Hey,
I came across an RPGnet thread during a search that led me here. I'm Matt Esget, the author of Black Ops. I'm on the list of people being sought on the freelance list. I'd love to get in touch with ICE again - My email is esget at hotmail if you would like to have a conversation about the publishing rights.
Edit: Sorry, I meant RPGnet, instead of RPGNow.com
