These would all get my vote of approval - except that I obviously have to expand my repertoir of sound effects/music if I want to run BP with "atmos". Arse!

Some of it's a little "crunchy" for my taste, but it's pretty fast while mixing in a tribal rhythm, and it's different enough that some players might even find it alien... You can check it out at http://www.naturebeat.com/pages/didjworks.html. Take a listen at "Terra Nullius." After you hear that, imagine hearing it underground, at the other end of a crowded train station... Now *that* was surreal...

I am in Sydney, Australia if there are any locals on the list. I have a few questions for anyone out there who can help. Do we have a release date for the second edition? I note allot of R&D and test playing going on so I guess its not too far away. Will the existing products be re-released for the 2ed or will only new material be coming out?

I picked it up at Hastings on Tuesday (Ace books, ISBN: 0-441-00685-X). Here's the blurb, compliments of Amazon: === Book Description Allen Steele has won two Hugo Awards, a Nebula nomination, the Locus Award, the Asimov's Readers Award and the 1998 Science Fiction Chronicle Readers Award. Now, he presents a novel in which mankind's future lies not among the stars...but beneath the waves. Tethys--the world's first completely self-sufficient undersea research station. It is the stepping stone to a new frontier of life on Earth. Within this oasis of technology are those who seek to unlock the mysteries of the unknown deep. But they are not alone... === I haven't read or heard of Steele before. Since he's wond some good awards, I assume he doesn't suck. Anyone know more about him? A good web site?
