Subject: (3904) A Rifts mailing list

        I know this may not be pertinent to this list (I'm sending this same 
message to three different listserv and/or mailing lists), but I'm thinking 
about starting a Rifts mailing list.  If there's any interest out there, please
E-mail me at the above address.  More information as I get more responses.
        Thanks.

assume now that some of you do know but felt that someone else would tell me .
NO ONE HAS !!!!!!! So I dont care how much email I get about it, if you know
anything at all about this MAIL ME . Dont just sit at your terminals and
shrug and say "Well someone else will tell him" because it wont happen !!!
Enter command or <CR> for more !
CompuServe Mail  


I would just like to stop for a moment during this tirade and point out
that I am on very good terms with the grandfather of the ancients and I
will talk to him unless I get some information fast !!!!!

So if you have anything at all about this LEMMIE KNOW !!!!!

I would also like to point out that I have a level 4 skill in combat
rifleman and am armed with a gauss rifle so DONT FORGET

PS Anyone find my intelligence branch article useful ????

be bought down by a liver transplant from someone with AB- Blood or 
information about the enhanced law enforcer and scientist

- - PS I am a very poor uni student and simply just cannot afford to 
subscribe to challenge magazine . 

- - Also has Journal 3# come out yet ????

Subject: (3906) Barbarian Adventures

        I was thinking about starting my first Traveller campaign on a world
with a TL of 1 or 2.  I.E. a pseudo-medieval fantasy setting.  Technology is 
considered to be magic that only a few can barely understand, etc.  I know its
a typical SciFi plotline, but I thought it would be an interesting twist.  
        My question is: has anyone out there ever GMed a Traveller campaign like
this?  How did it work out?  What did you do to make up for the lack of 
available equipment (I'm thinking about using the AD&D lists for items and 
figuring up stats for them in Traveller).  Any suggestions from anyone?
(Yes, eventually the PCs will enter space the Traveller way...)

Subject: (3907)  Traveller Classics?

(Hopefully this message means that I am starting to awaken from my apparent
winter hibernation...)

We've had two newcomers ask about the wisdom of investing in MegaTraveller
products in the past week.  As a result of this, I've been thinking that
we might want to put together two lists: One of MT product reviews, and one
of classic Traveller products that should be sought by new MT players.

The second category would certainly include things like Book 8: Robots, whose
rules have not yet been translated to MT (and probably will _never_ be),
The Traveller Adventure, and most of the Alien books.  What else would anyone
recommend as a 'must-have'?

Howdy folks,

Anybody got the Weekend Warrior address handy?  I used to have it somewhere
but can't find it.

Thanks,

I don't know about law enforcement, but I do remember seeing errata for
an enhanced scientist/academic career in one of the last issues of the
JTAS before it became Challenge. :(  [Anyone else REALLY miss the JTAS?
Never mind, I already know.]  I haven't looked at the intel ministry
article that was recently posted closely yet -- the closest things in
generation I can think of would be IISS-expanded (Operations Office),
the Intel schools in the expanded-military, and that IRIS article that
was in Challenge way back when.  (Don't ask me for it, I don't have it
either!) :)  

Off on a tangent, has anybody else noticed that since the PBEM started,
traffic on the TML has dropped further and further off?  Are ALL our 
heavy posters busy playing multiple characters? :)

Alas, neither of those will do me any good. I've had *very* mixed
results when trying to move unix source to the PC. (mostly because I am
*not* a C programmer, Pascal I could handle).

So I vote for PC compatible, with a "stock" ANSI driver loaded.

Subject: (3911) re: Barbarian Adventures

I've never run anything like what your trying to do, but I like the idea (I can
think of one GURPS module, "Unnight", that deals with a colony that has been
seperated for so long, and got off to such a bad start, it degenerated to a
TL2-3 society, except for a few, called the 'wizards', who possess some higher
technology). There was an issue of Challenge that had an article dealing with
using drugs, psionics, and other things to make things appear as if they were
done by magic. Can't remember the number offhand, but it was a special Horror
Issue.
