I was happy to explain my experiences of doing civilian service in Afghanistan, from which I returned three years ago, and how I afterward readjusted to a mundane life in Sweden. When the interview was over and I had put down the phone, I realized that JRR Tolkien had written a sentence in The Fellowship of the Ring that summarized most of my thoughts on the matter:

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”

I was really pleased to read Marc’s description of how the Traveller designers handled the many racisms (“species-isms”?) that permeate the social structures of their Third Imperium game-cosmos. A clever approach — a boomerang hitting the reader in the neck so to speak — and a praiseworthy twist by a team of progressive Americans who grew up during the Civil Rights struggle.
