Some very good input. Thanks.

I like the idea of a local "com-net" or "com-grid" in places where the technology level would be appropriate. Players would have to be within the operating range of the network... ...

During the course of the adventure, the players asked a valid question...

Can a simple comlink leave and store messages if the intended recipient cannot answer the comlink?

The concept of a coml ...

I had an NPC who was to be a major villain. He had minor force training, but he used those powers wisely enough to make himself appear far more powerful than he really was. In time, he had built up ...

My best RP buddies were ones I stumbled onto while not really looking. I.E.-I met one guy because we noticed he was reading a dragonlance book on the steps of our apartment building. He turned out t ...

Players often get frustrated when things happen to their characters that don't seem to tie in directly to the storyline, yet prevent the PC from completing storyline-related goals.

In my D&D games, I love rolling for encounters... even in town. Also, encounters for my groups don't always mean they are hostile to the PCs. Sometimes an encounter has turned out very fortunate ...

In my GM opinion, I would certainly say it's overpowered! Don't have my books in front of me, but don't Barbel's have about 5D Str + 1D resist to energy... +8D with this armor? We're talking 14D to ...

Also, I ...

I once had a GM/DM who used a system that (at the time) I didn't like very much... but I think I've since changed my opinion and am thinking about using it myself.

At the end of the session, our GM ...

Can someone tell me where the starship weaponry is listed? I'm going over my books and I can't find them. (My players are wanting to mount weaponry on their ship)

For the first offense, I give a stout warning.

If they repeat, I'd punish them ingame somehow... ie: have the officer "overhear" a comment about bribery, which is pretty much as bad as offering the ...

Usually, I treat my campaigns like novels. I usually sit down and write a very brief summary... a beginning... the meat of the story... and a potential ending (usually a good one and a bad one). Of ...

Almost since I played my first roleplaying session, I have had a problem with people grabbing from my dice pool and rolling with them. I've relaxed a little about that in recent years... but it still ...
