Hey,

Sorry if I missed any previous discussions that might have taken place on
this.

Just wondering if any GZG conversions had been done to the game Gear
Krieg...importing a cool game into the Tuffleyverse...

He's been around a while. He's a self confessed gamer but doesn't play that
much any more. I actually got him to accept a challenge to a game of Full
Thrust but his curse of the cartoonist ate my laptop along with my fleet two
days before the convention. *sigh* But I got an INCREDIBLY cool autograph
anyway...

Actually, I'm suprised he finds time to read the list. I've heard him talk
about the stresses of publishing and I'm really surprised he keeps
going...

John K, there hasn't been a whole lot of talk about Gear Krieg.

And that reminds me, John K. You owe me an email about Murphy's Rules artwork.

Mike

Well, duh. Like I would have heard of him if I didn't
read Dork Tower.  :)  (j/k, also LOVE the artwork he's
done on... well, pick a half dozen SJ games and odds are he's done the artwork
on a couple of 'em. My personal favorite is Chez Geek.) And no WAY you could
write DT without many years of brain damage induced by gaming.

Would be an interesting conversion. Would have to permit Size 2 infantry
walkers for some of the gears, as I understand it. Of course, it's been years
since
I touched a DP9 product--didn't like the way the
company's focus was going. Too much emphasis on the roleplayers at the
deliberate expense of the wargamers.

Should take a look at it now. They've gone back to really supporting their
miniature gaming. Gotten rid of the hexes, improved data cards, good system.
DP9 is putting out some good solid table games.
