And A word from Loren c/o GEnie:

Announcing, the FF&S/RCEG Design Search
GDW is seeking designs for items of equipment to be featured in
their upcoming product, the Reformation Coalition Equipment
Guide. This book will deal with the standard personal equipment
of the Reformation Coalition Exploration Service, as well as the
equipment they are likely to encounter on the various worlds they
contact, as well as recovered Imperial equipment.
There are, of course, some ground rules:
1. We don't need very many more small arms. If you have a
really neat gun that you think will beat out everything else
under the sun, go ahead and submit it, but bear in mind that we
already have designs for a great many small arms, and we are
likely to get a lot more. This applies less to heavy weapons, tac
missiles and such weapon systems. We are primarily looking for
personel equipment, although small vehicles, non-starships, or
similar designs will be considered. Likewise, we are not looking
for starships, but we will consider non-jump spacecraft that are
particularly interesting or innovative.
2. All designs must use the standard Imperial campaign
technology as described in FF&S. Designs using optional or
alternative technologies (even though included in FF&S) cannot be
considered. Likewise, all designs must follow the rules in FF&S
to the letter...no house rules or variants will be acceptable.
3. The highest tech level of the coalition is 12 (C for you
folks who insist on alphnumerics). Equipment in the hands of
other groups will probably be lower than this. "Remnant" Imperial
equipment will be TLs 13 to 15 (D to F).
4. Show your worksheets. We need to see every calculation,
simply printing out a spreadsheet design will not be adequate, as
we cannot always tell from such things which values you have used
for various variables, where and when you rounded, etc. Be neat
and legible. E-mail entries are OK, provided we can decipher
them.
5. The only payment you will receive is the inner sense of well-
being resulting from a job well-done, your name on the credits
page of the RCEG, the fawning adulation of your peers for getting
your name in print, and a free copy of the book if we use one or
more of your designs.
6. If you want to send a sketch or drawing to help our
artists illustrate your brainchild(ren) feel free. GDW's art staff
is unable to decode electronic sketches, so these will have
to be sent to us on paper...sorry.
7. All submissions become the property of GDW, Inc., and cannot
be returned (but we will try to acknowledge receipt of each). GDW
reserves the right edit and/or alter any design as we deem
necessary.
