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.

Fascinating
"Ghost Whistler" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Parental death, alien battles and annihilated worlds.

Neat stuff; info inbound (at least later today) on my take on something from the map per request. Use as desired or deride as necessary.

Things like this is why I love sci-fi.

Thanks for putting this out there for public consumption.
I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.

So what is the function of governments/organisations having aspects?

Quote from: Ghost Whistler;380597So what is the function of governments/organisations having aspects?

In FATE if you "tag" or invoke an aspect of someone or something, you can get a bonus in conflict against it if you pay a fate point. In Starblazer, organizations have skills and stress just like characters.

So if a mercenary company was carrying out a raid against a rival organization and had an aspect of "experimental military hardware," they could pay a fate point and get a bonus against whomever they're raiding.

They're also useful as just general descriptors.

For one thing, as Descriptors. For another, you can tag the aspect and use it. Example - A government has the aspect "Feels Your Pain". You have been robbed. You tag that aspect to try to make the government do something about it.

Based on some scribblings from last week's session, I put together a space station map in Inkscape. Once again, I think the collaborative aspects really worked out. I can't wait for my players to see this. :)

Once again linked because it's huge.

Just wonderful. Got room for another at the table? It'd have to be via Skype, of course.. ;)

Keep the good stuff coming and I just might have to buy the game.

Thanks a lot! I'd love to say yes, but I've already got six players -- I don't think I could handle another. ;)

I've been experimenting a little with using Diaspora's cluster system to indicate trade and diplomatic ties, rather than slipstreams:

I'm trying to decide if this is a good idea or just an eyesore.

I statted up a carrier ship and made a quick illustration in Inkscape. Vaguely based on the Von Braun from System Shock 2.

Again, way too big to show inline.

Yoink!

That will make an awesome Star Wars Spire Station. Thank you, Sir. Awesome work.

Thanks, and my pleasure. Let me know if you want a version with the text removed -- it would take only moments to make.

Just thought about Deathwatch, and Gamma World too! LOL I should be able to edit the thing myself, but you never know - I'll keep your proposition in mind, IM. Thanks. :)

Oh. What fonts did you use for it?
