Matt,

Orion Nebula was one of the greatest space opera PBMs ever attempted and
it's a bloody shame that the partners involved let things go they way
they did.  Atlantean Realm was basically just BSE squared, it's folded
also or the GMs have been abducted by aliens or something <g>.  I'll take
a another look at Smuggler's Run, but I don't think I'd find it that
interesting - it's a little to humorous for my taste.
