In my copy, it's a standard 2d6 roll, modified by the DMs on the native Darrian table. The Aslan table is not culmulitive with the native darrian table and used for Aslans orginating from Darrian worlds of .7g or less.

Hi, my name is Rusty and I play Rollplaying games with miniatures.

And then the bureaucracies start breeding and we end up with the Space Corps Bureau of Paper Clip Standardization and Enforcement...

All I can get from google is that this might be a reference to The Mote in Gods Eye.

The father of one of my exes was an electrician in the Navy. Fist time he was told to make coffee he failed miserably. He got told to never make it again. Now my grandfather on my mother's side was Navy and my grandfather on my father's side was a Marine. Considering that the Marines use the same co...

That could be somewhat lethal... BUt I bet that we could build a better one using this kit: http://unitednuclear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=94 Yes, that is a handheld industrial laser. Notice the 5mm beam? As for an insurgents real weapons system.... DO you know how much wear and tear an AK...

That'll run you a few billion MCr. We will need to bill you some of the R&D costs.
And even the rats here twitch. We think that some joker hardwired a coffee maker into an atomizer and directed the output into the central air trunk. Waste of good coffee, but a brilliant idea.

The map is stuck in the left-hand frame. With that happening I can't tell what else is going on. Also, put into place a better instruction set. For example: I'm assuming that I have to put the UWP and trade codes of every world in every subsector into the input box, but is there a paticular format f...

Then all it takes is a plot device that allows mad science and they can chop up the bodies and sell Frankenstein style servants...
Whoops, did I just drool brass allover this idea?

The end result of my current obsession: Coffee Maker: Coffee, due to sheer force of tradition, is measured in Cups, which is used nowhere else. The only reason why it gets away with this is because it was wildly adopted wherever the Solomani went. In fact, the biggest consumers of coffee are the Imp...

Generic structure damage means you've lost power to the starboard hot-tub or the espresso machine. That's not a Generic hit! Hitting the coffee machine is as bad as hitting the fuel tanks or the engine! That's why I have an entire dTon dedicated to coffee making. Usually put in 4 or 5. *coughI'mjok...

IMTU, Self-Sealing only works against tiny hits, like the holes left by a micrometeorite. Low enough damage from a weapon might be sealable, but past a certain point the damage is too much and the decompression starts. Just keep in mind that the iris valves will automatically close if they sense vac...

I'd like to see you guys do your "Rule Bible", that one repository of all rules that you use internally to make sure that everything stays consistent. You don't need to publish it, but having that on hand for your writers is making everything flow much more smoothly.

A lot, unless you released them as separate books (Character Creation, World Creation, Ship Creation, Vehicle Creation, etc...)

Actual French, or did you just roll the dice and look in a dictionary?

That was one thing that I really loved about Aslan and Vargr: They both had glossaries of various words from their native languages! I felt that they helped me gain a better feel for the language, which would/could help me make my invented words sound more "authentic". So, what happened to the gloss...

Every book that has had deckplans in it never gave us the mapping conventions (dTon size in squares, overhead space taken up by various systems and conduits, various other crunchy bits...) IIRC. You can get the main idea of my gripes: I really like crunchy bits in my deckplans and I want more spacec...

You just really have to take a look at the size and configuration before extrapolating from there. Example: G/bikes are built on a 2m^3 cycle config. I would say that they're no more than .75-1.0 meters at the widest point. Call it a maximum of one. Length? 2, 2.5 meters. Let's say a maximum of 2.5....
