Even on the rare occasion that I am using a computer that even has Windows on it, I'm running open source software on it.

It was the homebase for the characters in the last game I ran. Aside from that, what Hellcat said, see Crispin's Han Solo trilogy for more.

I think I had the most problems with Pirates and Privateers and The Far Orbit Project, although I eventually got them at around 30 or so apiece, it was a few years ago, I can't remember exactly. I do ...

Mongoose doesn't care if a system is playable, just as long as it sells product. Unfortunately, fans of a licensed setting tend to buy up supplements for a line regardless of quality. Just think of ...

I heard somewhere that WEG open-sourced the D6 system. Is that true?

Mak Kraven, smuggler.
Most recently, Jak Antilles, merc.

Best ship name, a YT-2400 named The Idiot's Array, named after the sabaac hand that won it for the owner.

...In an Imperial Campaign, we had a cyborged assault shuttle pilot named Heironymous Bosche--pilot of the Q-36 "Assault Shuttle of Love". Survived the campaign, curiously enough (plenty of ...

However, I think it would be a little generous to give Leia even 2D in Strength. A 4'11" 89 lbs. human woman with STR 3D? Come on, that's more than a little rediculous. Maybe she would have ...

An entity* after my own heart.

*Forum usernames are so amorphous, I try to avoid making assumptions of gender or species.

OK. As regards Star Wars rpgs, I'm pretty much a grognard, it being my 2nd rpg ever, back in the early 90's. I know I have no interest in D20 rules, be it SAGA or any of the other iterations of (ret ...
