View Full Version : Greetings from Loren Wiseman
If anyone here says "Who is Loren Wiseman?" I direct them to look at the contents page of any of the GDW T2K books. I was line Manager for Twilight: 2000 when it was published by GDW, and wrote a lot of stuff.
So whuts all this then?

Hey! It's that guy who rejected the Twilight 2000 articles I submitted to Challenge Magazine... oh my god... was it really 20 YEARS AGO?
I was going to be all mad and indignant about your rejection of my articles... but then I just felt old.

Welcome! What we really appreciate is insights into how the project came about and what you have been doing lately. And where can I send all that cash I made on the empties that we drank late into the night why playing your masterpiece!

Welcome,
and thank you for your part in creating Twilight 2000. Although it had a few quirks, I found it to be a chillingly realistic portrayal of something that fortunately hasn't happened (yet).
Any thoughts on Twilight 2013? In a few years that'll be outdated too. Maybe they should just throw caution to the wind and move straight on to TW 2100, with droids, supermutants and powerarmour.:p

Welcome, Mr. Wiseman (may I call you Loren?). Thank you for your part in creating this quaint little game that we all love so much.
I picked up my first T2K boxed set in '86, at the age of 11. My interest waned during my college years but I never forgot about it. I rediscovered T2K about 5 years ago when I found this board's direct predecessor and I've never looked back. I currently GM and play online.

Welcome, and thank you. It was Twilight:2000 that really taught me how to be a GM.

Welcome back to the club of us old-timers and a whole host of "newer" fans of Twilight, Loren! Good to see you back and posting! Hope to read more comments from you on all things Twilight. :)

(Underscore mine) I see you didn't let it discourage you. : )

I'll try to work it into my schedule.
Mr Wiseman (or may I call you Loren?)
You (and everyone else) may do so, unless you think it might cause me to be confused with Legbreaker's daughter . . . Loren is the most common male spelling (Lauren the most common female one) but I have encountered two female Lorens in my day, so it is a true mark of distinction.

And she's an extremely intelligent 9 year old too. Maybe it's all in the spelling? :S

welcome Loren!
I still remember on a previous incarnation of this forum, someone new to T2k thought you were a female.

Hey, welcome back, IIRC, I haven't seen your postings since the days of the old forum. Sniff, everytime I think of that old forum, I miss T.R's. posts, if you do remember him, Mr. Wiseman (may I call you Loren?), he passed on in 2006. :( BUt it is good to have you back and it is cool to have the input of one of the creators here. BTW, are you involved in Twilight: 2013?
Chuck
welcome Loren!
I still remember on a previous incarnation of this forum, someone new to T2k thought you were a female.
Used to happen a lot. Happened on Traveller and other forums as well, and a few times at conventions (when the mistake was immediately obvious).
BTW, are you involved in Twilight: 2013?
Nope.

hey Loren, are you in contact with Frank Chadwick? if so, tell him to drop by this forum.

Hi Loren,
We're having a good discussion over in the 'Players and Equipment' thread about initial allocations to 'purchase' gear at the start of a game. If you have time I'd be interested to hear your insight behind the rationale you arrived at in deciding how the initial equipment allocation 'budget' was arrived at.
P.S. - Believe it or not I'm a newcomer to T2K and a group of friends and I are getting ready to launch a new campaign, really enjoying it! Thanks for a great game!
Cheers,
Brandon
