Re: Amazing Adventures - Star Siege
Not having had it myself, it was what had been said by others that had and had played it. If that information was wrong, it's wrong. But it sounds more like it was simply a framework when stated in that manner. I'm not sure what "simply a framework" means, but, I can state that the intent...

Re: Amazing Adventures - Star Siege
From what I've been told/seen, it is a full on supplement to AA and re-written to fully (or at least greatly increase) use the SIEGE Engine rather than its former incarnation which apparently didn't. It hasn't been released as yet, though I think the Twitter contest give away is sort of the prelude...

Re: Thoughts on StarSIEGE & Star Wars
In the past I had lots of thoughts on this concept... I haven't thought about it a lot recently. Maybe I can find some time to ponder it more.
There were discussions in the past we've had that were pretty useful:
Psi Score and The Force
Lightsaber Stuff

Re: StarSiege Relaunch
As far as I've been in touch with Steve at GenCon, I will probably be bowing out of this project. Steve wants to hew more closely to the other SIEGE Engine games and I feel like that is both a disservice to the SIEGE Engine and to the first edition of StarSIEGE. But, I completely understand the logi...

Re: StarSiege Relaunch
Hypothetical question: How upset would people be if the Fashioning/Trapping System got a major overhaul. Like, so much so that all previous build-outs would be pretty much null and void? Just trying to get an idea on how attached people are to it. I've been thinking of streamlining the system, but d...

Re: EV revisions or scrap it?
There is one last thing: what IS 1EV? Actually, 1 EV is pretty much coded in the Ad Hoc stuff: it is a 1'x1'x1' cube of matter between 6lbs and 24lbs of static form. And we determine how many coins fit in a Chest by it's capacity... if it has Capacity of 10, then it carries 10 EV of coins... and if...

Re: EV revisions or scrap it?
Another option would be to use the EVs as listed but change the Total Encumbrance Rating and how Capacity Items work. Do it as such: Worn Items Remove the Worn distinction... just remove the (W)... leave the EVs untouched. Capacity Items Items that are designed to carry and redistribute the weight a...

Re: EV revisions or scrap it?
That looks pretty good. I highlighted in red what I believe is a correction in the math. My book shows a Backpack's EV of 2(w). The total value of the contents of the pack is 7. Divide 7 by 2, because it is stuffed into a load bearing item, and you get 3.5. We don't like fractions so we call it 3. ...

Re: StarSiege Relaunch
I agree with many of the concerns about Options1/2... I was just trying to figure out if there was a way to still keep customization high while streamlining things a bit.

the way I see a basic general space/science fiction role playing game is set up very mush like fantasy. Let me just say this as plainly as possibly: what you're suggesting just isn't going to happen. At least not with my name as the author. When I designed SSEH there was no bait and switch to the T...

Re-learning new game systems it not as much fun as it was 20 or 30 years ago. I have things to do. Just to be clear... if you understand the SIEGE Engine from C&C then you know how to run a SSEH game. The only difference is what numbers you add to your die rolls and there isn't a separate rule ...

For what it's worth, the Troll Lords asked me to write them a game and then asked me to write the second edition.
