Re: Building Better Worlds PDF Feedback

Ignore. Its a typo. But an in character typo. P110.On the data table for KOI-610.01, the population entry states the reported population is 900'000'00 (900 million). Later on P173, the same colony is said to have an reported population of 900'000 (900 thousand). One of these figures is wrong, I'm as...

Re: Inspiration thread: Books, comics, movies set in a similar setting to Alien + Aliens?

I recently reread Ocean by Warren Ellis about a UN expedition discovering alien artefacts under the Europan ice. The artefacts in question being a whole bunch of ancient near-humans in stasis pods with their planet killing weapons. Hinted they may have seeded Earth with life a billon years ago, burn...

C-Sickness

Love the preview material. Like the explaination of NDD and why it forces crews in to hyperspleep during FTL flight. But I think I'm going to have the slang term be C-Sickness because my group appreciates bad puns.

Re: Space Combat?

Yeah the technical manual painted a pretty unpretty picture of non-space opera space combat. Orbital webs that shred starships, beam weapons taking place across massive distances so far you need to take "windage" and hope the target hasn't changed vector since your sensor readings pinged o...

Re: Printer Friendly Character Sheets?

Edit: Responded while Mod was responding.

Again, if you know of a PDF reader that works on Android or ChromeOS that allows you to manipulate layers, please let us know. I've not been able to find a single one that even mentions layers.

Re: Printer Friendly Character Sheets?

And for those of us on platforms where PDF readers do not seem to have any ability to delete or switch off specific layers in a PDF? Not a directed complaint, but I'm really getting tired of this "answer" to the "print friendly" PDF question. Alternatively, if you can point at an...

Re: Interesting setting details

Walmart basically became Buy 'n' Large from Wall-E. 😀

There's a fan produced Alien RPG made for the Fuzion system that had a Resurrection supplement that detailed the effects of the plague. Not sure if it was just stuff the made up or if the based it on source material such as comics and books.

Re: Predator?

I imagine that's a separate license that would need to be negotiated.

Re: Firing into combat

You could spend DP to have an ally count as cover for the target. Roll the cover, and damage absorbed by the cover is treated as sixes on an attack targeting the friendly.
