Subject: [GZG] Hi everybody

Adrian from stargrunt.ca suggested that I join this list.

The group to which I belong, Tactics-0 (showing our roots in
Traveller), plays science fiction miniatures games. StarGrunt II is one of our
favorites, and I just ran a StarGrunt II scenario at Kublacon. Eventually,
I'll post an after action report here as well
as on the StarGrunt-Full Thrust yahoo group.

We also play Full Thrust, and are looking forward to Dirtside this
summer (using our Striker micro-scale miniatures).

Anyway, I hope to be able to contribute some things and to pick your brains as
well.

Hi Glenn, welcome to the List! For more Full Thrust practice, you might want
to look at FTJava:

Just out of curiosity, have you seen the modified Full Thrust rulesets of
Power Projection? PP: Escort came out first with smaller ships, to be followed
by PP:Fleets for the larger bruisers. They're put out by BITS, the British
Isles Traveller Support.

As they don't use cinematic, I've not played either much, but, aside from a
conversion of the ships from Imperium out on the web, these books are the only
places I've seen Traveller designs in near FT format. (I'll not shed one tear
to be proved wrong on that.)

Amazing thing is, while I've most of the Traveller universe items from black
books up to, but not including, T4, and a few of the GURPS ones, I've
only gamed in it a few times, and most of those were boardgame tie-ins.

Glad to have you aboard!
