I do have the 1248 PDFs as well.

Another question if you don't mind. Which of TNE books contains information on regressing worlds post virus? As I really like the Reavers' Deep section of space I might start my own PbEM in that area. Or has someone already done the regressed UPPs for that sector?

Cheers,

Brett.

Brett,
I'm actually in DED's game. Playing Vargr are always fun.

IIRC the world regression stuff is in the main book. I'd guess that some one has collapsed Reavers Deep.

One thing that is worth looking at if you're doing TNE is the Hard Times supplement. That is sort of the build up to TNE and actually can be more fun to play than TNE. You have the devastation and political fragmentation of the Final War without having Virus about.

I'd always thought it would be fun to do a PbEM based on the adventure in the Vampire Fleets book.

Give me a yell off list.

Matt

As it's so late in the campaign, there aren't any openings. There would be too much of a learning curve to bring someone on board now.

It's just not possible for my local group of 40 year old players to meet in person on any regular basis /and/ get anything accomplished. Besides, PBEM has enabled me to grab players from other states and countries!

Hi DED,

Is it possible to have a look at your second game, and maybe play a character?

Cheers,

Brett.

I had 9 subsectors on the RD / Daibei border collapsed with writeups  for most of the worlds on a website but evidently my ISP decided to destroy my site and I lost my electronic backups a while back.

I beleive that the book that detailed collapsing worlds was "World Tamers Handbook", iirc...

Derek, Quite A loss, I'm sorry that you did all that work. Just to have "Virus" destroy all the worlds you created.
