Well, Fudge isn't that hard to learn, especially player-side.  And I own a lot of the d20 system stuff, though I dislike 3.5 due to some of the stuff they did (since when is a horse 10 feet wide, for example).

To run Fudge in d20, I'd reccomend modifying the rules from Dragonstar to fit FreeSpace, which wouldn't be too hard.  Possibly use the Wealth system from d20 Modern, as it would allow us to do things without having to assign a cost to everything.

The biggest problem with Fudge is that you have to write virtually everything from scratch, with very little to work from, plus, I'm trying to write things into an acceptable form as I go.  I do have a project outline, though.  It's called the original files :).

If anyone has any ideas on a better 'benchmark' fighter in terms of maneuverability, shields, armor, and speed, please nominate them.  By category, please, as I'm interested in setting down a benchmark for Fudge ratings.

This is actually important, and I need answers.  Also, remember, this is for averages, and based on how you feel about the craft, so don't nominate the Ulysses for 'average maneuverability,' for example.

Welcome to the first installment of the GTA Sourcebook, as well as version 0.2 of the core book.

Here are the two files:
FudgeSpace GTA Sourcebook

FudgeSpace Core Rules 0.2

Any commentary?

EDIT: Yee gods, that formatting in the GTA Sourcebook is awful.  Folks, I gurantee you that the files I work from are not that bad, the conversion from Word to HTML mauls the formatting, unfortunately.

Again, if anyone knows a free webhost that'll let me upload .rtf files for remote access without a problem, I'd be quite appreciative.  GeoCities, while quite free, does not permit access to such files from off-site.

That was a single player stand-alone project. Nothing like this :p

...because I can :drevil:

 
Okay, here's version 0.3.  Astute readers will notice that absolutely nothing has been done to chapter 1 since Friday.  There's a reason for this.  A very good, top secret reason.

Ah, heck with it.  I copied and pasted the entirity of Chapter 3 from source material and simply fixed the formatting.  :D

I love Fudge's license, since what I did is perfectly legal, as long as I credit the original author for their work.

I'm moving slowly towards the point where I'm going to need some playtesters.

Any volunteers and/or victims?  Also, please note how you'd prefer to do this.  ICQ (someone'll have to tell me where), play-by-post right here on the HLP boards, AIM, etc.
