There’s a full bibliography here: http://www.geocities.com/area51/stargate/4991/bnw/biblio.htm

Looks to me like the only one you’re missing is Covenant.

Can I just first say that I’ve just started back into BNW after quite some time from it and I’d honestly forgotten how good a game it was (Unfortunatley I had some really bad players (read Crap but I didn’t want to swear) and it’s been sitting on my shelf for about 4 years) and thanks for all the hard work you put into it. The back plot that you’ve posted has really opened my eyes to what your intentions were.
Now for the meat of my question.
Been going through the books and want to know if I’ve got all of them.
I’ve got:-
2 copies of the original main rule book published under Pinnacle
Power Shield
Ravaged Planet
Glory Days
Defiants
Bargainers
Crescent City
Evil Unlimited
Delta Prime
Is that it or is there more. Apologies if this should have been somewhere else.

Thanks for the kind note. I have to admit that BNW is so far in my rear-view mirror at the moment that I don’t recall the exact answers to those questions. If you can help with a few gentle prods to my memory, I might be able to produce something though.

1) Who was Ben Archer again? If you can provide a book and page reference, that would help a lot. I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I don’t recall specific details about something I wrote six years back.

2) For the Covenant, I probably went with similar powers to keep things simple. I knew I’d only have a single book for all of that. If I’d have had more space and time, I might have done other books for the various major religions in the world and given each of them their own flavor.

I’m sure there were alphas who were part of the Covenant, but I never had any solid rules for alphas of any sort. I’d suspect a Covenant alpha would have some serious powers, probably to heal with a touch, discern the truth, perhaps immunity to damage (to turn the other cheek) or at least a strong healing factor (to keep coming back from the dead).

I hope that helps!
