Forced to bail out Well, I'm depressed to say it looks like I'm going to have to cancel this weekend. My car died this week, really screwing up my schedule, so I'll be doing some work over the weekend. And it looks like I might have to go car shopping as well. :( I'm sorry I won't be able...

B09s?

Yes, count me in. Thanks, Alan.

My vote is the same here as it was at CM: Traveller and/or Mars. Either way.... can't wait. Carl

I had very little experience with CoC before stepping into this game, so I can't speak in any meaningful way about the system details or their differences to regular CoC. But everything GlassJaw said, I heartily agree with. It was one of the best Con games I've ever played. No matter how long...

Here's a summary for Sunday's game: "Yesterday’s Cost" -- The crew of the Epsilon Shrike is in the for a fight for their lives after a simple job - picking up some stranded xeno-archaeologists from an uninhabited planet - lands them in the middle of a galactic conflict. Welcome to Star Drive...

Well, I'm feeling pretty sure I'll be there. Schedule's gonna be tight, but I should make it. I'll be busy making sure that WotC adopts the Alternity system for 4e. :lol: Carl

There is a big tourney scheduled, but no regular one-shots. I was disappointed too. It's a fun game for a one-shot. I'll be interested to see what their turnout is for the tournament; they seem to have pretty high expectations for such a low-profile game. Carl

I'm intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

The XCrawl module could be fun.

As has been said numerous times over, the answer is Alternity. In addition to www.alternityrpg.net, check out www.tequilastarrise.net -- which is dedicated to the Star Drive setting. Its forum has been slow lately, but it still houses a wealth of material on the setting. Carl

When we played through that a few years ago, we were constantly retreating to the gnomish shop where the entrance was. Retreat, regroup, rest, re-enter. It's the mantra of the low-level dungeon crawler. :p Carl

Great article. My enthusiasm for the "low-level" game is renewed!

I read that over the winter. I found an annoying number of what looked like OCR errors in that edition, but for $10 it was still a deal, and it was a LOT of fun to revisit those adventures. Just finished Stainless Steel Visions, a collection of Harry Harrision's short stories. Lots of good...

I played a CoC game at GenCon once with two DMs. The assistant was very valuable in dealing with player sidebars and kept the action moving whenever the PCs were not all in the same place.

That's the third recommendation I've heard for this in a month. Gotta check that out...

It's fantasy meets space opera. Pretty fun stuff. It seems like it was short-lived.

I recall stumbling across a reasonably active yahoo group for this recently. As for me, it's another one of those games I bought but never got to play or run. Though I've used material from it for other space opera games.

Count me in for the Star Wars Saga Game Saturday PM and Qualidar's game Sunday AM Thanks. Carl

Woo hoo!! I'll have to double-check the schedule, but I think I can make this! If there's any interest, I would run one or two: Alternity -- Star Drive: Spaceship battles, alien encounters, and big rayguns galore! Skull & Bones: Pirates, ship battles and buried treasure galore! Carl
