Hi all,
I've been over on the CotI boards these last two days (for the first
time in 8 years) to try and find an answer to my question regarding the
two vargr states: Ruler of Five and Opposition Alliance. I never even
got around to posting my question there, which means I'm going to have
to go back. Crap!
The hate for TNE lives on. Oh my goodness, there are active threads
(ACTIVE!) with subjects like "Why do you hate Virus?". And people are
attacking it for all the same old reasons. One guy who was just
discovering the setting said that TNE didn't /feel/ like Traveller.
Another guy complained that though TNE was bad, Martin's 1248 setting
made things worse. And on and on.It was a flood. I had to fight the urge
to respond to these people or drown.
I checked the TNE section. No one had posted anything there in 75+ days.
We haven't had much activity here either. SFRPG has been quiet too. So
has everyone moved on from TNE?
I heard a rumor over on CotI that T5 will have a new setting where the
timeline is advanced to the year 1900. It's far enough out that Charted
Space should be sufficiently recovered from the Rebellion, Collapse,
Empress Wave, and Black Curtain War. The tech level max is to be bumped
up to 20. Sentient AIs and cybernetics will be embraced (someone claimed
that it's in the T5 rules). I admit that I'm intrigued, but I have to
wonder if it will be enough to appease the haters. They'll finally have
their shiny new 4th Imperium and all will be as it was in 1105, except
with more stuff. Will they finally shut up and move on?
