Could the Spikehead be a reference to the Mugato from Star Trek?

I forget that the "men's armor/women's armor" thing can be played just as badly with "men's space suit/women's space suit."

Using someone else's trademark or registered trademark in the promotion (advertising, title, obvious copy on the cover a book, etc,) of your own competing product can be a serious no-no. I'm not sure if this case would qualify, because I am not a lawyer.

That sounds great. You should put up a gallery of them somewhere.

Amen to this. In many forms of art.

Is there even a way to get that legally still? I tried contacting two emails at the publisher and one was a boilerplate redirecting me to email other addresses and the other said the address I tried to contact didn't exist. EDIT: Ignore, looks like it's still at DriveThruRPG.

That's helpful. Mention of the ships looking like the Terran Trade Authority ones has me interested (has come up here a lot recently). I'm sort of interested in the time dilation effects stuff, as I wanted to use that in a future anime robot campaign, but more as a background tool.

Hah! But in that case it was Interplay selling them rights they didn't have to Fallout, and them having to pivot and rebrand the product at the last minute, right? EDIT: Ooof, they didn't pivot very hard, did they?

It's very different. It's Traveler with just one L.

I do wonder if "not everyone has a D12" is much of an argument when you can get them for pennies (or maybe even a whole dollar post tariff) rapidly from multiple online sites (or locally, if you have a game store), even in multiple colors or your choice of two different types of dodecahedron.

In fact, the range of any spaceborne weapon is effectively "infinite" barring detection ranges and evasive maneuvers. The book "Succession" (aka the two books "The Risen Empire" and "Killing of Worlds") has some interesting ideas for space weaponry. One of the best was a bunch of very small...

12 is also cleanly divisible by 3. For whatever that's worth.

Oh, this could be good. I have some ideas for a corporate conspiracy horror campaign based on The Stuff, Halloween III, the 1980s Blob and a few others.

I'm just amazed it's taken this long. There was an obvious market for this as far back as the 90s.
