    :)  You might be proud to know you were the inspiration for that...;)
(After the Jammers visited Numelidor, I couldn't get the image of softly
glowing radiant ship ala Lord of the Rings out of my head).

    Me too...I thought about making the Ciriath-Sinda a recent development
(like within the last decade), but decided against it.  Might as well give
it a bit of history and birthright culture...;)

    Playelf centerfolds, especially the Evermeet edition...;p

    Ah crude...<grumble>...no, there's supposed to be just one helmroom;
must have missed it; I kinda wrote part of it, put it down for a week, then
finished it up.  But that at least gives me another room to put more cool
officers in there.

    LOL!!  Well, given I kinda modeled them with a 'Down Periscope'
mentality, I didn't much worry about making them high level.  Add to that I
used it to learn the Hackmaster system, so I didn't want to make them too
high a level to start with so I wouldn't get in over my head.
