Rumored RPGs

         The following are role-playing games which I have only a name and possibly a company name for, but no solid information. They might well exist, but the information I have is so sketchy that I hesitate to put them in the full list. Before I put a "rumor" onto the full list, I would generally like to have at least 2 out of 3 of: author(s), publication date, and decent description (i.e. more than a few words).

         Many of the below are from the Usenet Complete RPG List. Since a few entries in that list were pretty much wrong, I will not put these in until I get more information on them. Please email me if you can tell me more about any of these.


 - "American Excess" (Fantasy Chronicles)

 - "Anywhen Universal RP" (K Society)
    Universal system supposedly used by two games ("Fireland" and
    "Imperial Earth") advertised in _Dragon_ from '82 - '84.
    Unclear if it was ever released in any form.

    Listed as Sci-fi Combat genre in Usenet list
    also has conspiracy cyberpunk elements
    never actually released ??

    but I have no idea what sort of game it is.
