DMZ sucked HUGE!!!!!!!!!

The ONLY SR supplement I no longer own!!!!

VERY bad!!!!

Too slow, too lethal, and never captured the feel of SR for my tastes.
I'd love to see someone combine Necromunda/WH40K with SR!
I've tried it but the wepons and armor in 40K are SOoooo strong it's hard
to equate them with SR stats.

I never intended to do that. While I enjoy 40k/necro a lot, I find
that the rules are lacking in several areas. My intentions were more
along the lines of working up some wargame rules in the flavor of the
SR rules and world while using the necromunda scale and a few of the
innovative ideas in that world.

If there is an interest in such a thing, I may have to move it closer
to the top of the stack o' ideas to play with.
