        Like I said, I would be just as happy creating a percentile system
along the lines of the original.  AH has the last word, as far as that
goes.  They may like the idea of a completely different system or they may
want something much closer to the original.  I don't expect to hear from
them for another week or two.
        I'm beginning to think that a system can be built that will reflect
the original closely and still prove to be appealing to a wider variety of
gamers.  If AH gives me a blanket go-ahead with the project, I'll build a
New, Improved (With More Cleaning Power) version of the rules with the
20/100 system I mentioned.  With the rules sets being polished and running
smoothly, I doubt they'd mind the difference between the proposal model and
the completed design.
