Very cool, and those extra notes are a great touch and full of nuggets!

I backed T5 and the Fat Trader Kickstart projects. Very good feeling to be assisting Marc get the new ruleset off the ground.

Interesting article and notes. Thanks for posting the link.

Thanks. The greater part of interviews is usually left on the cutting-room floor, and I knew those were likely to be the bits of most interest to Traveller fans.

If my shorthand were faster, there'd be more nuggets, though the primary purpose of journalistic shorthand isn't to write everything, but to begin the filtering process at the outset.

Thank you for posting both the edited and unedited interview. It was interesting to see your little comments and you were brutally honest with your writing.

I also want to thank Marc both for giving this interview and for his generous swag on Kickstarter. It did encourage me to give more and I now have a Christmas present for a few people.

Excellent!

Excellent!

Thanks Andy - and everyone else who's said nice things. Marc gets $294,000 for his affirmation. I get compliments - and I am well content.

I didn't realize the entire amount raised had to be spent on that single project. That's a huge pile. I suppose there's plenty of ways that that sort of cash can be pushed into the core rules and associated bling, though.
