[QUOTE="DrunkonDuty, post: 4571390, member: 54364"] Just a very quick reply before I head for work. Not that many Sci-fi games in my career and most of those died in infancy. But I do remember many lunch times at high school drawing up Traveller characters with my mates. Somehow I always got guys who were excellent at 0-g combat. Many ranks of it. BUT IIRC 0-g combat skill only offset penalties; to be able to do anything useful you needed the combat skills (HtH or guns or whatever) which I never rolled! 'Played' many characters to death searching for a useful combat skill. :-) Played some WE d6 Star Wars. My cynical, jaded old Jedi (he'd been a young man at the time of the Clone Wars, this was set after the Battle of Yavin) just annoyed the GM: he wasn't idealistic enough. I admit I DID keep bringing real world morality up against the tenets of the Jedi and 'proving' how the good Jedi were little or no better than the Sith. He was slowly coming back to the 'right' way of thinking but too slowly for the GM. He stopped the campaign in frustration. oops. [/QUOTE]
