Returned from the wilderness so a good point to chip in... Although I haven't played much SF in my long gaming career, any 'Traveller-type' games I have played have always had a strange sort of economics to them. Wealth seems to work on a log scale in that you can buy all your usual...

Apologies to everyone whose games I am in - obviously my previous experimentation with 'things man was not meant to know' has drained this feeble mortal shell beyond further use. While my disembodied spirit searches for another suitable vessel to inhabit I will find interacting with the material...

I've just acquired myself a copy of GURPS:Traveller from SJGames so I can do a bit of reading - unfortunately looks like I'll be off the boards again for about a week, but I'll try and have some numbers sketched out while I'm away. At the moment I'm looking at these skills: - Armoury (Ship...

You two can stop that line of thought RIGHT THERE! :p *mutter, mutter* racial stereotyping *mutter, mutter* And whaddaya mean 'recruit more later'? Think we cannae handle it, cap'n? :cool:

Come and join Renya on the stairs. Together we can clog the bad guys' weapons with our bodies.

Actually, you know what? Shayuri is right - I've let myself get consumed by analysis paralysis. Maybe I'm just a bit narrowly focussed in the way I play my characters a lot of the time and I need to push the boat a little and try something I might not go for normally. Ignore above then - will...

The Professor listens to some of the other 'guests' offer their services to defend the honour of the young groom, and a flicker of pride tinged with shame at his own unwillingness to volunteer passes through his aged frame. Peering at the officer, he slowly nods his head and says 'very well, if...

Folks I haven't really been setting the heather on fire with my posting in this so far, so apologies to you all for that. To cut to the chase, Dr Simon has successfully done something not a lot of other GMS have managed over the years: absolutely stumped me for what to do/say with my...

As Gregor heads over to the southernmost door and Eivan and Krindorf search, Brunhilde moves into the centre of the room and remains alert for anything coming from the other door. OC - Move to AR13 and ready an action to attack if anything comes at me from the north door.

I'm interested in joining your band of heroes. Haven't had the chance to play with HM much so a good opportunity to set that right. I did play old red box D&D once upon a time so it's vaguely familiar - I downloaded Labyrinth Lord ages ago so will do some reading over the next day or so. If...

Sorry for not being involved much. I somehow picked up a rather nasty infection which did things to my 'nether regions' I won't repeat where children might see them. And I reckon you'd all be crossing your legs and wincing if I told you where one of the tubes went while they were treating it...

Sorry for inactivity. Been pretty sick for a few days which required a trip to the hospital. Hopefully on the mend now Brunhilde nodded at Eivan and made sure her shield was firmly secured on her arm. She reached reflexively for her belt then hissed at Krindorf 'after you finished your little...

Sorry for the delay. Been sick for a few days Seeing the young priest being targetted by more than one of the skeletal defenders, Renya attempted to even up the odds a bit by targetting one of them with a barrage of arrows Full attack - Rapid Shot/Deadly Aim OOC - I'm not sure if Renya is...

Sorry about that. I've been the lucky, lucky recipient of an all-in, no expense spared trip to the ER where I experienced such delights as needles, and tubes (oh god, the tubes *shudder*). Still feeling pretty weak, so obviously the first thing I do is log in to ENWorld... Hey, no fair! I...

After her companion's yelp of surprise and sudden disappearance, Brunhilde edges carefully forward and peers over the edge of the pit. Seeing the rat about to nibble on the dwarf, she draws one of the handaxes from her belt, and after a moment's aiming, hurls it at the beast (the rat, not...

Arexus OOC - pic added to the RG With the threat of impending doom hanging over him, Arexus redoubled his efforts to slip out of his bonds. He was damned if he was going to meekly surrender and let the giants butcher him once they had disposed of the brave souls who had broken into the...

OK, I have a backstory idea for critique/approval - explains quite *why* a Vargr mught be on a ship full of Zhodani, as well as filling my role in the party. If any of this is obviously wrong from the background, please pipe up. The Zhodani have become aware that some Vargr are beginning to...

Care to define 'very skilled'? ;) I don't have much of a feel for levels of competence in a 200 pt game. Is 14- good enough or would you expect a specialist to be better than that? What sort of engineering does Doc do? Looks like one that you have to specialise in so a potential points sink...

I'm good with a smaller ship too. But there'll be 2 of us (at least) who are non-combatant so if we get into a firefight we might be in trouble. I guess with 4, maybe 5 players, we're struggling to crew an entire ship - is 200 pts enough for us all to be multi-functional (not knowing enough...

I was thinking the grunts would be just that - guys (possibly in power armour) who fire big weapons at people or blow stuff up. Admittedly if they survived, they would inevitably start to take on some personality, but if they were 100 pt characters instead of our 200 pt 'stars' then I wouldn't...
