  • Heavy Gear 3E D20 Vehicle Errata
    Heavy Gear 3e D20 Vehicle Errata Sean Silva-Miramon ([email protected]) October 26, 2005 1 Introduction This errata applies to the d20 portions of the mechanical catalogue from Heavy Gear 3e Rulebook DP8-925C, Earth Companion DP9-926C (excepting Chapter 8 Spaceships), Vehicle Companion DP9-927C. This errata also applies to the Heavy Gear sections of the d20 Mecha Compendium DP9-910 and d20 Mecha Com- pendium Deluxe DP9-911. Some designs included here were not present in those books (primarily Colony variants). This errata is for the Heavy Gear 3e RPG only. This errata does not apply to, and is not compatible with, the Silhouette Core Heavy Gear Miniature Rules. 1.1 Weapon Damage Weapon damage was consolidated from the wide range of dice types used throughout the 3rd Edition Heavy Gear books to just the d10 and d12. This change was made for sound mechanical reasons and to match the weapons in Jovian Chronicles 2nd Edition. 1.2 Weapon Design To simulate the grappling hooks employed on several gears and frames a new weapon special attack was developed. Winch Special Attack Winch attacks are resolved per the grappling rules with the following modifications. The winch is consid- ered to have a Strength score equal to the Giant Robots/Mecha Suits normal Strength score plus twice the winches modifier. If a vehicle has the winch special attack, use the following Strength scores based on the size of the vehicle: Large 18, Huge 26, Gargantuan 34 and Colossal 42). The attacker can drag the target towards him at the rate one range increment a round if the target weighs less than the winches Heavy Load, two range increments a round if the target weighs less than the winches Medium Load and three range increments a round if the target weighs less than the winches Light Load.

Although I had nothing to do with the final version Pulpof the product Gaming I did do a huge Resources amount of research on the genre while working on the original draft -- my original list of resources is 12 typewritten pages long). Whether you’re looking for adventure seeds, information to use in expanding your campaign or simply inspiration while creating your next intrepid hero, the information that follows will prove both useful and insightful. In compiling this resource, I have deviated from the standard definition of “Classic Pulp”, instead adopting a much broader interpretation in which camp and over-the-top actions are the defining factors. Ultimately, the deciding factor as to whether to include a reference or not was the answer to the following question: “Does this reference contain information that could easily be used in a pulp adventure or campaign?” If the answer was yes, it was included; otherwise, it got the boot!

  • Encounters at the Imaginal Crossroads: an Exploration of the Experiences of Women in Role-Playing Games
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Christopher J. Dyszelski Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________________________________ Roger M. Knudson, Ph.D., Director ________________________________________________________ Karen Maitland Schilling, Ph.D., Reader _________________________________________________________ Ann Fuehrer, Ph.D., Reader _________________________________________________________ C. Lee Harrington, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT ENCOUNTERS AT THE IMAGINAL CROSSROADS: AN EXPLORATION OF THE EXPERIENCES OF WOMEN IN ROLE-PLAYING GAMES By Christopher J. Dyszelski This study was a critical, archetypal, feminist ethnography and psychological inquiry into the experiences of women in tabletop role-playing gaming and its culture. Informed by performance ethnographic practice and the spirit of these games, it is written as an adventurous journey into and encounter with these experiences based on participant observation, interviews with gaming professionals, an online questionnaire of 428 gamers, and series of interviews with female gamers. Ethnographically, this study documents the history and experiences of women in the culture of gaming. It presents profiles of a diversity of female gamers and explores historically the ways that women have established themselves as members of this culture and shaped this traditionally male dominated hobby. It also examines a multiplicity of opinions about and experiences of sexism, prejudice, and discrimination of women in gaming. While demonstrating the progress in the games and their culture to become more inclusive and welcoming to women, it shows there is still far to go. It also demonstrates how despite the possibility and creative potential for gaming and its culture to imagine completely new social worlds, the same power dynamics and social structures are recreated in the games, groups, and culture.
