What is funny is that the author's of this sourcebook are making the same mistakes as the authors of my beloved Alternity Star Drive setting did ~15 years later: Too much distant history that won't effect the settings today, to large a scale for everything, timelines to long.

I have been reading Alternity again after a decade or so since I last looked at it. It's both very old school and also has some interesting new ideas for the game system.

Last time I read it, I remember I really felt enthusiasm after reading it. That's a good reaction to a game, that you really want to play it.

Am I loosing pace a bit in my Fading Suns game? Maybe, or I'm just after a new shiny.

Getting frustrated with how long combat is taking in my Stardrive game, and a huge amount of it is stuff like having to remind players how to make an attack roll every round and reminding them which one is the d8.

@WizardOfDocs Is helping me make a info card that will explain the basic how to make a role and have a diagram of all the dice on it, hoping that helps me out

Advice welcome for dealing with highly distracted players

One of my players wants to a play a dog person in my Alternity/Stardrive game. Fits in well enough with the setting, but I would like some lore to go with it: can anyone point me towards any dog like aliens from other science fiction settings that I could borrow ideas from? Don't care what medium it is, though, obviously ttrpgs would be the easiest to steal from

I have a project idea, tying into that #StarTrekAdventures game I was asked to run.

I want to do species writeups for the #StarFrontiers and #Alternity aliens (some of you may also remember them collectively grouped together in #d20Future ) in STA. That includes the Sathar!
