[QUOTE="Super Pony, post: 6123713, member: 6669292"] In memoriam of MHRp's tragic demise, I am going to be running Deathwatch with the MHRp rule-set. I genuinely liked the game FFG made of it, but the d100 system is really antiquated and poorly emulates the super-heroic Space Marine action. For Black Crusade, Only War and Dark Heresy I've adopted a black-jack resolution (roll nearest your target number without going over). Even though the probabilities of success are the same, it makes for a more interesting application of extra successes, etc. After...shoot...decades of roll over or roll under, it's about the only way I can stay engaged with the d100 resolution process. I hacked Settlers of Catan into the shape of Rogue Trader for a one-off last year. The production values of my version were absolute shnikeys (I had stick figures and my bad hand writing on note cards in place of the actual well done game cards :)). But it was fun to pit several members of a fading Rogue Trader dynasty working together and against one another to become the head of their fleet and conquer some new worlds for themsel....I mean the God Emperor! I might try flipping the FFG Star Wars system into 40k (I know I know...haters are gonna hate, but I fething love it). But, my general lack of time and spotty interest from my gamer pals in the 40k setting will probably put that on my giant list of unfinished malformed ideas. As far as homebrew critters and equipment, you could check out [URL="http://darkreign.org/forum/index.php"]Dark Reign[/URL]'s web page. Though they have been up and down and shuttling old pages to the new one...not sure what all was lost but there were some GEMS on the old site that I hope survive the recent events. Nothing like kicking fans in the teeth to make GW feel good about themselves. I don't even shrug about it anymore though. I just always look at fan sites and grab what I can before the boot comes down :). [/QUOTE]
