lastly, a thought is required as to how to take some initial steps to turning traveller, presently a chaotic mish-mash of disparate grognardian (word?) methods, into a tightly organized spectator sport. may I suggest cd's with anime short stories as a start. the japanese studios produce prodigious amounts of product and seem to be always on the look-out for new themes. a series of coherent traveller short stories might catch their interest. so, instead of selling just a game setting and a set of game rules, the new customer could also find in his game package a cd with a traveller story to spark his interest and let him see, graphically and in detail, exactly what it is that he's playing. hey, it might even be better than what he's playing. this could easily be expanded. an entire series of adventures, one leading to the next, each backed by an anime short-story, one leading to the next, would interest both consumers and spectators and could easily snowball into something big.
marc, hunter, et al, what do you say? Mr. Martin J. Dougherty, how would you like to launch 1248, not just as a game, but also as a short-story series on cd?
