Nova Wars Baby!

Truely awesome stuff! You have got my creative juices flowing to start working a Sci-Fi Pulp campaign idea that I have. Keep up the great work.

OK, I'm back, finally. I won't be posting very quickly, but I will be posting. Just give me a bit of time, I get tired pretty easily.


Let's see... I'll see if I can dig up my work on a few of the systems, and finish the map on the "object"
 

*stoops down to pick up his jaw*

Man, that's simply crazy! :-)

One thing: I'm mightily interested into your add-ons/changes to the starship construction rules found in D20F. Are you converting the ships found in the book or are you cooking up your own? And if so, any chance of sharing the "how to"?

Thanks in advance!

HOLY CR@P!

This is very impressive, I would drop down the cash for this if it were in a gaming book in a heartbeat. I have been looking for some info like this for my D20 future homebrew, for a long time (even before D20 Future came out). I can guarentee you that I will be using a large portion of the material you have provided, Warlord Ralts!
 


First thing first, this will be collected into a PDF, maps and all, and available for download eventually. Everything in this thread will be OGC and completly free of charge. Mostly, I'm collecting and tweaking everything here.

Cryo/Stasis Systems

Developed in the late 20th Century, cryogenics was the science of freezing a subject for later retrieval. Problems with crystallized fluids causing cell walls to explode, superconductivity in neural tissue causing "cryo-mares" that resulted in insanity, and many other difficulties hindered the resusitation efforts on subjects. Worse yet, the cellullar damage due to ice crystals forming in the cell nucleas proved that ressussitation of previously frozen subjects. Until cellular regeneration and repair science could reach the point of being able to repair that damage, then previously frozen subjects were stuck in cryostorage until roughly 2345.

Until Chrythedelian was developed in the early 21st Century, cryostasis was a one way trip. Chrythedelian was a biological anti-freeze that allowed the cells to be "frozen" but ice-crystals would not form and rupture cell walls and damage nucleaus of cells.

Now, Cyrostasis is an old, time honored way of inducing suspended animation. Replacing it is the new "hypersleep" technology. A chemical that enters the viens and stops aging, as well as shutting down brain function. Unfortunately, the brain functions that stop are only the higher functions. The more primal functions remain working. This has proved a problem in transporting some convicts or creatures, who must instead be transferred via cryostasis.

Stasis equipment serves several functions. From freezing accident or disease victims until appropriate medical services could be provided, long-haul vessel crews, military hypersleep, emergency stasis for escape pods that must be used far from any civilized areas, or slow-speed colony ships.

::more later. I'm a little tired.::
