I've just noticed that I say it wrong when I say "nucular bomb" but correctly when I say "nuclear reactor". God only knows why I do that. Aaron

Wow. I can't believe that for $50 they didn't throw in a couple of snowtroopers at least.

I'm only familiar with the changes listed in the earlier post. I'm curious why you think these changes make the game less suitable for superhero type games. Aaron

Thx Anyone know when this book will hit the normal stores for us regular folk? Aaron

It's been a few days, what do yall think? Does it still use the 3d6 stats or just the mods ala Blue Rose? Aaron

I have two questions. First, what does she do with this super-tech? Are you trying to simulate this by giving her mega-ranks in normal 20th century skills? Would this be better described as a special ability or, even, a new skill all its own? Second, if she is the main character of the entire...

If it were a normal die rolling system, I'd easily be able to swap the numbers around. I did this in my Fantasy Hero game years ago and it was a great success. However, I'm not sure about how to calculate the fixed numbers in SW to keep the same probablities. Does anyone know where the 2+half...

Oi! I know. But I like what I've seen and heard about it. I guess I can always wrap the rulebook up in a brown paper bag.

I have the old BRP booklet. I used to have a copy of Worlds of Wonder but I can't seem to find it. If anyone doesn't know, WoW was the BRP fantasy, sci-fi and superhero game. Don't expect too much in the way of logical rules though. I've really got to dig that up. Aaron

Are you trying to make me not want to pick this up? I'm worried about any game that makes so much effort trying to tell me that playing it is "Fun!". Its the whole reason I didn't pick up the original book. I've been trying to find a revised edition but have had no luck thus far. Has anyone...

I think what he was talking about was success levels, forex, how much better is rolling a 5 versus a 35 with a skill at 40%. In BPR-> None. I'm tempted to use a sliding Number of Success scale like the the James Bond 007 game (or as implied by Runequest). Forex: Getting less than half your %...

How does dealing initiative work? Do players get multiple cards? Can you get the same results just by rolling d12s? Plus, isn't there a problem with granularity? FWIR, all character have skills with only 5 possible values (d4-d12) Aaron

Me too. You just can't find these. Aaron

Alias cliffhanger endings are always x10 better that what they turn into. "You spent the last two years of your life as a cold-blooded killer" turned into "you pretended to be a cold-blooded killer" "Your father has been manipulating your entire life" turned into "your father killed your...

Speaking of names, who knows Sawyer's real name is John Ford (or whatever it was) since he was listed on the manifest by that name. Aaron

It seems that the castaways will be divided into two groups, those that believe in fate and those that don't. Aaron

What happened to that Sphere of Life thingy that Nadia used to heal Sloane? They never showed her use it or how it work only Sloane talking about being born again (or some such). Certainly that cheesy battle on the roof top can't be the epic struggle that the Rambaldi symbol represents ( "<0>"...

A wooden sailing ship carrying slaves ... That has to be well over 100 years old. There must be some sort of time travel involved. There's no way a wooden ship can survive in a jungle that long.

I devised a similar system only I allowed higher level characters to have more than 2 actions per round; at around +1 action per 5 levels. Aaron

What if a party enters a room and suprises a bunch of monster. They can, if they wish, spend their entire suprise round buffing. The monsters, in response, can spend their entire first round buffing as well. Combat != attacking The problem is you don't know if any actual attacks will occur...
