if you do away with minis and battlemats, then how do we deal with the AoOs and the reach of the lances?

your math is wrong. 300-200 is 100, not 200. so knight 1 gets his charge on turn 2 not turn 3. also wouldn't knight 1 be running rather than charging so he would ove 200 feet instead of 100. meaning knight 2 charges him on turn 1.

I believe Shadowrun was the one game that should have gone over to D20 that didn't. It is already just DnD with guns in a lot of ways. I think that had Fasa/Fanpro done a D20 Shadowrun when D20 modern came out, it could have been the "killer app" that really pushed D20 Modern.

MIne is a pretty simple 1 page Dungeons and Dragons House Rules 1. Dying and Death: A character is considered to be dying if his hit points are in the range of -1 to – (constitution -1). A character is considered dead when his hit points are equal to –constitution. 2. Background...

At our games the DM usually has a laptop as do 2 or 3 players. Another players uses a PDA from time to time. the rest use pencil and paper. We have numerous tools on our laptops that we use for roleplaying. I usually have music and sound effects cued up on mine as well as NBOS Inspiration Pad...

warforged from ebberron are also really powerful in the early sections of the WLD. Not needing to carry food, and not needing to sleep are a coupel of very potent advantages. the immunity to poisons and diseases is also really useful.

in the early sections you will need at least 1 rogue and I would suggest 2 if possible. A good healer to slap the band aids on the party is also mandatory. The rogue(s) also needs darkvision

'cept space is big (really, really big) and the size of the ships really shouldn't matter that much to targeting systems that can target objects moving at the velocities space combat would entail.

Dry erase markers will also craze and crack most polycarbonate (plexiglas) and acrylic sheets. So you need a polycarbonate-polyester blend to get the clarity you want and stil have the chemical resistance for the markers. Plexiglas and acrylic also scratch really easily or use a sheet of glass.

isn't powered by spycraft an OGL thing. wouldn't it be possible for a new company with the lisence to just pick up where AEG left off and keep the system and all previous material usable.

Dream Pod 9's Core Command setting has ships that are 30km long.

Warhammer 40k ships are miles long. Easily the size of super star destroyers.

the second death star was approximately 500 miles in diameter according to theforce.net this would make it roughly 5280 1" squares across in the d20 future system. you would need a 440 ft battlemat to put the second death star on it. what scale does Star Wars d20 use for space combat?

AoOs? Probably as I like the idea of point defense systems. I think I will change the existing system very little. I will just increase the size of a square to be much larger and increase ranges and speeds as well. I did a few calculations and to get my battlemat to be approx. 1 light second...

OK, I worked out a passable version of the Andromeda Ascendant using the D20 future rules. It isn't perfect but it should work. Now I want to know what the designers were thinking when they made the defalt scale for space combat 500ft squares. That makes my battlemat about 3 miles square which...

except the tool I want to use seems to not work. I assumed D20 future was a set of add-ons or tools to be used with D20 modern in the creation of science fiction settings. However the things I want to do don't seem to be possible using those tools. I want ships that vary from small one man...

HERO does a pretty good job. My players are much more likely to play in a D20 game than to try to figure out the complexities of HERO though. My goal is not the Andromeda RPG, but something that kinda draws on the premise of Andromeda. A small group of PCs on a powerful but undercrewed ship...

Some info on slipstream. http://www.allsystems.org/engineering/enginslipstr.shtml it appears to be similar to a jumpdrive, and travel times might just have to be left to GMs fiat. It is very fast, but not instantaneous.

If I have to ignore the rules, what good are they? what about her slipstream drive? it isn't instantaneous, but it is many times faster than the next fastest drive in D20 Future.

OK, lets go with the Andromeda Ascendant. A glorious heritage class heavy cruiser. She is bigger than the biggest generic ship in the d20 future book, and she can travl across intergalactic distances relatively easily. some of her relative statistics can be found here...
