 March 19, 2008 - 12:45am | As if I didn't have enough grief going on already... I might have to pull out my 2001 Star Frontiers module and pay a little homage. Go and be with the stars.  <insert witty comment here> |
 March 19, 2008 - 1:15am | I remember reading Rendezvous with Rama... *sigh* Father of hard science sci-fi, in my opinion. Did you know they're making a movie from that book? I think it has Morgan Freeman cast as one of the explorers investigating the cylinder. Maybe the death of Clark will launch a new era of hard science-fiction movies? Best way to honor someone's death is to remember the works of his life. 3. We wear sungoggles during the day. Not because the sun affects our

 March 19, 2008 - 6:43am | I was also thinking we need to pull out the module for homage. Anyone for refereeing an online game? With a little tweeking, I'm sure the two modules could be made to be more exciting, as they didn't do to well when they came out, but I think it's just that they're too large. |
 March 19, 2008 - 7:29am | I borrowed Clarke's monolith for my SF game, but that game has been on hold recently...completely my own fault. :( In my game the monolith is connected with the sathar, but not controlled by the sathar. |

TANSTAAFL!! |
March 19, 2008 - 9:59pm | I started the Arthur C. Clarke memorial game. I figure it would be a good opportunity to try my hand out with Refereeing while I remaster the module. Along with the remastering, I will also be producing a re-edited version to accompany AER. The memorial game will skip straight to the U.S.S. Discovery. I just finished typing up the Discovery's deck plans for the documents section which will be posted. |
