Oh, Praetorian says hi.

Also, having a complete set of basic rules will give us a much stronger foundation to start our own games from.
So I say I want them.

There is no hurry, but I think I too would like them, if it could some how be managed. If for no other reason than it might give us some ideas as how to better work out our variations. After all, evrything we have so far has come from what Ralenok showed us. I think we could do more if we had access to more of his work. But like I said, there is no hurry.

We all really respected Raelnok, and speaking as someone who's tried to make RPG systems before, i'd be very interested in what he came up with. If i had the full rules, i would likely use them in space madness, because up untill now, i've pretty much made most things up, except for the fights, in which i used my calculator to generate random numbers and compared them to others, etc. it was pretty hap hazard, but i think i did it mostly consistently. Give us as much as you have time to do, we'll lap it up like good milk.

However, in order to get the game system tested, we'll need all the rules.

Prae just about flipped yesterday because it turns out a game he found is based on very simliar rules. A game called Big Eyes, Small Mouth seems to have about half of the rol system integrated into it somehow. Kinda makes me wonder about these deals that ralenok was setting up over the summer.

can't remember fully, because i wasn't exactly myself those days, but... anyways, that'd be great if you can scan them. I'll try to take some time to type them up properly, in Word or something, so that it can be properly formatted and easily transferred to a more professional format at a later date...
