Re: Gurps Space 4th edition from what i've read on their forum they will not have ship construction in "space" at all. that will be in a separate "vehicles" book.

Re: SpaceCraft Miniatures... http://store.ironcrown.com/category.jsp?category=2517 takes you directly to the silent death mini page (free shipping on metal minis). i'll be buying some.

Re: Pesky Vehicles. ...LV-426 lifeform ??with facehugger and chestburster along too ?? Cool !!!

Re: How can I do THIS? I don't think it works on animals, only sapients. but that's based off my impression of the ability, not a "factual" statement.

Re: templates and basic models? both attacks are a 10D6 Energy Blast (lightning) doing energy damage, but the gun has several Limitations on it that reduce the Real Cost. The already mentioned Focus, which has several "levels" based on how easy it is to determine that the "power" is coming from an object and how easy it is to take the "power" away. The typical gun is an OAF (Obvious Accessible Focus), it's easy to determine where the "power" is coming from and it's fairly easy to knock it out of hand...this is a -1 Limitation that by itself will halve the cost of the power. The "Real Weapon" Limitation basically means that it has to be maintained like a "real" gun or it may stop working or lose some of its effectiveness. I don't remember off the top of my head how much of a Limitation this is, but I think it was around -1/4. Then there's "Charges". This takes a page or two to explain in the rulebook due to all the options, but basically this replaces having to spend END to use the "power". If the "power" has a low number of Charges it has a Limitation, if it has a high number of them it counts as an Advantage (which raises the cost). Hope this helps some and I hope I got it right as I'm going from memory and failed my Ego roll to overcome my "Laziness" Disadvantage and get off my butt to check the book.

Re: How can I do THIS? Ah.....I can't remember what it's called, but the Astartes (space marine) has to eat some of the brain to gain this knowledge. He can't just bite a chunk out of someone's arm to do that.

Re: Armor, damage conversion and stun This is from the "Our Products" section of the website. And I agree that this would probably be right up your alley. Despite its name, it's not a "super hero" book, not by a long shot. But like everything else HERO it can be used that way. Dark Champions: Hero’s fifth genre book, Dark Champions looks at the modern-day action-adventure genre — everything from vigilante crimefighting, to espionage, to technothrillers, to special forces, to cops and robbers. Filled with character creation guidelines, example gear and weapons, GMing advice, and information about subjects like forensics, the underworld, the illegal drug trade, and criminal psychology, it’s an ideal resources for any game set in the modern day.

Re: New Clix hey bunny bill with keyes !!!!!! just a little correction, GW does not make 30mm bases. They make 25mm, 40mm and 60mm round bases. But one of the Warmachine bases is 30mm. And on that note, I have to admit that I don't know if GW measures the top or the bottom of the base to determine the size.

Re: Calculating Dam Red into Campaign DEF Max off the top of my head with absolutely no time for thought. 15 resistant.

Re: Ãœbermensch wasn't that Divis Mal's "movement" ??

Re: Horrorclix! Scary minis by the fistful! Ummmmm....I go on ebay and buy the individual figures that I want. With something like heroclix that has several "power levels" but only one figure, I buy the weakest/cheapest one. Because I just want the figure, I have no intention of playing the game.

Re: Device Question: Gravity Leveler yeah, Flight (only in contact with a surface that can support the weight) and (only up to normal movement speed). and either UAA or the 1 hex AoE. the first one cause we never saw her run/ride across water. the second so she can't run faster than she normally can, but should be bought up to whatever speed you think the bike was going. the third so she can ride a bike up/across walls. these are off the top o' my head.

Re: Starship Deck Plans / General Resources mongoose has deck plans for both the hyperion heavy cruiser from earth and the narn's g'quan heavy cruiser.

Re: Supernatural Special Forces claymores filled with silver BB's instead of steel BB's. someone earlier mentioned the dragonbreath flamethrower rounds for shotguns, i don't have a link (or even remember where i read it), but you would want to use those in a double barrel NOT an auto or semi-auto. then throw it away and grab another, cause it gets the gun so hot it warps it. but the super hot barrel might just be usable as "fire" damage if you've got a beasty in your face.

Re: Curiousity about vampires and werewolves i thought it was electronics, not technology in general, that magic made "not work"

Re: Jedi and evil actions if i remember the WEG rules right, strictly by your description, no the GM shouldn't have done that. but also according to the WEG rules if your character tried to TK the bounty hunter (even just to take his weapon) that automatically gets a Dark Side point. i always thought that getting a Dark Side point for dropping the energy cell out of a blaster that someone is going to shoot you with was stupid.

Re: M&M pees in HERO's cheerios... Ha Ha !!!! I've fooled those pesky M&Mers into peeing in their own Cheerios !!!!! and I've secretly added about 14 powdered Imodium tablets as well.

Re: That flat cardboard tank doesn't look threatening... i thought HO scale was 1/87 ?? EDIT: i was right. http://www.trains.com/Content/Dynamic/Articles/000/000/001/296zmshd.asp

Re: DC Suckverse? but they're bringing back "the warlord" aka travis morgan.

Re: Standard Effect Idea nope, i like that too.

Re: If you liked the movie Equilibrium it's not even that good.

Re: Comparing starship speeds. i have nothing to back this up, but to me the new BSG's FTL is a megascaled teleport.

Re: Mutant Chronicles the brotherhood's art of teleportation is going to be very difficult to do as it is in MC. seeing as how a very skilled teleporter can only teleport 55 pounds, max.

Re: Mutant Chronicles i don't know enough about G4e to help with your decision because i can't justify buying a new version of a game that i haven't played in over a decade. so i'm probably gonna go with HERO for this, i just have to figure out how to make it very lethal for non-combatants and lethal for no-name combatants. i'm thinking about base stats of 6 for non-combatants and 7 to 10 for mooks (depending on their quality). more later.

Re: Mutant Chronicles there's also a miniatures game being produced by http://www.excelsiorentertainment.com/ and i have all those books !!!! and i keep thinking about doing a conversion to HERO but i keep being a lazy procrastinator
