I wasn't expecting such an, erm, cold reception. It wasn't as if I wanted the thing for free… Ah well.

er we should have probably warned you the reaction you might have got there, sorry.

Well, it looks like that permission probably won't be forthcoming. I'm not interested in provoking old flame wars, but I'm still disappointed. I will muddle through with the rules as they stand, I guess.

Thanks,Steve, for all the work you did on SA. It's a great program, in service to a game I wish I'd found sooner.

Thanks, Steve. I've emailed Marvin in hopes of arranging something. :)

Hi All,

I'm just wondering whether anything ever came of the 3E unified rules beyond the tantalizing bits in the uTM? I realize the development was stopped at some point, but was hoping, perhaps, that some way might be found to release them now that SDS has been selling 3E itself for a while. The UTM has new sections on communications, survey and a few other things, and I was wondering how those integrated into the whole of the rules.

I've been enjoying a new game with SFA for a while, and would love to have an easier rules reference as compared to the mishmash of 3E material that exists now.

The Unified Rules project was 99%+ completed. I think the only outstanding item was the numbering on the contents page. I have a copy (as do about 30 other people from the third edition design group) but unfortunately I am not allowed to distribute it. Happy to send you a copy (or post on here) if you can get Marvin Lamb to agree to it.
