TheHistorian wrote:No, not really. No significant changes. We could try to line up the supplements to an exact edition, but there is little point, IMHO. Depending which side of the fence you're on, that lack of change is either a great strength or a great weakness.And there are several more editions of the core rules to be added to that list:1E has two printings3E exists as both a box set and a hardcover4E has two printingsafter 5E, there is 5.1E, 5.1.1E, 5.1.2E, and 5.2E5.1.1E also exists as a hardcoverthere is a 5.6.1E hardcoverthere are a few more limited versions of the 20th Anniv than just MULA6E exists as both a softcover and a hardcoverAnd there's a fair chance I'm forgetting at least one.

If you are interested in a particular RPG game or a periodical, it provides a perfect canvas for you to develop a web resource for that item. It would be great if someone, for example, wanted to help on the Gamma World pages:http://wiki.acaeum.com/wiki/Gallery:Gamma_WorldWe only have about 3 of 30 items up, but grubbiv's essay on artifact use charts has drawn many visitors and been linked to from other sites. http://wiki.acaeum.com/wiki/Essay:Gamma ... Use_ChartsSome of the lines on the Wiki are well developed, others are a work in progress. Ours is now one of the best resources for 1st edition MERP for example and we have an auction tracker tool that allows anyone to load in and then monitor auction sales for any items. http://wiki.acaeum.com/wiki/Gallery:MERPhttp://wiki.acaeum.com/wiki/Prices:MERPOur periodicals template allows us to create full indexes which can be re-arranged alphabetically, by author or type of article allowing for quick scanning of multiple issues. If anyone has ideas, suggestions or wants to work on the site let me know: [email protected]
