No, no, fair enough. They are distinctive amidst a wodge of paper that is mostly very familiar! It was interesting to stop and think for a moment about where they would fit in.

They go down well, pun intended, when Derrick J brings them to the con.

I've got a short addenda to the bibliography of a couple of things that didn't quite make it in for various reasons, and they've all got their own entries now. I'll make that available soonish hopefully. Either in the bib itself or as some kind of additional file - depending on what Andy is up for. Just a couple more things to bung in. Perhaps this weekend while I wait up for the Superbowl.

cheers!

Afternoon from WA. Timothy,

The question was not serious and I only noticed them after I had compared the shelf details with the photo. As a submarine sailor that spent time shuttling between the US and the forward deployed tender at Holy Loch the bottles would be something I would notice.

Hello Timothy,

Nice looking shelf and collection. Which version of Traveller do the bottles belong to?

LOL!

(At least I assume this isn't a serious question!)

But let's think about it a moment. The earliest was the Dream and was post Mongoose 1st edition, so could reasonably be any version save MgT2 and Cepheus Engine.

The Lift Infantry and IISS logoes have been with us since classic so I would say anything but TNE (gone by then?) and maybe T4 - can't recall when those organizations were formed.

The Aledon Pale feels more like it would be MegaTraveller.

But technically, TravCon refs are supposed to conform to the 'current' (at the time) Traveller rules, so I guess they would all be MgT1 by date.

I just *knew* if I posted that pic, it would be the beer bottles that would garner attention! :-)
