Oh Man what a shock can you tell us any more? I'm 38 as well so it brings home how fragile and insane life can be sometimes. What family did Matthew have? ...
I didn't know Matthew personally (unless we played GH together at Gamesfair in the 1980s) but it's always sad to lose one of our own. My condolences to those...

... I first encountered Matthew on the Traveller Mailing List some years ago. (5? 6? 7?) Long enough to have learned to respect and value him. And now to miss...
... My condolences to you Certic.Perhaps as a mark of respect we could all feature the White Knight in our scenarios as a way to honour Matthew? Brian....

Having a machine that has this speed capability, or even a sidekick, is a better option. That way he can 'fold' space to his destination or surf steller waves...

Does anyone run a game not set in either the UK or America? I'd like to hear about superheroes from other countries.I find it hard to come up with background...
