    Best Modern Game System

    cant be the same then as what i recall is skill and skill groups, both having an effect on the test, and skills and skill groups having cost ladders (when past point X in skill the next Y levels of skill costs Z pr level and so on) that while having the same basic rules, would sometimes be...

    "modern arsenal"? are you refering to weapons locker? if so, those two books seems to cover much the same stuff (going so far as to stat the same guns allmost the same). with the primary difference being some feats and ammo rules (i have browsed both but do not own any of them).

    New Bullet Points - Future Gadgets

    interesting answer to the non-lethal damage question at the end there. and the mecha gadget one seems to back me up about mecha weapons being usable outside of a mecha ;) guess i have my anti mecha weapons right there...

    so why didn't you use the term "before" rather then "ahead"?

    d20 Future and Hard SF - some random thoughts

    iirc, "we" used cold sleep ships until we encountered the mimbari and managed to trade for jump gate tech (most likely from some rogue, low ranking aristocrat). i kinda recall a episode where a lost sleeper ship comes into B5 space or something like that. with only 2 survivors and a very alien...

    What's comind for d20 Mod from WotC?

    that a book is unnecessary have never stopped wotc from printing them in the past. just look at ogl cybernet and d20 cyberscape for example. while i have not looked at blood and vigilance, m&m cant be fitted into a normal d20 modern/future setting. so i hope that d20 spectaculars will be a...

    d20 Future and Hard SF - some random thoughts

    trying to put star wars under the sci-fi headers is just wrong, if i can use that word. there are little or no attempt made at explaining how something works in star wars. the sabers use a special kind of crystal and some vague energy source, the hyperdrive is at best vaguely explained, and so...

    d20 Future and Hard SF - some random thoughts

    the problem isnt acceleration itself, but that to get to anywhere near light speed in a usefull timeframe would basicly put any living beings under so many G's that they would be crushed. still, i have read a suggestion about a kind of space bubble. so that rather then accelerating a craft and...

    My new favorite Star Wars era!

    i guess the problem with doing that for WOTC is that it sounds like a moving target. ie, they risk having a writeup ready and then have some release from the story writers that trows a wrench into the works. other problem is revealing to much in a rpg book. so it may show up, if WOTC still...
