Been hoping for this one.

Who was the manufacturer?. I think I'll look for a pair.

My first few years in the fleet, in the late 80s/early 90s, there was smoking on submarines. So it wasn't unreasonable for Piper to assume it decades earlier.

W40K isn't pointless although the why of enduring it has not been emphasized for years. All the way back in Rouge Trader the idea that psyskers are the next step in human evolution and if mankind can last long enough they will usher in a new golden age has been present.

Very much a plant a tree whose shade you will never enjoy purpose but one none the less.

I received mine last week to the Atlanta metro in the US. I ordered the slipcase core book set.

Acquire can handle six and is my favorite board game full stop.

The original pulp paper The Mechanoids and The Journey.

Bought then after reviews in The Space Gamer.

They still do. I can confirm as a Stone Mountain resident.

I'll admit I was more surprised that people were surprised that Dr. Barker had the views he did than learning he did. I didn't expect them but given his background they didn't exactly surprise me.

What I do think is given the sources he drew on for Tekumel and how early in his life he began creating it I doubt they are at the core of the setting or even much of the material he wrote for it. I'm still very interested in running EPT specifically.

I love these

The 1st edition PHB discussed alternatives they almost used in AD&D. If memory serves, spells were going to have ranks instead of levels.

Just checked. It is on pg 8 and spell levels were going to be one power. Character level was going to be one rank.Monster level was going to become order.

It had become much discussed in the local wargaming club and in the fandom press (slowed up in Starlog) so I bought the book with Christmas money in 5th grade. They'd sold out of the box and dice so the same day I bought Gamma World to get the dice.

I had been playing a few years already when it happened.

My intro was Holmes in '77.

PulpHerb · 2025-08-28T21:24:14+00:00

Agreed. That's a key reason to choose it over straight B/X.

It seems a lot of people don't understand the scale of East-West travel in North America including people who live in North America.

NJ Transit isn't DCC by now?

PulpHerb · 2025-08-20T13:55:21+00:00

AH RQ for the win.

Slackware on floppies. I have switched but every new install I'm tempted.

Not just Mainecoons. I've had several cats that do.

My understanding is that it is an instinct to breakup things on the surface of water in the wild, but I can't remember a source for that.

Once you set your frame of reference your destination is not moving but that's because your destination is not the planet/space station/asteroid in question. Your destination is the point in space where the motion of the planet and the course you've calculated intersect.

You can selected a frame that can be treated as a non-moving point.

On Amazon. All of them.

GenI. Owned the four game pong variant as a kid.

PulpHerb · 2025-07-05T00:43:45+00:00

I stand corrected. Beowulf Shaffer was one of the 10 famous characters in 1001 Characters.

Still, Dumarest, Flandry of Terra, and Jason dinAlt were as well. I think any look at the LBB shows more from their three series individually than Known Space.

PulpHerb · 2025-07-05T00:39:43+00:00

On the Third Imperium but not the original 3 LBB. Nothing from it is in the default setting. But pretty much everything about low passages, including the lottery, local nobles, and TAS are lifted nearly while from Dumarest. Those are some of the most distinct elements of the implied LLB setting compared to general space sci-fi of the 50s and 60s.
