This from the guy who's been causing mayhem in my GenCon Traveller
adventures for what, seven years now?
Actually the Logan's Run movie gun HAS Traveller rules written up;
I designed it quite a while ago but never published the stats. I'd
need to modify it to MT rules first. My version uses fulminated
mercury doped with copper, fired by a Gauss field (ask Craig about
the 'tube' I'm trying to introduce to MT with some help from mah
frenz (after I get the other two articles I'm working on out of the
way....)). Magnesium won't burn green when it hits, and won't ignite
from a single spark-- certainly not a 1cm pellet of the stuff!
Actually, the OTHER Logan's Run gun, the one from the Book, was ten
times nastier. I'd written it up and had it accepted for JTAS a LONG
time ago, but MArc Miller axed the idea. Good thing, too; it would
have shot game balance to hell.
