Re: 2300 AD - GZG

At last! Mention of 2300AD!

The entire series, along with the Twilight 2000 series, is scheduled for
reprint from FFE shortly. you can get some info from their website at
http://www.farfuture.net/

Also, there are several yahoogroups lists on the subject, of which the
broadest in scope is:
2300NonCanon-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

A page of my private links for 2300AD, including a lot of other related
links but also all the 2300 links I know of, is on my webpage at:
http://www.kurotokage.org/2300AD/Bookmarks.html

I would be DELIGHTED to see any notes on conversions. With a friend or
two, we are trying to work up conversions to bring Blue Planet into the
2300AD universe now...

I began to speak of style, of the army of words, of the army in which
all kinds of weapons may come into play. No iron can stab the heart with
such force as a period put just at the right place.
