86% (fynyx) With each ship's specs snugly fitted into a page, I can imagine them forming panels in a game screen, say for convenient reference as basic templates, while designing in modules for larger ships perhaps?

- (Guardian) Yeah, you can use the standard cyberware for subdermal mounts, upgraded armour and the like. Unfortunately, the book doesn't include stealthweave, so you can't make a stealthy Free Agent UAV type. So the only charge would be the usual ones for the gear. 10 SPs and cold hard cash, like any other cyber-hero.
A pdf does seem a bit of overkill for a page, though I could add a clip art of a robot in there I suppose.

80% (someone_else) Simple, easy and convincing.
For the ones that don't really want to open Foundry each time they want to design a bot but don't want to lose the "timen" feel in their games.
Btw, can other cyberware be used to fake add-on robot systems?
Let me tell ya, its looks can be improved, and a Pdf would be way better.

82% (uncle_jimbo) Looks workable for a certain set of assumptions about robots (which, to be fair, will cover 90% or more of the SF that features them).
For Combat Specs (or the same questions could apply to any type, really), would you charge anything for attached weapons, upgraded armour and so on, or just consider them as equipment?

| Battle Tech RPG Ams & Armour | Sokolov | 29-07-2010 | Homemade | 7 | 87 |
- (Sokolov) Yeah i know. The Equipped Trait and the Wealth Trait are in the Battle Tech RPG. The tech/availability ratings aren't very well explained, sorry. The Tech ratings are effectively the PL required for a world to produce the item. The Availability ratings are more for the GM to have an idea of how easy it'll be for PCs to get the item on each world/time frame. Legality ratings are pretty much the same as Availability Ratings in PHB. Am re-writing this in Office Writer and will be converting it to PDF ASAP. Thanks for the feedback guys.

|
| Battle Tech RPG Ams & Armour | Sokolov | 29-07-2010 | Homemade | 7 | 87 |
87% (uncle_jimbo) Reliable-looking stats with some concepts that are new to Alternity to my knowledge, such as support lasers. I wasn't sure what specific game effect might apply for the tech/availability ratings - they seem complex, but vague, without (perhaps) using the rules for the Equipped trait.
|
| Alternity Statistics for The Rescue | uncle_jimbo | 14-08-2010 | any | 7 | 86 |
- (uncle_jimbo) I'd say Alternity stat blocks provide more information to run an encounter and the damage system in particular is more complex, making them bulkier than Traveller equivalents. I've considered using an abbreviated format, though.
APs follow what I'd probably award, myself. If the party gains all of these they will be doing well (particularly, saving both the miners and the shuttleport) after at least four hazardous encounters and success in a wide range of skills. However, if a GM feels it's too much, they could cut it back to 2 AP for rescuing survivors and 1 AP for restoring the city's vital services.

70% (fynyx) I like the less common idea of miniatures simulating zero gravity movement, especially for sheer 'vertical' drops (if that makes sense any more in zero-G), and upside down!
That's a one-up which sci-fi roleplaying, especially Alternity (Star*Drive), typically has over fantasy (D&D included)!
(I'm remembering that memorable space walk from that Star Trek: First Contact movie...)

- (dalexgray) Jimbo, thanks for pointing out the spelling error and rules about Social Status. I never played a game where social status meant anything and I didn't even know the rules for it.
I've moved contacts into the personal information section and changed the box for contacts into Social Status, complete with space to write in the modifiers for social status. I think it looks much better. The file should update pretty soon.

- (fynyx) Dear Sokolov,
Just passing by, and I want to make a suggestion to a fellow OpenOffice user.
I use the current version 3.2.0, which we know is freely available via OpenOffice.org.
Using the 'Save as' command, there should be an option to convert to .DOC format (up to Windows XP), although I don't see an option for .docx (the more recent XML format).
You might want to explore that capability, and make .DOC or even .PDF versions, which may prove to be convenient for quite a few folks here.
Do keep going!

Should Social Status break down to Authority, Wealth and Fame, or is it intended more for a rank or title?
"Enochin" should be "Enochian".

77% (uncle_jimbo) From what's presented, mutant grades seem useful as a concept and perhaps could be improved by less reliance on role-playing penalties to balance combat advantages from high ability scores, which conventionally would count as a further mutant advantage. Skill point deductions, as non-human characters, or sharp restrictions to ability scores and skills that players are likely to want (DEX and INT, use of human technology) might bite harder.
There's not a lot to discuss yet. It might help, in particular, to describe the campaign premise or style of adventures you have in mind.
|
| Alternity Hero Record Sheet | dalexgray | 28-06-2010 | any | any | 94 |
- (Badger1stClass) Well my suggestion, at least, was to stick to one orientation. I didn't specify which orientation, though. So if "portraiting" the Skills sheet doesn't make sense, which I absolutely believe, could you maybe landscape the other two pages?
|
| Alternity Hero Record Sheet | dalexgray | 28-06-2010 | any | any | 94 |
- (dalexgray) When I did the skills portrait I kept running into the problem of three columns not giving enough lines and four columns not being wide enough. Maybe I can pull it off if I move "background" and "equipment" to another sheet.
I'll make the edit for the mutations section, S_E. Now that I'm looking at one of my printed sheets it does seem a bit out of place.
On a side note, when I get these printed at FedEx Office (formerly Kinkos) the cyan always ends up royal blue. I was told that Kinkos always prints colors kind of dark, and maybe the paper has something to do with it too, but I can take the blue color down a notch for the next revision.

87% (Badger1stClass) Awfully nice go at it, I particularly like that you got everything "core" into just as many pages as the original hero sheet, and still found room for custom things like "Campaign Skills." My one big criticism is that having that one page landscaped and in between two portrait pages is kinda jarring for me. It breaks up the flow too much, I think.
If it were me, I'd stick to one orientation.

I am not an artist, but when the extent of the “artwork” consists of elements which simply set a tone, I can general replicate those.
I am glad I was able to keep the feel of the original.; it just makes for a higher production quality.
