I have a new prized possession…

I am now the owner of a copy of GURPS: Ground Forces.
Authored by one of my very most favorite LJ Friends (even though he likes baseball…) Doug E. Berry (gridlore), and purchased from (and signed by) Marc Miller.

I also picked up Starports and Alien Module 1 (Zhodani and Vargr) from Marc…also signed.

      1. Marc Miller.

        I was the first person to write and have published an adventure for the original Traveller, and a couple of years later, I was “ennobled” by Marc. Given a “Marquisate”, as I recall, as well as later a T-Shirt from one of the Imperial Assault Divisions. *Sigh*

          1. Judges Guild published it; it was called Dra’k’ne Station. Later, I wrote a couple of things for FASA, including Action Aboard.

    1. Heh…

      The thing that surprised me most reading through Ground Forces today is that, in the quest for Starflight, and the subsequent Interstellar Wars and domination of the First Imperium, it was the ROYAL Marines that imprinted their traditions on the forces of the conquered Imperium.

      I mean, I always knew that, 3700 years into our fictional future, the Imperial Marine’s colors were Maroon and Black, but was quite surprised to learn that the Imperial Marines pronounce it “Lef-Tenant” and generally say “Aye Aye”, not “Yes, Sir”…

      So, when you coming back to the Rocky Mountain Region? 🙂
