EDG, have you posted at all on the COTI boards regarding T5? I just received the raw PDF for T5 and am interested to see if you've 1) read it and 2) have noted if its system generation rules cover the kinds of details you were hoping to see in the World Builder's Handbook. Happy to take this...

is vector movement still used for spaceship combat as in CT?

I can't go to GENCON later this month, but I am sending a "delegation" with instructions to pick up any possible "advance" copies of titles available. Is there a chance that there might be some goodies available? Thanks!

oh, you are totally right there, but I just like to see those lovely tables printed out

It's been suggested in a response to one of my earlier posts that Mercenary might also cover primitive missile weapons. Is anyone else wondering about this?

Can someone throw us a bone?

I don't care for the artwork in SM -- I would not say it's an improvement

Thanks for the link! This is what I need!

I picked up my copy of SM at Games Plus in Mt. Prospect IL yesterday and scanned through, wanting to read about the "history" section that I remembered so fondly from the two Library Data LBBs. I must have lost it since reading the Library Data books a while ago, but I had a timeline I worked...

I guess where I was going with the Imperial control idea is that in my view, the Imperium wouldn't allow a Microsoft to create a system without direct government control of its development (this is not to say that a highly bureaucratic government wouldn't create the same mess for which Microsoft...

Obviously for game purposes, it would be next to impossible to account for what kinds of communications technology the Imperium, Alsan, Droyne, Hivers, etc. might have invented -- I've never read anything that tries to explore this. If a character has Computer skill, is it assumed that he...

That's true about the supplements... I am thinking Bow Combat and the associated weapons might appear later-on. I keep thinking this rules set is going to have everything...

Dagger is pretty straightforward. Stiletto, switchblade, penknife, box cutter, utility knife, leatherman, classic "D&D sized" jeweled dagger, etc. Blade is a little iffy for me. Something like a corn knife or machete? Or a kukri, Bowie knife -- heavy knife with enough heft for hacking versus...

Has anyone ever seen "Sunshine" ? It came out last year -- I completely missed any buzz for it -- but it's the closest thing to 2001 I've seen. Basic premise is that the sun is dying due to a Q-Ball and we've sent a ship with a nuke compiled from all the fissile material on Earth -- the ship...

Yes, good call on the specializations for the Art skill -- I knew my details would be off there... Seriously, though. Are there other skills that should be included for these two? For other Entertainer types, you could do Madonna or Christine Aguilera or Jessica Simpson -- although all three...
