The illustration is misleading. It looks like it is too be worn on the cetacean's back. -Jason *************************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list send mail to majordomo@mpgn.com with the line 'unsubscribe blue_planet' as the body of the message. From c577200@showme.missouri.edu Mon Jan 26 13:14:25 1998 Date: Tue, 13 Jan 1998 17:43:17 -0600 From: Jason Werner Reply-To: blue_planet@MPGN.COM To: blue_planet@MPGN.COM Subject: [BLUE PLANET] - Shadis Review Hey, all: First, sorry about the double post. Jeff, Greg, and I don't always compare notes before answering questions, so sometimes we both answer them. Guess it's a good thing our answers agree! Second, check out the new issue of Shadis Magazine. Their long-awaited review of BP is in the back. Although it's not the most well-written review of all time, it's hard to complain about all the free (and favorable) publicity. In addition, look for Blue Planet in the pages of Shadis in the future. Alderac Entertainment Group has a program whereby you can receive a free copy of one of a group of RPG's for subscribing to their magazine (Shadis). Biohazard will be taking part in this starting in about the March issue. Hopefully, this will give us a little more "face time" in what is becomming an increasingly crowded market. Finally, Jason, as to your inquiry about "official" company materials or pre-generated scenarios, they're all in our heads. Even "Deep Sh*t", the scenario we've run at Cons for the past two seasons, has all been ad lib. If you'd like, we can discuss some of the other scenario ideas we've kicked around. Alternatively, I would direct you to the access denied sections of the book. These are largely intended to provide scenario ideas. If nothing else, they can serve as a "jumping-off point" for something of your own creation. Let me know if there's anything we can do to help. -- -Jason Werner Biohazard Games ---------------------------------------- Those who would treat politics and morality apart will never understand the one or the other. - John, Viscount Morley of Blackburn ---------------------------------------- *************************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list send mail to majordomo@mpgn.com with the line 'unsubscribe blue_planet' as the body of the message.
