Wow. That's some good insight. I am not sure wether to use it for the players or the NPCs. We are in the middle of starting a group. However, I am afraid you are spot-on with what the characters will do si I have to get the police on their backs before they unpack the PGMP. :) And a Signs &...

Hey, thanks Sturn. :) Right now three questions pop into my mind. a) Is there a special team structure in SWAT? I think I remember a documentary on TV about Special Forces, saying everyone in the team has a purpose like Medic, Communications/Electronics Specialist, Arms Specialist, etc. Is...

I am not choosy. I take what I can get. :) @rust: I am also okay with outdated (ok, WWII is too old). I am not trying to train my henchmen and overpower a local government..yet. I'll have to grow my mustache first. :) So, outdated is okay and the description on that website looked okay to me.

Hi, anynone know a good website or book which details on special forces tactics? I am looking for a detail level similar to this website..if that's possible without having to enrole myself. http://www.nme.de/cgi-shl/nme/swat_T_Ebbc.php

It features the option "sealed system" to protect the robot from water, corrosive gases, etc. I also lists underwater propulsion.

Well..13M announced the book yesterday. http://13mann.de/index.php?page=news_entry&cat=4&id=116 Looks like it actually IS coming out next week. :D

Actually it is flagged as "in print" and is supposed to be released during Feencon, which is in 2 weeks.

The question is: Is anyone doing/producing role-playing games for the big money? It seems there are ventures far more profitable than this one.

I think a translation depends on the success of the German book. When it is received well in Germany I see no reason for them not to translate it.

Thank you all for your input so far. I gave the ideas some thought but I see my group having difficulties accepting them. Here's why: The psionic asteroids (Shabazza?) and Berserkers will have a hard time being accepted because my players want a face to the threat. Making it more personal. If...

I intend to introduce a new galactic menace in my campaign. Something my players will discover "out there". An encounter not unlike when the Enterprise first met the Borg in TNG. However, I don't want them to be just the ordinary power mongers of the "the more planets enslaved the better"-kind...

hahaha..so true. First thing my players did was to divide up the rooms and arm wrestle about the captain's quarters.

I saved this particular episode (one of my favourites btw) for some other time. :)

They are misjumping because of an alien artifact which they mistook as a high TL air conditioning which they salvaged from a stranded scout ship on a remote planet and took as replacement for their broken AC. It is a plate about 1ft by 1ft and made of black stone. My players asked for a serial...

Currently I favour the research station hook. I can't make them bystanders to a battle. They have been more or less bystanders last time and I don't want to make them cranky. :) I guess I will start with a ghostly theme. They are stranded in an empty hex which happens to contain hydrogen in...
