May I promote this on my Trek RPG blog as the date approaches?

Try Googling a company called Mega Minis. They make an excellent and very affordable set of 25mm metal minis of a sci fi crew, furniture and fixtures and aliens. The crew in particular is nice in that they are generic enough to be easily painted and/or modified to look like SFU and most other ...

I don't post here much, Doug, but those are just BEAUTIFUL! I'm really stunned by the amount of detail you managed to get into these.

That's it, I'm off the fence, I'm buying me some minis. They'll never look as good as yours, but they're a great reference as to what can be done. Thanks for putting ...

I just purchased both the GURPS and d20Modern versions and have started to look them over. I don't think you can go wrong with either, though I'm leaning toward the GURPS version for actual play (I see it as easier to scale down and be more cinematic).

Keep in mind that if you purchase the d20M ...

Thanks, Mike. Precise, complete and helpful, not at all harsh. As I said, I am not going to do any of those thing, no interest in doing it or time to do so! But having those boundaries spelled out for those new to PD is helpful. If PD gets a spike of interest in the wake of a certain summer film ...

Thanks for the quick and complete reply, Jean. Let me just say that you should be very proud of the work you've done and are doing. I wouldn't ask the questions if I didn't feel the game had legs.

You are very correct in that what the fans do around the kitchen table is their business. However ...

Broadening PD's Appeal

I'm posting this here because I'm not sure the discus BBS will handle the format (and longer message) well, but I hope it is seen by a wide enough audience and TPTB. I'll try to keep it short because I see how busy everyone is. As a result, it might seem terse but it's not intended to be ...

Maybe we could put in for some kind of gaming stimulus bailout check :wink:

I just (today) dodged another of the layoffs where I work... but there's an across the board 10% salary cut. :(

I need to figure out how to make last night's purchase part of my new Green Initiative. 8)

Still, glad I ...

Thanks, guys. I went ahead and purchased the d20 Modern version (along with each of the GURPS books... and, um, a FedComm Starter... stop me before I buy again), and if I get hooked then I'll probably follow-up with d20 Klingons and Romulans. 80% fluff and 20% easy-to-port crunch is good enough for ...

PD d20 vs d20 Modern Compatibility

Hello everyone. I'm about to jump into the latest generations of PD and have a question about the d20 vs the d20 Modern versions. I haven't played the game since the '93 TFG version, so I'm looking forward to it.

I get the difference between d20 and d20M approaches. My question is really about the ...
