risustalk : Message: Re: Working on a new setting...in SPACE!!!

As someone who once upon a time came up with a few alternative systems (see

way to play).

I understand the desire to tinker and play with rules. It a lot of fun to play with the rules to encourage the type of playing you want to do. But after much...
