Barbarians of the Void
Hi guys,
below is a link to my BoL Scifi hack dubbed Barbarians of the Void.
Simon was kind enough to take a look and give me the go ahead to share it with the rest of the BoL community.
Please keep in mind that it hasn't been proof read and only mildly play tested.
I'd appreciate any feedback to make it better.
Thanks,
Alex

Re: Barbarians of the Void
I've only been able to give this a very cursory scan and I have to say I am very impressed. I will be giving serious consideration to using this for a SciFi game. I've been giving some thought to running a Terran Trade Authority game for a while now and this may be the toolbox I decide to use. Great job. If I was to make one minor suggestion it would be with regards to the formatting; you might want to consider formatting the text by using the "Justify" option (align text to the left and right). Otherwise - love it!
Wealth can be wonderful, but you know, success can test one's mettle as surely as the strongest adversary.

Re: Barbarians of the Void
You know, I always wondered what "Justify" did...
I'll apply the formatting to the document right away.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Re: Barbarians of the Void
I'm already getting some good feedback from here and G+.
I'll probably upload an updated version in the next few days.

That looks really nice. I'm going to give this a good read tonight.

Pulled a copy down last night. At 1st glance this looks really solid.

Re: Barbarians of the Void
I've been playing with this for a couple of weeks.
Let me start by saying I think you've done a great job.
Good choice of careers but I would like to see a break down by paragraph where you do an overview, then list what attributes are general most useful, followed by how the career contributes to adventuring and then how the career contributes to combat.
Good list of boons and flaws.
Great job on the psychic powers. I'm looking forward to using them.
Starships - bravo very nice job. On page 50 isn't it a 6 P jump from Nimbus to Shinon?
I think you've done a bang up job on starship conflict and construction. I'm a big fan of Shields as a degradeable feature on startships. I'm not fond of the shields as boon. But I can't for the life of me figure out a graceful way of putting them in with the system you have without chaning the system too much.
Damage to starships? Who decides where the damage goes?
I love how you provide the other players things to do on the starship. Nice job.
Please, please please,could you add bookmarks to this document?
