Regardless, I'm going to use this system as an example of why demands for realistic sysgen are a waste of time; show me one sysgen that could have generated this very real one before this week.....hell even GG in torch orbits are barely accounted for in supposedly up to date ones..... :lol:

Well apparently I have to make it again since someone decided to delete ALL of my posts here (including the initial one making the point). :roll: I'm pretty sure that needing to repeat yourself isn't the best lesson to be learned from this. :|

Wow, just wow...... Ok, saw the pdf on drivethrough, but no sign of a hardback. Decided to check here ( been a long while) and...wtf ? Ok, so, not having the time or spinal fortitude to work thru all the discussions, could someone clear up a few things ? 1. Is the pdf a pre release playtest...

Okay, that makes sense. So, anything released under the OGL is open and can be used, this includes D&D, traveller, and any of the other stuff. However, using Just the OGL means you can't say it works with, is compatble with, or is designed for the closed ruleset, correct ? The example of...

Huh. Actually, i just redownloaded Hyperlite, and just checked, it references the traveller Open system doc as well as the SF 2d6 thingie. - I thought it originally had a "compatable" logo, this may be a new version ? edit: checked my older archived copy of Hyperlite, and it doesnt have...

So.....these are rules to generate characters that are compatable with the Traveller SRD, but not the Traveller Logo Licence ? because to be compatable with Traveller (the logo licence) one cannot include character generation ? How can somthing be separate but related ? Seems...a bit...

Yeah, usually I blow off most updates, but Original ST was intended to be "better FX than what is currently available on network TV", so upgrading it some works fine for me. That said, I got the set for my wife for her birthday. Scored Major husband points. Now thats a nerdlife triumph !

Well, speaking as someone who also has one of those, I have to say that unless it is actually in a related field like, say, planetary science, it's pretty irrelevant to the discussion, except as an attempt to add gravitas to what is otherwise just another opinion.

A fair opinion, and one which we can obviously disagree on. I wouldn't characterise anyones behavior as hero worship if I didn't know them, but maybe its a blind spot on my part; or maybe it seems more perjorative to me than you intend. Regardless, leaving all unfairness unfixed doesn't...

Honestly, Rust, I could not care less. Seriously, I get a product I already like the beta version of, in a format that is, by todays expenses, worth the basic retail price: 75$. If the extra money goes to Marc and FFE for their 501K, no problem for me. plus, consider how much of the final...

Going into fanboi shill mode ! t5 kickstarter now at well over $250,000 raised -last stretch is 2000 backers & its at 1912. Last chance! 14 hours to go ! Give in to your inner fanboi ! JOIN US ! (and I mean this with all sincerity !) Even a 1$ bid adds in to the final backers total. (hint...

feel free to dive in and edit, mr. smartypants.. ;) See, a real editor costs money. So, I gotta do it myself, or look for pro bono work. which takes time - the other thing I can't afford. So, it goes slowly. It's free, and that's part of why.

Thanks Colin, always nice to hear from actual sources. Me, over and above everything else, its nice to see that it isn't still a nonsensical made up slang word that begs for interpretation and discussion: I mean, its a designers semi-inside joke future word that really sounds (and is used)...

well, since harn is pretty hard fantasy (yes, I have it and enjoy it immensely), I'm not sure how well they'll mesh conceptually, but fer crimminys sake, let me know how it goes. Book three may be helpful, as it speaks more to campaign design/generation than to the travellerization of Swords...

I'll be passing it on to mine: Game Kastle. Great idea and program !
