The Podge Cast / Traveler or....

« on: December 23, 2009, 10:28:42 AM »

I'm contemplating starting a sci-fi game for my group. Something part space opera, part hard science. Something fun with startships and explosions.
I have read a few reviews of Mongoose Publishing's current edition of Traveler (sadly I have never played any version of the game). I wonder if any of you fine folks out there would recommend Traveler or make other suggestions.

What I am looking for in a game.
My group is currently playing 4e and I believe the level of crunch involved is just about right for the group. Most of them aren't into the crunch, so when it comes time to level up the ask me "What do I want?" "how do I get better?" kind of stuff. Luckily with 4e you don't really need to know how the car runs as long as you can drive it. As a DM however, I like the crunch to be in the background. I want rules for the things that happen and rules for the designing of things, worlds, starships, etc.

I have d20 Modern/Future/Cyberspace/Future-tech already. Are there any of you out there that have played both games and if so which would you prefer and why?

Thanks for your time!
Merry Xmas too

The Podge Cast / Help with Masterplan

« on: November 29, 2009, 12:10:27 PM »

I heard you guys talking about Masterplan so I downloaded it last night. I then followed the prompts to log in to my DDI account and downloaded all the appropriate files. However, after saving the current project, every time I go to open the file again the program prompts me to download all the libraries again. For some reason it is not keeping them associated with the files. Is there any way to install the libraries (since I have them all downloaded) without logging in to DDI all over again?

Any help would be appreciated.

By the way, I run a Vista machine if that makes any difference.
