Since this is already making the rounds over on Reddit, I'm taking the
liberty to forward Marc Miller's email here:

Subject: Upon The Occasion of the Emperor's Birthday, 2024.
From: Citizens of the Imperium <noreply@community.forum>

[This particular announcement comes to you as a member of COTI.]
[By the way, the Emperor's Birthday is August 29, (or 241-2024 in the
Imperial notation). ]

Some years ago, fellow game designer Greg Stafford died, and I was
impressed that his company announced almost immediately that he had
a succession plan in place, and that his legacy and his designs would
live on.

His example was an inspiration to me, and I resolved to emulate him. It
would be a terrible loss if Traveller were encumbered, or somehow
restricted in its outreach to present and future fans.

With that in mind, I have worked to make Traveller an asset to
science-fiction role-players... with our user-friendly Fair Use policies,
with the Travellers’ Aid Society programs, with the Cepheus editions
of Traveller, and with Mongoose as a primary publisher of their edition
of Traveller.

Over the past several years, I have turned over more and more
responsibilities to Mongoose, and I have collaborated actively with them
as they work to realize the Traveller dream. Earlier this year I passed
full ownership of Traveller to Mongoose in order to secure its future.

With that in mind, I point out that, following the example of Greg
Stafford, I have a succession plan in place: day-to-day decisions about
the Traveller game system are already being made by Mongoose Publishing
(with my co-operation and approval), and if anything should happen to me,
they would carry on with my full knowledge and blessing.

That doesn’t stop me from speaking my mind: expressing opinions about
Traveller, writing stories and lore, and even revealing secrets about
the universe.

But Traveller is in good hands, now, and far into the far future.

And I thank you for your (continuing) support for Traveller.

Marc
