Subject: Starting a new Campaign
> I'm new to the list and have not yet read the FAQ so if I'm asking any
stupid questions that are asked all the time and answered in the FAQ please
set your flamers on private.
"flamers on private"... thats a new one...
> I'm starting a new campaign while I will write mostly my own stuff but I
also want to reuse some of the old commercial adventures. I would like to
mix my plot line in with the FASA one. I have some questions.
Hey, good questions are always good things. Stupid questions can be too
for that matter... ;-)
> I think I will run the game under third edition rules only. I guess I will
use the third edition SOTA also. Though I think I'll start my time line at
2050. Any comments?
None at this point in time. However, if you do so, I would suggest that you
consider what 'warez' are available to the characters. Many players and
their GM's are incredible sticklers when it comes to this detail. And, as
you "move through the timeline" you will find that by beginning with
gear/warez of the "2061" game, you will discover a staleness to the game as
it develops.
> Has anyone already converted the stats for the old adventures to third
edition? I have almost all of them.
I have converted some, but have not posted them because of copyright
infringements and related problems with FASA Corporation. In fact, I was
working on doing this as a "submission" to FASA Corporation, but their
current schedule in-the-works does not have a lot of room to do this.
> What are your opinions on the FASA adventures?
They were good for the time(s) they were released, and some (Universal
Brotherhood) were generations in potential ahead of the others. Numerous
loopholes exist in several of them however, but a capable GM and
understandable player-base can more than make up for those short-sighted
places.
