and he's right. Classic Traveller had the best cover of all time. Those words still give me chills.

Some old CT and MT die-hards (but I repeat myself) found that implication to be presumptuous of GT, to say that it was "coming to the rescue."

I say fuck 'em.

After the death of GDW and the Creeping Horror that was T4, the news that an established company with a good history of quality was picking up the line and was hiring Loren to edit it was seen as a rescue.

I've owned Traveller products since the original LBBs - bought in a store new, still in the box. I've owned every edition of Traveller since. My hat of overly pretentious, self-important grognards knows no limit, however, so I pay their opinions little mind.

(and as Gridlore says, after the eventual fiasco that was T4, G:Traveller *was* a rescue of sorts).
