Subject: Hi

	I have been watching this newsletter for about two weeks.  I wanted to see
the attitude and quality of the submissions.  So far I am not disappointed.
	After cutting through the complaints about TNE over CT and MT, I can see
that most people are at least dedicated and passionate toward the system. 
This leads to longevity.  With longevity there must be change.
	The Imperium lasted for 1100 years more or less.  A pretty good run, if you
ask me.  But change must come.  Sometimes it more drastic than others.  Many
Empires have risen and fallen in the past with little to major effects.
	My point is, I like the TNE background.  I like the different form of story
telling as well.  What I mean is that, some of the old stuff reads more like
a text book than an adventure.  Quite frankly it was getting a little boring.
	I hadn't planned on using the Star Viking setting, but the material is
definitely worth having.  I am going to set up a fledgling pocket empire.  As
the characters arrive in system this single system is on the verge of
expanding.  A mother virus is in control of the more advanced group and the
evil God Virus is the arch enemy.  I think they will like it, and if anyone
has any helpful hints as to adventure seeds I'll gladly look at them.
