House Rules:

1. Starting Level 1
2. Sources: Star*Drive, Alternity Player's Handbook, Mindwalkers, Arms & Equipment Guide, Starships, Dataware
3. No robots, AIs or non-standard aliens.
4. Psionics, mutations, and cybernetics are all approved.
5. Assmue maximum starting wealth and signature equipment.

Combat Spec = 3000
Diplomat = 6000
Free Agent = 4000
Tech Op = 4000
Mindwalker = 2000​

6. Use www.invisiblecastle.com for die rolls in the game.
7. Starting skill points for every Alternity hero = (INT ability score x 3) + 30. Humans still receive their extra 5 starting skill points on top of that. Aliens and mutants do not...
8. Maximum starting broad skills for every Alternity hero = 6 + (INT resistance modifier). If a hero's INT resistance mod is negative instead of positive, it actually reduces the amount of starting broad skills they can have.
9. Skill costs for ranks higher than rank 1 = list-price.

I'd prefer to use the D20 Modern/Future ruleset, as it is what I am most familiar with, if I end up having to GM this one. Whoever GMs though will have say over what system is used.

 

[Ozmar]

Cool. I'll keep my eyes on this to see if it goes anywhere. I can't commit to running it at this time, but am interested in playing...

Anyone else interested?

What is Star*Drive, a preexisting world, or a home brew?

What is Star*Drive, a preexisting world, or a home brew?

Star*Drive is a SciFi setting using the Alternity rules that WotC came out with.

 

[Ozmar]

It's pretty kick-butt, too. It is the only scifi setting I am familiar with that makes perfect sense, from the perspective of applying human history and nature and extrapolating it out into the future.

I too am a big fan of the system. And a game sounds great.

I think I could be interested in playing. I'm itching to get a feel for how d20 Modern/Future plays before I start my own campaigns with it.
