As a person who loves that setting, I've bookmarked your blog. Great work so far!

[commissarmoody]

Duh! I forgot to mark the blog also. 
Might want to post up every once in awhile on this post to let folks you have updated who do not use blogger.

Very interesting. The marauder article's use of the Walking Dead as examples is clever.

Must find my 20mm scale  M1A2 Giraffe model...

As the late Abby Hoffman is alleged to have said: 'It makes me feel nostalgic for the future'. Actually that's a pretty cool blast from the past. A mate of mine at school was heavily into Twilight 2000. Nice to see there are still fans out there.

TW2000 was one of the first RPGs I played as a teen. Still have a few of the rules.

Like a marauder (the most recent blog post), I have almost all the T2k books at this point. I've run the game using the GURPS (roleplaying system) in the past.

Excellent typology on the marauders and accessible even if someone hasn't watched the Walking Dead.

When someone wants to buy the rules, have a look at rpgnow. Selling all the version 1,2 and 3. company is still Games Designer Workshop. Also all the old Challenge-Magazins are avaible.

Just wanted to remind folks this is a going concern, and we have posted quite a bit since this post originally went up!

For the folks looking for the rules, check out Far Future Enterprises...

A hard-copy of the main rules plus the first four adventures in one book for $35.

A CD with everything for the 1st Edition of the game (or 2nd or 3rd), also $35.

I recently ordered the CD, it is worth every penny.

As people have requested, I am letting people know more has posted, and some has updated, so keeping people apprised.

Well, after extensive archaeological research and painstaking excavation I found my model of the M1A2 Giraffe tank.


As a model, it is not particularly good, and the finish has suffered a bit from being in storage for more than twenty years.

Looks great, thanks for sharing! I always wondered what it would look like as a model, just need a LAV-75 now! 

[Ultravanillasmurf]

The LAV-75 is more complicated, there is no donor chassis (and very little information).

This was interesting:

The variant with the Stryker turret might be fun.

Maybe if I ask Empress Miniatures nicely they could supply an MGS turret and one (and a half?) sets of M113 track units?

I did wonder if they would do one of their M1A1 kits at a discount without a turret but with the rest of the bits. Hopefully I could make a better job now, and in 28mm.
