I'm thinking that I can use the "Emperor's Arsenal" from T4 almost as written. A quick convert on the ROF, and the Ranges, which should be very simple, and a whole book of awesome weapons ready to go.

You are awesome

As far as I can tell thus far, the armor and damage for vehicle and space combat are not on the same scale, and there's no way to convert. For example, a Launch (small craft) has Armor 0 (spacecraft). An air/raft has armor 2 (vehicle). A spaceship pulse laser does 1d6 damage (space scale)...

While I do admit I generally really like the new Mongoose Traveller, I'm a little heartbroken about one thing. There are no rules for when vehicles and starships fight one another. This was always a big problem with CT. You could get it to work with Striker/High Guard more or less, and MT...

The individual beam lasers in the AFV turret only do 4d6 (=laser carbine). It seems a pretty weak weapon for a fighting vehicle. I know you can fire up to 3 at the same target, but that isn't particulalry awesome. Are we to assume that if you fire all 3 at the same target it is a 12d6...

Do you get a skill roll for getting a Commission? If you get a Commission, can you get Advancement in the same term?

I'm surprised that no one else has mentioned the Sorcerers of the Scarlet Circle Prestige Class from "Scrolls of Skelos". They are scholar-martial artists, although like most sorcerers EVIL.

This was the first time I bought from Essex and I was generally pleased. The axemen and spearmen seemed a little "stiff" but the Pharaoh, Prince, Standard-Bearer, archers and slingers I got were all really good. I found all of them painted up very nicely. They are indeed true 25mm scale...

I bought a dozen or so Egyptian miniatures from Essex to use as Stygians. I had ordered them sight-unseen and when I got to the "axemen" I found that their weapons looked a bit unusual. It looked like a heavy metal ball with a tapering axe blade attached. So I decided to stat up a "Stygian...

There is a new adventure module up for download at Dr Skull's Conan cult. It's called "The Bones of Gorlak" and is meant for levels 4-6 or thereabouts. The module download page is: http://www.conan.delving.com/modules.php Enjoy.

Sometimes equipment on enemies matters a whole lot more than class and levels. Last game 2 of my 5th level players in heavy armor with bardiches and greatswords attacked 10 3rd level borderers with crossbows, battleaxes and shortswords. The borders were absolutely slaughtered in about 2...

Just be really careful about what armor you give the PC's. If the PC's have heavy armor, all the tricks and terrain advantages in the world won't help the Picts. Hatchets, spears and hunting bows just can't hurt someone in plate or its near equivalent (hell, battleaxes, crossbows and...

That sounds just like us when "Conrad Joe" ran us through that adventure. We broke into the magistrate's house at night, killed him and burned the place down, just from shear blockheaded frustration. As my current Conan PC "Bloody Turpin" says "There's nothing more important than spite."

There are notionally 10 people in my game group. Of which, around 5-6 show up at any one session. I'm never sure who is going to show, and who is not until the very last minute most times, sometimes it's only "ex post facto" that I know someone indeed isn't coming. So, in addition to making...

On the other hand, once you've fought a few enemies with DR of 10 or higher you'll appreciate that the 2d10 is not out of line. You might as well throw your broadsword, battleaxe and Bossonian longbow away once you see guys in heavy armor. I know I'm going to keep a bardiche or bill on my...
