------------------------------ Bundle: 558 Archive-Message-Number: 7010 Date: Sat, 19 Mar 94 12:25:14 EST From: "Susan M. Shock" [-- REDACTED --] 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... Allen ------------------------------
