Re: Unknown Dragon Star Trek Game.

Cheers for the listing Briza. Pretty interesting... Three slightly different versions, from very different places, all based on the exact same code. Mine is almost exactly the same as the archive version, the main difference being mine asks if instructions are required before entering the skill leve...

Re: Unknown Dragon Star Trek Game.

Cool to see this version as I played it a lot when I was a kid.

Re: news feed

That looks good to me Pere.

I notice you have two 'Proves' accounts. It should be possible to put all your feeds into one account if that is your preference.

Re: news feed

Hello Pere, If you don't already have one, you first need to add a 'Feeds' account to your list of accounts. Then right-click on the account and select 'Subscribe...'. This should bring up a dialog where you can add a news feed. Paste the link into the box 'Feed URL' then click 'Add' I can send you ...

Re: Dragon Meetup 2021 - November 27th/28th

Excellent news, I shall be looking forward to that!

Not wishing to sound pessimistic, but I'm guessing the virus situation will be worse than it is now, due to kids back at school. Happy to wear a mask and/or spend time chatting in the car park if that's what it takes :)
