The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Back when I was in college I submitted an article called "A Guide to Undercover Missions on Low-Tech Planets" to the now-defunct Traveller Magazine. They paid me but never published it.

But now it's in Traveller Compendium 3!

So that makes me happy. My years of playing sci-fi RPGs because I was too hipster for Dungeon & Dragons have been totally worth it.

unfortunately, I cant link you to it or tell you what it was about, because I sold the rights to it when they bought the article from me. But, it involved a gay biologist who asks the player to rescue his kidnapped husband from a medieval kingdom, and to my surprise they didn't change it to a kidnapped wife. So that's a step forward for progressivism.
