I had enjoyed the 2300ad RPG alot. It was my default hard sci-fi campaign setting for a very long time. And i use to be a member of the many yahoo groups, until i got fed up with the people who selectively chose the things in canon they loved while ignoring the things that went against their own home-brew campaigns. I even had started two webpages for the game. A canon German Federal Republic page for the Grand Game II, and a website dedicated to My own version of 2300ad that inculded all of the changes to the history thanks to how the Twilight Wars ended...

The primary changes had been in the geography since the T2k campaign we ran when i was in the service had ran the game up to 2050... And our characters had become major players in the post-Twiligth War period, and helped shape the post-war world.

One example was Germany breaking into three post-war 'nation-states'... that was more acurately three defense allainces that brought the many German states together for defensive purposes only... Not acutal centralized federal governments. Another change was the Flemish state of Belgium regaining it's indepdences as Flanders, the German states getting back the Rhineland, and the creation of a 'buffer-state' in the form of Allacse-Lorraine that inculded Luxembourgh.

All in all my 2300ad was alot more in the spirit of the canon setting than what we've seen with the birth of the new 2320ad RPG that was to have been an update of the setting since the writer of the thing chose to follow the example of those who chose to only recognize those aspects of the game they wanted while ignoring the rest...

if you want to create a 2300ad forum i wouldn't mind. i'd post the notes i still have for the game on the major (and minor) Terran powers that exist in the known human explored space.
