[QUOTE="HellHound, post: 3442853, member: 3397"] Thanks, Midget, that is really the feeling I would like to get with this system - however I don't want it to be too intensive when it comes to book-keeping. (The system is a simple Stat + Skill + 2d10 vs DC system with stats and skills rated from 1-10. A difficulty class is a +/- 4 modifier) I like the idea of tracking each time the tech changes and marking it on the character sheet for skills... So if you slip off of 'cutting edge' you are ok, but then each time that tech comes up on the chart, you get a -1 on that skill until you update it. Maybe provide a free 'up to date' bonus whenever you level up a skill, otherwise requiring something less than the 'cutting edge' cost, but still a pain in the butt to maintain. Again, it means tracking the skills AND hardware on your character sheet for tech changes potentially after every game session. Which sounds like a potentially huge pain in the butt. Especially for the hardware. Maybe only run skills that way, and hardware only goes to 'out of date' on the 2 & 20 results on the table - thus keeping the book keeping under control. [/QUOTE]
