Updated the file with a couple of sample characters; plus I added REP to the worksheet and added in a couple more intelligence officer exploits.

I just noticed while looking through this book, the Spartans aren't on the age category table on page 57, a little bit funny when the Androids, who have no actual age categories, are on it .

Darnit! They're in the previous (August) playtest doc. Just take the ranges below adult and above middle-aged. I'll update this one tomorrow!

I'm very excited for this game. I hope Hero Lab will eventually support it.

They won't do it themselves; I asked a year ago during the Kickstarter. It'll all be open content, though, so any fans (or third party publishers) will be welcome to make or sell data packs.

I have been all over the place looking for a good universal RPG. I've gone through GURPS (too crunchy), Savage Worlds (not crunchy enough), and even Silhouette CORE (oh god, no NOOOO!) and nothing satisfies. Crossing my fingers; so far it looks great. I LOVE the Burning Wheel-esque organic char-gen. Currently working on an HTML char builder. It's a lot of work, but I feel like it's firming up.

Morrus, I can't express how giddy I got seeing that NOW preview. Klingons, Jedi, and Gun Kata = best kitchen sink ever made. EVER. MADE.

Thanks! I think the combinations are going to create some really fun builds!

Our go-to sci-fi game right now is a hodge-podge of West End's d6 Star Wars, Heavy Gear, with magic, jedi, and gun kata. It's completely over the top, ridiculous fun. It's also extremely ad hoc and cumbersome. OLD+NOW+NEW looks like a perfect fit for our gaming group.
