Hello all, I'm new to CORPS system. A little late to be sure. My question is do people really enjoy the CORPS system. Is there an easy hook that I can use to...
... Greetings. This list has been relatiely quiet lately but there are still some hangers-on here. ... In my experience, the hook has often been the campaign ...

Here are some numbers that might be of interest for those who might be considering an optimized shotgun design. I think that smartweapon technology (mentioned...
I loaded up my Excel Spreadsheet file that I made for the 3G3. It is labeled "BTRC GGG design calculations". While it has most of the information from the 3G3...
I love using skill with different attributes. Since attributes are incoporated in skills, by paying less for the given skills. I am contemplating to the...
... The only trick would be setting the aptitude correct. I think that (level/2)(round down) + 1 would be about right: Level Aptitude -4 -1 -3 -1 -2 0 -1 0 +0...
Thanks for the answer. I was thinking to remove the aptitude and adding / subtracting the attribute from the roll. Reason: as long I have aptitude the skill is...
Anybody know how to reach him? Years ago I bought the 3G3 spreadsheet from him. During a space crunch a few years ago, I moved the spreadsheet onto a disk...
I fooled around a bit and I came to the following setup (if my rumblings do not belong to the list let me know). The idea is to plug this into Blue Planet and...
I am building a skill tree for my scifi campaign. One remark of mine is that the characters can arrive at the same Secondary / Tertiary skills, yet have...

... I guess it depends to what extent you will emphasize skills or attributes. If you add the attribute directly to skill, then you encourage players to have...
... 1) I think that their should be some benefit to natural aptitude. It does not have to be huge, but it should give you an edge in terms of training time or...
Thanks you for the answers, I really appreciate them. As it can be seen I try to mix and match CORPS (resolution system, skill system) with Synergy (combat...
I like to emphasise skill much more than attributes. I know the "GURPS effect", especially with the 1/2 point skills gave strange results. My only reason to...
Two questions: 1. The raise a skill from 2 to 3, does it cost 9 points (3x3) or the difference between level 3 and 2 (3x3 - 2x2) 5 points? 2. The age advantage...

I thought monopoles had been disproven decades ago. Interesting to see that they are making a (theoretical) comeback. We can start putting them back into our...
I'm currently putting together something akin to Project Valkyrie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Valkyrie) with more advanced technology. My design is a...
Wow, that's pretty far out there. Frankly, I have no really good ideas. You could design it as a fusion rocket and just ignore the fuel consumption, or use the...
It can be done, though you might want to play with the assumptions to force it to work. The scoop portion would use the "Refinery" rules (I think it was in...
Here are some advice on doing the numbers from VDS. There is 1 to 2 hydrogen atoms per cubic centimeter. This results in a little over 1.66 x 10^-21 kg/m^3. So...
I do not know if if anyone has tried to make a spreadsheet on VDS or other systems for optimizing designs. Here are some thoughts from the power plant...
