Walt,

You might want to take a look see at RIMWORLDS from Palace Simulations, the GM
just setup a couple of new affliations in the game for new players.  Also a
game called Atlantean Realm from Argus Adventure Simulations (Phil White's the
owner) looks to be an interesting BSE/Orion Nebula-style game if it ever gets
started (I was supposed to start Aug 1st.).   Oh, yeah, Midgard has been sold
once again, this time to a company called Midgard USA.
