Tacticular Cancer: We'll have your balls

  1. Having trouble staying logged in? Note: We are rpgcodex.NET not .COM. Trying to login via .com will cause issues. Make sure you are on rpgcodex.net to login and all will be fine.

    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

    "This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    Yes, from the very-dead L. Ron. Hubbard himself. Came out in 1996, bundled with a copy of his book. I had bought it for my father and can't remember anything from it beyond landing on the surface of a technicolor planet inside an egg-shaped vessel. And my father saying it was crap. Sounds fascinating, doesn't it?

    Well, it seems I'm the only one to know of this, if Google can be trusted (this is the only result of note, out of whole 1s and 10s):
    http://www.worldcat.org/title/battl...year-3000/oclc/49361416&referer=brief_results

    Aside from a Library of Congress entry, anyway.

    Anyone else know of it?

    The lack of replies are almost as disheartening as the lack of search results.

    Uh-uh. Scientology, conspiracy, cult, lol. None of that appears relevant or anymore useful than what I've found (or had to dig up on an elementary school project regarding their beliefs). Don't give a fuck.

    I'm just interested in the game itself. (And just so we're clear, I'm not talking about their shit little virtual bible from the early millennium.)

    Scientology and all religion: banal, shit, boring.

    Unloved and dead account. It serves only as buffer of crap.

    Shouldn't the Church of Scientology have something on this? Contact them?

    Have. No reply past the initial "We'll see" from Galaxy Press. Will harass Author Services (the copyright holder and parent company of Galaxy/Bridge) later this week.

    If the Internet is to be judged on results found between 1995 and 1999, though, it would appear they don't want it to be found!

    I wonder if it's a "Star Wars Holiday Special" thing, where it was such an embarrassment that they tried to destroy all copies. Or perhaps just garbage that was forgotten. Well, worst case scenario just look at the copy in the Library of Congress.

    The book is adequate, I was 9 and knew he liked that sort of book.

    Revenge works too, though.
