tmikesecrist3

also if you use BTS you could have been a handful of mages running about, and they would probly have an edge when it comes to servival

tmikesecrist3

Anther thought, is how many Veterans do you have, That might be to old to fight, or have some form of disablaty. they wouldn't really be able to help in the fighting. by they might be able to help with training and planing for a defiance. also some of them Might still have there Arms and Armor, that...

Also it depends on if they are doing any Agriculture, Some of the villages if there not nomads they would be likely to grow things like Wheat (when tends to do well in grasslands) But even if there nomads (this also applies to the farmers as well) could raise domestic Animals, for the both Cows, hor...

tmikesecrist3

Well I live in Richmond kentucky....and was born in dayton Ohio.... both of which are in the magic zone if I am not mastaken. Now as a practising druid I might well be ok. and I think we would only be under about half a metter of ash and in farm contry wonce the wenter ended we should be haveing bum...

tmikesecrist3

It looks like theres some new stuff poping up, And I am more then willing to dust of TMs3 if any one wants to do any thing with him... He lives in centreal Kentucky, but has enough funds to travel on, my table top group has gon to the 4 winds.... one of them moved all the way to the land down under ...

tmikesecrist3

yeah the only thing left out is really how to handle skills, granted is been some time sinse I cract the cover on my first edition book, but I dont remember if they used the skill program and education level that alot of first edition games used... which gave you really skill havey PCs when converti...

tmikesecrist3

I dont know I drew a buch of isperation form supernatural. right down to the rock salt rounds temperaly dispelling ghosts, and other none physicle energy beings

tmikesecrist3

I would like to see this befor the end of the year my self but I am not holding my breath..... it is sad we dont already have this in our hands

tmikesecrist3

I think even in chaos earth I would throw in roving bands of thugs. even Warlords...

tmikesecrist3

oh I am sure, I was just thinking mostly about useing as as a supliment, and if you where using it for something like chaos earth it wouldnt need as much in the way of modifications. I think the biggest change you would need to make, like if you wanted to do something inspired by the Ashes novels. j...

tmikesecrist3

interesting thought, I never really thought that magic or spell working could be addictive. I wonder of the mage or shaman properly grounds them selves after spell work or ritual. That helps to drain off any exess power that was raised but not burned in the spell. I would think it would be the resid...

tmikesecrist3

I have been looked at that dead Reign book, and on thought that hit me is it sounds like it maybe a good source book for any apoplitc and post apolptic game. Am I reading more in there then is there, I got ahould of it becouse I thought some one the classes would be useful for my bts game. (mostly l...

tmikesecrist3

interesting thoughts, I have thought about adding potions kind of like you see them in Dresden files. I also like the use of magic items in the books it seem vary interesting and a way to help mages work with the limited ambient power...

tmikesecrist3

I am in now the LS forms dont seem vary active lately..... So I am in to....

tmikesecrist3

that is true and if I am teaching some one magic and occultism, and I do not have to teach them to read and wright, and to do basic math and science that makes my job easier, I can deal with the core subjects shall we say and let others deal with the general stuff, and let me round it out

tmikesecrist3

in my pb time line. it runs bts, CE, then rifts.. I have given some thought to magic, charms, enchantments... part of me think that The neo-pagans, and the odd old school pagan, should be doing ritual magic.... most of it should be subtle... not that I dont love a lightning spell or throwing a fire ...

tmikesecrist3

true but there are things that a Mage had to teach his puples, that are taken care of now by general education. so the mage can free up more to teach specialized things, so well in the past when basic education was not so freely available it may well have take 20 or more years. I would say now it wo...

tmikesecrist3

I have found using a secretive mystic order to be useful. In my case it was an order of druids, useful hook to explan how PSIs and mages got there training, also could give a pool of people that can hold offices in local govt, and law inforcment, as well as the suport of craftsmen and healers. grant...

tmikesecrist3

maybe we should all start a letter writing campaign and send hem weekly letters...... hevan knows I have tried making my feelings known on the forms, even tried a few e-mails

tmikesecrist3

I really wish the would get us those books, I do still use pb but I have not bought any thing new form them, only used and not near as much as I use to buy part of that is my money is tighter, and part of that is I am royalie ticked off. It has been 10 inches since bts2 was published and I got it as...

tmikesecrist3

I dont really mind a honest "negative" reading if it leads me to or contains solutions

tmikesecrist3

and lay line storms, it also may help make it easier to confine any nasty that does slip throw

tmikesecrist3

I do have some thoughts about enchanting and or blessing weapons or ammo. not a bad Idea actually... and was dealt with in the form of "the colt" in the supernatural tv show. I dont think every modern fire arm could be enchanted. The plastic might be a problem, as is the alumenam and ceram...

tmikesecrist3

I think part of the issues, Is there a number of phlisofical anarchist. That have come to light lately. Stefan Molyneux of free domain radio comes to mind. he is an Anar-capoltlist. he is not a evil man. and when you brake down the word anarchist you get ana (greek for without) acorn (rulers or mast...

tmikesecrist3

as for saying that mages have to be in there 30s, I dont see it.. the druids would teach an apprintess for 20 years before the became a full rank druid. but it took much less time to become and ovilet which did healing and devanation. (healing magic, orcails I would say herb magic, and scying mostly...

tmikesecrist3

I Can see this as being an interesting idea, And I can see how it works with defrent ooc types. About the only way I could make it work would be to make the pcs form the same village or kingdom.. the kingdom Idea would be like the heralds of Valdmar where many Defrent people are trained in the capit...

