SFRPG

Making some cheat sheets for Hack the Planet, after a disastrous online session which was mainly me discovering the official 'reference sheets' don't have tons of the core rules on them. They do have a random fashion generator table, though. Always more important to have that than to tell you how one PC assisting another works...

okay
1/2400 is possible, but f**k its painful and unpleasant.
maybe for battleships, but not for the sorts of ships PC's might tool around in, and certainly not for anything that'd be put on a table for a firefight

Here is what I've cobbled together in 1/2400 scale and that's without the engine section/radiators/fuel_tanks.
the ball tanks and the cargo containers are skewered on a toothpick to stay in alignment... those parts have a 2mm hole for that, and that's too big for the other parts mostly.
You can barely make out the turrets, so at least I know I could do a Battle of Jutland set, this was just too fiddly to be enjoyable.
Maybe a ship that's more monolithic, but something like this is just bleh. My patience eyes aren't good enough for this sort of work anymore.


that's an x-acto no. 11 and the d6 is 15mm on a side.

Thank you for trying, anyway. The issue probably boils down to the big ship/small ship universe dichotomy: PC-scale ships and 500,000-dton warships don't belong on the same map.

I finished a completed 1/2400 model. It is done. I'm still working on a 1/300 model, but it is taking a long time to print the parts.
14 separate pieces, but I think I've learned a trick or two that should help me do tiny ships in the future.
The radiators are cut from a paracetamol box.
a 1/2400 USS Texas BB-35 actually seems doable now.

1/2400 model



1/300 model so far
fun, but maybe no practical use... oh well.

Began replaying the Mass Effect trilogy once again, this time with an overdose of graphic mods (the ALOT/ALOV mods and others). Looks so pretty with these mods, and brings back wondrous memories!

Also, writing RPG stuff...

I have recovered from my most recent ankle surgery (2nd surgery on the same ankle in a year and 5th overall in the last 14 months...) the creative juices are starting to flow again, so I am back at it, working on Cepheus Light and Sword of Cepheus stuff as well as continuing to write fiction to possible sale.

On that note, I had a short story published in an anthology here in Texas - our book just won the "Best of Hurst Award - Author", so I have a writing award to my name to go with my Zhodani Base award from a few years ago. The awards just keep piling up...

Now back to the grindstone.

EDIT: fixed "won" instead of "one" because "I'm a Writer!"

I'm planning to run Twilight 2000 using GURPS 4e, so I'm looking over my Basic Set to see what advantages, disadvantages and skills I want to add to the GURPS Lite I've been giving to my players.

Finished a Special Supplement for Cepheus Engine.

I am working on a series that will pick one aspect of the game and expand it in areas not necessarily done before. The first one will be how to adapt accommodations for aliens.

Working through Stellagama to get them published.
