It may be totally out of line, but I just took a look at the Classic Battletech Alternate Mercenary Force craetion worksheets.

And well, one form (Mercenary Force Roster) is designated: SR 3070.

. . .

Coincidence?

I sure hope this doesn't mean SR is to suffer the same fate as Battletech ...

Well,

as we are out of line already, what is it with "Dark Eye"? Is this the first try at translating "Das schwarze Auge" or did I just fail to notice it until now?

BTW the translation of the title sucks even more than the original german title (just my 2 cents).

Hey, don't diss DSA, it was a decent system. Now, the recently overhauled edition, that's a whole other story ...

Actually, "The Dark Eye" has been around since IIRC early 2004 or late 2003.

As I'm not really an active DSA player:
What's wrong with DSA4? At least the new point-based character creation is a quantum leap compared to the terribly outdated dice-rolling/class-picking way of DSA3.

True, but they completely raped the game world, which, at least for me, is much more important than how stats are handled.

Borbaradian Lands, sheesh ...
