Listen; I'm running up INTSUM soon (in the next week or so), but I'm still light on articles to put up there. Anything you'd like posted on a T2K (primarily MERC:2000) site (Which is what INTSUM's gonna be), will be happily accepted here! _________________________________________________ Cheers, Roger.

Hiya, Niklas; OK, here's full the requirement: Two overhead visible light aerial/satellite images, as follows: 1: Tropical Rainforest hillside, showing treetop cover (below ain't important). Clearing to lower part of hillside should show enough space to place a Helicopter for a landed insertion/extraction. Ideally, foot tracks/paths should be in evidence. Intended location: Somewhere in Belize or the South American rain forests. 2. Same general theme as (1) above, but detail is this time of a satellite ground station dish antennae farm. Detail should show the buildings CLEARLY, as if from a surveillance satellite during a clear day. In both cases, no text should be on the imagery - I can add that myself, to my own purposes. I don't particularly mind or care where the actual locations are, that the images come from, but they've got to look 'right', fi you see what I mean. >Do you need IR pictures or just regular pictures, I have done some IR-type >of images for my own senarios in MERC-SpecOps using PsPro 4.1 (they where >very good according to a guy who does look at such pics daily).

To everyone who've provided URL info to me thus far: Many thanks for the almost overwhelming amounts of URL data you've sent me. Unfortunately, the data on the sites that I've investigated so far, haven't been of the type of imagery that I've been looking for; Generally, they've held either listings of what I could purchase, or in the case of sites that actually have imagery on-line, the wrong sort of imagery has been available, either false-colour, or composite images. With this in mind, it's time to filter the info, if there's any left to send me (I hope!). The props I have in mind for the adventure comprise two black-and-white visible light photographs, ideally as follows: Two overhead visible light aerial/satellite images, as follows: 1: Tropical Rainforest hillside, showing treetop cover (what's below the tree canopy ain't important). Clearing to lower part of hillside should show enough space to place a Helicopter for a landed insertion/extraction. Ideally, foot tracks/paths should be in evidence. Intended location: Somewhere in Belize or the South American rain forests. 2. Tropical Rainforest, ideally depicting a hill top or ridge, but the detail is this time of a satellite ground station dish antennae farm. Detail should show the buildings CLEARLY, as if from a surveillance satellite during a clear, zero cloud cover, day. In both cases, no text should be on the imagery - I can add that myself, to my own purposes. I don't particularly mind or care where the actual locations are, that the images come from, but they've got to look 'right', if you see what I mean. The general theme of the adventure is to (a) track someone, and then (b) storm/infiltrate the ground station, as a final phase to the adventure. And that's as much as I can tell you without possibly letting one of my players know what's gonna happen, in case he subscribes to either of these lists...! For those of you that've provided all the information you have, thanks very much for your hard work, which is very much appreciated. To those of you with more info for me, please keep it coming. The more sites I check, the better the chances of me finding the imagery I'm looking for. So far, your results have been about 1000% more successful in terms of hard results than my own searches, so, please keep it coming!

I think most of our sites have links to everyone else. As for myself, I've thus far concentrated on Latin America (scenarios, equipment, OOBs etc.); I still have a *lot* of work to do on this. Sometime in the distant future I wanted to expand on the brief references to East Africa (Ethiopia, Somalia) in the RDF Sourcebook and elsewhere.

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for about a month, and I thought it was time to introduce myself... Name: Robin Ohlsson Age: 24 Location: Saffle, Sweden Occupation: Mech. engineer Hobbies: RPGs in general, martial arts (mainly Wado Ryu Karate) I discovered T2000 about six or seven years ago, but we have only just begun playing 'seriously' this autumn... 'Better late than never', huh?? As I have way too much to do at work, I have little time to write adventures of my own, so I'll probably stick to the GDW adventures, but using the 2:nd ed rules. My group just finished Last Submarine and we'll continue with Mediterrenean Cruise any day now. What fascinates me about T2000 is that even though the game is very militaristic in style, the plots of the adventures are *very* complex... This bothered me at first, but I soon realised that there is more to role playing than shootouts :) So... how can I contribute to this list? Well... there's been talk about web ring - great idea! - however, I don't think I have time left for that :( However, I own the following adventures, and I'd be happy to answer any questions etc about them. (I also have access to a scanner at work.) Last Sub 1,2,3 Rendez-vouz in Krakow (2nd ed) Castle by the Sea (2:nd ed) Bear's Den King's Ransom Gateway to the Spanish Main Urban Guerilla Airlords of the Ozarks Allegheny Uprising Red Star/Lone Star Kidnapped Howling Wilderness City of Angels Infantry Weapons of the World (2:nd ed) Heavy Weapons guide (2:nd ed) Special Ops (2:nd ed) Finally, a question: Does anyone have a list of all T2000 modules/adventures, perhaps even one in chronological order (game time, that is)? re/ Robin (FireFist on IRC/undernet, ICQ 5502799) robin.ohlsson@btg.se ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Jan 1998 10:37:26 EST From: CardSharks@aol.com Subject: Re: Satellite photos In a message dated 98-01-29 01:28:38 EST, you write: << If anyone is looking for satellite photos it would be quite easy to make something that looks like one in any good paint program...

