Re: 2300ad stuff

Aye, I'm rather interested in 2300AD to GURPS conversion, I guess.  In fact,
I'm so interested that I already have a semi-complete conversion which I made
myself.  This includes conversions of all weapons listed in all the 2300ad
books I have (converted by partially redesigning them using BTRC's Guns, Guns,
Guns!), armor conversions, alien-race writeups, and more.  I'm also working
on an alternative character generation system for GURPS/2300AD which is
slightly inspired by good ol' Traveller (mostly based around first building
an 18-year-old on a combination of point expenditure and dice rolls, and then
optionally taking that 18-year-old through any of a variety of careers --
academic, military, ordinary civilian -- to gather experience); this subsystem
is now about two-thirds finished.

I intend to use this to run a Big Campaign starting some time during this
schoolyear (probably just after Christmas, since there's some stuff left to
be done as well as some external circumstances) -- a campaign with two separate
player groups (one being composed of military personnell fighting you-know-what
you-know-where; the other being a bunch of civilians who will probably end up
as freelance troubleshooters).  I've already got a number of interested
players.

Maybe we should all post our conversion ideas and compare notes?  I have lately
been thinking a bit over whether to use GURPS Vehicles in this campaign...
