Triple The Value

-It occurs to me that if the creators of the RPG Traveller had named one of their Sword Worlds "Terminus Est", they could have achieved a triple literary homage . . .

RIGHT but GURPS Traveller: The Spinward Marches came out a few years later.

The problem is that all the Sword Worlds were already named, and the book may not have been approved with an "extra" or renamed Sword World. If someone had thought of it during the production of the specific Sword Worlds book, it might have been slipped in somewhere among the new, more detailed place names.

Of course, of course. Hard to meddle with established intellectual property.
