 March 23, 2008 - 10:20am | Since this was brought up recently as an appreciable subject, I thought I'd start a discussion on what people like or don't like about current aquatic rules and what vehicles and equipment they would like to see. For AER, I'll be grouping the ship construction rules in with the vehicle and spaceship construction rules for a unified system. But there's a lot more stuff to discuss. You will need to be a member of AER to view the following links. If you do not wish to join AER, you will find the information in the articles A Fistful of Credits and From Freighters to Flying Boats in the Dragon Magazine PDF at starfrontiers.com. A list of aquatic vehicles with descriptions. There are also various vehicles in the Star Frontiersman. What other vehicles can you think of? A list of aquatic equipment with descriptions. There are also various vehicles in the Star Frontiersman. What other equipment can you think of? A few special aquatic movement rules. What other aquatic movement rules would you add? Rules for aquatic effects on the body. Is there anything else needed? There are currently no aquatic skills. Are any needed? How about underwater station rules? Would these be similar to space station construction? How would they be different? |

 March 24, 2008 - 8:41pm | There was a community written module for Gamma World that you can get for free here http://www.waynesbooks.com/downloads/GW5%20Rapture%20of%20the%20Deep.pdf Start at page 45 and there are rules for underwater that could be tweaked some for Star Frontiers. There is also some equipment descriptions that could also be of use including some weapons (Blue-Green lasers). If you look at earlier pages there are some creatures as well. Hope this helps. |
