Comments: Very interesting, imaginative and creative. I particularly like the format of your history on the earth before the colonization of other planets takes place. Seems that you are being very thorough with your history. I applaud you. I am writing for another group about the everyday individual and what they do in an age of nanotechnology, picotechnology and femotechnology.

Comments: This is the best RPG SciFi setting I've seen. When are you going to post some character-generation rules? I'd also like to see some information on how 'ordinary' people spend their time and earn a living. Also, what is the basis of the TransNats' power in a society in which production has been devolved to the individual level? Rich: I don't have a game system at all yet - I've been playing around with some ideas, but I'd rather write background in the limited amount of time I have for Ad Astra. I'll try to write something about ordinary people's lives sooner or later, but I'm very busy at the moment so it might take a while. The transnats fiercely protect their intellectual property - state-of-the-art consumer goods produced in corporate factories have extensive anti-copying nanodefences. You can only make products in your own autofactories if you have the designs - either because the factory itself can design the product (for really simple things), the design is public domain, or you can disassemble an example.

Comments: Man! You guys are definitely awsome! I have a BBS in the works called Ad Astra (To the stars!), and use it to end all of my letters. I would LOVE to play this game (and work on the book if I had the chance). Maybe, if you ask me, I could send you some of my sci-fi (I am more a a technical-minded writer). I use MUCH of the same setting for Earth as you do. Brin and Niven are my favorite authors, and thus I have inherited some of their vision of the future. But, of all things, I need nanotech in my futures. For the Earth, though, I use a magtrain in vacuum-tubing, and call it the ETS (Earth Transit System), and also have the LATS (Local Area Transit System), and LATS Craft, etc etc etc. Alright, I don't want to fill up your guest book, so I'll stop writing. Write me if you want, Rich and Dave. - Aaron Oliver (torpid@hotmail.com)

Comments: It is a very very interesting site, one of my favorites, keep up the good work. Why does almost all of your planets have more atmospere than Earth ?.

Comments: This is probably the most believable game I've seen. Please don't abandon this project - it has so much potential!

Comments: Clearly the work of a dangerous lunatic. Why must so many people die just to s tisfy the plot? I can see through your ill-concieved plans for global dominion; I will oppose you every step of the way.
