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.

Stupid Design Project: Traveler 40k

Dropped the Equipment 'framework' post.  Lots of pointless yammering about how I'll have to sit down for a second draft one day and apply the rules I set forth to the actual 40k equipment, but fuck me if it wasn't ten god damn pages in Word, and several hours of typing.  I actually thought I'd have time to do more! Silly me...

Still on my plate are two doozies, the Space Ships and the Psykers.  Now... it is possible I can skate on the Space Ships to some extent... at its worst I'm rebuilding on system by forcible translation, at its best I can excuse abstracting out most of it. You're loonier than I am if you believe I'm going to make deckplans for ships that measure in cubic kilometers.  That was never ever going to happen.

But Psykers? So much of making this project work hinges on getting 40k Psychics to line up, and that, my friends, is going to be a bitch.


Watch: when it comes time to do the actual work I'm going to breeze through Psykers like I was born slinging game rules, but I'll sweat every permutation of Starships like I'm giving birth to porcupines.
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.
