Subject: a new role-playing game about transhumans!
Date: Wed, 01 Aug 2001 06:51:13 

Hello everyone,

I am reposting this from the extro-list.  I love Steve Jackson's GURPs rpg 
system, and am very excited about what he will be releasing later this year!

Steve Jackson Games (of Secret Service raid fame) will release a series of 
books called "GURPS: Transhuman Space" beginning near the year's-end. As the 
title suggests, they have an explicitly transhuman theme. I've read playtest 
copies of the books, and found it much better than most science-fiction 
role-playing games. It might provide a method for introducing transhuman 
ideas to other people in an entertaining and
non-threatening manner.

This new project sounds REALLY exciting to say the least!  And seeing Max 
More's and Anders Sandberg's websites mentioned made me very hopeful.  Does 
anyone here know the game creator David Pulver?  Steve? :)

I still have fond memories of playing the microgames.  They were cheap, 
quickly played, and a lot of fun.  Chitin, WarpWar and Ice War were my 
favorites.

best wishes,

John
