Gary

Give them rate of fire Jet like the flamethrower on page 281 of the Basic set. Also see page 270 under RoF.

I need adventure seeds!

I have two pages reserved for them and less than half a page of them.

Things for Romulans to do.

Things for Feds (or Klingons, or Orions) to do when visiting the Romulan empire.

By Jeff Wile (Jswile) on Saturday, February 26, 2005 - 12:16 pm: Edit

posted by mistake.

sorry.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Saturday, February 26, 2005 - 12:18 pm: Edit

Email is better but I'll take what I can get.

By Jeff Wile (Jswile) on Saturday, February 26, 2005 - 12:41 pm: Edit

On the way!

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Saturday, February 26, 2005 - 02:34 pm: Edit

I need more adventure seeds, things unique to the Romulan border.

By Jeff Wile (Jswile) on Saturday, February 26, 2005 - 03:00 pm: Edit

SVC- More on the way.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Saturday, February 26, 2005 - 03:35 pm: Edit

Thanks to Jeff, the adventure seed pages are now complete.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Sunday, March 06, 2005 - 10:23 pm: Edit

GPD staff: somebody include in your report on page 141 to include "acting" as a skill for the undercover policeman.

By Dwight Lillibridge (Nostromo) on Friday, March 18, 2005 - 12:20 am: Edit

the art by Alvin Belflower impressed me realistic and apealing.

By David Kass (Dkass) on Friday, March 18, 2005 - 02:27 am: Edit

My problem with Alvin's drawing was the knife (and to a lesser extent the way she was holding it). I can't seem to get the lighting of the glint on the knife to relate to a functional knife blade shape--the lack of glint on the lower piece seems to imply the knife significantly is bent at the notch...

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Friday, March 18, 2005 - 02:12 pm: Edit

Well, when you coat the knife with copper-based blood....

By Robert Gilson (Bobcat) on Friday, March 18, 2005 - 03:56 pm: Edit

Very nice. I like that there are several artists work in the book.

By Gary Plana (Garyplana) on Saturday, March 19, 2005 - 02:44 am: Edit

You're going to like it better when you see the completed book. I've got the review copy in my lap, and while SVC told me I would be surprised by the new artists he found, I did not think I would be THIS surprised.

By michael john campbell (Michaelcampbell) on Saturday, March 19, 2005 - 04:59 am: Edit

I wonder how much Boris Vallejo would set you back?

By Loren Knight (Loren) on Saturday, March 19, 2005 - 11:49 am: Edit

About three years and thirty grand is my guess.

By Mike West (Mjwest) on Saturday, March 19, 2005 - 09:54 pm: Edit

I still think Dale needs to draw his females with slightly less inflated, er, ah, *assets*.

Sorry, but when I see them, all I can think of is Power Girl or Starfire.

By Dale McKee (Brigman) on Saturday, March 19, 2005 - 11:25 pm: Edit

Mike: Considering Power Girl and Starfire are traditionally drawn with breasts bigger than their HEADS, I don't see the correlation.

If you go watch the Original Series, I think you'll see a lot more cheesecake than *I* ever draw! :)

By michael john campbell (Michaelcampbell) on Sunday, March 20, 2005 - 08:13 am: Edit

Guru L.K.:

Yeah but the cover of GURPS ORIONS would be a sight to behold.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Sunday, March 20, 2005 - 11:32 am: Edit

RPG ORION PIRATES will be shipped in a green plastic bag with a clear window showing the title and price.

By Matthew Pulido (Talison) on Sunday, March 20, 2005 - 02:24 pm: Edit

Hands down I like Cuenca's piece the most. I'd actually prefer a more realistic look to these books but that piece captures the subject matter the most for me, and I can always live with good comic style art.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Sunday, March 20, 2005 - 02:42 pm: Edit

We used a lot from Cuenca, and we used some artists who are not listed on the sample.
