Trivial rule? GM rolls hit dice after player. Higher result prevails.

Superman isn't a hero. Why? Because he isn't frightened. He's invincible. He's perfect. He's not human. So he can't be a hero, he's just being normal for the alien he is. He would do what most people in his situation would do. Thats why we don't like Superman. He makes us uncomfortable at...

Pogre, you have an absolutely excellent idea. As a pre-service History/English teacher, I give you kudos. Tonguez, likewise. I have no idea what Diplomacy is, but I was contemplating how to break the ice on some of the history. And I think a quasi-roleplaying game would be excellent. Tonguez...

Which was the one where you fight Bargle the necromancer? My first ever D+D session came from that. I couldn't get over teh 3vil of Bargle!

Alright, we have Brain, Rhialto, Captain Tagon, Jampaladin and potentially Sweetfires. Now, I'm contemplating an action packed game, but a serious one would be cool, too. I'd like votes - More heroic system, or more gritty system. Second thing to vote on - Do we want lots of Starship vs...

You don't need it. Only me. That is, I'm the one who needs it. we'll go over characters and such when we get playing.

Would that suffer the rules with attacking larger ships and things, being a non starship weapon? Edit: Actually, don't worry anymore. This starship creation/combat/everything is beyond my means. I'll tail-end the star wars starship combat on. I could understand that. But thanks for doing that...

Would the MRL drop the agility? If it doesn't that would be absolutely sweet; the drop in fuel load is unfortunate, but fits the idea of a super-insane fast and agile thing. I'll recommend "Great Fortitude" and such, I think :D. Would the stats be possible? I'm reading this design sequence...

Oh, looks like I've got a call. Is it possible to stick some form of laser on the Sunstreaker? She's thinking for dogfights and such, to be more than the fastest missile launcher in the galaxy :D. (Her words, not mine!) I must admit, it looks cool. I'm wondering; it's atmosphere capable...

I'm young. My dice are only about fiveish years old - the pack from "The Adventure Begins Here!". My blue dice rolls like anything. Aren't most D4's nasty little caltrops? Mine are. God, I stepped on one whilst walking around in bare feet in my garage. Lets just say the neighbours got the...

Hey, come on now. More info required? Well, it's more cowboy bebop style than cowboy bebop world. You still go adventuring on weird planets, taken there by a big jump-worthy starship. And there's still smallship combat. And there's all sorts of bounties to fail to get. Make a post here...

I have only one change. The speed demon is now called the "Sunstreaker" and has a yellow paint trim. And yeah; she rolled like a demon on statistics, and managed to get Ace Pilot during Prior History. Traveller2/Scout3/AcePilot1. Otherwise, Sweet! And many thanks! Your traveller-fu is high.

Chapter 2 - Brutus of Kova The fire blazed and crackled, it’s meagre light illuminating nothing but the dirty and bright-eyed faces around it. There was a brief, contemplative silence. A deeper voice followed. It’s harsh note cut clearly through the icy valley in which the hulking, muscled...

Join in, it's in the Talking the Talk section so far :D. Mothership: Actually, the Bebop. Fightercraft: We have a ship named "Backslider", a decent computer within but minor combat abilities. Tonnage minimal. It was a scoutcraft at some point, ended up in possession after a coup of a space...

Thanks, Shadowdancer.

Hate to bump myself, but this rewriting old posts won't get me read again. Comments and critiques welcomed and desired of course. I'm trying to get some feedback on my writing.

Are the d20 rules bad? Should I try some other system?

I did something rash and started a traveller game as my first ever GMing a PBP game. I only bought traveller a few days ago. I've read most of the rules and understand the combat. But the ship design! And as it's a Cowboy Bebop style game, they all want a fightercraft of their own. While...

Looks good, interesting. Careful to watch your grammar. :D

Morte, I hate you. You made me go out and buy the Traveller book. You and your annoyingly good story. If only I could describe hard sci-fi.
