Quote from: dragoner;712474IIRC, there is Flynn's guide to magic, mongoose style, and old school, Chaosium's Thieves' World was stat'd out in CT terms.

Just because something's been done in a system doesn't mean it should; the feel of a system will affect the feel of the game, sort of like trying to play a dungeons and dragons adventure using Marvel Superheros as the setting, it just doesn't quite come out in the wash.

I should say here that the Traveller RPG would play quite well with this setting, from everything I know about it. Jeff's objections appear to have been some sort of proxy for his ongoing feud with Shawn, and had little to do with what was actually being said.

It seems to be a solid system, all told.

I agree with you on both counts, I was just speaking in agreement with Pundit about the 'CT can be used for any setting' bit.  I think this would work just fine with some minor setting assumption retooling.

However, you're not allowed to do anything with it until you've finished your OTHER project.  Now get back to work on it.  I'd like to see some post-ecopocalyptic stuff from you.

No, you are wrong because my objections are based around your flimsy understanding of the science upon which your setting is based. I have posted that repeatedly in this thread. That is why I suggested a science fantasy system instead of a science fiction one.

Ahaha guilt! I'm on it, I really just need the artwork done which is all on me.

Okay, can you clarify in as much detail as you can manage what exactly you find objectionable, because as far as I can see you don't understand what's being said.

As evidence, I yet again hold up your mistaking the gravity lens concept for an inertialess drive, and again point out that you seem to be making an equivalent claim to "nuclear drives won't work because you linked to an article about nuclear bombs and bombs blow you up".

Note the setting doesn't include psionics, teleportation, or faster than light drives, unlike Traveller. It includes intelligent space dinosaurs and insane transhuman warlord-collectives, but neither of those are beyond the bounds of possibility.

Wait, setting? What?

I was pointing out tools that could be, or have been used, not about "feel".

No, I'm not going to play this game of deliberate obtuseness with you. I explained my position before and you got butthurt over it in a big way, which escalated into me becomming very rude to you, so I'm going to just step back and let you have at it.
