Years ago, between TFT being out of print and my own fat wad of house rules, 
I decided to write up a "TFT private edition" incorporating all my house rules 
and producing something I could print out and hand to new players. Later I 
decided to do a second "private edition," with even more modifications to better 
suit my own style and better fit my own game-world of Etan. This I've renamed 
"System Etan" and it will be finished Real Soon Now. 

You can find both the old "TFT Private Edition" and parts of the new "System 
Etan" on my aol homepage: http://members.aol.com/erolb1/etan.html

I'm willing to contribute these to the effort, with the older "private 
edition" being more useful if you want to duplicate the original. It will still need 
a going over, to remove any of my own house rules that the Group Mind here 
would want to reject, and also to rewrite any places where I copied 
word-for-word from the Metagaming edition rather than recasting things in my own words 
(not too many of those, IIRC, but some). If people are interested, I can send the 
Word documents which would be easier for people to edit than the pdf files on 
my website.
