I made a custom character sheet a long time ago. It was for my Aftermath-Phoenix Command conversion. The most important innovation was pre-figuring the Combat Actions at different weights. It wasn't hard because the break points occur at weights like 10 lbs, 20 lbs, and so on. Pre-figuring...

Another thought: Bring the Dumarest influence to fore. Dumarest travelled. He was always going somewhere new, having an adventure, building up a stake, then moving on to the next step in his quest. Don't use the published adventures in the podcast. Leave them for new players to discover...

Hrrm. For the 200Cr phones, it's .035 Cr per parsec in shipping costs. So, what is the price that the market will bear? What is the price that the market will bear on each world that the cargo ship can deliver to? That creates the range. The maximum range is where the cost of shipping...

That's no joke. It's hard to introduce a new player to Traveller without a flood of exposition.

Stranger Things showcased the characters' D&D campaign as a major theme from Season 1. People doing it on TV suddenly made it not just for nerds anymore. Critical Role did a very good job with their youtube show, and having celebrities come on was a great idea too. What's funny is that posers...

Would their melee reach even be enough to reach the bear before they're swatted?

They are so done. It could charge and trample them / knock them down, then maul them. Ordinary bears can rip car doors off their hinges, so this thing will tear armor apart and tear characters limb from limb. Even if they kill it and it collapses on someone, like if it dies while it's...

Keep in mind that a 16 foot bear is larger than the largest prehistoric bear ever discovered. It will probably weigh close to 2 tons. When it swats a character, he will fly. Its bites will sever limbs instantly, and it will probably crush or dismember combat armor. A polar bear's skull has...

Here's one:

Definitely needs more strippers.

That's awesome 🤣

There are so many elephants we need James Woods saying, "We're gonna need a bigger room."

Ok here we go: "When the jump drive is activated, a large store of fuel is fed through the ship power plant to create the energy necessary for the jump drive." JTAS 24 pg. 36. So the ship's power plant processes tons of LHyd in an extremely short time to charge the jump capacitors, which can...