Photocopies of the artwork, You bet. I'll trade copies of the artwork from any T2K/M2K module/book I've got for the scanned text. It saves me from scanning them myself.

Anyway these are the ones I have: Return to Warsaw (i also turned this into a Red Alert map) White Eagle Boomer Castle by the Sea Infantry Weapons of the World Soviet Vehicle Guide RDF sourcebook Going Home CardSharks@aol.com wrote: > > In a message dated 98-01-29 18:15:34 EST, you write: > > << Does anyone have a list of all T2000 > > modules/adventures, perhaps even one in chronological order (game > > time, that is)? >> > > * RULES SETS > Twilight: 2000 Book > > * Supplements And Adventures 1st Edition > Free City of Krakow > Pirates of the Vistula > The Ruins of Warsaw > Red Star / Lone Star > Allegheny Uprising > Spanish Main > Urban Guerrilla > The Last Submarine > Kidnapped > Howling Wilderness > Mediterranean Cruise > Boomer > Satellite Down > Return To Warsaw > Bear's Den > Survivor's Guide to the UK > White Eagle > Armies of the Night > The Black Madonna > RDF Sourcebook > > * Supplements And Adventures 2nd Edition > Infantry Weapons of the World > American Combat Vehicles Handbook > Soviet Combat Vehicles Handbook > Merc: 2000 > Bangkok > NATO Combat Vehicle Handbook > Gazeteer (for Merc: 2000) > Nautical/Aviation Handbook > Twilight Nightmares > Heavy Weapons Handbook > Special Operations > Castle by the Sea > Referee's Screen > Operation Crouching Dragon - -- Peter Vieth Fitek@ix.netcom.com IGZ Handle: Fitek ICQ UIN: 3660410 Web page: http://www.netcom.com/~Fitek/index.html Apocalypse Software E-mail: Apocalypsesw@rocketmail.com Apocalypse Software web page: http://www.keast.com/apocalypse ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Jan 1998 23:07:04 EST From: KAPPAABZ@aol.com Subject: Re: New list member...

I am not aware (or just don't remember) any other licensed modules. Paragon did a Twilight: 2000 computer game.

I don't think there are others in English, but there are foreign language publications which are missing from the list, e.g. three booklets in Finnish (special forces, a Nordic countries sourcebook, and an adventure set in Finland). Of course, these are irrelevant to most T2k players. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Jan 1998 22:37:44 +1030 (CST) From: John Rowe Subject: Re: Product list... > Jeffrey P.

Of course, these are irrelevant to most T2k players. Wow! Those sound really interesting. Has anyone done an English translation, or is one in the offing? The Finnish Special Forces and the Nordic Sourcebook, in particular, would be very interesting.

The Finnish Special Forces and the > Nordic Sourcebook, in particular, would be very interesting. No translation, none in the offing. The SpecForces book is not on Finland only, but on a variety of SpecForces on both sides of the war. It was mainly useful for 1st ed., as it vastly expanded the range of characters one could make. It was published right when 2nd ed came out, so it had char gen for 1st ed., but included also the 2nd ed stats for weapons and such. - -- Have fun, Matt ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Jan 1998 19:19:03 -0800 From: Saul Basgen Subject: Re: T2K Websites... >Does anyone out there have a list of T2K/Merc related websites? > >I'm thinking of putting one up, but I dont' want to recap anyone else's >ideas... >Mitch Berg >Humanware Design - www.humanwaredesign.com We're working on that right now Mitch.

OK, folks; After a LONG absence, INTSUM is back, but only in rough form. Currently, the only content is a breif overview of the Twilight system, with emphasis on Merc:200, and an adventure for Merc:2000, "Belizian Bust Up". Anyone wishing to have articles posted onto the site should e-mail me, and I'll do the necessary. Future items to be posted to the page include links (VERY soon - this was a bit of a rush job - I noticed my self-imposed deadline had arrived!), fictional intelligence summaries, a resources page, and whatever else I can cram in there. Later, folks! _________________________________________________ Cheers, Roger. MURPHY was a bloody optimist. It Always goes wrong.

TW Nightmares may well have a Predator adventure... unfortunately, I've bloody LOST my copy, so couldn't check on that... neverthe less, it's there, so that's that! The links page should be up within the next couple of days; I'm currently sifting through my existing links on the geocities site, and removing the non-T2K references. Which reminds me... If ANYONE with a twilight site could let me have their URLs, I'd appreciate it; all URLs will, hopefuly, be listed... As and when the twilight webring gets up and running, INTSUM will be on there, as well! Later! _________________________________________________ Cheers, Roger. MURPHY was a bloody optimist.

Well, if you have to lose a copy of some T2k product, Nightmares is probably the best one to lose! Although with the success of The X-Files, I would assume that now one can find a number of people who love/would love it! As a matter of curiosity, have you noticed that as a rule T2k products have the name of the lead designer on the cover. Nightmares doesn't -- nobody wanted to own up to the fact that they were responsible for it! (just one take of the matter, in good humor :-) ) ------------------------------ End of twilight2000-digest V1998 #4 ***********************************
