Nice to see a Yahoo Group on VBAM. Certainly one of the better ways to discuss this fine game. One question. The polls seem to indicate VBAM is available on ...
Hi Keith, I thought I would try out the Yahoo group option since I have been getting several off line requests for a non-playtesting group (and one Tyrel...
I will have to ask Tyrel to be certain, but I think we agreed on $15. -Jay ... From: Chris Hayes werewolfstories@... Date: Wed, 04 Aug 2004 22:23:44...
Hello everyone and welcome to the public VBAM list, In addition to the playtesting list hosting on Tyrel's Planetside server, I thought this might be an...
Hey Jay, I posted an update to my system generator program. There were a couple of non-critical fixes that had to deal with the output to files (one had a the...
Hello Steve, I just removed the old one. You are probably right that the medium and detailed complexity levels are somewhat useless, or at best our of context ...

It seems to assign special values to everything, such as many, many planets I have generated have rare or special metals. If they are so rare and precious, so...
The special traits table is set up that way that most systems have something special (2+ on a modified 2d6 roll). It is in fact possible to generate systems...
It would be nice if the generator allowed you to vary the probability of a special trait existing in a system. I'd also like to see a way to input your own...
The probability of specials is set by the Rules and as Rainer mentioned in the basic rules (called the low detail system in the program) most systems will have...
Yep. Tyrel made everything official with RPGNow yesterday. We had such a demand for the PDF that it just made sense. How is everyone enjoying the game so far?...
Hello VBAMers, As you probably noticed, the PDF version is for sale on RPGNow.com thanks to Tyrel. He has also been tirelessly working to layout two source ...
Jay, I would love to give the VBAM Companion a good going over. You recall the difficulty my family is experiencing right now, so no playtest is possible....
... The review group will certainly get a copy of the book when it is closer to being completed. "Nearing completion" isn't exactly a good description of the...
Hello, We are certainly going to need the help in the near future. With so many of the team (for those who don't know, Tyrel, Steve and myself) tied up with...
Will do. Perhaps we could see a list of the rules you've got so far so we can see what's missing. Don't really need details at this point, just rules headers...
One thing I know I'd like to see is the addition of more Tech Items to the system. Right now the only things that come on line when your Tech Advances are new...
Yea, that's right. You are the guy who got Steve and Tyrel off on their tangent :) . It wasn't too bad, I think the actually "terraforming" rule itself needed ...
Keith, We had put some serious discussion into this, and I think the main idea was to create a basic tech tree rule system. Then we could get specific in the...
I hope you guys can help me with this. On page 18, it says: "To calculate the required investment, take 50% (round up) of the total domestic product (found at...

One thing that could be interesting as an optional rule is that the player has NOT absolute control over its empire depending on the form of government. There...
Right. The total is not cumulative. So if you are earning 100 points from your system income (not commerce or other) on turn 12, then the required investment...
