Digest Group Publications
Digest Group Publications (DGP) was started in 1985 by Joe Fugate, Gary L. Thomas, Nancy Parker and others. DGP was one of the many Traveller licensees, producing material under license from Game Designers Workshop. During this initial period DGP published three books and 10 issues of the Traveller Digest. Writing credits for Joe Fugate include Book 8: Robots.
In 1986, GDW used the growing writing talents of DGP, with Joe Fugate as lead developer to produce MegaTraveller. In addition to writing and editing books for GDW, DGP continued to produce additional material for MegaTraveller under their own imprint.
With the March 1993 issue of the MegaTraveller Journal (#4) DGP officially ceased supporting Traveller. They cited the release of Traveller the New Era, the loss of Marc Miller's active involvement with the design of the game and the fact that DGP could not control the direction of Traveller's development as reasons. Eventually DGP ceased trading, and the DGP name and properties were purchased by Roger Sanger.
