This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

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....=20

The first-draft material for _GURPS New Sun_--is that still available on
the SJGames website?=20

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