============ OGREverse list, May 25th (Last: May 19th) ============= ===== Ogre Orignal Rules? From: Steve Jackson ------------------------------ From: Steve Jackson Subject: Ogre Orignal Rules? >Come on, Steve .... the Twentieth Anniversary of OGRE is here (if not >already gone) Long gone. 1997 was the 20th. > [The advantage of begging for a reprint of an existing product is that >there is no development cost, simply admin hassles. The problem is >convincing the channel that it'll sell. And a straight reprint will NOT significantly expand the user base. You guys want me to do something that will bring in new players for you to kill, errrr, enjoy the game with. > But, while we're dreaming, how about getting Masamune Shirow to draw >the Ogre manga? > > It was a dark and stormy night. No life stirred across the desolate >landscape. The only relief from muddy hillsides and scattered rocks were >a few dead trees, their empty branches held up to the stormy skies as if >in supplication to god. > > A distant rumbling was heard over the thunder and a Mark V creasted a >hill and stopped. Its guns transversed wildly, as if searching for >something. "Leona!" It shouted into the storm and then started off >again. -HJC] ROFL. Almost literally. Steve Jackson - yes, of SJ Games - yes, we won the Secret Service case Learn Web or die - http://www.sjgames.com/ - dinosaurs, Lego, Kahlua! The heck with PGP keys; finger for Geek Code. Fnord. ----- [For anybody sufficiently sensible not to have gotten the Leona reference, the Sci-Fi channel just finished running "Tank Police" over the previous two Saturdays. (See: http://www.scifi.com/anime/) If you can find the Dominion comic book (translated by Dark Horse, ISBN 1-56971-160-7. Out of print. (Why does that sound familiar?)), it has an article by Mr Shirow on the future evolution of the light tank. Let's just say that Leona has taken the order to "love her tank like a brother" a little too far, but I think Mr Shirow can be trusted to not write crossovers with "Wuthering Heights". -HJC] Henry J.
