The ether flyer Princess Alexandria can make it to Mars when the planet is at opposition in 10 to 11 weeks (about 137,000 mph or 61 kps). If you hurry you can still purchase tickets: Heliograph, Inc. Buy It! Page

Did you mean Buck Rogers XXVc or High Adventure Cliffhangers? XXVc runs really well as long as you ignore the Buck Rogers elements and is a good Transhuman space game before Transhuman Space came out from Steve Jackson games. My usual response is to use XXVc for the Solar System and then pull...

If I stand during a game people might mistake me for a Texas Aggie.

To each his own, though the figure of Charon is a cool idea. Even with nWoD we struggle with a diff of 8 and in some games we drop it to 7 like in the Trinity Universe games. And Mage works a bit better if you can change the difficulty number on the die. But again, I do like some of the dice...

I checked it independently with a document that used the binary theorem with a Monte Carlo simulation to determine both nWod and cWod dice probabilities, because right now I don't want to do it myself. And more dice is not necessarily better...

I'm not talking about the severity of the botch and counting up ones. I am talking simple mathematics, the more dice you roll, the more dice you roll the more ones you can get, the more ones you get the more likely you will botch (its only 10% with one die but almost 50% with 10 dice, even if...

I had that problem with ANYTHING that increased the difficulty, even when playing by the rules. I have one more than one occasion rolled, or seen rolled an autofire attack (diff 6 + 2 = 8) which gives +10 dice, do absolutely no damage at all. Anything that changed the difficulty might as well...

I don't know about that. Most people I have run into who hate the nWoD because the metaplot is a lot weaker. They don't get the fact that nWoD is more toolkit and less a story driven game. Without looking at the games I had friends who don't like it because the other games are "darker" or...

Yeah, I got it as soon as the .pdf was up. I am disappointed that they made it "classic" without any of the rules improvements of nWoD out of fear they would get flamed by the fans. I've already made my list of houserules and some story elements I want to incorporate out of VtR just to annoy...

I could never get any of my groups to play it because they hated the (in the words of one player) "Mickey Mouse Physics" which was ironic because I was the only Physicist in the room (and the only one with any post-Freshman year exposure to science) and the loudest voice was an actor followed by...

2300 AD is not part of the Traveller Universe. It is an alternate future of their Twilight 2000 campaign. And GURPS has published an Interstellar Wars setting that happens in the 21st to 23rd century AD when Terra was fighting the Vilane Imperium (I know I have a copy and ran a short game in a...

Actually the Jr. High game I ran I used the Mentzer Basic set, the Moldvay Expert set, and the AD&D Player's Handbook.

I have picked up Ptolus and it is nowhere as heavy as even one of the two books that make up Hero 6th edition.

But...but...shiny.

You can try the BRP Quickstart. It may require you to jot down a few notes for differences: Basic Roleplaying Quickstart Edition - Chaosium | DriveThruRPG.com Otherwise, I am not getting rid of mine (nor would I get rid of my copy of "Land of the Ninja"). Also you can get the Mongoose...

It's been a slow year for me: GMed: New World of Darkness (My Bughunters hack), In a Wicked Age, and Exalted Played: Dread and D&D3E Since Time Immemorial: GMed: AD&D 1st, AD&D 2nd, D&D (BECMI), D&D3.x, Torg, Vampire the Masquerade, Wraith the Oblivion, Mage the Ascension, Changeling the...

Being incredibly wealthy vs. Wish With enough money you can buy whatever you want it just takes more time to deliver, has a few more limitations, but doesn't cost Xp.

The Earth also has the secondary effect of the proto-Earth/Theia impact which formed the Earth-Moon system and gave the Earth a larger than normal Iron core and the Moon a smaller than normal one. We have a proportionally higher magnetic field than the other terrestrial planets because of that...
