SPECIAL NOTICE
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). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Just noticed this while browsing DriveThru:

http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=61580

I've got all the environment books, Lee's Guide, Drexilthar Subsector, Wanted: Adventurers and Startown Liberty.  Every one is a gold mine, and far better than most GDW supplements and modules.

Maybe this means that FarFuture will be able to release the FASA/GameLords Apocrypha CD-ROM soon?
For fuck\'s sake, these are games, people.

And no one gives a fuck about your ignore list.

Agreed. Excellent stuff in those pages.

I hope so.
On weird fantasy: "The Otus/Elmore rule: When adding something new to the campaign, try and imagine how Erol Otus would depict it. If you can, that\'s far enough...it\'s a good idea. If you can picture a Larry Elmore version...it\'s far too mundane and boring, excise immediately." - Kellri, K&K Alehouse

I have a campaign wiki! Check it out!

Received this yesterday and am still going through it. Like all the Classic Trav CD-ROMs, this one has some minor issues (still haven't tested any of the OCRing). So far I've found:

Page 52 of Ascent to Anekthor is corrupted.
Pages 13 & 14 of The Undersea Environment are switched.
The map on page 15 of Drenslaar Quest looks to be cut off at the edges.
Page 43 of Drexilthar Subsector is corrupted (still readable).
Page 43 of Rescue on Galatea is missing (I think it was blank anyway).

The FASA deckplans are presented in reduced form and in multi-page scans. I'm not sure what else they could have done without access to a large flatbed scanner.

Still, this is over 1500 pages of material. The item that's intrigued me the most is the FCI Consumer Guide from FASA...even more equipment for the game, with rules on reliability depending on manufacturer...I just love supps like that.
