My vote is yes, in fact i would broaden it to say any materials recognisable as in the T&T family ie also Starfaring, Power Trip etc should be considered for publication in the zine.

Ah, Zanshin, your wisdom extends beyond breaking skulls...
Although, I would suggest we keep it to games that are available from sources other than "that company"/"that guy" to keep TZ free of any baggage...
T&T and MSPE are readily available, PowerTrip, Starfaring etc. aren't.
On that topic, PowerTrip is really more of a great idea than an actual game - it's a work in progress that got printed and sold as a regular game. Starfaring is best played whilst wearing an orange jump suit with fasteners at the back and after imbibing large quantities of illegal substances. Man it is weird...
Hand me another slice of the purple Krishna crystal cake Mr. Sulu...

Once Kopfys New Khazan gets released I would see stuff for that (T&T , in spaaaaaaace!) as excellent potential material.
Or alternate treatments on playing other genres with the T&T rules. Very broad powerful talents - Flying, Lifting Big objects, Laser Eyes etc could probably get you there.
But I digress...

I will qualify my vote of 'yes' by saying 'if it is available'. I don't think a section be dedicated to it yet.

In favour of it being included if there are articles submitted for it, but as feldrik suggests, it shouldn't necessarily be a regular feature. If people are willing to write sufficient MSPE items though, I don't object to it becoming a regular part of the magazine.

Total yes vote. and if anyone can write anything about actually playing Starfaring, I would so love to read that! Has anyone??? I had a copy of it a while back (lost in a theft), and yeah - wow! What a bizzare game!
The only other potential stretch I can see would be KSA's Stormbringer (man I love the demon stuff from that game!) - maybe just extra copyright attribution (Chaosium) or something...

Rag, I played Ken's Stormbringer for YEARS. Love it, it's not T&T though.

I got to run 3 or 4 sessions of Stormbringer back-in-the-day - it's a goodie!
BTW - not trying to talk trash about Starfaring - you have to admit, it's a strange game in concept and in details. I remember I tried to incorporate Tri-Tac's Incursion! game to hammer out some more technical details, but that game's strange state just further complicated things. Somebody that has a copy of it should run a game here, so we can see what it's like... as it stands now, I can't image say, reading a 'campaign journal' from Starfaring...

To be quite honest, I think we should consider any quality article that would be of interest to the likely readers. If someone wants to do an MSPE or T&T supers or New Khazan article and its good, i would urge the editor of issue 2 to give it strong consideration
I think we have a load of good artwork, and a number of things lined up for issue 2, but still need yet more material.
Get writing guys and gals! Like the garbage demon in skolari vaults, Trollzine needs feeding!

A mini revival of MSPE would be a good thing.

I agree in principle and 2 months ago I would have wholeheartedly agreed but there are those who would say that to provide support for a product that is only available illegally supports the crime and the criminals. That's my 2 cents worth. Given recent events TZ should probably hold the moral high ground. |

A mini revival of MSPE would be a good thing. I agree. MS&PE is one of those outstanding games that "flies under the radar" and nobody seems to know about it or play it. Some sort of kick-start would be great! |

That said, i was having a read of JJB's 4th Edition Reboot and now i find myself thinking, could we do that with MS&PE?? |

MSPE is still available from the original publisher (albeit the defunct Slueth print) so although fresh copies aren't popping out of the press, I think it still counts as being 'in print' and therefore not... 'dead'.
