    N.E.W. Playtest Document [July 2014]

    :) I don't think I've seen anything like that so it's probably free P98. In the example Sasha need to get 2d for her aim P108 in its entirety is just pure awesomeness. Spent the last 5 minutes just making up techno babble and giggling...my wife thinks I'm going mad. Also cutting back to P74 age...

    N.E.W. Playtest Document [July 2014]

    Next little batch all to do with the atribute exploits...have I told you enoug how neat I think they are? They are NEAT! Big fan. P80 brilliant exploit - sharp and analytical sound more like LOG than INT. P81 inspiring. You sometimes use the singular "they" instead of he/she. Is this the...

    N.E.W. Playtest Document [July 2014]

    Thank you, I should have kept my opinion to another thread and focused on findings :) P74 age exploits: I've got some questions here, but they refer to other rules that I haven't read this time around yet, so will come back to this! P75 android and other ageless beings don't get an age...

    N.E.W. Playtest Document [July 2014]

    P26 ogrons smell bad, this is represented by low charisma, but it isn't low P60 starbase assignment is not repeatable, but you can get reassigned to it on a roll of 1 or 2 Other observations: P62 I love the jed....oh wait no STAR knight ;) Psionics. I still don't like the very VERY limited...

    N.E.W. Playtest Document [July 2014]

    Started reading the document from scratch as if I'd never read the older ones (on holiday so loads of time ahhhh) I will keep updating when I find things: P11 scaling, no reference to how big the scaling is, used to be ~x10 didn't it? P15. Sherlock has intellect instead of logic in the example...

    Looking for exploding dice?

    I backed this project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/customgamelab/custom-game-dice-you-design They intend to set up a laser printing service for custom dice. You could get exploding dice that have your characters image etched in to it...now that is awesome :)

    Progress on N.E.W.

    Confucius say: "no wisdom? Thank the spirits for Morrus' wisdom!" empathy under INT is nice

    Progress on N.E.W.

    They are good changes. My initial gut reaction to what the stats encompass: (might be way off here) Intuition - game wise used for random ideas, on the spot knowledge, searching/spotting. Logic - calculations and research knowledge. Pattern recognition, hacking/programming. Wisdom - ehhhh...

    Progress on N.E.W.

    Morrus, please end the suspense! What is the big one? oh and I love the new stats, and all that comes with them. new sheet looks sleeker as well. the social defense is a good optional extra that I would love to see. Also just to give target numbers for skills used against a character. In some...

    Playtest game - May document

    Good read :) a couple of remarks re skills and ranks though. 1: you can take a skill a maximum of times equal to your tier. So you can only take the same skill again once you get to d8s 2: skills and atributes are going to change once the next beta documents are uploaded :)

    O.L.D. & N.E.W. Errata Thread

    It was asked somewhere else :) The answer from Morrus was that it's going to be changed so that it works like in old. Which I think is the right way to do it :)

    Running a starship combat

    Hehe yes, it probably can't be written often enough, should be in all combat sections of all books :p Ive now personally finished designing a small armada of space ships so can start playing some space battles. To spice things up a little bit more I've expanded on the advanced shield rules a...

    Running a starship combat

    This is good stuff. I like the "terrain" ideas to spice up combat, and to make sure that there is a goal. The goal bit is a bit of a through line to most RPG combats though isn't it :)

    Playtest Feedback (6/3)

    Without having tried higher tier games, it does seem neater to keep at the d6s. It also means the group doesn't have to invest in 70odd small size d8s (everyone likes to have their own dice) and can use the very normal small sized d6s that comes in packets of 45. For the less math savvy it's...

    Form fillable Star Ship sheet

    I took the liberty of making the Starship Sheet form fillable. Its not a perfect job by far, but it works for me, and others might find it useful. I added a couple of boxes, namely a "current superstructure" and "SHIELD" (if you use the advanced shield rules). I did not add a Velocity box as we...

    Educator Career Tree

    I like these. I tried to make some ordinary people with the Careers already in the playtest, and it was hard not making them "adventurers". So good to have some more civilised options as a supplement.

    Career/Tradition question

    Then again, if your campaign supports it you COULD use the years. I got inspired for my next space opera campaign by the kickstarter video and is going to use the following rules: XP can be used for all the normal uses (skills, atributes etc) except for gaining careers. Players gain a "free"...

    Character creation feedback (May)

    Oh! One thing I forgot to say in my initial post: unless you start as a human talent or Venetian there is no way you can become a psyker as all the careers that offer +psi has a prereq of 2+ psi. Don't think that is intended. i got around it by lowering the psychic career to prereq 1+ psi.
