- No news is good news. So your not getting
- any newsÿ because it's not easy to be
- current when you're only published once
- every six months.
- Anywayÿ it's the end of another wonderful
- year (as this is written) and as is the
- custom (starting this year) I present "The
- Golden Turkey awards for Absolute lack of
- Excellence In Roleplaying 1990".
-
- First up this year is the award for "The
- daftest concept in a Roleplaying
- supplement". This year it goes to TSR for
- their mind numbing Hollow World supplement
- for D&D. The basic plot of this is a
- campaign on the inside of a hollow world
- (surprise surprise). (Actually I think this
- is a great idea - N.Davies)(Prat -me). Had I
- done this last year TSR would have won as
- well with their ships in space thingÿ
- Spelljammerÿ with the two types of gravity
- on and off. What's that rumbling noise? Ohÿ
- it's just Newton revolving.
-
- "The Greatest Hype to be Heaped on a RPG
- Award".
- Torg wins this one hands downÿ a year of
- ad's proclaiming this game to be the
- greatest thing to happen to role playing and
- it was the game PC's had been waiting for.
- And what do we get all the genres mixed into
- one. Ohÿ it came second for the daftest
- plot.
-
- "The Daftest Name for a RPG".
- Torg wins this as well. 'Nuff said.
-
- "The fastest re-release". Cyberpunk was
- released about a year ago. The second
- edition has just been released only a year
- later. That's what I call fast work. Still
- The first edition was full of mess ups.
- RIGHT I'M BORED LET'S DO SOMETHING ELSE.
- What else has happened this yearÿ not a lot
- that's what. It been nearly all re-releasesÿ
- even Twilight 2000 (because of the fall of
- communismÿ it kind of buggered up the old
- cold war plot). Ohÿ there's been a load of
- supplements. I nearly forgot the most
- inspiring release of this year Macho Women
- with Machine Guns! Wow Gosh.
- I've just been told to fill the rest of
- this page by Mr Editor (fascist)ÿ now he's
- telling me to delete the last bitÿ bloody
- 'ellÿ and quoting me. Is there no depth's to
- which he wont sinkÿ it's bribery now. Only
- about seven lines now and I'm running out of
- steam. I knowÿ
- I'll
- do
- it
- like
- this.
