November 22, 2007 - 1:18am | Just an FYI --- I stumbled upon this recently. Lockheed had an experimental craft back in the early1960s that would take off like a helicopter and the rotors would disengage in order for a turbine and wings to take over like an airplane. About 20 years before the birth of Star Frontiers, we had actual jetcopters that really worked. A total of two were made for the US Air Force, the first sported a three-blade rotor that proved instable during turbine mode at higher speeds when tested in late 1962, so the second was outfitted with a four blade rotor. |

If the RB is moved from the cargo hold and mounted you must sacrafice 1 ADF or 1 MR (see below) 33. Rocket Battery: Part of a armament shipment for Malco, this heavy weapon was loaded before Garlus fled the Dramune System. The crate includes 6 salvos of ammo. |
November 18, 2007 - 3:05pm | Hiya. I posted this on the Paizo boards, but haven't really gotten much out of it. Is anyone here familiar with the "Age of Worms" 'adventure path' that Paizo (www.paizo.com) put out in Dungeon magazine? Its for 3rd edition D&D, but I thought "Worms...Sathar...why not?". I haven't read more than the first 3 adventures (the only 3 PDF's of them I own currently; I'll pick up the rest if I get this thing going). ^_^ "...It's all in the reflexes..." Paul L. Ming |

If you have not seen these you are missing out. Worst thing... everyone seems to know a gamer or two that resemble the characters here. <insert witty comment here> |

He lights a slim perfumed cigar with his long hairy fingers. “Six months off Histran, some moonbase mining op. Nice and quiet. Standard rotation. Walk around and look at walls, and come home with 5000 creds each after the shift.” |
