    Are there any recommendations re skills for the scenario?
    Will it be a hindrance if we don't have a broad spread between us?

    Three characters have a high chance of having the spread needed, most of the bases are already covered by Evade and Nebelwerfer in the sheets they've sent me.

    A bit more weapon experience might be handy, but not necessary.

    Not a chance I'm doing Alien if Banjo is your weapons expert :p

    I'm sure you would be a lot fairer than me Banjo, but old leg sword wounds heal slowly.

    I Iiked your post better before you edited it. Let's take it to PMs for the sake of the children forum.

    @four : a bit tied up with family life, will submit a character roll in the morning, no need to wait though as it's probably a sexually aggressive teenage girl who talks to animals in a foreign language, but this time in space. Toblerone optional....?

    Banjo and Evade, do you want D&D paused while we play this or not?

    Personally no ideally. I'm a greedy fecker. But if that means the days will clash and everything gets dragged down, that's a lose lose. You're the DM, what suits you?

    Running both at once is fine with me, I just know people can find context switching between genres difficult (seen it on Roll20 before) so I just want to check.

    I have the core mechanic above. This is just a brief guide to combat. I'll guide ye through the first one, so the below is just for reference, don't feel you need to know it perfectly.

    In combat you can either take:
    1. One Minor Action and One Significant Action
    2. Three Minor Actions

    Also any number of reactions and free actions are possible.

    Significant Actions:
    Melee Attack
    Ranged Attack
    Skill check requiring full attention (e.g. healing team member)

    Minor Actions:
    Aiming (+1 to hit roll on ranged)
    Change Stance (i.e. switch between Stand, Crouch, Prone)
    Drawing/Reloading Weapon
    Move 6 meters
    Skill checks that are fast (identifying weapons on enemies)

    Free Actions:
    DM fiat, but very quick with no skills required. Push a button, shout, etc

    Attack:
    The "to hit" roll is no different to any other skill check:
    2d6 + Skill + Mod + DM Difficulty Mod

    Skill will depend on the weapon (e.g. Gun Combat(Slug) for a shotgun).
    Mod is always your Dex mod for ranged weapons. For melee weapons it's either Str or Dex depending on the weapon.
    Difficulty is set by me.

    Target is 8 on the roll, like all skill checks.

    Damage is given in the weapons stats (3d6 for example), you also add the effect of the "to hit" roll (effect is amount you exceeded 8 by).

    Auto:
    In addition to a normal attack, the weapon can be set to burst or full auto mode.
    In Burst you add the auto score to the damage.
    In Full Auto you make a number of attacks equal to the auto score.

    Burst consumes the auto score number of rounds. Full Auto uses three times the auto score rounds.

    I won't be around for the rest of the night. If we make planetfall Kei'll head to the nearest speeder race track and get some drinks. If there's a fight she'll hang back and pew pew.

    If it's even half as good as the Witcher 3 it'll still be amazing.

    One of the best P&P RPGs by the one of the (if not the) best CRPG designers. Witcher 3 was amazing.
