You know I have a couple of dungeon crawls planned for my campaign (a Drakh cathedral and a research facility that was experimenting with leftover Shadowtech with predictable results). I think Tomb of Horrors is excellent advice. :twisted:

A shame if they are running low. I can think of a few ideas for books that I could write 100 pages for easily. Here's hoping they'll manage to put out at least a few more this year...

I'll second this! I'd love to have some hints at what's coming up.

Perhaps a Profession check? Profession roll result x days worked - lifestyle cost and some sundry expenses for gear and extravagances? (preferably on the low side, too, since savings never come close to money earned...)

My impression was always that the "Rim" was sort of a split metaphor. For the younger races, it's the extent of the jumpgate network, the "rim of the known galaxy" in other words. In the episode w/ Captain...Maynard? Sheridan's friend who captained the Explorer-class vessel...anyway, in that...

Some sample alien artifacts, some alternate advancement templates for your PCs (for example: the Xenopsychologist, which has alternate class features if you multiclass as a Diplomat/Scientist), a few exploration-based ship systems, history of IPX, rivals of IPX (and there's a LOT of these)...

Not as such. They have speculated and joked about it, but haven't taken the possibility seriously yet. They are working on modifying it to a linear format, rather than circular, where I suspect it will see some unexpected and interesting usage. But that project is on the back burner for the...

The auction went over quite well. It was a few months ago, and we've had one major time jump in the plot since then (they were working security on Babylon 4...) but it worked out. Having a lot of extra items really made the auction interesting, I felt. Mostly they saved their money for the...

I ran into this problem in the past, and I think it boils down to a "speed of plot" issue. If the ship was designed to run with a small crew, well a small crew should be able to run it. If it's a warship with hundreds of crew, three people probably shouldn't be able to pilot it. But then if...

Generally I give them all the same influence rewards. It hasn't proved problematic, and since the campaign rewards tend to be in different areas each time, they only really shine in the areas they work on with their level-based influence. +5 to each seems like a lot, but unless they get more...

The only challenge in converting 1e to 2e comes in ship stats, if you ask me. They introduced a whole new ship stat, construction and combat system for ships, so any old ship stats are meaningless now. Well, that and Technomages might not translate very well into the new edition. (for...

I recommend Bounty Hunter as another book to look into. It might not help as much with an Earthforce campaign, but it has a lot of good material that was touched on in the show, but never elaborated on in full. Plenty of plot hooks and info on bounty hunting (and related activities) to be found...

Oh! I see, sorry. Well first off, while I like Earthforce as a campaign idea, placing the PCs into a command structure is usually difficult, PCs being what they are. However, if everyone goes in eyes open and there aren't many personality conflicts (or if everyone is ok with the command...

We've been running a net game of D&D since our DM moved to another state. A simple program called Gametable (creative I know) and Team Speak has been our method of gaming over the net. Gametable isn't perfect, but for free it's a good little program that handles die rolling, images, mini...

Yeah, age is probably a factor in that. But there's an outside chance that it's a character thing. Dureena (sp? The thief on Crusade) wanted to kill Sheridan, after all, and it was an interesting point in her character development. But most likely it's just an impulse to mess with the status quo.
