I've never made a D&D campaign with a lot of sci-fi features, although I did run a couple Arduin ones with plenty of guns for the Techno characters. Just glorified missile weapons (but we had fun with grenages and explosions). Man, that was a long time ago now.Sham aka Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14329116400656617173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621016516937695074.post-67867414411022642142008-12-01T20:43:00.000-05:002008-12-01T20:43:00.000-05:00This was definitely an interesting module.

I think mixing and matching Sci-Fi & Fantasy is fine, but a little goes a long ways.Mr Baronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07502432352346301026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621016516937695074.post-54826663519259598412008-11-30T16:32:00.000-05:002008-11-30T16:32:00.000-05:00Very true, taichara.

I suppose what I'm hinting at is the 'wargaming roots' of D&D...but indeed it's more or less a mechanical outlook; strictly numbers and rules less the flavor.Sham aka Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14329116400656617173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621016516937695074.post-37753994128156407062008-11-29T20:52:00.000-05:002008-11-29T20:52:00.000-05:00In other words, 6d6 damage from a Plasma Cannon is...<I>In other words, 6d6 damage from a Plasma Cannon is the same as 6d6 damage from a Dragon‘s Fiery Breath. That’s a wargamer’s outlook at least.</I><BR/><BR/>I agree with your thesis, but I feel the need to dispute your definition. Just a little.<BR/><BR/>That outlook might apply to wargamers, but it's a little over-restrictive in my mind to call it a wargamer's outlook -- I think in much the same lines, and I've never wargamed.<BR/><BR/>Maybe "all-inclusive" would be better?
