I must admit though, in designing my ideas my not have been interpreted as I intended, or perhaps too much emphasis has been made. I’d like to see the Ares be more in line with the Artemis, just with more homings for the direct damage and perhaps a heavier, narrow central beam for high damage firing passes.

Whereas the Apollo is tailored to…[Read more]

The line of light cruisers were always meant to be slight alterations to the class in order to emphasis styles of play. The Artemis was the core model on which the light cruisers were based. The Apollo emphasised beams slightly and the valkyrie longer ranges. Since their firat design, I am not sure how much the emphasis has changed. Fundamentally…[Read more]

Keep up the great work guys! You should post this on the Artemis forums too. It’ll help drum up more interest in the community and also add to the great Artemis Universe stuff out there.

From a command point of view, there are a couple of things that can make things particularly tricky.

In the past, I have found that if I were to set a course that deliberately took us past and enemy fleet, it would end up ‘bending’ around to engage the enemies head on. The helms officer would have assumed it was an oversight on my part and the…[Read more]

In the last mission when we deployed it, we just had to set it uo and leave it. If you check the Player’s toolbox document there is a description of the station.

SCENE 3

*UPDATED* MISSION INTEL

END OF SCENE 2

@matsiyan

Just for you, I have combined and renamed documents to hopefully make everything easier to find. Here is a list of them all:

TSN Forum RP Rules (This now includes reference to the new “Advanced rules” for things like combat).

TSN Forum RP Character Design (This now includes reference to the Planetside expansion).

TSN Forum RP…[Read more]

Ok, our current scene seems to be coming to an end. Is everyone happy if we wrap it up and move on to the Monitoring Station? We could do a couple more post of talk if you want and then finish up and move on. The monitoring station is one of our key objectives for the mission. We need to get there and repair the station, before moving on to…[Read more]

I have been thinking over the posts and what to put for Turnez, and not quite sure. I don’t think I can quite match the technical jargon, though I could come up with something to do with collecting data for analysis…. hmm now I think about it…

What I intend to do when I have some extended time off is create a complete version of all the rules together. At the moment though, everything is developing as we go, so in a way it is still in the ‘draft’ phase. Since the first ideas coming together, we’ve come a long way with the rules and additional content.

When I do bring things together…[Read more]

I have started drafting out ideas for how to handle combat in the forum RP. I’ve used many of the ideas from ylthe Mythic ruleset to help, and need to take another look to see if there are any key points that I missed or could add. I have also added a couple of scaling boxes to compare ‘universal’ characteristics. For example, the reaction speed…[Read more]

I will add the names… don’t worry.

SCENE 2
*UPDATED* MISSION INTEL

Ok, I figured that would be a good place to end the scene and move on to scene 2. I’ve updated the intel document with the next scene, skipping us ahead to the location of the radiation.

Once we’ve finished there, the next logical scene is the monitoring station, depending on what we discover.

Indeed. We need to get our kit organised, the shuttle leave and then start our trek.

Perhaps, as we approach the end of this scene, we should ask a simple question to see if it is a straightforward trek or if something occurs (from an environmental hazard like difficult terrain to another encounter with an alien creature). Or we could assume the…[Read more]

@matsiyan just seen your post. Good idea for adapting it.

I think the best bet with posts is to focus on the environment around us and assist other characters where needed. For example, if Nhaima assessed her own condition and it comes up with a serious burn, we can use that to then move to help stablise her with a med-kit. Something I could do is add a chapter to the rule set to explain how to handle…[Read more]

Ok, I’ve cleaned up the posts so you guys can post again. All part and parcel of the learning process I think. Of course,you can use nhaima’s method above too.

One point of interest is the mix of past and present tense used in our posts. It never really occurred to me that I was automatically writing in present tense.
