Oddly enough, I remember the content, not the cover. Usually, I see the cover and then remember details of the content. In this case reading the article I remember the issue. I found the cover... easy to forget I guess. Some good material in the issue.

Andy Slack's Traveller material was great. The quality of WD articles was good, but And Slacks Traveller articles made the magazine for me.

One thing I realized reading this thread... you people are (almost) all kind of young :D I'm 66 (67 in 3 months) by the way.

I was a voracious reader before I ran into D&D (in 1974). Moorcock, Anderson, Leiber, Vance, and Burroughs were already in my head. I read Tolkien in my Freshman year of high school (1972-1973), and first played D&D in the summer of 1974. I think Tolkien influenced my view of certain monsters...

Thank you for the clarification. So, any word on when the next book comes out :D

I expect errata, over spelling etc. I gather they were making adjustments to two classes in the core book. Not unusual, but annoying if you already bought it. My main questions are how long until the next printing of the core book (and will it have the errata in it) and how soon until their next...

So, how long to the next book and if they are doing errata for their core book how long until it's incorporated into the PDF and print core books. I know errata is an expected thing these days but this is pretty quick, and I'd be annoyed if I bought the dead tree core book... and I was just...

Old? Youngsters. I guess it's all relative.

Except she appears to have really liked her job(s) at WotC. Or she's terminally happy and positive :D

She's got some hair over part of the ear. I prefer my D&D a bit more medieval, but I know that's out of vogue right now.

Condolences to his family and friends. He did good work. I'm not saying he died young (he was my age) but I wonder why.

Just retired in 2024 and afterschool RPG / game clubs aren't what they used to be. Long reads are not what these kids want to do, even for something they enjoy.

Yours and mine both. My original Traveller stuff is boxed. I'll try and find my copy of Leviathan when I get the chance. Edit Bob Mcwilliams, Albie Fiore, Ian Livingston, and Andy Slack. GD people popular in White Dwarf.

I re-classed the Broadsword as a frigate. I did a 12,500 ton version of the Kinunir class as a frontier cruiser. Leviathan was definitely a superior product. The ship was well done, including even back-up drives to its main drives, and was well suited to being a merchant ship past the...

It was referred to as a "Battlecruiser" in the module. The module was done before High Guard when 5,000 L-Hyd tons displacement was the maximum ship size. It was 1,250 tone displacement iirc. By High Guard standards it's an escort class ship. A colonial "cruiser", not a frontline warship.
