Hmm, I’ve recieved a mysterious and anonymous invitation from something called The Dystopian Collective, “a group of free-thinking roleplayers who play and write material for various role-playing games, usually of a dystopian nature. This includes material for SLA Industries and Call of Cthulhu, amongst others. We have been role-playing for 20+ years and feel that at least some of our ideas may be of value to others.”
Anyone know who is behind this? I’m not really interested in dystopian role-playing myself, but it sounds like a worthy enterprise, so three cheers for them.

Looking at the Disclaimer page, I’d hazard a guess at “Richard Extall and Marc Fairclough” (of whom it was once said “who?”)
Not heard of either of them, afaicr. They invited me using a non-public-work-related email address, though, so seems like they know me in some sense. Intriguing!
Hmm – the default RPGSoc email account got one too. I know some of your pages are linked on the rpgsoc website – maybe a non-public email address has escaped onto there (let me know if it has – I’m currently Netrep!)
However, I have heard things about The Dystopian Collective. I was going to say ‘good’ things, but it’s more of a ‘Oops, I just spent all day clicking links and reading things on TDC’ – your call as to whether that’s good or bad 😉
Aha, indeed so, well spotted!
If on this page: http://users.ox.ac.uk/~rpgsoc/links.htm you could please change the email link under my name to info@undyingking.com, that would be very kind.
(Also, I really should supply some new copy for that para, as it’s at least 11 years out of date!)
Done!
I keep meaning to do an update for that page… ah well!
Thank you!
I say steer well clear, if only due to the criminal use of an apostrophe, on their website.
Or perhaps that’s their idea of dystopia.
Yike’s!
