We have met many at the conventions in Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane who remember playing Hunter Planet back in the late 1980’s and 1990’s. When they probably should have been studying!

Cancon 2026 was an amazing experience! Over the course of three days we ran 26 games for 64 players! It was a refreshing mix of role-players: very experienced, complete novices and occasional gamers. We even reconnected with players fondly remembering games they played of Hunter Planet in the late 1980’s. (Or as it is sometimes…

Advanced D&D was the first roleplaying game most of us played. I probably should finish reading it one day. Rummaging through some old files I found my copy of the Advanced D&D Dungeon Masters Guide. Back in the mid 1980’s this new roleplaying thing was all the rage so I picked up a copy. I…
