If you take a look at the map as a logistician would, that's a loooong way off and the Imperium would have a lot of warning during which they could build ships and activate reserves. The K'Kree have no realistic invasion route to the Imperium coreward of Khuur, at the rimward end of Ley...

Text tends to lose nuance but that seems like sarcasm. If so, you'd maybe be confusing the order of events. Charles ignored the will of Parliament then there was the war and execution as a result. That's why I said "And yet they brought down, then executed, a King who took that literally."...

You could claim that the early 16th century English parliament had, in simplified terms, only the powers of granting financial subsidies, duties and taxation to the crown, impeaching crown officers and proposing legislation. And yet they brought down, then executed, a King who took that literally.

It leads people nicely through the process in a way that's probably clearer than the spreadsheet for beginners (although I would probably use Technetium or Arkathan's sheets, myself). It probably needs a bit more feedback in terms of why things cost what they do, especially around TLs. I was...

I think I’d disagree with that. Just from the adventures I own, these do not require the party to own a ship, although some do provide one and in a handful of them the party could even end up owning it: Last Flight of the Amuar Theories of Everything The Calixcuel Incident Theories of...

Yeah it has a tendency to do things like garden worlds which are hundreds of Celsius (not Kelvin) at the equator and tech level 3.

The use of “ought to” was a bit of a red flag. David Hume has some pretty firm things to say about people who say what is the case based on what they feel ought to be the case.

This is some ridiculous, 70s-Funhouse level malarkey. The only reason I could possibly see me allowing this IMTU would be as a result of some fun-loving Hiver having some unauthorised high jinks with the K’Kree, again.

A major part of that dichotomy is that the Soviet Union funded and supported several civil society movements in the west that were aimed at removing or making unacceptable the western nuclear deterrent in order to weaken their Cold War enemy. They didn’t do the same about carpet bombing or...

Equipment for embarked troops is kind of a different conversation. The Mercenary rules give the required cargo space for the equipment for various types of troops. It also talks about the readiness element as well (and not defrosting your platoon and sending them right into combat), as do the...

I saw a Professor Dungeoncraft video where he looked at the views on their Daggerheart content and the ad income at stake (huge!) and pointed out that their decision was all about rapidly declining interest in, and views for, the new system and the sheer financial impact of moving away from 5e...

I like the twin approaches of varying difficulty and varying bonuses. It’s instinctive for people to know “this task is very hard but my character is very capable”. In addition (pun intended) a lot of people find “is 2D6+2+1 at least 12?” significantly easier than “is 2D6+2+1-4 at least 8?”...

To further reclaim the thread from the offtopic (and kinda tired) routine, I've been reading the second book of the Singularity campaign and by God I love it. I'm so frustrated that I have two groups right now, both playing PoD: how am I going to get to play this very different campaign? I...

I just saw MonsterX’s post then yours and was baffled by your peremptory response. Then I remembered: I showed hidden posts and there he was…

He does this in just about every thread that gets past 2 pages. Like you, I will back the Pioneer kickstarter despite having some doubts as to whether I'll ever actually play it (or even want to play it). I've said it before, but I will back it for the same reasons as I support artists even...
