Sir, once you have completed the adventure, you _must_ write up an
after-action report like this installment (and include this
installment!) and send it to me for Raconteurs' Rest.

Well, I'll take that as a compliment.

It had occurred to me but whereas I'm *fairly* sure that none of my players hang out on TML, I think at least one looks at Freelance Traveller, so I discarded the idea. Brain futz never let me think of doing *after* we were done. Mainly because that seems a long, long, long way away. (Best estimate would be 18 months!) When do I ever think long term... ;-)

The other snag is, is that that's the first one that's really fired me up to write the details immediately after the event when they still fresh, so my worry now would be producing something for the first four sessions. Although I think I may have reported, considerably more briefly, here on TML. I'll see if I can dig them out before I lose them and scribble down thoughts about what I recall. Argh... so many jobs.

I had planned on some bibliography work today...

... but have slept through most of it. Possibly the effects of CFS after a hard week of lecturing, or maybe I'm still fighting off a cold.

(btw, I don't have a Confession for this coming issue; if you want to

Ah. I did write three I think and something else to send you on your birthday and then promptly forgot and got busy at work...

Sorry about that.

Will dig them out and get them to you today. My wife and daughter are away so I can have the computer (as well as the house) to myself (when I'm awake) but have just been trying to get all the 'experience' rules from all the Traveller eras into a tweet for a pair that were saying there was no such thing. My life's bibliography in 140 characters!

(I think I got pretty much everything into about three tweets.)

thanks for the prompt
