    There are some free adventures in Signs & Portents. I've run a couple of them and they're pretty good.

    Combat Armour/Battle Dress and Fair Fights...

    Also remember that even lower tech level planets have ways to hurt them. 50 caliber sniper rifles or HMG's are pretty low tech. RPG's are cheap too. How about an anti-tank rifle? That should put a hole in most armor.

    House Rules

    I'm probably going to be starting up a game either this week or next and I'm trying to work out my house rules right now as well. Reroll one's when rolling for stats - makes for a bit better pc's Fate points (spend one to survive a lethal injury) - stolen from wfrp. These are given at...

    Oh come on,get a grip - weapon dmg silly

    I thoroughly hated the way that lasers were nerfed in TNE. Of course, I'm not exactly sold on the idea of lasers being used as personal weapons though. Look at the stats that MGT gives them. Laser rifles are as heavy as rocket launchers. This is not a weapon that every soldier is going to...

    Oh come on,get a grip - weapon dmg silly

    That's a good way of answering that. Some sort of ceramic or plastic bullet that explodes after penetrating an inch or two would do it. Another way of doing gauss weapons might be to lower their damage and just give them a really high rate of fire. Yeah, they might make tiny holes but a bunch...

    The Imperium without the Ancients

    Just make them like the Aslan- they may look like lions but they aren't. The Vargr aren't uplifted dogs, they evolved that way on their own homeworld.

    The Imperium without the Ancients

    I would probably go with the idea of there being several "ancient" major races alongside the droyne. They fought it out long ago and reduced all of their empires to scattered remnants.
