This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Skyrock;315693The whole equipment section in one evening? That's an impressive pace, even if most of it is quick&dirty transplanted from other SC games.

Caffiene rocks!

I did a quick and dirty transplant from Sweet Chariot 2 which I used as a basis for OHMAS. There were so very many differences culturally and technologically that the lists were essentially rewritten entirely. For example - pants. Elizabethans didn't wear pants. That's how fundamentally things had to be approached. I doubt 10% of the lists are the same - mostly the mounts section.

I would love to play test this, but...but, but, but. My regular playing group is down to 2 sessions a month until the summer ends. We use this time to play test other things. I will try to squeeze a session in if possible. I think a play test is only effective, however, when you play at least 3 or more sessions.

If you can't playtest it, Rich, even a read and comment would be extremely valuable. I value your insights highly.

My bi-weekly FtA! game (and a possible Traveller campaign) already eat up all my available gaming time, so I'll have to pass this up.
At best, I could get around to review it after the fact, but first get the play-testing done.

Thanks, Stefan! I'll send you the game when it's done then. :D

Clash, I haven't put the "at best" into the sentence for it's aerodynamic attributes.
I'll need to see how my work situation is at the time when play-testing is complete. Since the last delay with the FTA!GN! review, I've remained in the fire brigade of the company, getting shifted to whereever the regular staff can't cope with the workload and needs additional hands.
This makes it tough to make estimations for several months in advance regarding my workload, and it's awkward for me when I can't stick to my promises.

When nothing gets into the way, I'd be more than happy to do so, though.

Understood, Stefan. Review it when you can, no timetable, no guarantees. OK? It's not like I don't have a real life too, and can't understand! :D

Let us re-examine that when the dust has settled. It's awkward for me to receive an unique snowflake treatment.

Of course, if potential reviewers are once again as scarce as for FTA!GN! or Wild Blue, a late review might yet be better than none at all.

Unfortunately too true. I'll ask again later, then.
