Re: Fallout d20

D20? Why the hell won't they make a SPECIAL game? Yeah, that's the bothersome point of it all. However, I'm not sure what the status of GURPS is, which would probably lend itself to a seamless x-ition from the CRPGs to the table-top quite a bit better than going with the d20 System. Of course, the ...

Well shit, that's easily remedied. All you have to do is find out what the "desc" is for the recruit in question -- char.txt being a great place to look -- then make a copy of that portrait with the new file name changed to your new recruits desc.

Re: Playing own team? Or rather changing portaits!

I will kill Stitch and Farsight just in case the XP is shared. XP is not shared in the game. I've done that experiment and found that no matter how many people you have (or don't have) in your squad you are still awarded the same number of XP. ...[H]ow do I change portaits?

Occam's Razor would suggest that a magic man in the sky is responsible for everything. No. The principle that an entity's causes much not be multiplied beyond necessity means you use the simplest explanation, not the most simplistic . In other words, your model has to account for all of the evidenc...

The only way I was able to put the editor down was by going cold-turkey when I joined the Army. Not having access to a computer coupled with being locked away in a gulag for weeks on end did the trick. When I get back to Schweinfurt I'll have both a computer and FoT at my fingertips...don't know how...

If I was in charge I'd make it so the helmet rims and belt buckles and toothbrushes, etc. all had a bottle-opener application. Why? Soldiers' ingenuity will amaze you. I've learned so many ways to open bottle in the Army it isn't funny. Of course, the introduction of multi-tool like the Gerber and ...

I'm guessin' the Galil that ASG mentioned might be what you're thinking of, but let me reiterate: I'm not saying the Beretta comes with a bottle-opener, I'm saying that we use them as such. It's also very bad for the pistol.

I've seen some guy wear a left-arm low-ride leather holster under his denim shirt...

Personally, I only use a Beretta at work. I'm pretty sure it's Gulf War vintage, too. Something tells me that there will never be 50 year old M9 Pistols kicking around like there were M1911s. They don't hold up as well when used as bottle openers, either... (Lock the slide to the rear and I'm sure y...

JJ86 did some Wasteland inspired work a while back. He was going to do a mini-campaign based on it, but I'm pretty sure that the project was shelved. So the horizon's wide open on that one.
