The timing of real-world events sorta wipes out the idea of an Editor's Retrospective; as I'd mentioned to Timothy in an email thread, even my normal writing has 'taken a hit'; stress from the disruption has left my ability to focus ... somewhat impaired ... and I have several articles in process that I just haven't been able to get my hooks back into... I am not, however, opposed to e.g., a Theme Issue if I can get enough material tied to the theme. I have a number of possible themes on my list (see below); I'm willing to entertain additional ideas - but the key is getting the relevant material! I'm also open to other ideas (both for the Theme List below, and for what I should do for Issue 100), so keep them coming! On my List Of Possible Themes: Religion in Traveller Orbital Starports and their Startowns The Yacht The Free Trader (ship and/or 'career') The Cruise (and/or the passenger liner) A Darker Imperium (the iron fist isn't so covered by the velvet glove) Had the potential product not (apparently) died, there would have been a Theme Issue for the release of Traveller: Prime Directive (Star Trek support) ®Traveller is a registered trademark of Far Future Enterprises, 1977-2020.
