I've worked out a set of RPG rules that fit very nicely into FT games--
I've got like 20+ skills and what I feel is a pretty good basis for a
beer-and-pretzels RPG utilizing SGII-type die rolls (sorta). They were
originally designed for use in my (eternally unfinished) FT campaign
rules,
and thus reflect a bias towards my own game universe, but it's pretty
easy
to adapt to any universe (or time, really). They DO decidedly slant
combat
in favor of the players, which is what they were supposed to do in the
first place (The Enterprise with Captain Kirk in command should be able
to
beat the heck out of a similarly equiped ship with Joe Nobody at the
helm,
after all). It's a little too long to send to the list as an
attachment,
but if anyone's interested, I'd be glad to post them somewhere...
Take care,
Tre
