A cute set of rules to simulate running a great galactic cartel over a monopolistic enterprise in Era Ten. Lots of intrigue on the road to the top. Came to me when I was making a character sheet to simulate a full squad. Then it occurred to me that any agency big... [click here for more] |

 Designing Comic book Scenarios aids the Referee in creating an adventure. Inside find mission and encounter generation, Digressions tables for when groups get split involuntarily, and an assortment of Quick & Dirty tables to flesh out most situations. This is a grand worth of ideas. Complete rules as published at LA conventions in 1991. Have fun. Thanks to everyone who still loves and remembers... [click here for more] |
