or take a page from spell jamemer. A wizard of a certain level depending on size, compulation, speed, etc... sits in a chair in a special room. he then expends raw magical energy to power the vessel. Like hes a battery, obviously a more higher powered wizard would be able to propel the vessel at...

"Magic" and nanites for a high tech game. Its all the explenation a DM needs to give. Maybe the magic is a closely garded secret. Its how the creators make their money and why would they want everyone to know how the spells work. No one questions magic, everyone simply knows that "magic" is what...

If your getting hit by arrows from 5-6 hundred yards you wouldnt have a clue as to where they were coming from as the arrow is coming almost straight down onto you, about the best you could do is it came from the south. And depending on the terrain it could be even harder to determine where the...

...dang, lost 2 more sanity points...

Really Awful Weapons I mean come on the shuriken used to do at least a d2-d4 depending on size. And the whip?! absolutely useless vs anyone with padded armor or better

Also a interesting quirk about traveller, if you took enough career paths and certain careers, you could end up with a starting character thats 60+ years old! Hey! you kids wait for granpa! (with apologies to the granpas out there, no offense intended) heck I love playing old wizards, best...

Any one know the name of the fantasy game that was based off of Arthurian Legend? Actually had rules for courting and gaining land and building your land and castles. Very in depth and quite fun.

one of the best career paths was going to prison, man you got all kinds of cool skills and contacts. I highly recommend it, HEY kids go to prison expand your career options! (worked for Martha Stewart)

sheesh thanks Psion didnt realise I was putting my finger into a hornets nest. Yes I was exagerating (not by much though :p) .

on the plus side it is fun to whomp on some low tech world with tactical neucular fighting knives, phaserlaserparticle pistols, sharp sticks and foul language.

Oh god traveller, lets spend 6 hours creating a character another 4 hours creating weapons, 18 hours making a ship, better hope you got someone who's got a doctorate in physics and a masters in mathematics, if not triple all those times. "OH NO WERE BEING ATTACKED! ok everyone call in sick for...

there are a ton of non-maistream games that dont use hp or levels (progression that is) I found that most games that are based our current era (give or take a few hundred years) especially post apoc. and futuristic games like shadow run and cyber punk, record your progress through skill...

I think you can do something with lions pounce (havent read the feat) and theres a feat in the CA that lets you move and get two attacks. So a melee based scout is possible (and we have one in our group) just make sure you take tumble, mobility and start pouring through the feats to see what...

several things, First the skirmish is really designed for ranged combat, however a reach weapon works very well too. A way around the AoO is to take ranks in tumble if your going to use melee weapons. It works well, Im currently running a ranged scout and my friend is running a melee scout. He...

Wow, you guys actually play games where you have characters doing 300-600 points of damage from their attacks? That is totally insane. What are youre encounters like? DM " ok 5 great red wyrms, 7 Iron golems and HEY! a duke of hell attack you while you sleep" That is so far beyond the scope of...

Isnt schlitz the beer the fat guy (sorry forgot his name) tries to get at the end of super troopers?, finds out they dont have any and ends up asking for "whatevers free". That crud is the stuff they scrape off of the stuff they scrape off of the bottom of the barrel.

also if you take monk/fighter/paladin you will only be able to advance in one of those classes and unless two are the same level you will always take xp penalties. Always like fighter/rogue, get a blursstrike weapon and the first attack a round against a opponent is a ssneak attack. high...

Do you use Mini's and terrain? sometimes its easier to visualize and use cover if you had physical representations. Even if you dont have a battle map and markers, use a table get some rocks and twigs and make your own terrain, and 1" equals 5'. Once you start showing the monsters using cover...
