John, are you getting married? By all means, man, take the summer off. We can live for a time without a GM, short time. I think that both Dan and John should take some time off.

Hi all, sorry to post another one of these hiatus things. For about two weeks I've been visiting the hospice where my grandmother was dying of cancer.

(...) The RV rules are for the 2000 edition, and the (latest) rulebook is 2001. There were a bunch of changes between the two years, so I'm not surprised if you're hitting inconsistencies.

(...) I'd say "sorta". A "robot brain" is really a detrimental aspect of a trooper rather than of an actual vehicle, hence your vehicle with the simple "robot brain" addition would still have no Skill, thus being still sorta inanimate. So I'd score (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)
