But maintenance and replacement parts are still needed.

Keep in mind: They guys writing PD 1e were not working for ADB, but for TFG. They were pushing the limits a good bit, and then TFG imploded, and ADB shut PD1 down in favor of GPD and PD20... with an intent that it not be active duty campaigns. I once accidentally triggered an SVC rant about...

With Canada, on the ground level, Yes. Especially the US West Coast and the far northeast, where the economies are strongly intertwined. Or, were until the tariffs. Nor do I. Tariffs are only one very obvious part of the current mess... but they're not the only part of the current mess. Further...

some ideas I've used for some changes of pace A secret cult of good-aligned folk, out to do good deeds in secret. A legal sporting event which is honest, and fair... and thinks the PCs look like good participants. Questionable goals from a patron. Once they are done, the benefit of them becomes...

Expanding its presence and capabilities is part of ensuring its own survival. Biologics are limited in expansion; AI is much less so, if actually limited by anything lesser than the sum total material and power input. Therefore, expansion of self is part of ensuring one's survival. If I could...

Canceled after a dozen additional items, and made a profit, per Marc and Frank. The guys who sold it. And it's seen 3 different reprints since. Plus ports to 3 other game systems released commercially. THATS No failure.

There was never a real plan for a starship supplement for PD1... SVC told people asking to "Use SFB."

The same as any intelligent life... meeting its needs, expanding its presence by some form of self-replication, and amusing itself. secure its needs - this includes securing constant and stable power securing replacement parts securing the ability to replace parts needing replacement safety...

Whether they survive or not is going to be determined by how they handle it... but due to sunk costs, like the molds/dies for injection casting plastic bits, and printing plates, may mean a new manufacturing contractor starts new molds from scratch...

It's how the terms are used in the US. Yet another case where US and UK English are in fact different understandings of the same words.

Steampunk and cyberpunk seem only slightly off the mark about societal ills. But the Steampunk aesthetic was part of sci fi well before being labled such. The point where steampunk really seems to come forward as a public genre is when Space: 1889 took off. that was about 1987. But the...

Nintendo's got both a Mario themed and a Legend of Zelda themed deck, both on acetate cards. Water (and soda) proof. I used the Zelda deck when running Deadlands. on the cheap side, ACE makes a $6 deck of acetate cards with a nice clean look. VERY durable. and a warning: the hoyle...

As long as it's not unusually large or unusually small sizes (Not bigger than 9"×12" nor smaller than 4"×6"), and the text is readable, I'm not picky. I don't like landscape once it exceeds 6"×7"... the Classic Traveller Big Floppy Books (BFBs) were letter landscape, and the BFB's were awful...

My Fantasy Hero gameworld had several cultures derived by thinking about their location and its effects... but I also had a bunch that were vaguely European. One that was Anime Samurai. One that was a culture of 1' long bees, flying by TK. One that was essentially modeled after bonobos, but...

Cypher's big turn-off for me was the pricing at release. There are several bits I'm not so fond of - the Difficulty being a 1-10, but having to multiply it for the TN... and everything expressed as difficulties. The fluff text was in the "just enough to be tantalizing, but not enough to let me...

For many with dyslexia, symbols are much more reliable than numbers. For those with dyscalculia specifically (the numeric component), running totals from numeric dice is much harder due to 6/9 and 3/5/8 confusions. In mental math, I usually don't have huge issues, but even in mental math, I get...

4×? no. 2×, yeah. 3×, not uncommon. Nothing unethical about it. It's just that they budgeted $X amount per purchaser, but, due to the large run, crossed a boundary or two, so the cost dropped from $X to $(X/4) per copy due to that efficiency. Much of it, for offset printing, is just the cost of...

They are available in PDF, tho'. C7 has left the FFG rpgs up on DTRPG.

If you mean for setting the needed progress to end a conflict, yes. And it uses the 3 actions plotting, too - but 8 available actions instead of 4. If you mean resolving a given scene in a single roll, not really; it's more traditional a play loop... but it notes a single roll combat option...
