Hello All,
I'll take this as my cue to drop in.
I'm Wayne, owner of Wayne's Books. I've had the pleasure of corresponding with Mr. Nilsen lately, and been just fascinated to read his anecdotes of the last 5 years of GDW. He's kindly allowed me to post these stories on my game reference site.
Most are about -- no surprise -- Traveller: The New Era, my favorite version of Traveller. Each story I've placed near the relevant item (Brilliant Lances, for example). They can be found here:
http://waynesbooks.com/TravellerTheNewEra.html
Also Dark Conspiracy (http://waynesbooks.com/DarkConspiracy.html),
MegaTraveller (http://waynesbooks.com/MegaTraveller.html),
and the never-published Armor 21 follow-on to Twilight 2000 (http://waynesbooks.com/Twilight2000.html#A21).
If you're a 2300AD fan, you probably know about "The Game," a macro-political simulation used to bring the history of the game world up to 2300. Mr. Nilsen has an original, hand-made map that was used in that project. Soon, I'll be posting the photos he took. Very interesting.
