Call For Participation January 7th, 1998

We are in the planning phase of preparing a small game convention on the East
coast, USA. We are actively looking for Gamemasters to prepare scenarios and
run events featuring GZG or derivative rules, including Full Thrust, Dirtside
II, Stargrunt II, and Babylon 5 rules from the Earth Force Sourcebook.

Ground Zero Games is a Trademark of Jon M. Tuffley. The Babylon Project and
the Earth Force Sourcebook are published by Chameleon Eclectic.

this event merely denotes that all scheduled events at this convention will be
