My books will never be on EBay.
First off, my books will never go on EBay. Not in my lifetime. Traveller was something that, while I have not played much in ages, has always had a special place in my experiences and memories. I am proud and glad to be a part of this latest incarnation.
Second, for those who are abandoning T5, coming to the T5 forum and voicing the anger, and complaints beyond a certain point is not helpful. It might even harm any attempts at sales if you decide to recoup what you see as a loss. Informing your target market how little the product rates in your eyes, might convince the very folks you are trying to sell to, to not buy what you are selling.
Third, and this is my opinion, I am not blind to the many deficiencies and challenges presented, but I also recognize the monumental undertaking the book is. How much good material there is, and how overwhelming a project must have been for Marc.
The glass is always full, part air and part water. I am glad to have the glass. And if there are some omissions in a 600 page book that describes how to create an entire universe, well, I am not seeing it as sufficient cause to give up. It could use better organization, granted, but again, considering the magnitude of the task, it is not sufficient for me to give up on it.
Fourth: Baron Ector. It is better that the patents go to folks for whom it means something to, than not. How you got it, can make for an interesting backstory.
