readers, attention!Are you looking desperately for the old GMP editions to complete a collection? In our experience, here is your best shot: Copies often change hands there, although it's also true they don't change hands cheaply. In recent years, since the DreamCraft editions have been published, the price of an original GMP Death's Head is around US$80 - $100 ... which is an improvement on the price years ago, then it wa 4-5 times that high! Incidentally, when you buy a Mel Keegan title second hand, via an eBay trader, from a link on this site — Mel Keegan will earn a royalty, which is extremely appropriate. A new window will open; search on 'Mel Keegan,' and you'll see what's available at this time. NOTE: few people auction their MK titles, so the first result in your search results window is almost certainly going to be be '0 results for Mel Keegan.' Don't be deterred: scroll down to the Ebay Stores. At the time of this upload, for example, you could buy four MK titles, including both the GMP editions of Death's Head and Equinox, at very reasonable prices! Happy shopping ... and good luck! (Tell us how you go.)

Welcome to the NARC Page ... Jarrat and Stone live here!


To get the most out of this site, please make sure you have Flash turned ON (Flash Player 6 or better). If you need to download Flash Player, get it now and then ... enjoy!

From the Webmaster

We've been promising this sub-site for several eons, and it's finally online. If you've been with us for a couple of years, you've probably given up waiting for us to get this done. But you'll also know, it was originally intended to be Shockwaved, but (right on cue), numerous people, ourselves included, began experiencing very nasty problems with Shockwave, both in IE and Opera. One day Shockwave worked fine, the next, we accepted a bunch of upgrades for Internet Explorer, and wham! Shockwave didn't plug in properly any longer. You got an icon informing you there was a plugin there, but it never downloaded. We spend a lot of time (all of it fruitless) on the Shockwave developers support site, and then surrendered. In fact, we switched to Flash.

Rebuilding the NARC site in Flash was, on the face of it, very doable, and the problems were more visual than technical. The fact is, though, the problems are real, they're inherent in the way Flash works, and there's no way to get around them. Even today, the web is text-driven. Sure, we all jazz up with pictures and animations, but the truth is, webpages are fundamentally about reading. And here's your down-side: the way Flash displays text, expecially small text (which is necessary for large bodies of reading), is not so good. It often has a fuzzy look about it, which can be hard on the eyes, even if it wasn't butt-ugly (which it is).

Now, we just worked our tails off to make the master site Lynx-compatible, for the benefit of visually challenged users. Having done this, why would we promptly take the NARC site and feed the text into a Flash movie, where text browsers and text-to-voice applications can't see a word?! (Click here for more on our text-to-voice compatibility ... and if you know someone who needs this, please do share our URL!)

Obviously, we wouldn't, and didn't. So, for the third time, we returned to the drawing board and redesigned the whole thing. This version works. It's text plus graphics plus animations, all so closely interwoven, they should appear seamless. Clever (we hope!), practical, and Lynx-accessible.

Please enjoy this sub-site, and if you can spare a moment to send us some feedback, we'd be more than grateful!
