While I've never listed on Bartertown, I've watched it for years. It's
definitely run as a not-for-profit site that allows others to post
game-related classifieds. Mostly devoted to GW items, it's branched out.
And, I'd love to see some painted Full Thrust ships listed.
To tell the truth, I had more problems with the event notices. HGMS notices
are definitely directed to historical players, which, so far, GZG products
have not been. There's a code for Sci-fi gaming, but I've yet to see a
one of the cons listed with it attached. I'd much rather see a list of cons
that specifically feature FT/SG/DS. I believe some of the cons are
single
game or period oriented, and would be hostile to sci-fi events.
However, and I acknowledge the call is Jon's, neither qualify for banning in
my humble opinion.
Jon, we hope you recognize the 'listfuhrer' is meant lovingly.

MAybe we should talk to the poster about it..

Mmmm... do I get to wear a uniform? with medals?:). I guess given the general
feel of the mail (and a few I've had personally sent to me) this was someone
genuinely thinking they were doing a service rather than attempting to
advertise. I think we can let it roll unless anyone really objects.

While I'd still rather have GZG notices, I'll be quiet now.

There's usually a FT game or two listed in the PEL. The last Historicon ran a
Friday night Full Thrust game based on the star wars universe. Kurrt and I had
a game going Saturday day and evening, but it wasn't listed in the PEL.
BTW, as a quick plug, our game group: The Connecticut Gamer's Club will be
holding our annual CRUSADESin New Haven, CT on the weekend of Jan
11th. There's usually a few FT/DS games gong on. (as well as Warzone,
generic Legions, Warhammer 40k and Epic 40k) I will post the link to the PEL
once it becomes available. We usually have about 300 patrticipants plus a
number of vendors.

How about Oberlist-Banfuhrer instead...

Jon, The HMGS people allow 10 percent of the games at one of thier events to
be 'non-historical'. But then they consider 'anchients' to be
'historical'. Pesoonally I cannot think of the battle where the Chinese fought
the Maya.
Well, memory fades with time.
