Same as here, though I just joined and therefore havent posted anything yet.

Ok, I see. Thanks

Well, T20 is eventually going to be ordered, but I'm looking at Nexus until it arrives. Which could be quite a while. Speaking of Nexus, why would a character choose to increase die type rather then roll more dice for starting wealth? EDIT: Ignore that bit on talents. I need to go back to...

Yeah, it looks like their the same. The system looks ok for big ship combat, its just that theres not much to do in starfighter combat...even decreasing the square size to make the field bigger doesnt make it very interesting.

Actually, its pretty archaic. Its got the radio, probably the shock dampening, powered assit, some vision enhancment and the gyro stabilizer and thats about it. I don't even know if it has the gyro. Otherwise its just armor plates with a mind impulse unit connection. I'd say TL 7

Yeah, I was reading that. I might shamelessly steal your APV/HAV rules if I use D20 Future. Though I wont use cloning, etc. Its too high tech for my campaign. They havent got the whole human brain part down yet.

Eh, the weapons take up two small tables. And I don't like The Force or anything else in my campaign. I like Star Wars, but right now I want something else. Races can be easily transposed anyway. By the way, how is Starship combat in nexus? I havent read anything on that yet.

The personal combat is identical, with some changes to autofire. The classes are new, and the jedi are really good. Ship Combat is close, but I havent fully read through D20 Futures starship rules so I dont know.

Lethality is not bad. Lethality is good. Instant vaporisation at first level is bad. Understandably, cover is good. But my players never believe me when I say "um, you do know he has a gauss rifle and you're in the open, right?", and a TPK might not be the best way to start a game. Anyway, I...

OK, big important question: How do these ships handle starship combat? Star Wars D20 (Which I have) had it grid based just like normal combat, and frankly, i didn't really get the feel for ship combat like that. Especially the little things that are easily exploited like ion cannons. I heard T20...

Its not really the lack of lethality in Modern that turns me off, its just I cant stand the classes. I dont know why. I also don't really like the rather generic scifi weapons. I mean, in PL 7, there are like 2 types of ranged rifle and one pistol. Doing 2D8, 3D8 or 3D12 damage. Thats plenty...

If I dare ask...when is it coming out? EDIT: Directed at AscentStudios.

Well, 2300 isnt D20 system, but i'll look into it. T20 looks ok from the lite rules Dawning Star...eh. I'm not a huge fan of D20 Modern and its offspring. Any other games?

Which would be the version of traveller to get? 2300AD? T20? GURPs?

As is cunningly concealed in the title, I'm looking for a good rpg along the lines of David Drakes Hammers Slammers books or, (if anyones played it) the Dirtside/Stargrunt/Full Thrust wargames. I don't want one so ingrained as a military game that its impossible to play something else, but I'm...

Spycraft, from what I can see from me quick glance at it, combined these skills: Escape artist+Climb+Swim+Several ability checks (like smashing doors, which is now a skill) Disable Device+Open locks (Non electronic) Tumble+Balance+Jump Diplomacy+Preform Disguise+Forgery Hide+Move Silently...

Stupid internet....

I suppose I could REALLY tone ogres down to +4 Str, but then they're just large orcs...I guess I'll give them something else minor and make them ECL 4

Yeah, I know what you mean about half ogre characters, or even orcs. I really don't know why anyone would play a half orc over an orc for a fighter. Unless they really wanted +2 wisdom. Having said that, I'm going to drop low light vision, as its rather pointless, and maybe make the bonus feat...

Well, lets compare my ogre to a half ogre (+1 LA) from SS. The half ogre has 2 points more cha 3 more natural armor 10 ft less speed 4 less intimidate (not that it really matters) And doesnt have to blow two levels in "giant" without the bonus feat, my ogre looks like LA+1, doesnt it? EDIT...
