On the contrary, paint chips off metal minis far more easily than the hard plastic ones. Both need to be washed with a medium bristle tooth brush in soapy water (removes the residue that they applied to get the molds to release the minis) before applying a base coat; either black or white. I...

As a shop owner I can tell you that 28mm scale will sell far more minis that the other scales, and it will also generate interest in the game. There will be far more crossovers from other SciFi based games. If a wide range of Tech Level ranged minis is made then that will also be a draw in for...

I am exactly that, my IQ is around 60 or so. I have read most of the posts on this subject and I am very puzzled about one thing. Why is there a big argument about what version we are referring to when we are posting on the MONGOOSE Traveller forums? Isn't it rather obvious that we are...

I am not sure what countries you are referring to. I am an Americano, my uncle was Canadian. He and I got along famously, we both shared the same values. We weren't blood relatives, but I actually liked him way better than my aunt; his wife. (He passed away is why I am referring to him in the...

I've already stated my opinion regarding Picts in parties at length. Simply put, Picts will not fit into most civilized based parties fine. It will all depend on the party make up. To use an example, the US military used Indian scouts (Aminds were pretty much the Pict analogy from REH) quite...

Heh, you have a delicate and intuitive sense of smell. But I would like to say that I NEVER mentioned the game system. Never. :lol:

Another game system that I liked except for it's lack of the very copy paste you mentioned drove me crazy. It had hundreds of spells in seperate lists and it would drive me nuts when it said "Kill XYZ: As Kill XYZ on the Butterfinger List". I really prefer the copy paste. But mine is just one...

Sweet! I've graduated to a Weasel! But it sounds like most people here already have that opinion of me. :P

I see what you are saying and empathize with most of it. My only problem is that I don't see most civilized people getting around the first interaction with the Darfar. If they even knew what a Darfar was. Now, if you are saying that when the characters all first meet that race knowledge isn't...

How do you define "element"? Element sounds like maybe a powerful minority, maybe like a powerful priesthood dedicated to Yog within the race. But the book doesn't indicate a powerful minority. It indicates a very wide majority. You might say "element" but the book says "most". "Culture: The...

Ack; I actually meant the British Iles, not just the main island, sorry. I think there should be a revision of the language, somehow. I-ran, Ja-pan. Japanese, Iranese. That way when my Brythonian slave girl gets captured by the Iranistani slavers she can yell: "I am getting captured AGAIN? Oh...

I don't mean to be insulting or nitpicking, but why ask him to tone that story back a bit? Especially if maybe the player had taken time to write up a page or two of background story. A really detailed story. He spent his whole weekend on it or something. And then he hands you this nice...

You and your group sound like you roleplay in a different way than the group I play with. None of the people I play with could really come up with a story that would make them depend on the other player characters that much. It's kind of a survival technique because while we have a core group...

Totrani is easier to say. English makes no sense, though. Why are there Eqyptians but no Britains? Or Britainites? I guess historically somebody from the Island was called a Briton, even as recent as the early part of the 1900's. Hmmm, Britainite sounds like a bad g movie name for something to...

I am baffled by your bafflement. You'll have to explain why you don't see where my "role" is coming from. I am simply asking you to put yourself into a role. Would you allow your Muslim friend on a plane with what he has in his possesion even though you know what culture he grew up in and what...
