Just Joined the Ranks ...

... of the lucky people, Browncoats and just ordinary fans, who now own the series Firefly. I bought the entire series on DVD last night. Cost me, but this is definitely something for which I have found a use for money.

Are you sure Joss Whedon never played Marc Miller / GDW's Traveller at all? Because I get the most uncannily nostalgic vibe from it all ...

nyghtshayde, as long as I've got this thing on DVD, you'll never be far away from my thoughts. I mean, you never were far away from my thoughts, but ... you see my point. :)

And a belated Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, hon.

...we now own your soul. *evil grin* Now that you have the series, you have a chance to watch it all and get attached to the characters. Then see the movie. :D

Seriously, have you started watching it yet? Which characters do you like so far? It's hard for me to have a favorite...but I do know my least favorite is Inara and I still like her to a degree.

Don't know if Joss ever played Traveller, but we're playing it now and it's a Firefly-esque type thing. Game setting, of course, but personalities are very Firefly. Though Jeff and I will eventually get the actual Firefly roleplaying game book.

One thing ...

As originally written, Traveller never had a prostitute character class (Rogues, yes. Whores, no), and didn't even mention sex, let alone concepts such as marriage, dating, families, etc. It might have been the influence of the Puritanical press in the late Seventies / early Eighties. Still, shame Marc Miller never got the idea to write a Traveller supplement on the subject of gettin' it on Out There.

It'd have been a must-have book.
