    Building a better BEM

    You know - I've got something like that sitting around on my hard drive. Of course, I outlined it back in the early 1990's, and used the D6 Star Wars system as my "game system", but the general information may help. Oh, and for the record, I went with a human-like alien species that was...

    GenCon, sleep, hard-core gaming and drowsy driving

    Heh. Now this is a topic I can relate too. Good information to have P-Cat (for those who don't already have it), and I can agree with most, if not all, of it. Please note - I am not a Sleep Expert. I just have been to a number of sleep clinics and done a bit of researching here and there...

    Who pays for your group's "Party Leader" t-shirt?

    We do this - wear party role designation t-shirts. Oddly enough, our Party Leader t-shirt is red in color. We play a lot of sci fi too, and it just seems to fit. Peterson

    Oddly enough, the Sandalwood is one of my favorites too. ;) Peterson

    Starship Crew Quality Statistics

    The way I do it in my home games is not the right way, but it works for us. Basically, if I want the challenge to be well - challenging, I take my PCs' average level and add +3 or +4. The total become the modifier on a D20 roll. This basically represents a maxed out skill for the NPC. If I...

    Star Wars RPG Ideas??

    What about this? The PCs - somehow - are contracted to put an end to the Cloners so that the new Empire won't be able to have an unlimited army. The "Boba" knows where the Cloners are, but so does the enemy with the Battle Droids (maybe a new General Grevious?) - and that enemy wishes to see...

    Star Wars gear to D20 Modern / Future?

    Nuh-uh! Next, you'll probably be telling us that Klingons can pilot T.I.E. Fighters. Oh, and you know I have no problem doing conversions - just don't ask for an AT-AT Walker done D20 Future Mecha-style! Peterson

    So.... Is Ankh-Morpork Guard your GM? ;) Good discussion all the way around. Peterson

    [SWD20] Why can't I play a Battle Droid?

    You are my (droid) hero. Think you can make my next game? Seriously, that's an awesome idea. Peterson

    [SWD20] Why can't I play a Battle Droid?

    First off - impressive essay. Anyone in my group that goes to that much trouble (almost) always gets what they wanted. Second - according to my copy of D20 Star Wars you can play a super battle droid (the B2), but I'm assuming you want to play a B1 by your essay. Why not attempt to convince...

    Border Wars: an introduction to the Mycab Sector

    Okay here is the post on the PL of the Mycab Sector - hidden via spolier links. (Thanks genshou). The Collective The Collective's Progress Level can best be determined as a "solid PL 6" wiith a few cutting edge PL 7 examples. For example, the Collective have Slow-Charge Lasers which have a...

    Border Wars: an introduction to the Mycab Sector

    Okay, I'll get on it. However, a few points. First, this being a holiday weekend, I'm not sure I can get any updates done until next Thursday or so. Second, we've only played once, and that was over a month ago, so this storyhour is almost complete (at least, it will be once I toss up an...

    Homebrew SciFi Game - Need Product Advice

    Because he didn't seem to pimp it, I gotta pimp UKG Publishing's HUGE space station product, found here: http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=3964&. It's simply HUGE - and worth the price in my opinion. Peterson

    Lightsaber Duels

    For those that prefer their combat options to have more than just flavor effects: Style Points Ever want to throw sand in someone's eyes before tackling them to the ground, but worried about Reflex saves and Grapple checks? Ever wish you could sucker-punch that mook that's engaged you in a...

    Lightsaber Duels

    This is how we ran our old D6 Star Wars games. In fact, none of the Jedi characters even started with a lightsaber, as all the players agreed that playing a Jedi wasn't about having one - it was about finding peace in violent situations. Point of interest - one of the group's favorite PC Jedi...

    Does D20 Future make D20 Modern too feat-heavy?

    Okay, D20 Modern does provide large amounts of feats (something like 18 under optimal conditions - Human, Occupation Feat, only multiclass once, 20th level), especially when compared to D&D, but - is it enough? With the addition to D20 Future (and I haven't seen D20 Past yet, so I can't compare...

    Border Wars: an introduction to the Mycab Sector

    Sorry, genshou, didn't mean for it to be cryptic. Let's see if I can't explain some of this. First off, please remember that I'm not the biggest fan of PL. Um, anyone know how to do Spoiler Tags? :heh: Peterson

    I've got a rep!

    Now we're quoting DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince? (Parents just don't understand) My rep? According to my players, just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. That, and they think I'm freaky the way I sub-sub-sub-side-sub-plot and how it all manages to fit...
