Hello, As requested, I am de-lurking to say a bit about my interest in Dwarfstar games. I encountered the Star Viking game when it first came out all those ...
It was loosely inspired, though really *really* loosely. Love Piper a lot. I have all of his books except for the murder mystery he did; I'll track it down and...
... Although this was a frequent suggestion in the contemporary reviews, I think Arnold Hendrick's Designer Notes in Space Gamer 49 states that the game was...
I have it downstairs in the collection, though honestly I've utterly forgotten there was such an article. I base my commentary on the designer's notes I...

Excerpted from Arnold Hendrick's article "Designer's Notes: Star Viking" originally printed in Space Gamer 49; "Although the title and concept may bring back...
... I'm still not sure why Pournelle is supposed to be an authority on this though. Of course, Arnold Hendrick can currently be reached, if anyone is ...
Pournelle owns the rights to all of Piper's works...picked them up in the late '80s I think. He wrote a novel or two that are semi-sequels in Piper's Fuzzy...
Okay so over 5000 people have viewed the download page but only 8 of us are members? Or am I reading the forum wrong. I've not joined a 'group' before although...
I don't think there's too many of us, no. I joined about a month ago though so I can't make an opinion yet. Outpost Gamma is an awesome game - just like one of...
Well, numbers are a bit off. It is over 5000 times that the web page is being visit. As a matter of fact, I have visit the page more then 30 times already,...
Some of those 5000 have got to be die-hards and repeats, of course...I've been to Mav's pages several times myself and I'm nowhere near as hard core as some...
... There are currently 50 members in the Yahoo group, although I did make the group public so that people could read it without joining as some people don't...
... IMO the Metagaming games were always the best ones. There were exceptions of course (I loved the concept behind Valkenberg's Castle, for example) but...
In a message dated 6/12/04 2:37:56 PM !!!First Boot!!!, ... for the most part I agree though I think that Task Force Games Starfire, Starfire II + III are...
I totally agree with you...Starfire and Starfire II were played EXHAUSTIVELY among my circle of friends. I was very very pleased when Space Empires hit the...
10 men against hundreds...doesn't that make your heckles rise! Loved this game. Loved it to bits. Played Grav Armour and Ogre and wasn't impressed and sadly as...
I got an e-mail from Lewis Pulsipher today. He informed me that he talked with some people at the Origins game convention about having Dragon Rage republished,...
That would be great!--If it does happen,and in a larger format, I hope they can replicate the quality of the castle art as in the original--and mebbe make the...
Well, it's one of the weakest of the original series but okay....I reckon it would be good to see it on the stands again. I'm glad he's been able to find some...
Thanks to The Maverick I have now joined this group. I designed Dragon Rage. I don't know how Dragon Rage compares with the other Dwarfstar games (which I...
... I want to thank Lew for coming aboard, as I think he is our first Dwarfstar designer to have joned the list! I would also like to thank him for and...
Maverick - I have consistently encountered your name across the web in conjunction with all the games i have enjoyed over the years (similar taste perhaps?...

Hi! Did you receive the draft of the Dragon Rage rules I e-mailed the other day? If not, I will send them again for your review before I post them to the...
