Yeah, I am surprised that this was not included in any other reprints. I seem to remember this being a pretty high quality product. Are these the only items from the pre-MT line to not see FFE reprints?
This is probably off-topic, but ...
These are the items that have not been Reprinted, AFAIK:
- Spinward Marches Campaign
- Atlas of the Imperium
- Alien Realms
- Tarsus
- Beltstrike
- The Traveller Adventure
The first five have been declared as being the contents of the Classic Traveller Modules Reprint. The Modules Reprint was one of the Reprint volumes listed back in the old announcement when the Reprint series was started, but has never been actually produced, nor even been scheduled to be produced. (I
really wish he would publish it.)
He has bandied about the idea of publishing a hardbound volume containing The Traveller Book and The Traveller Adventure, but he hasn't gone anywhere with that idea, either.
(The third presentation of the CT rules set, Starter Traveller, has never been mentioned for Reprint.)
Finally, MWM has also mentioned the idea of doing a Second Survey. This would include all of the sectors from AotI, but would include full UWPs (presumably MT-style full UWPs) and world names. He went as far as to announce that it would be released at the same time as the third JTAS volume, but then backed off that.
I have no idea what MWM's current plans for the Reprints are. I get the impression that the Reprints have fallen between the cracks now that T5 is sucking up his attentions, but that is only an impression. No one has any hard info on his Reprint plans, and he isn't talking.
Personally, I am hoping he will produce the Modules Reprint soon to help generate some more money for his T5 effort. It should be as easy as the Alien Reprints, and easier than JTAS and Games. But I am probably alone in that hope.
