Hi all,
Just found this somewhere on the web:
Seems like somebody was not above stealing a popular TSR name... 
Yours,
Rafael

Interesting!
I wonder if there was anything else of Blackmoorish interest in that game?

 Welcome to the boards and thank you for the info! I think I even know that book, but of course under a German title.
Now that I think of it, this page here would have helped me right at the start:

Do you happen to have any playing experience with the game, Frank?
Since I remember to have liked Jack Chalker's books when I was younger,
this might be worth a look for me if it's playable. |

Gaah... I never knew that there was an RPG about this, which happens to be one of my all-time favorite SF series. 
@Rafi: The books were published in Germany under the title "Die Sechseck-Welt" by Goldmann paperbacks. The books command exorbitantly high prices among collectors though because they only printed one edition of it IIRC. If you can get it, it's well worth its price and chock full of ideas for every campaign. I even wrote a D&D module inspired by this many years ago. |

I think I read through one at a local library many years ago, or at least had it in my hands... I remember it was pretty interesting, and that I liked it, but only a few things more... |

Never played the game, I think I browsed it a bit but that's all. I just remembered the existence of the game.

From TAG Industries iirc, early or mid 1980s.
(TAG for Tim A. Green, company founder; in Ohio, USA; short-lived but they did a few interesting things.) |
