Mark:Regarding your adventure, I can eaisly work with you to drop the OTU-specific components and we can release your adventure in a generic setting that could eaisly be adapted to play in the OTU or someone else's ATU. No problems there. I definitely want to see your work get out there.Bear in mind that certain elements of the OTU (such as certain alien races and the UWPs) are already part of the Open Game Content through Traveller T20, and that can't be revoked. We can't use the OTU background, as the background hasn't been released as Open Game Content, but we can mention the alien races that have been released through QLI's work.In regards to what I'll be releasing for Samardan Press, I am currently working on a frontier sector on the edge of the human-dominated Dracosian Republic. There are a number of other polities in the sector that resemble in some regards a microcosm of classic tropes common to many sci-fi universes, including the OTU. There's a warrior society, a race of psionic humans, several smaller non-human polities to visit and interact with, and more. The average TL doesn't hit higher than TL13, but there's a xenophobic culture with TL15-ish, and a background that supports ruins with extreme TLs. I wanted to create a setting where one could more eaisly use material from other Traveller sources, and which would allow gamers to use the material in their own Traveller games.I am considering releasing a quadrant of the Azri Drakara sector as a preview in the next issue of Stellar Reaches. I'll try to give more details later, if it will help. In the meantime, if you have any specific questions, please feel free to ask.With Regards,Flynn

Hi Flynn,My preference would be to cotiunne to publish the Empty Quarter sector and the rest of the OTU under the Fair use Policy, making it clear that there is no intention to support the Mongoose Traveller rules set.That way Stellar Reaches could cotiunne to produce material for the Traveller community.Those using the Mongoose Traveller rules may have to do some convertion, but I think that is a small price to pay for the cotiunned production of Stellar Reaches and it's outstanding contribution to the Traveller community.Best regards,Ewan
