Behind the Claw Questions

Well, after those . . .

There's the Sword Worlds book, which will break more new ground than you might think. There's the Aldeberan Sector book, which will be a close look at the Solomani Confederation and the first fully-developed sector for the GT line outside the Imperium.

And there will be the Interstellar Wars book, which I suspect will surprise a lot of people if we're successful. Sure, we have a certain amount of prior canon to work from, but the goal is to present a pretty intense (and somewhat original) space-opera setting in that context. Transhuman Space it won't be, but I think we can bring some of the same fresh approach to it.

I have some other concepts seeking authors, but it will be a while before I can say anything more definite about them. Certainly one of the challenges we face is that we have covered pretty much all the ground that Classic Traveller once covered. From here on out we have to do new things.
 
Just doing my monthly bump to see if MJD and NAF had a chance to come up with anything yet ...

BTW, if I need to shut up and just drop it, tell me. I am assuming you just haven't had a chance to do it and a monthly (or so) reminder is OK as you might otherwise forget about it.
 
Just refound this thread while looking for something else.

And, while my "bumps" usually result in absolutely nothing, I figured I would ask again.

Is there any chance for either of you to sketch out what you had in mind when you introduced the various plot threads to Behind the Claw? While I am most interested in the Moudray and Darrain threads, I would love to hear about any of the others you want to talk about.

(Though it is obvious that the GT editors changed tacks on the Darrians. Humaniti knocked them back into place pretty effectively.)
 
Couldn't the Sword Worlds have been described better. BTW makes them sound more like "human Aslans" -except it doesn't dismiss Aslan culture so conteptuously.

Yes, and I hope Paul, Robert and I have managed to do just that. :D

(Ps. Far as I'm concerned you have. And then some.)
