Hi!

That would be a good idea. As part of certain races fluff a detailed account of the sector of space may prove a good addition and gives us a lot of lee-way. I'll certainly take whatever stories you go to start a database on it.

  sounds like a plan to me, I wrote a few short GW stories years ago, dunno what happend to them. But I have spent enough time disscussing fluff to knock something together.

  Ever thought about doing like BFG and basing the fluff around a specific sector to allow you to go into a lot of detail??

    Hi!

    Many a time we have changed "official" GW background to suit our needs. Some have even gone as far as to attempt to write our own version. Fluff was always a cool component of reading the old rulebooks and I would like to be a part again someday. This has an application beyond mere entertainment for netepic, since I may start to fulfill a long thought about project. Producing a full color version of Net Epic. A version with fluff, short stories intercalated in the text and pictures, just like the old AT books. Of course to avoid copyright issues (as always) I would prefer a background made by us. This is not to say it needs to be all that different from "official" sources, but done in our own words and with our own touch. Especially doing races like the Squats (all but abandoned by GW), Slann (according to our fluff) and now the Tau. Its a large project, but I think fun, since people could flesh out things not even GW has done.

    If there is interest let me know, so we could start some initial discussions.

    Don't worry about the Tau and DE, the Tau will be reposted for discussion and seems closer than the DE to conclusion. The DE needs more decision-making on everyones part since there are several variants for the same units running around.

    Besides these the only thing that I still owe the group are the net epic army cards for titans, which I finally mustered some resolve to finish. Other cards such as optional units and the slann must await suitably painted minis for completion, unless list members have some painted already <wink, wink, hint, hint>.

    Peter