tmikesecrist3

Me I always thought that the defines had to do with some weapons drawing more power form the e-clip for greater range/damage, and some weapons not being as efficient with the power trainfer or the use of power form the e-clip. that being said I would think that weapon pay loads would be able to give...

tmikesecrist3

that is some good thought there, but we do not need to limit coin to gold and silver copper can be used as well... though trying to exchange copper for credits might be more of a problem... but on a side not the idea of striping ruined equitment for scape value might not be a bad idea you more then ...

tmikesecrist3

yeah I think I could use that as well.. since tech in my campianges tend to vary form place to place a great deal. There are places that still use metal coins as money *gasp* What ever they happen to have gold, silver, copper, there was one place that was even using alluminenom. Well some of those p...

tmikesecrist3

thanks for the help, I still need to fill out some Soviet Gear, maybe I should make a list tanks T-55 T-65 stats for the old M1 Abrams with the 105mm rifled main gun APCs. The BMP. Reoter wing the Ospra the Hind jet fighters and stake aircraft the F-86 saber (and the candair verren) the f-100 super ...

tmikesecrist3

I do not have recon. it does not use the megaversel system for one thing. it would really only be useful I think form about 1960 to about 1974 ish about the time when we pulled out of Vietnam

tmikesecrist3

on this issue I have long thought about ether doing away with mdc in my rifts game (not really viable becouse most md weapons dont do as much damages as sdc weapons) or Changing the ratio of md to sd form 100:1 to say 10:1 waking sd weapons and lower tech more viable but still give an advantge to md...

tmikesecrist3

A watch. Water purification tablets, If your in south east Asia Insect repellent,

Some one should Aways have a Back pack radio,

And colored smoke canisters to signal for air support

tmikesecrist3

Does this document help you? m It was created by someone else, but I am hosting it. Yes yes that dose help.. got US gear. kind of leave out the rest of nato. but that is a good start. and it does not even touch soviet block gear. I know some of nato uses older us gear but that is not always the cas...

tmikesecrist3

well 30 years would be late cold war if I rember correctly so that's not so bad. Rember I said I was looking for Soviet era gear. Trying to rember how much ammo do most rifle men carry on combat ops? of course I am not sure where that book is right now lol or even if I still have it. any way if I re...

tmikesecrist3

I think this is the right place for this, not sure. but any way, I am kind of kicking around in idea. for a possible campaign cold war/ww3. I think I can come up with milatary classes in pb for the pc's and npc's can even come up with small arms. the problem I run into though is with vehicles. I am ...

tmikesecrist3

Trying to compare PB megaversal system to other game systems is like trying to compare MacDonald s and burger king. Sure there both fast food restrents and sure there both serve burgers.. but that's about where the similarity between them end. Burger king is not broken because it does not have the b...

tmikesecrist3

I agree... I was running bts2 for a bet for some friends switching off every week with anther whom ran d&D on the off weeks... the only one that has any problems with it is the Munchkin/power gamer/cheater in the group that we have finely invited to leave the games and I cant say I am sorry to s...

tmikesecrist3

I would not say jeffers wife is not imaginative.... the issue is some of the rules and the lay is a little counter initiative... and the fact that there spread all over a few dozen books dont help matters any..... and porbly that she over complicates things... thats something people with more educat...

tmikesecrist3

I like the idea my self... and have been tempted to do something like it.... I think it should be submitted to pb for publication rather then a self published e book.... I dont think we need to re list spells or psi powers again! there's the game masters guide and the book of magic for those... and ...

tmikesecrist3

That's actually vary well thought out. and maybe I should have my players read this.... I have some exprinces with sword play myself and faver a long sword. And there are many ways to avoid taking a slide hit. the only thing I could wish for would be away to deal with being konked off balince. or ge...

tmikesecrist3

there was some one that gave ranged styles, that leveled like hand to hand cant rember who that was or where it was but I think it was posted in the forms... it looked like an interesting option.... but in a nutshell how many attacks you have are how many hand to hand attacks you have.... and I can ...

tmikesecrist3

for the most part I have played humans... no mater what rpg I play.... I like that well they dont have any state boneses they dont have any form of mineses eather in just about any game system I under stand what it is to be humans and playing humans let me expore other parts of the human condition.....

tmikesecrist3

The USD has value becouse the note says this note is legal tender for all dets public and private.... if fact if you refuse to accept the usd as payment for a debt by law it nolifys the debt

tmikesecrist3

oh I know the heat of a combat laser is to high you learn that reading Honor Harrington where they talk about how in there day most laymen think in terms of med lasers that cut and cauterize. the Energy transfer is much to high... Talk about stopping power....... and you more then likely would not h...

tmikesecrist3

I think the CS uses A Fiat system for there credits. some independent kingdoms may do so as well. other places will back up there local credits with what ever resources they have on hand. and still others and this is more risky but they do it just like some contrys who use the USD as there reserve b...

tmikesecrist3

some of those issues have already been dealt with... with burst rules and shooting wild you can fire off a 15-20 round magazine in one round..... but you cant do that with aimed shots... hell I have fired Rifles hand guns even assult rifles. but I cant not fire more then about 5-8 aimed shots in a m...

tmikesecrist3

there not? I mean I know lasers would more think lickly be invisable....... in the x or gama range........ but PB lasers are not invisable eather

tmikesecrist3

thats another thing I am not clear one... what effect does ECM have... and I am not sure how to handle pd..... I mean roleing to strick each missle could be a lot of roles.... I man cant a TGE Baskerey throw around 100-200 missles a launch? and adds are some would get throew..... so rollyng strick r...
