I can, of course, go into more detail, but it's your system, and just remember those numbers are arbitrary, and I have only the faintest idea of how the combat system works. But it's customizable in the extreme, allows for a degree of realism, but still requires some wrangling(Pistols should be slightly better than assault rifles at point blank range, for example, though I don't know how to make it so; maybe what the 'Automatic' tag does, or the 'Fast' tag like I was thinking.)

When you make the game, be sure to let me know, as I'll want to playtest it before working on my medieval version.

I really don't care about realism. But yeah if I do get around to setting it up soon I'll throw you a line. Its gonna be a while before I can get all these tags and things worked out though..

I was thinking of running a classic 'Captain of an Airship' game where everything goes down up in the sky. No land at all, everything is floating/flying. Probably won't even bother explaining it so we can have more fun with making up cool flying machines and bein' pirates.

EDIT: Eh. Double post. :/

I had a thought like that. Sort of. Except it was more of a sci fi strategy and tactics game, except physics are different, there is no space, and the world is flat. Only way to get between areas is by going over the clouds because brutal storms that are physically impassable if you actually try to go through them prevent you. Thus, airships is like hyperspace. Above the clouds is also (mostly) breathable air and such, meaning it's like sci fi steam punk.

[. . .] [M]eaning it's like sci fi steam punk.

I'll admit that I sort of [really] hate steam punk but I'm curious. Isn't steam-punk a sub-category OF sci-fi? or is there enough difference that they are different categories cause I've seen that little phrase "Sci-fi steam punk" thrown around a few times.

I think steampunk is a sub-category of sci-fi.

EDIT: Also, I made an airship game, and the whole world is clouds somehow, and everyone just lives on airships with the occasional floating platform or giant metal floating city.

I wouldn't view it as a sub-category. I wouldn't call dishonored a sci-fi, but it a steam punk through and through.

[Rolepgeek]

I view sci fi as meaning future based, not alternative/ fantastic history fiction.

In is context, I meant it as 'sci fi hashyperspace, this game has clouds' and 'sci fihas planets, this game has lands' as well as some 'sci fi has aliens, this game has dwarves and orcs'.

Really not that big of a difference is there?

One of the reasons I like the umbrella term SF, for Speculative Fiction. It's more of the "What If?" variety of fiction, whether that's "What if Napoleon had a Dragon Navy?" or "What if human space explorers met a hive-dwelling race of aliens that pooped out the ingredients for complex nuclear-pulse propulsion systems that spread them from planet to planet."

I see what you did there.

I'm wanting to reboot (Un)Holy Powers. Should I make a new one or simply wade through my topics and try and necro the old one?

The new one would have a better ruleset, based on what I saw that went wrong.

I suggest one thing: all gods must be original. No outside media gods.

I would love to participate in either.  If it's a new one I'd still sort of want to create a similar character though, just because I liked the overall concept I had going.
