The 3rd sector published

By the way, does everyone sort of agree that a publication date of 1984 for Atlas of the Imperium means that every, still canonical sector was published third?

I half expected that to be the quick & only response when I started this thread.

While we are on a "truth-in-advertising" kick, I don't think either of those titles were done by JG. I believe The Beyond was done by Paranoia Press, and I am pretty sure Lee's Guide was done by Gamelords. (While I have never seen Beyond, I have Lee's Guide. I completely agree with your assessment of it.)

Correct.

If you can get past the awful (argh!!! truely AWFUL) typesetting the Gamelords stuff is pretty much top notch. Naturally, as much of it is Keith Bros. material.

The Paranoia Press material isn't nearly as excremental as the Judges Guild material and I'm not certian whether it was ever 'de-canonized' as such - it's not covered in AOTI and shares some background with the Far Frontiers sector which was the later era FASA playground.

Far Frontiers is well fleshed out in some of the earlier Traveller Chronicle issues.

Also Larson, I suspect you are thinking of Reavers Deep, not Dark Nebula.. which is next door. Between FASA's last gasp 'Far Traveller' product (2 issues), the Gamelords material and some otherwise unpublished stuff available from Cargonaut Press, there's actually a fair bit of Reaver's Deep material in existance.

As to the original question... if we're talking third GDW published sector... I'd have to give the nod to Gvurredon in AM 3 as well. I'd hardly call Memory Alpha 'published' at that time.


eek! That was waaaay too much information... :>
