Design help

Greetings all;

        I am a new list member who has returned to roleplaying after an
8 year hiatus for work, family, etc.   I was disturbed to learn that
T$R has not produce SJ since 93/94 but I found some good info on the net
that helps alot!!

        Now on to my questions;  Can anyone out there help me with
getting started DM'ing a new SJ campagain?  When I played before, I very
rarely DM'd and then that was usually one of the pre-made adventures!
Any help at all in getting started/restarted in the realms of wildspace
would be greatly appreciated. Especially tips on design, DM'ing,
continuity, etc. As I said this campagain design is a new animal to me
and my new group of players have less exp than me!

2. Is it just me or is the list real quiet now?  Did I miss
something?(besides the last 8 years, and T$R being BUTTHEADS about
legalese)

OBTW: I have basic SJ and the War Captains Companion and  a few of the  modules/sources but very few.

thanks in advance
