Actually, that wasn't so bad. I still dropped an egg in and then used some soy sauce and a half packet of flavoring. Someone had given me a weight watcher's recipe also: 2 packages of Ramen Noodles 1 pint of broccoli cole slaw 6 oz of beef strips Cook the beef strips then add the broccoli...

I knew I took this a bit off topic, but I would like to know which spells are too powerful for their level and which are too weak? Which spells would be better off as Urban Arcana incantations for that matter? If you were to do a spell list where would you put certain spells? Should these...

What's the name of the app so I can place it on my overhyped box of crap? :p

Trail of Cthulhu has a interesting take on Sanity which could be translated into BRP/d20 thusly: 1. Generate Sanity Normally. 2. Then generate a stability score equal to your Sanity. It is not subject to the 99-Cthulhu Mythos maximum. 3. All SAN losses come from Stability first. If your...

Throw away the packet, add a generous pinch of chicken bouillon, garlic powder, couple of dashes of soy sauce, and a large pinch of brown sugar. Much better. An egg cracked and thrown in at the last minute then allowed to cook is always good. A bit of lemon juice, some cilantro leaves...

I've thought about getting rid of the Cookien spell caps. They were made because high HD were rare and they are still in d20 even though the HD top end has been taken away. So I came up with this (forgive me I don't know how to do tables on this): Spell.....Damage per caster level...

I don't see that. In Dark Matter you are investigating the unknown, but it doesn't have that horror and madness "man was not meant to know" feel to it that CoC has. Now granted, the Hoffman Institute is an Ahotti experiment to see how well humans deal with the unknown and that can be quite...

I've heard a lot about which spells are too powerful and which spells are nerfed, but I have yet seen anyone rewrite the spells to change their level. Where would you put specifically Core spells at which level and why?

I've never understood the Hive, and isn't the old one supposed to be locked before a new one starts?

Here is a rather incomplete conversion of Buck Rogers. The talented eye will see where I ripped off Alternity, Amazing Engine, Star Wars, and Pulp Heroes to put it all together. I never finished changing the flavor text for the Scientist.

Hey, its a Cybermat from Dr. Who. Where are the Cybermen?

Well, looking at the publishing history, probably 1984 did more to hurt Star Frontiers with too many books coming out. Both the Alpha Dawn boxed set and the D&D basic set were being sold at Wal-Mart at the time (but it wasn't the giant it is now), and when Wal-Mart pulled D&D because of the...

Actually, I checked Amazon.com for the product history (not complete) since I'm at work and can't check my library: 1982 Alpha Dawn Boxed Set (I saw a date of 1980, but I double checked it on WorldCat [working in a library can be cool]) Volturnus Planet of Mystery Starspawn of Volturnus 1983...

That meme was the generally consensus at the time and still floats around on SF messageboards and listservs. The general theory was that Lorraine Williams did it to garner tons of royalties from the sale of XXVc and that the Cyborg Rules from Gamma World: Epsilon Cyborgs and the Powered Armor...

No, a lot of it had to do with Nerdrage over the cancellation of Star Frontiers which was at the time one of the most successful Science Fiction games on the market. People were upset that their favorite game was being replaced by Buck Rogers of all things and that they weren't going to get...

I already have one floating on one of my computers somewhere.

So I can't have a sense of wonder and a bit of flair in my serious SF? I would suggest you go back and read some Heinlein.

After reading http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/252425-lorraine-williams-did-what.html and the comments on Buck Rogers XXVc I have to ask did you play the game? Honestly, except for the character cards you could play the entire game without seeing Kane, Deering, or Rogers. It...
