I'll have to hunt that up. I didn't think *anything* other than the original game rulebook ever came out.It kinda blew my mind that Columbia Games, the publisher of Harn, would be the source of a new edition.It's funny that the idea of space stations being the only things left after Earth is a mess is kind of a major plot point in the Netflix series 'The 100'.The original cyberpunk RPG had some really good modules and at least one of them took place on a space station.As pointed out, it's a great TL8-10 inspiration and source of ideas even if you don't follow the entire setting.TomBOn Mon, Dec 7, 2020 at 11:34 PM Cheng Tseng <xxxxxx@kennett.net> wrote:Talk about going a way back. The only thing I ever seen about High Colonies was a single adventure that was published in one of the later issues of Challenge back in the day. Never thought I would see the game referred to again.C.T.

Something awful had happened to Earth and the survivors were all in various habs and around the system. The setting was interesting because back then, there weren't Earth based solar system games that I recall in the RPG space.
I'm glad you mentioned this; I have both the original rules and the new rules, and both of them are rather excellent, especially given the page count they had to work with. After reading and playing the game "back in the day" and then reading Christopher Hinz's Paratwa trilogy, I have to wonder if the game didn't inspire him to some degree on how he developed the world of the trilogy.
If for nothing else, it's worth the investment if you're interested in running a TL-8/10ish relatively hard science (when it comes to ships and travel) game.--
