Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
I owned it bitd, but a great find these days. There is a three player scenario where one player can be Saruman and basically be the third party spoiler with an Orc horde.
ReplyDeleteI just flipped through the book. Holy 70's game design.

ReplyDeletePlayed that back in the day... Great memories...
ReplyDeleteMy first wargame. Played it solo; need to give the actual game a shot. Especially since I didn't understand the Sauron scanning mechanic.

ReplyDeleteIf this is for sale let me know :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't mean to entirely derail the thread, but I am wondering about the ethics of printing the not-legal-at-all PDF of this game that has been floating about the internet for years, and playing the game that way. I don't think I am ever going to be able to afford a copy. This work seems to be dead, never, ever to be reprinted.
ReplyDeleteHow much deference do I owe to the copyright owners? I definitely think that selling a copy on eBay is beyond the pale, but I wonder how different that would be from printing out my own copy and playing it?
Anyone care to enumerate the moral hazards involved?
Out of print for decades and for personal play, you're in the clear.
