I see that the 93 Games forum for T2013 is down. What does everyone think of inviting the crowd over here After all, it is 3rd edition, and anyone that interested in keeping our game going should have a place at the table.

Maybe in another section of the forum - like how the Morrow Project and 2300AD stuff is kept separate. -
I think that you'll find that lots of them are already here.Comment

It might share the same name and genre, but those are the only two connections I make with 2013.Originally posted by kota1342000 View Post
It's just an opinion mind you, which is all it really comes down to. Personally I don't care if they come here or not.Comment

My two cents worth Invite them all here. Worse thing that really happens IMHO is that we just disagree on certain points. Thing is, we need constant exchange of ideas to keep this board alive IMO, we can't afford to be too picky. But again, that's just my loose change."The use of force is always an answer to problems. Whether or not it's a satisfactory answer depends on a number of things, not least the personality of the person making the determination. Force isn't an attractive answer, though. I would not be true to myself or to the people I served with in 1970 if I did not make that realization clear."

Opinions are always welcome, no matter what they are.
But you do have a point Fus. 3rd edition is drastically different, and i think its going to take a while to grasp some of the background...or get around to changing it like we do with the first three versions.
Right now Im working through learning the reflex system well enough to modify it for faster play, and using T2k's background.
It struck me on the way home that many games definitely have a certain kind of following. D&D seems to be where most people start out, but the Cold Warriors, Vets and Military Buffs seem to gravitate towards Twilight. One of the things that impressed me was it seemed that 2013 had an angle of encouraging people who dont know much about the military to come and play. At first the lesser emphasis on the armed forces kind of made me wince...but the more I thought about it the better the idea seems to me. Its helping to keep the game alive.

I have made a number of open and specific invitations to members of the T2013 forum to join us here and those invitations still stand. I guess if the T2013 forum is no longer functioning it will be a bit hard to re-post an invitation there. I enthusiastically welcome any T2013 forum members who choose to join this forum. We have successfully integrated T2013 discussions in this forum for a long time now. I'm all for inclusiveness

And certainly no need that I can see to split off into a seperate section such as has been done with Morrow Project. Doesn't take much to specify in a post that your comment/question relates to 2013 or an alternate timeline instead of 2000.If it moves, shoot it, if not push it, if it still doesn't move, use explosives.
Nothing happens in isolation - it's called "the butterfly effect"

Outstanding. Glad you're all here!Originally posted by Eddie View Post
Right now Im working on some material that uses the reflex system with the 2.0 background.
At first I was at a bit of a loss of what to do with the 3.0 background. The losses in population are far greater, the problems greater, and lots of things that have to be done with very little time, resources or people to do it with. It reminds me of something His Grace Commander Sam Vimes said;
"Dont think of it a one big bucket of snakes, take things one at a time. What needs to be done first...............Everything. Okay...start again..."
So one of the ideas I had for a campaign was to first have the Players build (or given) some VERY high level characters. As in stars on their shoulders, and Command Staff of NORTHCOM. Then give them bits and pieces of the background and let the Players figure out what needs to be done first. Then some of the major decisions could be played out from several different angles.Comment
