Subject:      PATH OF TEARS

   One of the reasons that people may have had trouble seeing the adventure
potential in the Reformation Coalition setting is that precious little hard
info on it. The PATH OF TEARS sourcebook should solve some of this (except for
those who won't listen anyway...) and provides some very real and useful
adventure ideas. It also corrects some of the major misconceptions that some
have expressed about the Star Vikings (and, I'm happy to say, supports my view
of the RCES as an Exploratory service). It sets up an interesting enemy for the
RCES and makes use of that Tl-5 rifle that can penetrate battle dress which has
been seen around here, as well as providing explanations of how the natives can
get ahold of TL-9 ds ammo for it! Oh yeah, and it provides an alien race which
can be played (and a look at how aliens can be done in TNE, for those too
impatient to wait for "Aliens of the Rim" (like me). This book goes a long way
toward illustrating the adventuring possibilities inherent in the TNE setting.
I can't wait for the "Spinward States" sourcebook...
