G'day guys,

Yes mentioning the possibility of future alien supplements in the
original
rulebook is a bit of a two edged sword... ;)

I must admit I suffer from that, mainly because I don't like playing
'modern' and sci-fi feels awful modern for me. Thus I didn't play DS or
SG
until very recently when I got my aliens going. The saving grace being,
I
feel, that SG/DS needs very little modification to allow for aliens of
very
different natures (and not just the 'guys in rubber/tin suits' kind).

Cheers

Beth
