I'm new to the list, and I'm sure the subjects I'm going to bring up have
been worked to death already so if someone would like to respond to my
questions via e-mail I would not be at all offended... :-)
That was the disclaimer, now for the message. I played Classic and
MegaTraveller for a very long time, and I just recently purchased The New
Era but didn't have time to look at it too carefully. Last week I finally
perused it and it left me rather confused on the history.
WAS Strephon the real Strephon? Survival Margin seems to imply that he
was, but the Regency business seems to imply that he wasn't. What was
Project Longbow anyway, and who was the "new empress" he mentioned? Why
did he send his son(?) to the Domain and what became of him?
How did Norris die? Is he dead at all?
What the heck happened to Core Sector? It's a big black smear now.
Are any of the
"major players" of the Rebellion still around?
I ask these things because I tend to run far-ranging campaigns and sooner
or later players will want to know "Gee... is Margaret still alive? How
about her kids? Grandkids?" and so forth. Sooner or later they are going
to try to go to Core Sector. Has GDW put out another product (besides
Survival Margin and the basic rules) that answers any of these questions?
Thanks
