I know that FGU has been selling my old V&V adventures (Pentacle Plot, Deeps of Space, Opponents Unlimited), but haven't only not gotten a royalty check since 1987, but haven't heard anything from Scott since 1991. Really, it is the latter that ticks me off more. I don't need the money any more, but utter silence from a publisher who got me my start in the industry is kind of annoying.

I am really not all that motivated to go farther. I wouldn't mind getting the rights back so maybe Jeff & Jack could republish them, but only if it wasn't too much trouble. Rewriting that stuff would mean REALLY rewriting them. I wrote that stuff on a TYPEWRITER.
Not sure if you know it or not, but Jeff Dee & Jack Herman are trying to contact you. Shoot me a PM, and I'll give you the contact info.
