Also, try downloading Open Office--it might be able to open it. It's also free. :)

Qpw extensions...it might be Quattro Pro. I think there might be a filter available for Open Office somewhere. ...

87 years old is a good run, I'd say.

I'm glad he left such a large number of great novels behind.

In other news, I think I'm going to have to reread all of the SSR books. It's been a while. ...

All time "favorite" is from the 1st season of Next Generation. "Justice", where the crew decides to go on shore-leave on a newly discovered planet full of late-night Cinemax rejects and Wesley gets...

I'd give Vernor Vinge's Fire Upon The Deep a shot. If you like that, follow it up with Deepness In The Sky, which is a prequel (by about, oh, 30,000 years) but more meaningful if you've read Fire. ...

One of my friends had a d20 that came up 20 often enough that for all intents and purposes it could be considered loaded. Naturally, it was fairly popular. People would ask to borrow it a lot. ...

Wow. It got "Gary Seven". Guess I need to go find something more obscure...

The Witcher one almost made me have an accident. Basically summarized everything that annoys me about CRPG's these days...

I hardly ever look at boxes to see required processor speeds--the bottlenecks are almost always video card and ram-related.

A lot of games out on the market now take advantage of dual core. 3 or...

Saw this on another board and immediately thought about this one. :D

LOL. I'm guessing Kirk would be a-okay in Babylon 5. The potential for wooden acting and asskickery would be far too much.

Fred's idea reminded me of a campaign idea I had a ways back for a...

LOL

"What? If you guys didn't want to have a Trek game based on the Cyborg Commando rule set, you should have said something to begin with."

This strikes me as one of those projects that somebody should just jump in and get something down on paper.

Designing stuff by committee is pretty much a doomed effort, at least initially. ...

Mmm. 6 dollar canned cheeseburger. Sign me the heck up.


:)

Could be worse. At least you have warning. :)

Sounds pretty cool. I really like Fate, particularly how the transparent the skills are--you can pretty much look at a character sheet and instantly tell what a character's about, which is a quality...

Huh. That's pretty cool.

Can't wait until it comes out on video so I can actually pause and frame-advance some of it.

Can you spoiler this? I saw the movie but missed that bit of it.

I loved this film to death. It's great to see the Blair Witch shaky cam done right and with a big budget. It really gives a...

I'm intrigued by the idea of doing a wound state based system, kinda like how Mutants & Masterminds does it.

Basically with M&M, an attack has a damage rating and you have to make a Toughness...

Hey, there's no option for "cautiously optimistic". :) I like Abrams, I like TOS, I like the actors they got for the various roles. This might not be bad.

Then again, I'm also of the opinion...

I would play in this campaign in a heartbeat. Reminds me of the sort of cross-series writing that started to show up in season 4 Enterprise. Great stuff.


I think there's a ton of Mirror...

Pfft. As if he'd have to. He'd just start behaving irrationally, give them a logic puzzle and laugh as they all blue-screened and shut down.

Okay, this forum's a bit quiet today. Too quiet. :)

Let's say you're going to ignore normal Star Trek continuity. What are the crazy things you've always wanted to try with your story lines...

The Firstinator?

You know, for 80,000 clams, I hope it really works. And you can specify a delivery address other than your own home. :D

My answer would be to let him do it but put in enough long term side effects that it's clear why Star Fleet doesn't encourage the practice.

Sure, works great, but the battery life is awful and you...
