Happy Birthday, America!

I have been contacted by Matthew Prager, and he has granted me permission to host all four of his Challenge articles.  Two are "rule expansions" ( Black Market and Jacked In), the other two are adventures ( Hot Stuff and The Edge of Memory).  They are now available on the 2300AD magazine articles page.  Thank you Matthew!!!

My thanks to Terry Kuchta for pointing out that "The WIG page" link in the Middlemen adventure needed updating.  The updated article has the corrected link.

Tyge Sjöstrand has been working on a generic set of star system generation rules, titled World Generation 2, which can be used with 2300AD.  The most recent draft version is available in PDF format here ( and in HTML format on Peter Trevor's website) .  Thank you Tyge!!!

I have made some interesting discoveries about Civilian Spacer Pay in 2300AD, and have written an article about them.

Both of these are now available on the Best of the 2300AD Mailing List page.

PDF versions of Naka's An African Names Resource for 2300 are now available on the Name lists for 2300 AD characters and ships page.  My thanks to William Miller for doing the PDF conversion.

eGroups has finished their "assimilation" of Onelist.com ( which had been hosting most of the 2300AD-themed mailing lists).  So I have updated all of my How to join the various 2300AD mailing lists page with all the revised subscription/email links.  For more information about the merger, see eGroups.com's news/FAQ page.

While generating some fully detailed NPCs using my Char Gen software, I noticed an error with one of the star names in the colony list datafile.  There is now a patch containing the repaired clnylist.dat file ( which is used by all versions of my char gen software) is now availiable in the software download section.  Once you have downloaded the patch, extract and move/copy the repaired clnylist.dat file into the directory where you previously installed the char gen software ( replacing the older flawed data file, with the same name).

Ben Aaronovitch's International Brigade, which was discussed on the 2300ad mailing list in 1999, and is now online.  In the months since getting Ben's permission to host this, his email address has changed.  Does anyone have his newest one?  If so, please contact me.

Newmark's Scouts is now available on both the 2300AD magazine articles page, and the 2300 AD articles from The Travellers' Digest magazine page ( as well as cross-linked into other sections of this website) .  Thank you Roger!!!!!!

Terry Kuchta helped by scanning and OCRing it for me .  Thank you Terry!

I now have enough German-speaking volunteers helping me with my German names list ( see my request on the 19th).  Thank you all for your quick responses.

DGP's The Travellers' Digest magazine's 2300AD articles are here!!!!!

After nearly three years of requesting to host this material ( since March of 1997), my patience and persistance have been rewarded.  My thanks to Roger Sanger, owner of DGP ( which owns the copyrights on these articles), for granting permission for me to host the 2300 AD articles from DGP's The Travellers' Digest magazine on my website.

Seventeen of them are now online ( the remaining two will follow soon).   You can find them on both the 2300AD magazine articles page, and the 2300 AD articles from The Travellers' Digest magazine page ( as well as cross-linked into other sections of this website).

Thank you Roger!!!!!!

For some strange reason, I never scanned three of the articles back in 1997 for my own private personal use ( keyword searches etc, plus to have the raw text ready to HTML when Roger said yes).  My scanner is currently down, but Terry Kuchta came to my assistance with scans of these three ( one is in the current bunch, the other two are the ones that will follow).  Thank you Terry!

The Name lists for characters and ships page now has a new external link.  It is to Rachel Kronick's excellent article on Chinese [Mandarin] Names for Gamers, which includes an excellent pronunciation guide .  Thank you Rachel!

There is also an updated URL for the extremely helpful Eponym: International Names website.

Does anyone speak German?  I have a list of German names that I need some volunteers to look over for errors ( I am sure there are some missing umlauts).  If you can help, please contact me.
