Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

It's safe to say I am a fan of Allston's. I know Strike Force is held in pretty wide regard and I would love to read it myself but prices for a used copy are beyond stupid.

I don't own any Hero or Champions products (except the Interlock one, new Millenium?) so it's nice that they're aiming for multiple systems.

As long as it's the real deal I will want this.  Been looking for an affordable copy for ages. Yet to find one.  Aftermarket prices are ridiculously high.

As to whether it's the "real deal"...well, it's nice that they are doing it for the sake of his legacy. But unless he had a bunch of nicely organised notes all ready to be cleaned up and published, not really sure of the added value of this compared to the original version.

Alan Varney said Alston told him he had enough Strike Force material to fill 8-10 volumes.

Other than the aforementioned point that prices for an original are beyond stupid. ;)
