[QUOTE="Swanosaurus, post: 9288127, member: 7044220"] Great interview! I wasn't aware that Mongoose is such an awesome company ... I own a few Traveller books and really like the system, though I must confess that the setting is just a tad to traditional for me. So it's good news that they're not only doing Pioneer (which sounds really interesting, but probably to science-heavy for me), but also a new far future setting. I'm really hoping for some conceptually far-out space opera that reflects current literature by people like Arkady Martinez or Ann Leckie. (I suspect it won't be any flavour of space fantasy, since they have that covered with Shield Maidens.) Just a note on the freelancer thing: I totally get that they want people already invested in their lines. But I also understand freelancers who maybe just want to dive into something new, but before making the huge investment to learn all about the Traveller setting, want to make sure that it's actually something that they will be able to write for. In terms of overall quality and consistency, though, I guess Mongoose is doing the right thing. Still, I love following RPG authors whose work I enjoy dipping their toes in different systems.
