[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 5266562, member: 51930"] thanks! I'm checking it out now. I think the question I have is... well, in D&D you can use "magical wards" for all sorts of stuff: the character is frozen solid, the character slides three squares, whatever. However, in Sci Fi one needs a specific cause for a specific effect: you can slide a character several squares using a conveyor belt, or a gust of wind from an air tank, or even a tractor beam. That means, however, that there should be a reason for that object to be in that situation. The idea of a malicious dungeon creator is... well, relatively rare in sci fi. It's not normal. the only exception to this I can think of is Alien Vs. Predator 1, and maybe the first Resident Evil movie. Otherwise, the dangerous terrain elements are scenario-based, or creature based, as in Aliens where the colony is in ruins (holes in the floor, reactor leaks, etc.) and the xenomorphs are running rampant (dripping acid, and of course eating the soldiers). Yes, I've thought of an Aliens in Clone Wars adventure (and have the old Aliens board game, so could maybe figure something out for this). However, I'm looking for other options, other one-or-two session scenarios for the PCs to get into. [/QUOTE]
