      A bit of trivia: a few years ago I was in discussions with the guy
      who was the executive producer of the D&D movie (via his
      production/publication house, Sweet Pea) to buy the computer game
      rights to Traveller. Even then he was pretty "Hollywood", so it
      didn't surprise me to see him behind the D&D movie. When I saw that
      that movie had actually been made and was coming out, I waited to
      see what sort of effect it would have on the popular culture. The
      answer, of course, was zero, or maybe less than zero. It sure
      didn't do gaming any favors. (OTOH, I do still hold our hopes for
      the LOTR movies doing for fantasy and gaming what Star Wars did for
      science fiction back in the mid-seventies.)
      
      Oh, one reason I didn't pick up the Traveller rights is because the
      audience was about 10,000 to 15,000 people, and that was being
      generous. Even with the prevalence of computer gamers amongst that
      crowd, it didn't end up looking like a good deal. I'm kind of sorry
      sometimes, as I'd love to make computer/online Trav games, but as a
      business decision the appeal from paper gaming has almost entirely
      vanished.
