Let me just check: "GDW" were the "official" Traveller people, "DGP" were the "fan" producers?

Ouch....

Hmm, the chances of me going bust and having anyone acquire the rights to anything I've written thereby are quite low.

But it does make me wonder, half-way seriously, if I ought to slap a section in my will making it quite clear who gets copyright on anything Gloranthan I've written in case I roll a fumble on my "drive to work" some day? More important for those who write more, of course, but maybe....?
