from firearms to phahsers

[tanis]

I have allways wondered if anyone has made up new guns for use. I am making a campaign were a ship from another futristic planet crashs near a small town and the adventurers go to check it out were they are attacked by aliens with futristic guns. (please contribute to this thread with anything on aliens you like).

If you are just looking for made-up firearms, you'll probably have better luck over in the firearms thread. If you are looking for rules on firearms (particularly futuristic ones), take a look in the DMG. There are rules in there for laser weapons and such.

Do you know the link to the firearms thread? It sounds interesting.... I can't seem to find the damn thing.

You could also steal the rules from d20 Star Wars.

Yep, although those weapons are modified to work with a Vitality Point system (i.e., the crit ranges on them are very limited.) And if you are ok with that, or with a little conversion work, Dragonstar or D20 Future might strike your fancy as well.

Check into Iron Kingdoms for more gunpowder based weapons.

where could I find ironkingdoms?

As for spaceships with D&D, have you seen the AD&D module Expedition to the Barrier Peaks? There's an excellent 3.5 conversion of it.

I was thinking Dragonstar.
