Subject: Re: Homepage GZG History

I have three comments...

How many pages on the GZG list have little snippets of the rules books on them
or terms used from published GZG works? Most all of them, I'd say. I think at
the minimum the page in question should include a little
blurb acknowledging the GZG-copywrited material used as well as some
blurb that the use is not a challenge to said work. It's easy enough to borrow
a stadard copywright notice from one of the other FT pages on the web.

As for content, I think we could use some place on the web that summarizes the
history. I think it's a sales point when you are theinking of buying a new SF
game. You want to know what's the background like etc. And before someome
blurts out how FT is generic, I think it's still good to point out that they
do have their own background and it's quite a good one, since that's a large
reason why some people get into a new rules set.

Finally I realize having read that page that my Rot hafen story takes palce in
2193, ten years after the first mysterious contact with the KV. That I
planned. But what I missed out on was that there was a major war fought with
the KV in the mid eighties. So what I might due is change the year that the
story takes place and kick it back to like 2184 or 86. I'll look into it more
and pick a good year. I just want to sink the battle with teh officail
timeline a little better.
