Just to throw it out there, there is basically no "wearable" armour which will stop a .223" round (5.56mm). The Kevlar III will stop any handround including the famed .44 Magnum, shotgun slugs, and shrapnel of most sorts, but will not stop any rifle round. (Unless it is extremely cold loaded...

swrushing, the "alot of physics guy" would say, that the pushee exerts and equal amount of force back on the pusher. But the pusher has more mass, friction, or other variable which in turn exerts back all of the force that the pushee exerts to the pusher. In outerspace, assuming zero asolute...

Couple of questions/points: 1) Energy weapons have recoil as well, just a whole lot less. 2) Why would one waste energy in a laser by having the beam visible? 3) With ballistic wepaons it is easier to overcome defenses. From d20 Future, the Plasma Round, which does both Ballistic and...

Make the MAS save DC = damage dealt. Base equipment stats and then a nice gadget list to make whatever ya want. Ala mix GT list with gadgets. Better wealth system. More size catagories, or scale them like old d6 Star Wars. (Colossal might cut it in fantasy, but really a 100' plane and a...

If it going to be a long time job, then let the PC's get a +1 to their wealth everytime they level. And that would be rather excessive. Don't forget they'll lose at least half of that salary to taxes, and then one finds they eat out more, and have higher expenses. So the overall impact is...

Its your campaign, but really it takes absolutely no skill to pistol whip someone nor to use a longarm as a "ram". Swinging a longarm like a club should get a penalty due to weight distribution though. And really, how bad is a Gunlinger going to hit something with a d4 pistol whip or a d6...

SB w/ Tables vote here too. And to take the skulls suggestion one step further, could ya do a "base sampling" of spells, say one "iconic" spell from a "school" and zero to three skull it. So like "ye ol Fireball" would be a base two skull and then give an example of a one skull and three...

Worked at Pantex, and they only "do" one thing there, finally assembly of certain types of weapons which would require the need of said badges... Also almost got hired as a sales rep to the nuclear plant industry, but got a better offer elsewhere after college. Still get yearly physicals...

Eric, I don't like the way the entire radiation issue is handled. First there is no "lethal" radiation rating. Second, rads do and should accumulate, granted with neutrad in PL6+ they can be somewhat neutralized, but in a Post Ap (nuke) world, I personally believe we should replace keeping...

Ok, after having read and re-read the book, my likes, dislikes, and questions: Liked: From Twilight 2000 to Planet of the Apes one can pretty much use the rules within to "create" the feel of the campaign with rules which intermesh well with d20 Modern. Barter system of TU's and parts...

LMAO, that is soooooo true. (And on a side note, it really doesn't matter what kind of gun you get shot by, it makes much more difference on where you got shot...)

Couple of things: 1) To make weapons more deadly do two things: make MDT = 10 and make the MDT save = damage dealt. 2) To make some firearms more deadly, get rid of the -4 to hit using burst fire, especially with the 3 round burst weapons. 3) Get rid of equipment bonuses of armour, make...

For your B-tech technical side... http://megamek.notcows.com/ And for a fun shoot-em up game www.navyfield.com But Paranoia would be a great MMORPG :heh:

Also they are not one yet, that deal is still pending and has a few obstacles to overcome. That being said, one of the biggest reasons GS bought EB was due to the need for quality management at the district/store level. EB tends to have more footage for PC than GS, but it is still very smal...

Hopefully it is a Seagate. Worst that happens is you blow Friday Night's beer money. If it has any sort of warranty/guarantee than you should be fine. Otherwise, you will be shooting craps and hoping for a 3.

Well here's the problem of the proposed system as I see it: Armour is made in order to defeat the current weapons and vice-versa. So an armour which is designed to deflect laser fire will not be quite as effective against projectile fire (basically the ideal defense against a laser is a...

I still have the Darklands CD, haven't put it in for quite some time now, not sure if it will even run on this setup, course, I do have an old 'puter from '94 or so lying around here somewhere... <wheels start turning, making alot of racket since I don't use them wheels much>

I've read some of your stuff, and I can see you've put alot of work into it. Though I do not "agree" with all you have, it is a comprehensive system, which picking and choosing which elements to keep is quite easy. Now, on that there rifle, weapon sizes do not, I repeat not, equate to creature...

Don't forget that with a bounty their should be a Reputation bonus too. So something like +1 Wealth +1 Reputation would be a standard bounty. Whiel a Bounty for someone like UBL, would be along the lines of +4 (1d6+1) Wealth +4 (1d6+1) Reputaion per character. BTW, my characters have rarely...

If you can't find one, best advice I can tell you is to find the deck plans of a merchant ship and then square it off with a hole in the middle. There isn't alot of space on most of the rigs, I'd suggest a 150' square as your base template, with a 30' square hole in the middle. The vast...
