The current issueis available from the Freelance Traveller web site, http://www.freelancetraveller.com.From the EditorA week before we released this issueof Freelance Traveller, we realized thatwe had no cover art. So, we posted a messageon the TML and the forums we routinelymonitor, calling an “impendingpanic” over it. The volume of artwork offered was astonishing,and we now have a backlog of several amazingcovers—and much artwork that, while not quitesuitable for covers, is nevertheless quite excellent, andwill be appearing in the Multimedia Gallery. Thankyou to everyone who contributed!This issue represents another first for FreelanceTraveller: David Billinghurst and Dave Redingtonhave agreed to allow their Traveller graphic novel, TheBurrowWolf, to appear in installments in our magazineand on our website. We hope you‟ll enjoy their offering,and that you feel that it‟s a positive contribution toour magazine.Speaking of backlogs, Freelance Traveller has alarge backlog of Traveller products that “need” to bereviewed. There are several reasons that the editordoesn‟t want to have more than one review over hisbyline in any issue, so we‟d appreciate it if some of ourreaders would pick Traveller products—any version,any era, any setting, any publisher—and write reviewsof them for us. We‟d also be interested in contributions—ofany type—to support the Traveller versionsof Babylon 5, Hammer’s Slammers, Judge Dredd,Strontium Dog, Reign of Discordia, and any other publishedTraveller-compatible settings out there.A bit of a warning: Next month, I‟m going to takea bit more space for the From the Editor column, andeditorialize. I don‟t anticipate than anyone is going toactually be offended, but it is different from the normalfluff that appears here. I don‟t plan on making it ahabit, unless you, the loyal readers, actually would preferit. In any case, when I do editorialize, you are specificallyinvited to comment/respond; unless you tell usotherwise, your responses will, at the very least, appearon our website, and selected ones (the best-written, notbased on agreement with the editor) printed in themagazine.1
