Hussar's latest activity

I'd much rather, in a simulationist leaning game, that the DM's narration was actually connected to the fiction of the game than...

To be fair, it depends on a lot of factors. How long is your ship, for example? Depending on how fast you are accelerating, different...

A good rule of thumb for writing SF is that you are allowed one "gimme" IOW, the writer is allowed to break science without having to...

As best I can tell, @Hussar is relying on widespread consensus that RuneQuest, Rolemaster, Chivalry & Sorcery, HERO, GURPS and the like...

Yep. Indeed, FTL is hardly the only subject where that applies. The question one needs to ask oneself is there, "If I cannot write...

When one is doing a math test, one is doing science. Being able to show your work is the basic, fundamental principle of maths or sciences.

The speed of light is very much NOT relative to the observer. The speed of light is a universal constant. That's the POINT of the...

"Personal requirements"? That's a bit rich. I mean, saying that a simulationist system should actually simulate something shouldn't be...

I've answered this before but, okay. A Dodge/Parry roll in combat rules is a simple rule. It clearly demonstrates how the mechanics...

And thus, you failed to understand basic scientific method. The whole point of making you "show your work" is because that's the...

How does my skill make the rope fray and cut? That's an interesting representation of me being hungry. I'm hungry, so, I don't climb...
