>From Wednesday's TML:
Adrian Hurt Says:
:True enough. I've been using out-of-date, TL7 manuals for reference. No
:doubt, in a few years when we do have fusion power plants, GDW will change
:things again and make grav units TL 10. :-)
Watch. By then, nanotech and virtual reality will be so commonplace,
and physical immortality a kind of anachronistic jingle, we'll wonder
how this TL scheme ever came about anyway. :=)
:So when and where can I buy a laser carbine?
Give me a couple of hundred thou, a couple of years, and Scott Kellogg,
Mark Cook and I will cook something up for you.
Next, Stuart Willard Daniel says:
:
:As the subject line says, I am trying to get a hold of a copy
:of Book 8 on Robots. I would also like to find 101 Robots, if
:this is available.
I know I have a copy of book 8. I'm not so sure about 101 Robots,
though. However mine is trashed, because I naively believed GDW
would use that format forever, and cut all my little books up,
put holes in them, and stuffed them into notebooks (with notes,
of course). Write to Mark Cook ([email removed]) for
the address or an order form for the Weekend Warrior in LA. It's
a nifty little game store that specializes in out-of-print stuff.
Let me know if you run into problems.
And finally, Robert S. Dean says:
:<Adrian and Bertil say> [I think this was Adrian]
:> A great deal of the vehicles I have put up are TL 8. (I may even
:> have put out more Tech 8 stuff than the unbeatable Rob Dean!:-)
:
:Actually, according to my notebooks, assuming I haven't lost anything of
:yours, and not counting the great spaceship built around the TL8 nuclear
:thermal rocket that I'll upload tomorrow, our count is now Me:40 You:21.
:Nice try, though... (-: (-: (-:
I assume at least one of you, perhaps all of you, use a spreadsheet to
help with your designs. If you do, please send me a copy, or submit
it to the CAT archives (with some instructions, hopefully), or something
like that. Maybe, althogether, on some dry weekend, the TML can
publish the "Ten items per system for thw Whole Imperium" vehicle
designs. (Lessee- that's about 2000 each, right?) :=)
Anywaya - let me know how you prolific guys stay in shape.
