 November 30, 2008 - 11:02am | I think I prefer Perception, Reason, Charm, Leadership... which is combo of above choices. The terms should be intuitive replacements for the originals so that inter-operability with the original game is maintained. <insert witty comment here> |
 November 30, 2008 - 11:06am | I cleared the votes and added your suggestion. I'll do the same if someone has a new suggestion until we're pretty happy that we've all had our opinions voted on. Pretty fair, eh? 3. We wear sungoggles during the day. Not because the sun affects our
vision, but when you're cool like us the sun shines all the time. |
 November 30, 2008 - 1:15pm | So it's derivative. There comes a point where there are just no words but the right words, and one simply has to tell Whizzards to "friggin' bite me." And, I don't mean friggin'. 'Sides when the courts prosecute the whole damn Bush administration for treason, then we can talk about copyright infringement.

November 30, 2008 - 3:42pm | So it's derivative. Nobody's saying they WOULD or even could give us problems over using their selection of ability names, we're just streamlining where it's possible and taking a few extra steps to make sure there's no chance our new game will be seen as an opportunity to hijack their game. :-) There comes a point where there are just no words but the right words, and one simply has to tell Whizzards to "friggin' bite me."

November 30, 2008 - 6:30pm | Yes, remember that these changes do not preclude anyone from using the original material in their own campaigns. If one wants Gliding Monkey Men, or Ameoboids, or even War Worms, there is nothing to prevent them... it is not simply to be in a position to 'win' against a copyright issue, but to avoid the fight altogether. I, for one, will very likely still use much of the original campaign material, if not simply run a full-on Star Frontiers game using the new, improved & enhanced rules that we are developing. <insert witty comment here> |

 December 2, 2008 - 7:44am | Not a very difinitive answer here, eh? Nope. I think the votes are tailored to how players define the terms. Your definition of "charm" might not be the same as mine. For instance; Charm and Leadership to me are too close to be different. But Personality and Leadership are just far enough a part to make sense. I can have a lousy personality (gruff) but make a great leader. |
December 2, 2008 - 8:22am | Exactly, which is the reason for the poll. Actually, the one in the lead right now is the one with Willpower, I really like because it will give us a more obvious ability choice when it comes to psionics if we add that system later... 3.
