X-Message-Number: 17166 From: "john grigg" <> 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! "Til Eulenspiegel" wrote: 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.

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 _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=17166
