I'll certainly pass on both yours and Steves best wishes as I'll be seeing
Roy at the weekend all being well. I'm hoping he'll at least join in as
aplayer of Regen if not as a contributor.

You'll be welcome to play REGEN Tops, but I may be struggling to integrate
specific characters into what will be 20 years after the events in Day One -
Some of the family structure and leadership will still remain, but a lot of
the scenarios will have been swallowed up in events that happened during the
second crisis. The games going a bit darker, with emphasis shifting away
from Earth towards other areas of the Solar System. The enemy is going to be
even less visible than before although the obsession with the 'enemy within'
will remain, as will the emphasis on bringing the traditional style of hand
moderated RPG PBM gaming into the Internet generation.
I'm keeping with creating turn replies in PDF format like Roy and Steve
did - Probably using Acrobat 5, something I can use at work.
My main problem will be knowing what other players were up to during the
build up to the crisis - Any previous players, even if you don't want to
play, please drop me perhaps some old turnsheets so I can see how far Roy
was with things. This second scenario is taken predominantly from Roys notes
and ideas so anything people can let me have will be welcome. I know of at
least 80 players who have info I can use, so please send it on if you can.

I'm also interested in taking on a few brand new players with only fleeting
knowledge of Day One, so they can be counterpoint to what is looking like a
good, small core of previous players. NE1 interested should post me a reply
here or email me at my replyto address until I get permissiion to use the
old Day One (firstday) account.

I won't bore you all further,

Thanks.

Stan
co-GM Day One [REGEN]
