I remember on the old boards there had been some discussion about "Sorcerer & Space" as a supplement to go alongside the other three. I think there was some nifty concept art and everything.

Whatever happened to this project? I ask because it seems to me like scifi is a genre not yet explored to its fullest in the Sorcerer rulebooks, yet there is a lot of great literature to go with it.

Hi Marv,

Sorcerer & Space was a project by Mike Holmes back in 2001-2002, a mini-supplement as I called them then. It was completely under his control. He decided not to finish it, or didn't finish it, whatever, and as far as I know that's the end of the story.

Best, Ron

That's a shame. It would have looked nice next to the rest of my collection of Sorcerer products.

It's not the same thing, but you could be interested in "Traveller using Sorcerer & Sword"  : http://playsorcerer.wordpress.com/2008/09/28/75/

I completely forgot about Chris's Sorcerer/Traveller - it's so cool, I just have to read it again.

Thanks for the reminder!

I have a rough draft of the game that I had sent to Ron for comments. He returned it, and I edited it several times into really good shape... and then I lost the edits somehow (and Ron's notes). To this day I have no idea what happened to it. And since then I haven't had the energy to revisit it, the loss was so demoralizing. Unfortunately that's an issue with how I design, that I simply don't accomplish much unless I'm really enthused about the project in question.
