Re: Active headphones?

According to wikipedia, noise cancelling headphones are from the 50's, for aviation, and 1989 for commercial availability.

I remember in Golgo 13, a manga and mine, the main character uses some kind of headphones, it may be exactly for noise cancelling/amplification. That manga was from the 70's.

Re: About Virtues

You may still consider it a neat house rule if you want a happy marriage though.

Just tell her that 2 times is the new maximum :D

And of course everybody else can take it twice for fairness sake.

Re: Can you pin Xenomorphs?

According to some of the Dark Horse comics (IIRC) the aliens can retain some practical knowledge from the host, so they may know how to disable lights and also know spaceships hold people and can go to places away from right here. I believe many things are not explained or badly explained by the peo...

Re: Scavenging Vehicle Parts

What I'm planning to do as a middle ground is to have some rarity of parts needed for some cases where I want a bit more tension. Some vehicles may need a specific part and I will make a roll to see if it is available among the pile of parts the players have and if not if it is available where the p...

Re: Where are the spiders?

She is an elf from Lorien. None in our table are Tolkien hardcore fans nor anything like that, the book says spiders is a valid enemy lore and I imagine she disliked spiders enough in real life so she chose that. As I'm not constrained by Tolkien lore I didn't mind introducing spiders to the west, a...

Where are the spiders?

Good day! One of my players made a hunter with Enemy Lore (Spider) and I realized that those are not anywhere to be found as basic foes in the core book. For our first adventure/campaign I'm making a nameless thing a spider creature and added some spiders to one final encounter, but used wolf stats ...

Re: Vehicle armor

you can take a page from Twilight 2000 too.

Armor 2 above base weapon damage ignore the weapon completely. But armor piercing is a straight -1 or -2 to armor instead of 1/2 armor.

weapon damages and vehicle armor are similar between Alien and T2K.

Enemy Lore

I may be in need of some advice with the Enemy Lore distinctive feature. It seems to me it is a bit limited compared to other DF's, specially Shadow Lore. As a GM I'm making this long arc of the campaign big bad enemy a spider, because one of the PC is a warden with Enemy Lore Spiders, I'm planning ...
