Every system has it's problems, but not every system gets it's solutions. Poison is too deadly! (Yeah, we get a that a lot. We're gradually toning it down, but it'll take a few editions to filter through)What effect does a neutral cleric have on undead (depends who they worship)Can I heat darts I threw at a creature (yes, but if it has hands free it'll probably remove them pronto)Do all agents have a licence to kill? (no)What happens if you stack Tracers? (diminishing returns does eventually set in, but it takes a while)Can I get a bionic limb to replace one I lost in the course of play? (Not yet. We may add them in a supplement though.)What equipment do gamma world characters start with? (Buy the next edition to find out! :teeth ting<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Can Robots get mutated? (No, but they can be indirectly affected by the mutations of others.) Top Secret Gadget Contest Results: Another thing they set up earlier finally bears fruit. 10 of the best spy gadgets human ingenuity could come up with. More than half of them would work in reality, and 2 or 3 of them not only exist, but are both cheaper and better than the prices and specs given here due to the advances in miniaturised computer technology. It's always amusing when you see sci-fi that was too conservative in it's predictions of the future. One of the runners-up is an extremely young Matt Forbeck, who didn't become an official WotC employee until 2005, and is still working with them at the time I write this. So this article is not only good reading, but historically significant as well. You never know when something is going to pay off, way down the line. Keep sending those submissions in, even if they get rejected.Dawn Patrol: As with Star Frontiers, this is a straight promotional article for the new edition, aimed at new readers of the newszine with no experience of wargaming. They're playing up the campaign side of things, with advancement for the pilots, and possibly even recurring enemies if you don't shoot them all down. They've also stepped up the general quality of the production values as well, as TSR is now bigger, and can hire better artists and printing presses. If you weren't into it before, now is the perfect time to start! It does feel like they're fighting against the tide somewhat, trying to keep their wargames alive by adding more RPG elements because the RPG's are selling many orders of magnitude more. Still, at least they're going out swinging in a way that's interesting to see, even if I know it's futile in the long run.</blockquote>
