the was Trojan Reach see the light of day.
