    I have the same feeling, every time I go down into the game room. Had some visitors this past weekend who had the very same reaction.

    I'm sure they could even have some they have some semi-aquatic cousins somewhere...Hopefully they are not related to the Nyaggá!!!

    Enjoy,

    PS Great name...Anything similar on Tekumel Uncle?
    Lots and lots of things, most of which we really tried very had to avoid, and which Phil had met in his travels to the coasts of South Asia.

    The Nyagga are mammals, by the way, and their DNA is compatible with human DNA. Contemplate that, for a few moments...

    Hello Uncle,

    Just a follow-up question with regard to the Nyagga. I was reading about the "trade" agreement they have with some humans. Just wondering what kinds of things could the Nyagga want...??? Besides the obvious poor sacrificial lambs(DNA and all)!!!

    Having traded with them, we found them quite easy to deal with. Metal objects / tools / weapons; chlen stuff, as they can't get that; glass objects/utensils were all things we traded them In return, we got some very nice jewelry, nicely-worked objects, and some very valuable bits from the bottom of Lake Parunal. Oh, and also safe passage for our ship across the lake.

    Probably a damn good thing they don't also make a D-7.

    However, I have SERIOUSLY considered getting a few of the 1/1000 models (the scale of the old AMT one) and dusting off my copy of Unca Lou's "Star Fleet Battle Manual" for GaryCon.

    I used to have that! I remember having those cut-outs on the floor all over the house!

    It's a natural human reaction, isn't it?

    Somehow, this factoid reminds me of a HPL story!
    Trading with the Nyagga might be a good idea, though.
    "Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward." - Rocky

    Yep. I used to have, once upon a time, a squadron of both the 1/1000 D-7s and 'Constitution-class' starships all mounted on black bases with three-foot high metal rods. And a black drop cloth air-brushed with stars, and a set of very nice asteroids. And a huge set of the old Zocchi small ships as well, for table-top games. Them was the days, they was...

    It is, I think, and frankly what I am looking for. As I have mentioned in this thread and other places, I'm mostly a builder of things and what I game for is to see the amazed reaction of players to what I build. Nowadays, I have digital photos and the Internet, so I can get the same reaction. If anybody wants to organize up a game, we'll talk, but I get my jollies from the comments section...

    You're supposed to. Phil was very right up front about this, having been an HPL fan starting in the 1940s.

    Yep. Keeps the water out of the boat, it does.
