Re: [GZG] [OFFICIAL] Another question: SF game styles...?

I'm going with (d).

I like the general "Tufflyverse" motif.  The major powers are nice
projections into a possible future.  However, I also like to have the
option to expand it.  For example, I use a series of grav tanks (DSM114
is one of them, I think) with Adler Kiff infantry in powered armor as an
alien force loosely amalgamated from Star Gate Jaffa and Kif in the
Chanur books.  I also like to pull in OGREs once in a while.  One of our
players has a mercenary company of Mechs.  I want all of this stuff to
"work" in my games.

That also means adding some new weapons.  I want some more generic
energy weapons, so I've written up stats for blasters and phased
particle cannons.

That said, my focus is still in the DS3 realm.	I don't think that it
would make much sense for SG:AC to have OGREs in it... Though I do have
two of Joel Frocks 15mm scale OGRE Mk IIIs...
:)
