A few years ago I had a weblog that followed the adventures of a character in the Solomani Rim Sector. The log was written from the character's point of view and I updated it every day. Maybe someone remembers it, it was called Traveller's Log and it followed the adventure of Isis Claybourne.
Anyway, after 6 months of the weblog I got the contract to do GURPS Traveller: Psionics Institutes, and the contract prevented me from writing Traveller related stuff that didn't belong to Steve Jackson Games, so the weblog went on hiatus.
Well, GURPS Traveller: Psionics Institutes is out now (an e23 book from Steve Jackson Games) and I am bringing Isis back to life - in podcast form.
The Traveller's Log podcast is called "The Adventures of Isis". I have recorded the original weblog into podcasts, and I am adding podcasts everyday, so you can get Isis' story as if it is coming in real time.
Looking back, I would have done things differently. The story really gets going after a week (half way through the trip on PARABUS) so don't give up after the first few episodes.
If there is interest, I was thinking about producing a whole new story, and podcast it. I feel like grabbing a merc character and putting him/her through heck - and this time I would start off with a bang.
Anyway, "The Adventures of Isis" is already a few days into the story. It ran 6 months the first time, so will run that long again. It is free, of course, so come on by the website and give it a listen if you like. For those who want to know, I referenced Steve Jackson Game's Traveller's source books, mainly _Rim of Fire_, when writing the story.
Thanks!
