Alternity?

Has anyone ever played the Pen and Paper Roleplaying game Alternity, by Bill Slavicsek and Richard Baker (TSR)?

Most havent heard of it since Dungeons and Dragons topped TSR's charts so Alternity didnt get very much fame.

Let me break it down...

Alternity is a game largely based on "What ifs..." What if this happened, what if that happened, and so on. It is a futuristic Science Fiction RPG, where you step into the boots of 5 different races, each spanning countless Career Paths and Jobs. You could be a mutant, a Telepath, or a powerful psyionics user. There are practically no limits, and it plays off of Dungeons and Dragons (actually ADnD) rules....

Well its hard for me to explain it in detail, but if you own the books you know what I'm talking about.

So the big question is, maybe in the near future (a month) would anyone be interested in seeing this as a Mod for WC3? I wouldnt actually lead the team, I would just want to see where it would go, and what would happen.

Anyone semi - interested? And let me know if you actually own the books.

I have some experience in Alternity. I acually bought the StarCraft Starter Set and stuff. Never acually played regular Alternity...

I would still like to help, though I'm working on about thirty different projects on my own.:D

theres a game similar to that, called Super Heros, takes place in future, TONS of races from mutants to skeletal aliens, lots of classes, like special classes and crap, great game, had a fun time playing it, its pretty much based on D&D though in the future with much more crap
