Actually, Hi to everyone, since I've never formally done so. I've posted elsewhere on the site and about various topics.Love space sims, love space rpgs. I'm disappointed to have to put Privateer: the Reckoning on a shelf for now, but I've other things I'm working on as well. Pinback made the request for the "Traveller Traders" card and dice game I re-imagined and brought to the Thoth Engine. Here's the info and links:Don't know if folk have heard of Warpspawn Games ([url]http://www.angelfire.com/games2/warpspawn/[/url] or not, but they are a collective of card and board game enthusiasts and creators; all free for personal use and such. Several games found on the site have be adapted to the free card-game engine known as Thoth ([url]http://digilander.libero.it/zak965/thoth/[/url] game file is graciously hosted at The Traveller Freeport (http://www.travellerfreeport.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=30&func=select&id=23). You must have the Thoth game engine installed to play this. The game ruleset is "ruleset.pdf" found in the game file. At least have a look at the first 2 pages so the game screen make sense. The rules can be called-up during game play by pressing "F2". I am really pleased with the visual candy I put together for this game 
Take note, as mentioned at the end of the ruleset PDF, there are 2 expansions to this game. I'm looking at adding these expansions during 2010! Actually, I'm currently looking at adapting the expansion with the "Vassel" engine and make the game play more dynamic than just drawing cards...EnjoyPS: don't forget to have a look around the WarpSpawn game site, there are a lot of free Gems there- and look for other Thoth conversions too!

I'm looking at the Vassel engine at the moment for the expanded rule-set and hoping to make card-draws automatic as well as adding more freedom for the player/user.Thanks!
