#1 DragonOfLight Sep 29, 2014 9:56:37	I wish I had known there was an "old games" forum here on Wizards.com. I would have brought this up several months ago. Back in June, I called Wizards directly and told them I'd like to see Alternity and d20 Modern released on DriveThruRPG. The guy I spoke with said to write in and it would get passed along to the right people. So I did. Dear Wizards, I'm writing to ask that you consider re-releasing the Alternity and d20 Modern game lines through DriveThruRPG similar to your recent releases of the 1st and 2nd editions of D&D. I have nearly the entire run of the Alternity game line (including the Quick-Play and Starcraft boxed sets). I'm only missing the three Dark Matter titles. However, my books are over ten years old and have seen extensive use (meaning they are faded and coming apart). I understand that a full retail release for a retired system is almost unheard of (though Mongoose re-released the 1st edition Traveller right down to the plain black covers) and even a print-on-demand model might not be justifiable from a business stand-point but downloadable PDFs would be a welcome sight (though Alternity is one of the few systems I would make room on my shelf for physical copies rather than just stick them on a tablet). There is still an active community here at http://www.alternityrpg.net/onlineforums/ March 3rd has been deemed Alternity Game Day and active participation and system promotion is encouraged. One member has run games at GenCon for the last several years, including 2 games slated for this years (http://www.alternityrpg.net/onlineforums/index.php?showtopic=10237) Thank you for taking time out to read this. Sincerely, {me}
