Subject: [TML] Hmmm... There's a flagpole. I wonder, let me run this idea up it...

I'm sure many of us are fantasy fans, if perhaps less so than SF or Space
Opera. I'm equally sure that many of us have read at least part of the
Thieves' World series, and know the genesis of that project.

So...

Suppose I were to propose a similar project for Freelance Traveller: You
come up with a character, and you write stories. After other characters
appear, you can use them in your stories, but you can't kill them (unless
you own the character) or do permanent physical damage (unless the
character's owner allows). More-or-less everything would happen in a city,
general TL of 8 (no grav control), but commo, medicine, and computers can
be as high as TL10. The city is the "port city/startown" of a downport that
handles mostly ship's boats or modular cutters coming down from skyside,
with perhaps the occasional scout/courier (Type S) or free trader (Beowulf
or Marava).

1. Who would be interested in participating (and willing to commit the
time to actually write)?

2. How well should the city be defined before getting started?

3. Would people be interested in _reading_ this?
