Star Smuggler. I think that's it. Thanks heaps.

I am searching for a solo game book I remember owning back in the 80's. I rememebr iteither being a Traveller game, or a very Traveller-like game, designed for solo play much like a hybrid of the old Fighting Fantasy gamebooks and a true RPG. You owned a starship, traded between worlds with...

I still think there is a flaw with the size mods. in A:2089. What everyone has said here is right by the rules, but a few problems are encountered when you put it in practice. From Lane SHutt's reply, a Human has DV = 10+total reflex save bonus + size modifier and we ignore size mod to DV when...

I've never been really happy with the rule that all characters receive Shot on the Run as a free feat. Especially when it means that civilians, technicians and other non-combatant characters can utilise the feat without any combat training. Instead, I am going to be including the feat as a...

I was wondering if anyone has thought about how to represent physical skills/sports such as parachuting, skiing, SCUBA diving, etc. in the game? There are skills for basic physical abilities such as jump, climb and swim and I have thought about including new skills for Parachute and Ski (SCUBA...

Thanks for the response. This was the way I was leaning as well - ignore the main rulebook reference and use the scopes from Soldiers COmpanion and assunme anything mentioning an inetegral scope has a 1.5x scope. However, I was reading a couple of books about military automatic rifles and...

I have a question for any those more knowledgeable forum members out there regarding communications devices and computers in A:2089. The main rulebook describes that a hand computer operates as a phone so I assume it can link with the internet using a mobile phone signal. In your opinion do...

I have for a while now being trying to sort out the issue of scopes and range increments in the Armageddon rulebooks. I was hoping some of the list members may have some advice or come up with their own solution. (I am also posting this on the rulemasters forum hoping for a response/errata from...

The rules llok good so far. From my very limited understanding (couple of physics courses) it seems a more realistic framework than the system in the main rulebook. That was one of the things I found disapointing about the rules was the extent of effort put into developing (fairly) realistic...

Lane Shutt, havhow are you progressing with the alternate rules for NBC weapons ? I would love to get my filthy idea thieving hands on a copy when you are done (hey I am a scavenger at heart).

I recall there being a discussion a while back regarding the establishment of a Yahoo group (or something similar) for Armageddon where people were talking about posting rules ideas, etc. I tried following the link from the 20th Century Armour post but get a return saying that the group does...

Thanks for the suggestion. Problem is if I do that I need to use a credit card online and then Mrs. Kraken finds out how much I actually spend on gameing products :( Normally I don't have too much trouble getting hold of stuff (living in Sydney and all), but some companies (Mongoose and...

I have yet to get access to a copy of Cybernet (doesn't seem to have made it to the stores in Australia, I guess that's what I get for living somewhere that doesn't seem to exist for most game manufacturers/distributers). For those of you who do have access to this book, how much of it would be...

Another anoying newbie question from someone who probably should read the books a bit more. With regards to the Armageddon War itself, can anyone tell me - are the two protagonists actually "At War" or simply engaging in cold was era mercenary, covert operations, proxy warfare, etc. I assumed...

Hi, I am fairly new to the Armageddon 2089, having only just finished reading the main rulebook, and was hoping some people on the forum may be able to help clarify some of the rules. My main concern is with the new size table used by Mongoose in the book and its effect on DV. If I am reading...
