I published a version of it in 2008, but, for many reasons, I wasn't entirely happy with it and have been working over the last year or more to produce a revision that looks and reads the way I always wanted it to. The game itself is heavily inspired by the sci-fi of the '50s through '70s and those inspirations are primarily literary in character. So, think Anderson, Asimov, Chandler, and Piper and you're not far off. <br /><br />I'm not sure I'd call it an "old school" game but it's definitely a traditional one. There are, for example, action points in the game that allow players limited control over the results of their dice rolls but that's the extent of its newfangledness. <i>Thousand Suns</i> is my take on the genre of "imperial science fiction" and all that that implies.James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-78353454233077641442011-11-23T11:21:52.957-05:002011-11-23T11:21:52.957-05:00i am a pretty recent reader of your blog, can you ...i am a pretty recent reader of your blog, can you explain a little bit of what "thousand suns" is?Jeremy "frothsof" Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04663928183049867947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-53579583140249668692011-11-23T10:55:54.069-05:002011-11-23T10:55:54.069-05:00I'm not an addict, Restless -- I'm a profe...<i>I'm not an addict, Restless -- I'm a professional.</i><br /><br>And I cannot tell you how grateful I am for that.James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-12415514846708089792011-11-23T10:47:33.901-05:002011-11-23T10:47:33.901-05:00I'm not an addict, Restless -- I'm a profe...I'm not an addict, Restless -- I'm a professional.Adam Juryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864768217464609515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-26928442160729510062011-11-23T08:55:46.066-05:002011-11-23T08:55:46.066-05:00I wish you the best of luck on this James.
