Other thoughts, with LUG and their Star Trek license and WotC and their Star Wars license and their new D20 open format game rules with D&D 3rd edition, will we be able to have vulcan jedi? LUG's space combat game Engage! is being worked on. Might it also be a basis for a Star Wars game? Will we see a Star Wars version of Red Alert!, LUG's new Disk Wars based game of space combat?

> Interesting... I wonder if that bodes well or poorly for the 25mm and IFF (sic) the rumor is true, I'd say that it bodes well. WotC has far more capitol to invest then LUG, and miniatures are costly to develop (at least good ones are). The real question is if they will WANT to make the minis.

My guess, if they have 'mon' in the title, they'll make 'em. 'PokeMON', 'DigiMON', etc. Might take a bit of work to do the necessary conversion to a Pikachu to make it into a proper alien, but I suspect most of us are up to it. ;) > On Tue, 6 Jun 2000, Sean Bayan Schoonmaker wrote: > >Interesting...

Or Half-Vulcan jedi magic-user ninja paladins.... the horror...the horror... Then again, in 76 the Elves in my campaign wore black uniforms, jackboots, silver lightning flashes at the collars, had "cloaking devices" and were subject to Pon f'Far. And the Orcs very very occasionally had AK-47s. (This was just before SPI's publication of Chairman Bolg and the Orcish Revolutionary Coalition, O.R.C.
