Terran Trade Authority is to be resurrected

Now there's a man who likes a fresh desktop!
17th July? I think after a wait of over 20 years, a few extra days isn't such a big deal.
 
You're doing a great job of capturing the look & feel of the original art. In fact, that might be a fun competition: guess which are new and which are old.
 
Actually, we'd discussed doing some of them as real paintings - you know, paints, brushes, real old school. Now that would make it pretty tough to tell! I've always been a real fan of that style of work, and to be actually doing it is a dream come true.
 
I just saw this thread, so pardon me while my jaw drops a few inches...

I was weened on the Stewart Cowley books. :D

I will look into this most dutifully. Thanks for the link!!!
 
Glad to be, Adrian


I'd never dreamt that this venue would see a resurrection. Interesting interpretations. Very good stuff. I look forward to the finished products

I'm going to be a little evil here. The Model T Ford is in the picture because, IIRC, it was originally artwork for 'When Worlds Collide'; the 'Sentinel' is a depiction of one of the two Arks lifting into space.

The book was set in the 1930s; hence the Model T Ford.

I do believe you're right. I'm sure I've got a copy kicking around somewhere. </font>[/QUOTE]Touche. Exactly. Who wants a codification of "The City Ships of Alpha" replete with social hierarchy descriptions and anatomy of the citizens? Not I


It's left up to the future authors who run their own adventures. Myself, I'm just glad to see this magnificent realm come back to life. I truly mean that.
 
I'm reliably informed that the book is now in a warehouse in Atlanta so it should only be a matter of days before it's on the shelves... in the meantime, while we await it's arrival, how about an image of the Battleship Umberto, from GSB?

Umberto at Antares

Enjoy!
 
Nice to see that man's obsession with phallic symbols when displaying power hasn't changed in a few hundred years ;)

But it's a nice pic
 
Hi everyone,
Sorry I've dropped off the face of the Earth lately, but things have been busy. Here's the scoop on the problems finding the book:
Basically, the big chains (Borders and B&N) vastly, vastly under-ordered the book... despite the fact that they promised they wouldn't and encouraged us to encourage you all to go to them for the book! Distribution networks are regional, which means there have been a tiny number of books to fill a huge amount of orders.
Reorders are underway. The book is in print and lots of copies remain at the warehouse. However, there's a bit of a bottleneck which is slowing things down- the big distributors only re-order once a month.
As for Amazon... we're still trying to figure out what happened with them.
If you don't want to wait any longer, Morrigan Press now has copies in stock and you can order from them directly, with special super-low shipping costs for North America! www.morriganrpg.com
Another thing you might try is your local indy bookseller, since their distributors didn't under-order...
In any case, it's been frustrating for me as well... my book has been out for weeks and I haven't seen a copy yet!
We offer our sincere apologies and thank you all who have waited so patiently. It's coming, we promise.
 
Edits finished- look for the electronic version in a couple of weeks. I'll have more info as it becomes available.
