Please source the claim that there are issues of Traveller Chronicle greater than #13.

Swords of the Knight Publications went out of business following the publication of Chronicle #13. Howard Hale stated his intention to take over the publication of the magazine with #14 in November, 1997. Nowhere has any record of publication after that.

The original claim of 21 issues of Traveller Chronicle came from the original Knight of the Sword publications website (http://members.aol.com/swrdknght now long gone). It was never verified anywhere else. Do you have a public posting of your above claim? I'll fix the text on the page, but I'd love to add a link to the above statement.

What looks like a final Sword of the Knight web page can be found here: http://web.archive.org/web/19990203082705/http://members.aol.com/swrdknght/

The web page retrieval date is January 1999. It says: "The Traveller Chronicle will be taken over by Harold Hale who will honor all outstanding subscriptions."

And: "Info on the latest TC, #13:

   Sent to the printers: 3 December 1997 
   Shipped to subscribers: 31 December 1997 
   Shipped to distributors: 12 January 1998"

The editorial in #13 is written by "HDH", who is "Harold D. Hale". It says:

"Speaking of a little late (OK way late), this issue #13, should have been produced back in May. For a variety of reasons it has instead become the September issue. Plans are at this point to come out with another issue in November (#14), and then get back on schedule starting in January (#15)."

The Way Back machine doesn't have any more archives of the website until 2002, at which point it disappeared. That most likely means that there weren't any additional updates over that period. --ShannonA 03:40, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
