He's not a striker anymore, at his age he should be using his experience further back setting up the shots for the bright young things.

Re: Elite

Once one becomes Elite, is there any point playing on? Apart for the overwhelming wave of nostalgic joy. No, no there isn't. If you want something where total victory is intransigent and people keep moving the goal posts so you can never really actually win I would suggest the Witcher 3 or possibly...

Re: Visiting the Prodogal Suns Systems

Ah yes, I see. I wasn't involved in any naming on Clym's vector maps - before my time. That was one of the most interesting times in oohistory. I was partially involved in it. I was the person who came up with the space ways. A great moment, deeply appreciated. For it made it more, much more. :) Yo...

Re: Screenshots

Re: According to my records...

A "freebie" from a man for whom penmanship is now for all intent and purpose the spade by which he tills the earth, whatever the size of said offering... Should be treated as the heartfelt gift that it is. He charges for this usually people! (and quite right too). All humanity has the righ...

Re: According to my records...

For you possibly Master D. For my part I have an 80's "We can't be assed to make this make sense" 30+ year lying fallow screw up to fix. That's going to take at least 2 more books to hammer in any logical sense. Although your ground work has been instrumental. I stand on the shoulders of g...

Watch out for the Tax Man! (of course you maybe writing from a place with nice free tax laws in relation to "extra curricular activities"). Still it would be remiss of me not to say: Watch your six commander!

OK, and (I know I'm going to regret this) I hate tax; what precisely is the law that's come in that's taken you out?

Re: Forgotten Futures Shareware Registration Ending

Since I know that a few people here are into RPGs: A rather sad moment - after 23 years I've decided to end the Forgotten Futures RPG in its current shareware form. Since I'm now well overdue for the next release, and European tax law has changed to make shareware much less viable, I'm contacting a...

Re: The chronicles of Shulth - Apocrypha

I have some initial drafts of cover art and someone to proof read the first book. The second book is 15 chapters in but I want to make sure it "makes sense" before I start releasing chapters. Book 2 is coming make no mistake.
