[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8064630, member: 6704184"] Thanks! It was mostly the classes that I lost work on, and there are threads for each of them that I can mine for the basic ideas and discussion about them, so it could be worse. Babylon 5 is another inspiration for both the Space Fantasy! project and Chevar. It's funny, because the two projects are in many ways the opposite of eachother. With Chevar I wanted to purpose build mechanics to play out the stories I wanted to tell, so there are contacts, assets, favors, downtime rules (before 5e came out :cry:), and other widgets that player characters have access to that can be used to push the story and help the game play the way it's intended, without the things I don't like about games like Fate. OTOH, Space Fantasy is built from the ground up to play using 99% just the PHB and DMG. Your energised sword is just a sword with an added d6 of radiant, thunder, lightning, or fire, damage depending on flavor.
