    Got the same message from the same person just a couple of hours ago.
    If it moves, shoot it, if not push it, if it still doesn't move, use explosives.

    Nothing happens in isolation - it's called "the butterfly effect"

        Anyone else got any bright ideas about who it is Perhaps those behind 93 Games Studio got their shit together and are having a crack again
        Hey, it's as good a theory as anyone else's at this point!

          well whoever it is Chris writes for them - but got me who else he does stuff for - right now basically its anyone's guess - but since there are board members who have written for other companies we will see - probably we will have to wait and see if Chris or Marc lets out any more info

            Apparently he's done some work for Atlas Games... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Games
            Also Paizo Publishing

            Catalyst Game Labs
            Catalyst Game Labs is a top-ten hobby games and fiction publisher specializing in licensed properties


            Chances are it's one of them, but who knows. Seems he gets around A LOT!

              Oh damn!
              PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do NOT let it be Catalyst Games.
              One of my friends has been running a ShadowRun 5th Ed. game - we found the rules less useful than they could have been and started converting back to earlier editions.
              Then we saw the plans for 6th edition and the members of the gaming group who have played the earlier editions have rejected 6th Ed. out of hand.

              And as for the quality of the books for 5th Ed. - less than impressed. An index would work fine... assuming the page numbers in the index actually referred to the correct page numbers and assuming certain rules and concepts were not splashed over multiple pages that have no connection to each other.

                Has Mongoose Publishing been thought off, they currently publish Traveller and 2300.

                In my opinion I would like to see a return to the traditional cold war setting especially as it's the 30th anniversary of the Berlin wall coming down this year.

                As for the African and Korean sourcebooks that have come out in the past couple of years are the gold standard and are miles betters than what GDW originally produced.

                All in just my two cents worth.

                  I hope Mongoose Publishing is not an option, every game of theirs that I have had any interest in the past they have stopped supporting.

                      I got roped into GMing a Shadowrun game by the DM who was running the 5e campaign in honor of the 30-year anniversary of Shadowrun. We ended going back to my 3e because his 5e was a "hot mess" to use. I have SIX SETS of d6s that I bought from Walmart and they weren't enough to play 5e with 4 players. I'm trying to transition the group AWAY from Shadowrun into Dark Conspiracy because the GDW D20 system is just easier to use than FASA's "Success system." The major issue with this system in a Twilight2000 setting would be the haphazard way it handles both explosives and automatic weapons.

                          Their LEGEND system would be the most adaptable to a V1-like Twilight2000 but they are sloppy with their production values (I have Mongoose Runequest I and II as well as LEGEND). They would be open to 3rd party participation in game development but I have no idea what their guidelines are.

                            I need to pop into the Dark Conspiracy forum if I'm going to be running it as a new campaign. I wonder if Clockwork is still taking contributions to the game. I'd like to get my optics and spotting posts evaluated.

                              Thank you for saying that- I bet Raellus really appreciates that as well!
