Re: TSR Alternity

I liked alternity alot and we played the space battles part twice and it worked out great, but kept zipping off the battle mat.

Rolled up characters but never played. I wanted everbody to be starfighter pilots. So everyone had pilot at level 1 and pistol 6, demolitions 5, so i axed the game. i'd of killed everyone in the first game.

I liked star*drive but to an extent it was little dark for me. D20 future that just came out has a synopsis of Alternity, Star Rangers and a couple more games i'm not familar with so you can play them.

Yeah when they got star wars alternity got dropped like a hot rock. 2 bad.

game on!

Poul Anderson's Flandry of Terra series in that area. Decandent Empire with new up and coming empire outside. He's a intell type guy.

There was an episode where the Galactica fired some kind of beam at a planet and it destroyed all the nuclear missiles being fired at opposite sides. It was a multi-episode sorta like nazi's in space.
