  1. I wanted to express some love to the great people on these forums. I was going to make a comprehensive list but don't want to insult someone by accidentally forgetting to include them. You know who you are. Anyone who has been around a little while knows who you are. You may have a 500 reputation here but you're all 1000+ in my book. 

     I found this most excellent resource in 2013 chasing Magic World dreams. That still makes me a noob to a lot of you people.

     So many have been so incredibly helpful in not only helping me understand the mechanics, but that gaming ISN'T JUST about the mechanics.

    You've helped with far fetched  ideas, weird concepts, artwork, inspiration, pointed out my mistakes, pointed out my triumphs (few that they are😀) and always have made me, and so many others, feel welcome, even when you were likely rolling your eyes. 

     I know I wouldn't be here now, having actually published books, if any of you acted as the mongrels  I've seen on other RPG sites.

    The Chaosium community is top notch, all the way from the president and board of Chaosium down to lil ol' me.

     “We are all Us.”

    Thank you ALL.

     

    (please use this thread to show love to others if the mood strikes)

  2. Just got the proof copy of CORE Book and it's got a few errors I want to correct before releasing it on DTRPG. 
    STAR SYSTEMS proof is being printed as I type so I'll get it to proof read in a couple weeks.
    STARSHIP CONSTRUCTION just got approved by DTRPG and is on its way to printers for approval by them. 
    *PHEW* It's been a busy month!

    I'll be working on the first module more as I wait for these to wrap up.

     Decided on calling modules "Chronicles". Feel kinda silly that that title escaped me since I still call the GM the Chronicler in QUASAR. 😀Attach144698_20240415_200623.jpg.bba1587032e97f515d3e8da7c0f2f4fa.jpg

  3. What Atgxtg said above with Powers is where I was leaning as well.

    Also if you want items to be ranked based on character experience, you could have some effects cost power points to use so they are say 2 uses at 6 PPs per use of certain effects,  equaling 12 PPs, if the character had a 12 POW score. But... that might be too crunchy. You may be limited to coming up with a chart of all possible effects with an additional cost per effect based on the power level or rank of the effect...UGH. I don't envy you creating THAT chart. 

      I keep thinking about the old Star Wars d6 game from West End Games. They had rules for upgrading personal weapons or equipment that caused you to sacrifice character development points as well as cash. But doesn't sound like thats what you're after either. 

    Unless I'm misunderstanding you just want quality Ranks in gear. The better quality, the more possible upgrades. I think the Super Powers is probably the way to go. You'll just have to find a proper substitute for Character Points to Cash ratio. 

     I would warn you, however, this can cause some crazy powerful characters if they come into a lot of cash. I think that's what using development points helps balance out.

    But... in real life I could buy a .22 caliber rifle for a little money, an m16 machine gun for more money, or a tank for a lot of money. 

    Hmmm. Apparently I'm not helping at all and will go back to my dark corner😀

  4. Been a rough couple weeks but I think I finally have QUASAR STAR Sytems and Starship Construction ready for Print on Demand approval from DTRPG. Actually had Systems done a few days ago but found some errors that required attention.

     Still waiting on QUASAR Core printed books to be delivered for proof reading...

     Also working on the first QUASAR Adventure Scenario. Mapping out a Frieghter, shuttle, and vital parts of a Starport. Think every Scenario I create will have deck maps for starships vital to the Scenario, download(75).jpeg.df0c70894ec20c737defbef070ef4520.jpegso each book will also give that bonus material.

    I haven't picked up QUASAR yet; it's on my "to-buy" list, but I'm unclear on this point:  if you're still basically using BRP core(?), there's AFAIK absolutely no reason you couldn't submit your next(ish) publication to the contest.

    It's mostly BRP Core. I added starship movement ratios, weapon energizing, shield recharge ratios, all based on reactor power diverted to those components, for space combat.

    Added like 50 races.

    Also changed psionics quite a bit but other than that...

     

    I do have a campaign world I was working on awhile back but I've too many ideas for QUASAR rattling around in my pot to turn my attention. Working on an adventure module and Print on Demand for the other three books right now. Have two or three ideas for QUASAR supplements. Its only me over here😀

    I'm wondering why a reptilian species would have such massive boobs, or any boobs at all?

    Lol!

    With ya! Ai Art isn't perfect just yet. I actually saw AI made this pic and TRIED to make her have 4 breasts just to be MORE weird but it wouldn't do it 😀

    Don't worry about us all that much, nor our corrections. 

     However some of you do follow my progress and even purchase my materials.

    Not only that but the good people of this group have held my hand and taught me a LOT since back when I was a newb. And even now.

    The decades of experience with BRP and RPGs in general here is such a valuable commodity! 

     I'd be a fool and an ingrate not to listen. 👍

  8. Might be going with "Emprise"...which is just another name for module. I dunno. My wife says keep it familiar 🤷‍♂️

    Anyway the first Emprise, or module, is in development. It will include a kinda horror  introductory scenario and deck plans (battlemaps) for at least two freighter class or larger starships as well. 

    I'm thinking each Emprise will have some larger ship deck plans included. That's one thing I always missed in other sci-fi RPGs. Whata you good folks think?

    Of course this is just a prototype image and all just to get my juices flowing...

    The creators of Event Horizon might take issue😀Screenshot_20240222_220428_Gallery.thumb.jpg.e60b214c4df0c1dd3ee5cb805daa3986.jpg
