Thanks :) I just thought of that and came back to post it, but you beat me to it. :) Well, back to dinner. :p

Athletics calculation Athletics looks wrong. Strength Mod: +3 Proficiency Bonus on Strength changes this to: +5 (that's the base of +3 added to the proficiency of +2) Proficient with Athletics (Str) should add another proficiency bonus to that for a total of +7, but it's only +2. 3+2+2=5 ...

traditions On the Prison tradition that has been mentioned. I agree that Prisoner would be a better name. Though it's Prerequisites seem to be rather stiff as virtually anyone can get tossed in jail for an extended period. Not likely to happen to Nobles, they usually get fined, exiled, or...

my unclear comments Thanks for the reply SniperFox. I've actually played a lot of games, especially ones that aren't in the class/level D&D mold. On the other hand, I've seen a lot of games have some rather messy arguments when something is vague. (Let's not talk about Whitewolf and their...

Skill questions and comment I understand that the list of skills is an incomplete list of suggested skills, though the ones listed for race and specific traditions is more than suggested. However, I do agree that they could use some description. Of course, the Rule Zero always applies, but...

Idea for a N.O.W. campaign. Just throwing something out there for folks to think about. N.O.W. campaign, Corporate Raiders. They say the business world is cutthroat. They don't know the half of it. When a deal goes bad, you've got to watch the bottom line and try to stay out of the red. So...

cool I was just wondering what it would be. Tricked out super rides does sound totally cool though. B-) Besides, now that I think about it, there really were a whole lot of special vehicles in those action shows, even the General Lee from Dukes of Hazard was more than your average sedan...

I'm totally jumping the gun here, but I thought I'd throw this out. O.L.D. has Strongholds N.E.W. has Starships N.O.W. has ??? I'd suggest Hangouts, Headquarters, or Safehouses. Exactly which you had would kind of match the campaign. After all, what good show didn't have someplace the...

Trait talk Taking a cue from numerous movies, the clumsy hero is rarely hit by sneak attacks and traps, he/she usually trips out of the way at just the exact right moment, etc. Also, good at taking a fall without getting hurt, or at least not seriously. Of course, they'll be tripping and...

Quality vs Quantity It's true that less experienced GMs and players will have little idea what makes a good balance, and some guidelines would help. Along those lines, don't just say X number of magic items, because the quality and function of those items is important. For example, let's say...

Steal steal a relevant quote... From the book "Another Day, Another Dungeon", when the dwarf was packing his gear and his companion asked him why he had a sectional 11' pole he replied, "Because there are some things even a Dwarf won't touch with a 10 foot pole." :D

Ignorant scum. He posted during lunch at work. So what. Do you expect him to read legal findings during lunch? Heck no, lunch is a time to eat and unwind a bit before going back to work. Only a dumb workaholic who doesn't care about totally eroding his efficiency obsesses about work during...

I've been in many campaigns that either allowed evil characters, or were evil campaigns specifically. It can work very well, but more often than not it doesn't. When if fails, it tends to go freaking nuclear meltdown. Evil campaigns have many become slaughter the town frenzies as the players...

Perilous Knight The card shows an image of a fully armored knight with his helmet askew and covering his eyes with his arms akimbo trying to catch his balance and about to fall off a cliff or large rock. Over the time until the next dawn, the person that drew this card will have to pass five...

It could have been worse, it could have been Ewe Boll. Admittedly, even that couldn't be a whole lot worse, but still.

Weights and Encumbrance They obviously intended to include encumbrance, since they have how much you can carry on page 77, but none of the regular gear has any weights listed except for the empty canteen at 1lb. Sure, if you have other D&D books, you can find the equivalents, but Gamma World...

Page 34: "... You gain a +2 bonus to overcharge rolls on Alpha powers that have the same power source as your primary origin..." Even though you get non-conflicting traits from both origins, in the case of conflicts and the bonus to overcharge rolls, you only get the ones from the Primary...
