[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 7961609, member: 6779310"] One of the tasks Marc asked some inner circle folk was to watch the playtest for "this contradicts the OTU" elements in the MGT 2E playtest. About 1 page worth of stuff got sent to Marc by myself and my co-admin of COTI, Cryton, and after us being told by Matthew that he wasn't going to change back to the canon formulae; he did change back, apparently after a call from Marc. Robject, as well, was watching, and Don was more directly involved. My slightly more inside view is that the OTU focus change has less to do with Marc and a lot more to do with the low adoption of the TAS license (which is modeled after the DM's Guild license). The best known Traveller 3PP's took their settings to CE because they were unwilling to give up their ownership. Further, Marc has said that CE is Traveller enough to be supported on the official Traveller boards; I suggested, and got an explicit yes, for COTI to support CE. CE is mechanically closer to CT than is MGT 1 or MGT 2. The "OTU-ness" of MGT is unchanged - 3I trade dress material is [I]setting [/I]canon; non-dressed has no canon OTU impacts, and rules in either have no canonicity outside the mongoose edition. I don't know if Marc has marked CE as part of the Traveller rules-system on DTRPG. [/QUOTE]
