To those interested I picked up Issue 72 of Challange at the game store today
(Friday 4/22) so it is out. It looks like Traveller News Service is gone (but
why? we still have the Regency around) and replaced with CINETWORK (Coalition
Information Network) that reads the same as TNS did. Of the 5 Traveller:TNE
articles two are excerpted from FF&S and so are of limited interest to those
of us with FF&S.
Also seen: Smash and Grab. The scenerio book for Star Vikings. Looks
interesting. Various areas are detailed (an old airport on one world for
example). One (maybe two) worlds detailed in the way the worlds were detailed
in PoT. Some more RCES hardware is shown. I only thumbed through it, but it
looks like it's worth it. My only problem was the $18 price tags on the front
while $14 is printed on the back of the book. So of course I pointed out the
discrepency to the manager of the game store. It seems they charge whatever
they are invoiced for, so now the manager is waiting to hear back from the
distributor. I also seem to remember paying an extra dollar for FF&S when it
came out too. I think I'll be more patient this time <g>.
