This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Ron Randall's Trekker

Does anyone recollect Ron Randall's Trekker from old Dark Horse Comics back in the mid-'80s? I recently rediscovered it when I came across a nice thick omnibus edition collecting the old comics under two covers, and the found there was a slim new volume called "The Train to Avalon Bay." The art is beautiful on every page and the sci fi world Mr. Randall has imagined is pretty cool: gritty without being grim, "realistic" and feels lived in, and the technology isn't crazy Wahoo magic. It reminds me a little bit of Blade Runner In a good way.  In fact, when I was reading it I thought, "Why, this could be a fairly cool basis for a Traveller campaign."

Not familiar with it but I like the art and panelling.

Cool, I didn't know he was doing instalments online for free. Hope he collects them as books.
