What I did with my Nexus D20 game is add something called a burst attack. You don't get extra attacks. A burst is a repeated attack on the same target. This can include burst fire from an automatic weapon, repeatedly punching, or striking with a weapon. Each burst would start at your dex...

Reduce the number of rolls. Have defense a static number that you change by taking cover. Then people will pay attention to where they are. Have damage a static number so that people will pay attention to what weapon they use more. In Nexus D20 I have one roll per action. If you roll a crit...

I've got a new update of Nexus D20. I've changed a lot of details and improved the formating. It's landscape layout now and I finally figured out how to add backgrounds. I've added gear rules, vehicle construction rules, and super powers. The core rule book has information age tech level in it...

I think that we will eventually have nanite swarms that follow us around and create objects when we need them instead of having permanent objects. But I think that is very far in our future!

Actually 3d printing is already more advanced then that. GE is 3d printing thruster bells that are a lot less expensive than the old way to do it. People are making 3d printers that are faster and faster. They are "printing" buildings and are planning on a robot that will land on Mars or the...

I broke it up into stages of nanotech. This is what I have now: TL 15: Cyber Age (2030 – 2110 CE) Advances in nanotechnology, biology, and computers open up cybernetic interfaces between humanity and our tools. Exosuit power armor develops. Various kinds of fuel cells become common. There...

So I am trying to figure out ideas for the next economies. On one hand you have 3d printing allowing you to produce nearly anything you want. On the other hand you have the rise of bitcoin digital currency that prevents any government or bank from controlling money. You have people moving out...

I'm trying to work up some far future economies. I need ideas for different types. I remember mention of a scifi book series that was supposed to deal with future economies but I can't find the reference now. Any ideas?

The reason I was thinking of having everything .3 g is that save money on thousands of ships and space stations as well as be easier on people for transitions between zero g and .3 g. I figure that more ships will be at 1g during the Cyber Age but Belters would consider it a waste of materials...

The AI issue, I personally think, will be solved before it becomes a problem. First off, there is enough warning movies over the years that I think no one will allow an AI to have uncontrolled access to things. Secondly, I don't believe in the sudden consciousness of AIs. I think that you can...

Well for one I decided that the artificial gravity that they would be going for would be something closer to Mars gravity (.3 g). Then have some exercise areas that are rotating faster but for a much smaller area. The cyber age would have the fragile kind, mostly following the interplanetary...

I need some help. I am working on Nanotech tech levels for my Nexus game and I am having some problems. Does anyone know of a break down of nanotech development into stages or tech levels. It seems like everything jumps to nanite swarms and grey goo apocalypse! I need to break it down in...

It is focused on archetypes.

Sounds like fun!

I love good fumble rules. I have them in my Nexus D20 system. I don't have a problem with the percentage change for even skilled people to mess up in combat. If you are not under stress then you don't need to roll to accomplish a normal action for your character's skill level. People who are...

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

I was just thinking of having rams on the front of ships to catch particles and debris in the way. It could be made of asteroid rock.

I am working on rotator spacecraft for my game. I am trying to set them up for three tech levels. The first tech level is the cyber age. I was thinking of having the ships as long and fragile with rotating sections similar to the one on that short lived tv show Defying Gravity. The second tech...

hand - Sounds like a good idea!

I really loved it! Great Heist!
