What's New? Not much of anything, a whole lot of fanfare for no real new info (except maybe the 8450 Mission Technic set).

(...) There is a 5th skill which is moderately valueable, but you can get away with, which I would treat as separate: technogeek. I would actually argue that the technogeek is what was allowed to wag the dog here. (25 years ago, 18-Oct-99, to lugnet.publish)

Distinguish "technical" from "technogeek" ? I'd argue that technogeek is NOT needed unless geeks are your audience, and even then, they appreciate speed and simplicity too. (25 years ago, 18-Oct-99, to lugnet.publish)
