Isn't Marc on this mailer, what does he have to say?

Marc never says anything on these forums.

That is true....BUT he does answer a few selected peoples emails and they could ask him for us and then post his reply here for us.

I was hoping one of them would see and read this, and ask for us.

I have no idea if the red on black Traveller "logo" is registered in any way but would a logo registration also somehow protect the use of the word used in the logo?

Nope. Two different animals.

Or could someone create their own unique RPG and slap the Traveller name on it legally since it isn't trademarked?

If the Word isn't TM'ed that would be possible.

After reading T5, I've concluded it is not for me. Now that it is released, will Mongoose continue to publish Third Imperium and rules stuff for Traveller? I need to make a decision on whether to go with MGT or CT.

As much as I love Traveller, because it has given me hours and hours of enjoyment, and this BBS has helped me keep an even keel for a very tumultuous eight years, it is, in the end, a business.

As I was reminded Mongoose has done some very interesting and welcome things with Traveller. But like T20, when T20 sunsetted so did a lot of Traveller "stuff" with it, or so it appeared to me based on the types of activity I was seeing on this board.

I'm hoping Mongoose will renew their license when the time comes, but in the end it's up to how things sync up with their business model.

It is part of the reason I was concerned for Traveller. Traveller is a niche of a niche entertainment product. Like a good solid sci-fi film it's only going to have limited appeal among a segment of an audience, however strong that appeal may be.

I think it'll stick around.
