Meanwhile, Malcolm, who
goes under the alternative
name of Master of Powers.
claims he is the son of Khaos
and Sirena in the Mythology of
the planet Ultima. Having put
in several years work, he is
offering the information on his
many file cards and essays to
any adventure writer who
would find it useful. All this is
in the interest of consistency,
to get the history right in
future games, explains
Malcolm, who with his offer is
relinquishing any copyright to
his notes. So write in to me if
you want to be put in touch
with the Master of Powers!

simple if you are playing it on

dark room. But it hasn't
helped him getting past the
triffid — any offers?
