Podcast reviews are coming to Space Master

[Micael]

Hiya to all Space Master fans,
podcasts reviews are coming also to you- but only a few concentrating on material you can use with other campaigns like Shadow World or together with ERA.
The second (science) part of Time Riders by Earl Wajenberg /ICE from 1992, a crossover product about Time Travelling Campaigns for all genres is reviewed as a starting point. The first fantasy part was posted last week in the Rolemaster channel. Very interesting is the complete summarized timeline for all settings of ICE during that time and a very detailed one about the real earth from the cosmic beginning till 1992. Means from Tolkiens Middleearth (far in the past on earth), over Mythic Greece and Vikings, further Pirate and Outlaw, then Cyberspace and Spacemaster.

During a Spacebattle using SM: Privateers there were certain flaws found, that make combat predictable and boring if you max. out your equipment and Space ships- one solution would be using Star Strike and Armored Assault (the last one has attack tables for weapons that are missing in star strike) rules to make it more interesting again. These solutions are discussed in the following podcast:
