Re: Musings on Random Musings I'm not in much better shape. As far as working out goes, this whole year was a wash. Between injury, illness, sleeping problems, and work, I haven't gone to class too often this year. I could have tested for 3rd Dan had I gone to class more often. I've gained a bit of weight this year, and I doubt I'll lose it during the holidays. I remember you saying you broke your foot earlier this year, and I know how long it takes foot injuries to heal. So don't be too hard on yourself. Maybe you need a sabbatical. That's what I'm doing this year; I'll return to my workouts next year.

Re: Rail gun damage? That would drive up the cost!

Re: The cranky thread Why is it whenever I just want a quiet ride on the bus to work, there's always some loudmouthed f***tard screaming his fool head off? I'm glad I cussed at him before I disembarked.

Re: Do any of you still play 4th edition and FH Circa 1990? I never heard of it, but I did something similar a few years back.

Re: A Thread for Random Videos That's just because I haven't finished developing Muaykungjutsudo yet!

Re: Rail gun damage? I was thinking of having some supercooling system to avoid the railguns overheating. That was how I was going to explain it. This is a futuristic campaign, so I can include a little superscience there, right? But yes, the guns would still need a fair bit of maintenance in the campaign. Of course, missiles are still the ships' first line of attack, so I'm keeping tabs on the tactical nukes thread here as well.

Re: Rail gun damage? All good points to consider. Thanks for the input, guys.

Re: Rail gun damage? True. I was thinking for point defense, add Autofire and lose AP.

Re: Rail gun damage? Maybe 8d6 would be an absolute maximum, with guns mounted on the largest ships. 5d6 would be an average, with 3d6 being used in tanks and smaller ships. I wouldn't have any spinal mounts at this time because the setting is the near future, and first war in space is being waged. That would limit the firepower a bit. FYI, I'm using the same mechanic for all EM guns. Railguns would be the main guns of the ships, while coilguns would be used for point defenses.

Re: Rail gun damage? I wouldn't use handheld EM guns. They'd be mounted on vehicles. Infantry troops would use regular arms, although the bullets may have liquid propellants

Re: Rail gun damage? Thanks. Perhaps I will add a die or two for guns mounted on bigger ships.

Re: A Thread for Random Videos That's why I don't post in martial arts forums. For something that stresses humility and courtesy, there's sure a lot of ego involved (not that I'm exempt from that).

If I were to write up some of the spacecraft in my hard SF campaign, how much damage should I assign the rail guns? Is the damage in Star HERO's rail gun write-up good enough, or should bigger ships have guns that do more damage?

Re: Vault of Eternity: Adult Divine Dragon That would be good, thanks.

Re: A Thread for Random Videos NINJUTSU!

Re: Steam Trek: The Moving Picture My connection is too slow to download the entire thing. Maybe I can get one of my friends to play it when I visit.

Re: Vault of Eternity: Adult Divine Dragon Interesting stuff. What are the divine dragons like?

Re: "Neat" Pictures That "trippy" pic almost blinded me. My eyes are still recovering!

Re: New cool links: this time about space stations and the like I included most of the types of space stations in my sci-fi campaign. I'm a bit skeptical about the Globus Cassus, though I'll admit I haven't looked into it very much.
