[The Yosemite Bear]

ok add links for Lensmen, Pulp Heroes, Amberites, Mooties, Drakka, any common group that people frequently ask questions about.


Edit.

Oh yeah Bob Mc Dob please post your FAQ on Wing Commander here, thank you.

[weemadando]

So who were we talking about again? The Amberites, a group of immortal beings who inhabit the one true realm, of which all other "shadows" are but mere imitations. They are gods above the gods, but suffer from the same human frailties of emotion and power-lust.

..the phrase 'dressed to kill' is actually a warning about the
person in question.


..you hesitate to take a trump call because it might not be a family
member, then you decide not to take the contact at all, because it

invading Swayvill's home.

Interesting site but the tech stuff is mostly conjecture and some is just plain wrong. Still, the site is pretty interesting and the chat boards usually got some good discussion.

Rundown of Warhammer 40K

[constantine]

This is the best site I've found for 40K info:

http://www.criticalhit.co.uk/w40krp/appendix.shtml

[constantine]

Sorry about that, I forgot I wasn't supposed to direct link that.

If a MOD could change that?

[Rogue 9]

I don't see why direct linking to that site would be a problem. Normally we don't direct link to sites/boards that have members who might come to harass us if the link is traced, but I don't see why that would be a problem with the Warhammer 40K site.
