You know I imagine many alternates of Malcom Reynolds wanting to obtain a ftl drive for Serenity, so he and his crew can just leave Alliance territory. Mind you I think that the Firefly "'verse" exists on the fringes of UED territory and that the Alliance is effectively a UED vassal state, so it...

Does Coreline have a Speed Force? I suppose it has to otherwise characters like the Flash would be greatly nerfed.

Not really. They'd still get the benefits of being a Spark for things they aren't trained in it. It's just that they aren't trained in it, so they don't get the benefit of skill ranks and the like. A baker who happens to be a Spark will still benefit from the Spark if they happen to attempt to...

Sparks definitely do not inherently understand any piece of technology they come across. A Spark's abilities are limited by their education and we come across examples of Sparks who have rather limited abilities.

I think a Spark's speciality would be more a roleplaying thing than anything. I also think Sparks might actually get a bonus to certain Wisdom rolls/skills, basically anything relating to focusing on things.

https://girlgenius.fandom.com/wiki/Spark Okay, so mad scientists are a dime-a-dozen in Coreline, but the Spark is a little different. I am hoping that GURPS Girl Genius will eventually come out so I can see how they handle things mechanically, but story wise Sparks have great potential. Imagine...

The Red Ribbon Army apparently were rivals to Capsule Corp before being destroyed by Goku. So the same would probably apply on Coreline. There are probably a multitude of Martial Arts Schools/Styles on Coreline. The New Turtle School, New Crane School and Kikoukenjutsu Sword School could be...

A number of Dragon Ball characters could be useful in campaigns. Master Roshi would be pretty stubborn, directing any prospective students to the New Turtle School (or maybe he'd be like "Just read the Dragon Ball manga, or watch the anime and pay attention to how I trained Krillin and Goku.")...

I've given some thought to the Z-Fighters and their role in Coreline. For one thing the lore of Dragonball Online can be taken into account, with its new martial arts dojos led by Krillin, Tien, and Goten and Trunks. So people can study at the New Turtle School, New Crane School and...

With how much of a crapsack world Coreline is, I don't see Tekkadan facing many consequences for using child soldiers. However, that doesn't mean they would necessarily continue to do so. The older members might continue to fight while hiring new recruits that are of age, or at least around...

Personally I'd think a standard wormhole would work fine. However, i wonder if the anomalies you describe would allow you to see the immediate vicinity of the other side. So you have prior warning if a Star Destroyer starts coming through. Also I wonder whether these anomalies would have mass...

Well there are of course multiple versions of Santa and related figures. Perhaps they have formed a Council of Santas to collaborate and pool resources. Also Santa can call upon many allies if something impedes him. There is the Great Ak and his subjects in the Forest of Burzee (from L Frank...

I definitely think that you might see other factions replicating Imperium tech. The whole point of the STC system was to allow new colonies to be able to build whatever tech they needed easily. However even without an STC it should be more than possible to reverse engineer Imperium technology...

I figure it would be named for the sector in question, which I haven't named yet. I think it might be interesting if the Empire hired Mechwarriors to fight the Imperium's Titans. Could an Atlas BattleMech beat a Imperator Titan? I don't know, but I bet the fight would be spectacular.

The Imperium has had failed crusades before, notably the Damocles Gulf Crusade. The scale of the conflict in this case warrants it being a crusade, which is basically just the Imperium's name for a large scale conflict involving multiple worlds. The Black Templars alone pursue multiple crusades...

This would be beyond their sphere of influence. However, its not so distant that they would not be interested. Mostly they wouldn't get involved, though all Klingons might not adhere to this policy. Thing is Klingons aren't that monolithic. They have different factions and Houses, with their...

I've been thinking about a conflict between the Galactic Empire and the Imperium of Man. Not a full-scale war, just centered around a single sector in the Beta Quadrant. The Imperium has declared a Crusade, however, with a Warmaster/Lord Solar being appointed and working with the Commissariat...

I don't really agree with your assessment of the Dreadnaught. The design and its derivatives saw well over a century of service. Furthermore, it was specifically the innovations of the Katana-type that were moved away from, meaning subsequent vessels were actually more like the original...

I mean, it depends on who you are selling it too and what they will use it for. If you are fighting an enemy that is known for their electronic warfare capabilities, like the Cylons, this might actually be a selling point. Also, Rendili's Dreadnaught was notorious for its high crew requirements...

The Rendili Battlestar might retain some systems of it's Colonial predecessor, such as the non-networked computer systems. In a way it might deliberately hearken back to the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser with its less automated systems.
