    Wraith Recon, and 4e, what is it and what is the GSL?

    Alternatively, 1st level could be taken as the base point for special forces, and stuff expands from there. This would make more sense to me than forcing the players to start out as raw recruits. After all, 4e seems to have moved the PC power level up from where it was in earlier editions.

    Wraith Recon, and 4e, what is it and what is the GSL?

    Well, because the base that's developing them isn't the same. Given that the night vision goggles in our world are based on lenses and electronic enhancement of vision, I would think that they would look MUCH different than ones developed through magic. For instance, the magic ones might just be...

    Wraith Recon, and 4e, what is it and what is the GSL?

    Sure. I can buy that equivalents to things like nightvision goggles, flashbangs, and all those other cool things you find in Rainbow Six developed using magical technology (magitech?). But the key word here is equivalents. Not direct analogues that look exactly the same. As with all things...

    Wraith Recon, and 4e, what is it and what is the GSL?

    I'm honestly not a big fan of the cover art at all. The idea of fantasy special ops is a kickass one, but I'd like a bit more fantasy than M-16s getting replaced with crossbows. It looks far too modern (scoped sights on a crossbow?), jarringly out of place (camouflaged chainmail?) and altogether...

    Wraith Recon, and 4e, what is it and what is the GSL?

    I'm quite psyched to see what the interior of the book will hold...but I'm going to have to wrap the Wraith Recon cover in a brown paper bag or something. :P

    Mongoose picking up any WEG properties?

    West End Games goes out of business, selling off IP. I'd be interested to see TORG, especially go to a good home.

    It's Paranoia, but not as we know it ...

    One conversion for Paranoia which I've yearned to do was a Warhammer 40,000 riff. Dark Heresy, but playing up the self-defeating, ridiculous, and comitragic nature of the Imperium. Bureaucracy, stifled innovation, and utter paranoia over the nature of the universe...it fits pretty darn well.

    Brave New Complex!

    As diligent readers of the Paranoia Development Blog may have noticed, Brave New Complex has been announced on part of the Traitor Recycling Studio. This is a PARANOIA book that (as I understand it) will be published by the TRS through the Flaming Cobra imprints line. Brave New Complex is a...

    Traveller and 40k rpg both in February?

    Waiiiit... People are complaining about the lack of role-playing opportunities present for Space Marines...on the forums of the company that produces Starship Troopers? :P

    Used Models and Repainting (help da n00b!)

    I just bought a bunch of used minis (both metal and plastic) for $3 (yay good deal!). But the previous owners had decided to paint directly onto the metal, without priming first. (They also did a lousy paintjob. :( ) Can I spray a black primer coat on and just paint on top of that? Or should I...

    Question

    I'm betting you got that from either the first or second editions, Paul. They're the ones who have such meticulous weapon stats. :)
