Wombat,

Re: "Tales of Arabian Nights" game, coincidentally that is a product
I've been looking for (the West End Games version)!  (I saw it once,
but it slipped through my fingers . . . )  Is the second edition that
you worked on soon-to-be-in-print or already out of print (since
I'm certain it isn't in print right now)?

But yes, alas, it is true--as of old, the Pyramid is built by slave
labor for the benefit of one man!  Can't complain about "truth in
advertising" here!

And have you seen "Fading Suns"?

The English version of the second edition of _Tales of the Arabian Nights_
is, unfortunately, in limbo right now. A German edition should be
forthcoming in 1999. Perhaps I will publish a samizdat translation of the
rules and components as an accessory....

The first-draft material for _GURPS New Sun_--is that still available on
the SJGames website?

No, I haven't. Do you recommend it, or do you just recommend it as a
curiosity?
