The way that SJ Games builds in a complete navigation/bookmarking system is great.

Ugh, how disappointing. I found jedavis's review to be quite helpful, as he was clearly sincere and obviously upset (as was said, reviews from a "hurt" customer are always believable). And frankly, knowing that the book was written by the author of Robots really turns me off. That book had...

An interesting point of view on the level of detail, but you are talking to someone who is playing GURPS at the moment and enjoying every nitty, gritty detail... For me, the CSC was the product that got me interested in Traveller. If it were to become oversimplified by ignoring the fundamental...

Actually, I think that's backwards. The automatic rifle is correct, it's the self-loading rifle that is wrong and needs its damage upped to 3d6+3 SAP. That said, there are clearly issues with all damages. There really ought to be several tiers of rifle ammo damage, and there are, but they...

Good stuff, but I disagree on the autorifle. I think the assault rifle and autorifle are two different weapons, basically corresponding to a 5.56mm assault weapon and a 7.62mm battle rifle in today's terms. The increased damage of the autorifle is balanced by the higher Recoil and lower...

I'd probably be interested in a 2300AD subscription type program especially if it involved a print/PDF combination.

That is a sweet cover!!!

I'm new to 2300AD, but I can basically tell you that the discussion are trying to have right here and is all the justification they needed for changing it. Guess they were right! :wink:

Not quite true. There is the whole GURPS Spaceships line with rules for designing...uhh...spaceships. But in Pyramid, (Alternate GURPS...I think it's #3/36 or so) there are rules for adapting the Spaceships rules for most types of vehicles. It's nothing like Vehicles for GURPS 3rd Edition...

This might be a strange request, but I'd like to see an "Advanced Rules Supplement" for stuff like Hit Locations in combat, partial armor, advanced options in melee and ranged combat. Sort of a "these rules may slow down play but they add detail" kind of thing. I don't know that anyone else...

If there was real added value to the second editions beyond incorporated errata, then I'd definitely buy them. Specifically, CSC, High Guard, and Robots would be books I would re-buy if they were completely "fixed" (beyond the errata--you'd need to include all the missing rules alluded to in...

Personally, I like the chargen system as laid out in Terra/Sol Games' Tinker, Spacer, Psion, Spy supplement. It's the best of both worlds and I like how it de-couples the second skill roll from advancement and links it to survival instead. Good stuff!

I love those books. They are very fun and quick, light reads.

To each his own indeed. Everything you listed about MGT that you don't like is exactly WHY I like it. Of course, if I want a non-random chargen game, I'll play something else entirely. Like GURPS.

Personally, I find that the High Guard changes to lasers make little to no sense. Especially since beam lasers get exactly the same accuracy as every other weapon, it's hard to argue that they are "accurate." They are only accurate compared to the -2 that pulse lasers get (note that this is...
