Had a hard time choosing between posting here or in Random Static, because this is totally non-substantive but is in fact Traveller related.. but I am jumping for joy and nobody would understand why as well as you people here.

I have been at home sick in bed for just about a month now, have gotten in a few afternoons at the office but mostly not worth the effort, so have had a lot of time on my hands and trying to get something worthwhile done on my long-years-neglected Traveller campaigns, especially now that my two sons are interested in playing.

Have been moping much of that time because when I started to get my old Traveller stuff together, I could not find my original Little Black Box w the LBBs in it (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). I knew exactly where I had seen it last, but that was some years ago. Several times over the past few weeks I have gone back up there to search, but have always been frustrated.

Finally this afternoon I was back up there again (actually trying to find my copy of The Mote in God's Eye to look up details on Pournelle's fusion-photon drives) and I dug just that extra bit deeper into the stacks and found my Black Box, near where I had looked before but concealed by some magazines that had flopped down over it.

That's all, no big deal, just bubbling w "Happy" and wanted to share. :)

(Now if only I could figure out where my old 2300AD stuff is hiding...)
 
Well, you're going to have to look in a third dimension for 2300, and in 7.7ly increments. ;)

:rofl:


Actually should have those replaced soon in PDF form on CD-ROM from FFE. Had email from Marc Miller a few days ago that he had mailed it; now just need a day when I am able to drive, or feeling well enough to have my wife or one of my boys drive me to town to check my PO Box!

Get well!

(If I ever find my LBBs 1-3 and the boxed I had, afraid their condition would be non-salvageable, but then the 4 LBBs I still have are in remarkably good condition...)

P.S. Did you find The Mote? Thought I had it right handy, but think I gave it away (Macroscope - a quite different read - is in its place...)
 
Nice! I still have my box, LBB's and even the two d6's plus understanding traveller and a GDW catalog I got when I wrote GDW a note asking about first blood rule in '81 or '82, lost the note though. I had it stored in a box of games at my parent's house, I didn't think they would keep it but they did.
