A friend is GM:ing a 2300AD RPG campaign and intends to use Aliens/Phoenix Command as the combat system :) 2300AD is the sci-fi version of Twilight 2000. The...
According to Eero Juhola, on 20-7-08 21:05 the word on the street was... ... Does 2300AD use the T2K 2nd edition rules? Because then you could reverse-engineer...
... Interesting. I believe it uses TW2000 1st edition rules, but will check. I don't have the FFS book, but I do have Guns Guns Guns and am thinking that since...

... i played a little twilight 2300 AD and the rule set was entirely goofy. i don't think you'll find the actual rule much help though the flavour text might...
Ah, my two favourite games - Aliens and T2K! I believe that 2300AD uses the GDW house rules which is essentially the same for Traveller:TNE, Cadilacs &...
According to Andrew, on 21-7-08 04:04 the word on the street was... ... These don't match with the FF&S rules very well, is my experience. -- Gurth@... -...
... As I recall from hazy memory, most "civilian" or obsolete military weapons were indeed refined but otherwise straightforward conventional firearms....
... DC may not be that scary unless the slug hits a bone or something hard in your kit. real high vel things tend to carry most of their energy out with them...
Here is a design I did for my friend's 2300AD campaign. In the Australian Land Warfare Conference of 2004 SAAB presented a futuristic SMG/PDW concept based on ...
... I wouldn't be so sure. PCCS tends to model DC as proportional to muzzle energy vs. range, but there's way more to it. The wound ballistics of the round...

Recently there were talks of converting games in other systems to PCCS. 'Guns, guns, guns' and '2300AD' were mentioned. I'm curious, how would you guys compare...
Oh man, you just hit on an absolute favorite topic of mine... The Morrow Project was one of the first games that I adapted to use PCCS with - which wasn't...
