FREE GAME: Free Stars

[Spalls Hurgenson]

Okay, this one is actually both more and less exciting than it sounds.

Less, because a) this isn't a special offer that you gotta
run to take advantage of, and b) because the game was free
before; it just had another name. Essentially, this is just
"Star Control 2" (remember that classic?) with a new title,
forced upon it due to various legal issues. Still, the game is
still well regarded (despite its age) and it being free is
just icing on the cake.

So, free game and Star Control is back; that's cool. Grab it today, or
tomorrow, or whenever. But grab it. It's an excellent DOS-era game
with some nice modern QOL flourishes, and it wants to be in your
library.

Did I just post this to the wrong newsgroup?

Why, yes, I did.

Sorry about that. Ignore it. I'm sure it will find its way to the
right place on its own.

I rolled a 14 on my save vs spells. Also, I casually remind the DM
that I'm the only one who brought any snacks for the group today. ;-)
