From the Editor

As anybody knows, sometimes Life just won’t coöperate. This summer (Northern Hemisphere alignment) was just one of those summers where my life—and that of a lot of other people—was simply lurching from crisis to crisis. In my case, there was a disaster of failed maintenance at my day job that was followed by the worldwide Cloudstrike disaster, and somewhere in all that, my mother had an accident that required a visit to the hospital and some pinning of bones, followed by physical therapy and lots of doctors’ appointments—so all in all, managing to get this issue out only a week later than I’d planned is an achievement.

That said, thank you to everyone that stepped up and sent in material; Freelance Traveller is about the community and its work, not the Editor and his ego (yes, I have one; it’s the only thing that keeps me from being a floor mat at the day job).

(I have some thinking to do. Next issue, the blather in this space will be about the Mongoose acquisition of the Traveller IP.)
