Well, this has been a long time coming. Since the last time I updated my
list, I have moved, purchased a new computer, installed FreeBSD UNIX on the
old 386, changed my UUCP name, and acquired a WWW page. My archives have
also been extensively rearranged and lots of files have been renamed.
What all this means for you, the reader, is that my mail server is now better
than ever (since it is running on a dedicated machine that supports long
filenames), and there will be a version of this list always available for
your HTML viewing pleasure.
Also, TSR has decided to regulate the Internet, as they apparently believe
that people freely exchanging information about their games will somehow
result in *less* interest in TSR products, and therefore reduced revenues.
As a result, there are many things that were previously easily available
from my archives, but now are not.
This set of postings is distinct from the previous list I compiled, in that
this only attempts to list those files that are available through my mail
server, whereas the original listed the contents of several major FTP sites
as well. I simply do not have the time to allocate to the task of catching
up with all the changes (I haven't actually visited an RPG FTP site in
probably 18 months).
Volume 2 of this set of postings lists only fiction. Volume 3 lists other
RPG related material. Not everything that I have archived is on here; much
is of limited interest, and not worth the bandwidth it would take to list
it all. You can, however, request directory listings that will show you all
the nitty gritty.
Also, there is a lot of "incoming" stuff that I have saved but not yet sorted
out; I am working through this and hope to have most of the good stuff
organized by the end of the summer. Updated lists will be posted periodically
and will also be available from my WWW page.
Each item has a pathname associated with it. If the item is in a single file,
the pathname will specify the file. If the item is in multiple files, standard
UNIX wildcards will be used (ie. fiction/navero/*). In some cases (ie. the
Tabolport archives), there may be subdirectories, which I do not differentiate
from normal files (ie. campaign/tabolport/*).
If you want anything from this list, there are several things you can try:
1) Attempt to contact the author. Most people that posted or uploaded these
things like to know that there is interest out there, and this way you can
let them know. I'm sure many of the addresses are now wrong, however.
2) Using your web browser, look up http://www.hookup.net/~gschmidt/sams/
which will give you access to my mail server help file, as well as the
latest version of these lists.
3) If you don't have web access, you can obtain the help file by sending mail
to sams-help@trawna.UUCP (or hookup.net!trawna!sams-help until the former
has worked its way through the UUCP maps).
Legend:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Still in progress (latest episode number may be wrong)
~ Incomplete/outdated collection
+ Co-exists with other files in archive (you have to get the file, and then
extract the portion(s) you want)
Notes:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o For all fiction, if there was only one part, no number is given; otherwise
the part numbers are given. Anything else is labelled descriptively.
o If anyone can fill in any blanks, or provide newer email addresses for some
of the authors listed (many are quite old), please let me know.
o If there is something you would like to see archived here, please send it
to news@trawna.UUCP (or hookup.net!trawna!news) and I will consider it.
o I do not vouch for the quality of anything contained in my archives.
