    How I wish I knew what each color signifies.

     

    Somebody rep this, huh? I gotta spread it.

     

    The various colors are as follows (taken from the Wikipedia entry on Blackest Night)

     

    Red Lantern Corps (Rage)

    Agent Orange (Avarice)

    Yellow color: Sinestro Corps (Fear)

    Green Lantern Corps (Will)

    Blue Lantern Corps (Hope)

    Indigo Tribe (Compassion)

    Violet color: Star Sapphire (Love)

    I've played it once or twice. I found the system a little bit complex for what it was trying to do. I actually like Teenagers From Outer Space better for that sort of play -- simpler stats' date=' simpler dice mechanics.[/quote']

     

    My college gaming club played Toon particularly at Cons. But we eventually came to the realization that we didn't need the rules just people who understood the idea was to be funny to have fun. Some of the worst puns ever came in these but everyone was having a good time.

     

    :D

  16. Space fightercraft in RPGs.

    In my campaign setting, there aren't any single- or two-man fighters, but there are small vessels which fill the same role as PT boats, with similar crew and armaments. (About 16 crew, and a rack of AWESOMEs.*)

     

    *Atomic Warhead-Equipped Spacecraft Ordinance MissilE

     

    These sound like the LAC's (Light Attack Craft) from David Weber's Honor Harrington novels. Small craft that pack a punch that you can't ignore.

  23. STAR HERO Reading List

    Re: STAR HERO Reading List

     

    I'd add on Niven's The Integral Trees and The Smoke Ring. The setting alone has been percolating on the back burner of my mind for some time.

     

    In addition to Cherryh's Downbelow Station some of the other novels in that same universe particularly Merchanter's Luck, Tripoint, and Finity's End. All three are set in the same period as Downbelow.

     

    Someone not on the original list that I would add is

     

    Allen Steele - Coyote, Coyote Rising, Coyote Frontier to start. There are at least four more novels after those but don't want to over load the list after all the summer is alway shorter than we want.

     

    :cool:
