Uhh, try playing with the Genestealers and DeathWing Expansion sets. Once, we
were playing a game where the Marines had to set up in front of a door facing
a corridor so they couldn't spread out, and the 'Stealer player in his first
turn converted a psyker, cast teleport and then Blast on the door.

It was not a pretty sight.  Marine player lost 3 of the 4 members of his
Squad. uhh.. including the Marine Librarian (4th level)...  Ouch.

Huh, too true.  I still regret not cashing in on the White Dwarf/Citadel
competition while I was in England.  Back in 1987, I won a consolation prize
that gave me #24.00 worth of Citadel miniatures. Sheesh talk about missed

Yeah, the original vehicular rules were quite pathetic really.  You NEED to
use the new rules as they represent a vast improvement over the original
40k rules.  So you can either buy White Dwarf Back issues and collect them
that way or buy the supplementary books, which all cost money.

GW should get their act together and do a new edition of 40k that will
incorporate all the changes that has occurred.

Well... There IS a role-playing game called "DARKLANDS" (available for PCs and
Amiga,other formats to follow) which does indeed play in Germany somewhere in
the middle-ages (it's somewhat historical),but is is NOT a german product,being
programmed and distributed by MicroSoft (an American corporation).
The german roleplaying system is called "Das Schwarze Auge" (commonly only re-
ferred to as "DSA"),which translates directly to "The Black Eye" (an artifact to
be found in adventures).However,this role-playing system has NOTHING AT ALL to
do with Darklands !!! There is a computer game for DSA,called "Die Schicksals-
klinge" ("The Sword of Destiny") but this is a purely german product -
EVERYTHING is written in german,and (as far as I know) no translation is
planned. However,this should not be seen as a major loss - the game itself is in
no way outstanding,especially the isometric 3D fights are a bit sloppy - if you
choose the "fast" combat (i.e. the computer chooses all your actions,as in the
various SSI products),everybody who is capable of casting spells will do so -
even if it's impossible (the spell would take more "movement points" than the 
character has left,or he has no magic points left) ; and the missiles are
severely handicapped by being fireable only in straight lines (fore,back,left
or right) and with the first person on this line as target......
As far as I know,there are also no translations currently planned for the role-
playing system itself,however,if you currently play AD&D (any
edition),RoleMaster or the like,you'll be better off staying at these systems as
they are (in my point of view) quite better.
I hope this should sattisfy all questions, if not just mail me under my address
( guido@rbg.informatik.th-darmstadt.de ).

Oh, one more thing : Are any of you out there playing WIZARDRY (Bane or Cru- 
saders)? Also,has anyone ever thought of turning it into a system in itself ?

So long,

Is it just me, or do I get the impression that this person has just grepped

Evidently, they have no concept of the true role of aus.culture.ultimo.

I fact, I doubt that anyone truly residing in Greater Ultimo could give
a stuff about a free stocks newsletter - it's possible that anyone
interested in stocks and shares isn't living in Greater Ultimo at all.

Greater Ultimo is a state of mind. In it, people dance. They dance with
Pooh, and with traffic-light controllers. They dance to the music of the
spheres, motorbike engines, PWEI, and keyclicks. They drink coffee and
eat baklava.
