Hi - about to start a SciFi game and, in the first encounter, the PCs are suddenly put in Zero G. This is fine for those PCs (two of the five) that have astronaut training (Spacewalker exploit), but what would be the effect - game mechanically - on the three "ground grippers"? My initial...

I've looked on Roll20 and cannot find anything for WOIN. Is anyone using Roll20 for WOIN?? I use Roll20 all the time for my 5E campaigns and I'd like to use it for WOIN given the tactical / map-based combat approach. Is there a v1.2 compatible character sheet anywhere out there (I can't find one)?

So I got my group together Friday evening to run through the short intro adventure at the back of the NOW book using four of the Alpha Team pregens... Things were going well - though I need to do a cheat sheet for the Combat process! - until they started to engage the Heavy Gunner in the first...

Hi I am about to start running my group through a campaign in a setting that sits between NOW and NEW - i.e. the near future. However, though we are all experienced RPGers, neither they or I have ever played WOIN before. So, two questions: 1) Is there a "quick start" game out there for NOW to...
