Moving forward: Right on brother!
Question: is Mr. Dew interested in expanding "Legends" into something that
would serve as "TFT 2"? Is Dark City well enough funded to launch it if
they
are interested? Is there a fan infrastructure yet for a *unified* new
rules
set regarding stacked skills, pole weapons fixes and so on?
BTW, I glanced at the Wikipedia entry for Howard Thompson, kudos to
whoever
put that together. I wonder if we could get him or his son to contribute
more from his own view?

That's the beauty of using Heroscape tiles, you can rearrange them
however you want to create any type of battlefield. And once you flock
them they look even better. (That is if you've got the time and the
desire to do it.)
I never really played Melee with counters. A couple of members of my
gaming group in college had some painted Minifigs and we played using
them. We used hex paper and dry erase markers to draw in walls, doors,
etc. As far as visual appeal the miniatures helped set the scene more
than the flat counters. That led me into wanting to do more as I got
older. The Games Workshop people looked like they were having fun
making great looking terrain so I set out to do the same thing for
Melee. Who's to say, maybe if Metagaming had stayed around this would
have been the direction Melee/Wizards would have evolved into.
That leads me to the point of my web site. It's not so much there to
talk about the glory days of TFT and the history involved, other sites
cover that well enough. I want to continue to move forward with the
game, much as George Dew is doing with his new published scenarios from
Dark City Games (please support his efforts if you haven't already by
picking up one of his scenarios). Perhaps we can start the revolution
and bring this game back from the dead by interesting new people
(especially the Games Workshop folks, hell, they've already got a ton
of miniatures) into trying it. To do so it has to have modern, visual
appeal. I've been on the Heroscape boards a lot of late and already
have a few converts to Melee. Perhaps my web site will reach even more.
