The Gameboard (Knoxville area store chain) has been selling something called the "Ultimate Vagabond Package". Basically, it's five of the books, including the core book, all bundled up for $20. Unfortunately, it doesn't include The Adventure With No Name, Bar Wars, or The Reich Stuff, but it has everything else. I got lucky enough to find a couple of books on the used rack before that, so I have a spare copy of the main book and Hypercad 54, Where Are You?, if you're interested. -Necromancer Bob *************************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list send mail to majordomo@lists.ient.com with the line 'unsubscribe blue_planet' as the body of the message.

So we converted you at last, eh? Well you'll soon see it's worth every penny. I'm pretty impressed with this mailing list too. So all you out there can give yourselves a pat on the back.

Palladium Mailing List. A formerly great place to discuss Palladium related games, but ahs recently degenerated into mindless dribble and 15 year old kids arguing about crap.

PML is PML shorthand for the Palladium Mailing List, a once-noble list that has degenerated into mindless crap...not unlike the Rifts series... ____________________ Necromancer Bob, Drag Queen of the Apocalypse Visit The Gate: Necromancer Bob's Domain at: http://www.intws.com/necrobob AOL IM: NcroBob ICQ #78542780 AOL = Internet for the mentally deficient *************************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list send mail to majordomo@lists.ient.com with the line 'unsubscribe blue_planet' as the body of the message.

No, but is that the concept, using BP as a Lost World?
