G'day Everyone!



The Great Collapsing Hard Disk Disaster of 94

On the 4th of June a realativistic proton from deep within radio galaxy M87 went crashing through my hard disk, wreaking havoc and eventually totally buggering it up (it is now something like a book that has had all the pages superglued together - the info is all there, I just can't read any of it!) My computer is now in intensive care at the repair shop, and I am slowly and subtley trying to convince my wife that a new computer would be a profoundly good idea...

...anyway, I am now using one at school to catch up on my e-mail while my buggered computer is debuggered. Unfortunately, I have had all my e-mail addresses expunged. So, Dave, Nick, Mike et al. if you would like me to contact you, please send me a message so I can copy your address (and keep it off the computer this time!



Soldiers of the Red Moon are Go!

Some good news: I will shortly be signing a contract to complete Soldiers of the Red Moon, a campaign pack for RuneQuest. This may take the form of two books, one featuring player information about the Army, including war gods of the Empire; the other, an epic campaign taking the PCs from enlistment all the way to bloody tribal uprising in Sartar!

Mike Dawson has been approached to edit/develop the project.

Joseph Scott, the new Rune-Governor at AH plans on end of the year release date (RQ Con 2?).



Dr Johnson

Sam Phillips:
>The Scottish diet in notoriously bad - mainly because until the major
>supermaket chains moved in in the past ten years you couldn't buy any
>fruit or veg other than turnip and potatoes, cabbage in season and
>the occasional apple - no joke!

I think Dr Johnson in his famous Dictionary writes of oats, "A grain, which in England is given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people".

Cheers

MOB P.S. Sandy, sorry, by noting Australia's high urban density I thou ght I was
actually *agreeing* with you rather than disputing...ah well, ne'r mind.

P.P.S I loved John Hughes's joke about not needing to change the bulb 'cos Greg will later. I hope a bulb or two blows at Convulsion, as all the people attending can trot out the various jokes!
