Sorry if I came on a bit strong earlier. Given how enthusiastic the members of this forum are about DC I wasn't happy that it appeared have been bypassed, or at least that's how it seemed to me at the time. I now fully appreciate that wasn't anyone's intention and apologise if I've needlessly offended anybody.

I am truly glad to see that the DC material is available once more. I am going to direct my younger gaming mates in FFE's and DTRPG's direction forthwith so they can see why my GM mind is so warped :P

It's great that the Minon Hunter games are on the cds too. I can also do with Sin City but I already own the other stuff.

I have just been reading through the DC Guides that FFE have made available from their website and spotted something in the section detailing the Challenge magazine articles for DC:

"78- Flashback. unpublished. The PCs, now alone, stand back-to-back to face the final assault in the temple ruins.
78- The Shroud. unpublished. Can the PCs recover the mysterious shroud stolen from an alien corpse?"

I once spent literally months trying to track these down for Demonground without success, so I'm really looking forward to seeing them at long last!
Along with the lost promo video this makes three things I had never seen or heard of, and I have been described as a DC guru by others in the past :?

I remember seeing that in the "next issue" page of Challenge (may not even have been the last one) and being quite intrigued.

Minion Hunter would be a bit of a bugger to print out though?

I wish they would be able to include the old PC game of Minion Hunter. I've been digging around for that forever.

The PC version of Minion Hunter - good luck with your search. It never even got mentioned here in Australia and it's only because of the net that I heard about it.
Does anyone remember the online Dark Conspiracy game that I think was from some offshoot of Tantalus?
