Anyway, all the above was by way of reporting that thanks to my tweets and an email or two live from the convention, several colleagues were intrigued enough to ask if they could try out the adventure. I wasn't sure it would be a good idea as the environment and social interaction and everything would be so different, particularly with newbies to role playing much less Traveller, but I was persuaded. I'm now back in nervous excitement mode as we're going to tackle it tomorrow evening. I've booked a table in a nearby hostelry where we meet for book group, we've found six people for the game including former colleague S who is stretching comfort zones, as well as a couple of others who are actually vaguely familiar with Traveller. I've no idea how it will go but it's been a good motivator to tidy up some of the corners of my document so that it can eventually be submmitted to Andy for - dare I hope? - publication and it will certainly be interesting to compare the experience from the convention with something completely different. And it's a nice escape from work which is sorely needed at present.
