As my ego reaches critical mass.

As most of you know, I have on occasion written role-playing games. My biggest work so far was GURPS Traveller: Ground Forces. That book has received much acclaim. People often rank it as one of the best Traveller supplements ever.

This is good for my ego.

Now, we have an oft-delayed book detailing the Imperial Navy. It has gone through several sets of authors. People have started a movement to draft me to take over as primary author. That's rather amazing, in my opinion.

Let's see if the publisher agrees.

All *RIGHT*! I'll keep my fingers crossed. You'd be perfect for this.

Oooh. Navy.

Don't wait for an answer. Start working on it now. I'd hate to see you paint yourself into a corner again the way you did with Starships.

I'm in the camp who agrees that Ground Forces was not only the best Traveller supplement but probably one of the top ten in quality for GURPS releases overall.

If you're going to end up doing Imperial Navy, I'll buy it in a heartbeat. If you're not, I'm going to continue being in general bored with GURPS and save my money for other game system books. I'll bet you a lot of people are going to agree with me on that, too.

I'll keep all my appendages crossed that this works out for you. That would rock!
