If you have Sci-Fi, they have a show about Jules Verne - it's not very good story-wise, but there's some decent special effects; it features things like giant airships, an underground drilling vehicle, a hover tank, a robot, etc. Also, Disney is (...)

Info for folks: At the last NELUG meeting (5-15-01), it was suggested that an upcomming BrikWars game be set in a world of pumped-up past technology. The game has possibly been scheduled for the 4th weekend in June. Possibly to be at Jorge's house. (...) (23 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

Well, ever since I heard it, I've been mildly obsessed with the idea of BrikWars: Steampunk. While I've got all kinds of ideas floating around, I want -nay, *need*- to know if the plan involves any of the more "fantastic" weapon ideas. Airships, (...)
