See what happens when I take a few days off and miss a thread?

[badcat]

Every time.

Considering how fast this thread is growing, maybe it would be a good idea for Jason to do a new thread (part2, part3, etc.) once a week or after the thread gets to a certain size?

Maybe so.

Two other options present themselves:

1. Urging folks to take extended discussions of any particular topic to another thread.
2. Starting new threads about a specific question. That might be the better way to go, as it would make searching later much easier.

I declare myself guilty in respect of point #1.

But now, I have another question. Are 'heroic' or 'superheroic' styles of play supported in any way in the new book apart from different point totals or rolls during character creation?

[Enpeze]

And once more

-is SciFi Equipment/Weaponry mentioned in the new book and if yes which equipment/weapons?

thanks for your patience and time.

Some guidelines in the "customizing creatures" section and in the GM sections.

Not only mentioned, but described. There are all manner of energy weapons (melee and missile) and armors, sci-fi vehicles, and some equipment described. Plus a couple of sample robots and aliens.

Not a ton, but enough to give you a good start.

Great. One last question: how about armor. Did you include 2 systems? One with fixed armor (and usable for hitlocations too) and one with var. armor like SB5?

Do heavier armor have dodge penalties? (or other penalties?)

Yes, yes, and "other penalties" (athletic- and perception-type skills).
