A critical failure (according to FF) is an action value -5 or worse. > Whats the context, Dave?

I really like the background and the idea. I was having problems coming up with plots but after a little brainstorming, I wrote up a one shot to test out the system, and an Introductory story that has two paths the characters can take, one honorable and one not depending on how they want to play it. A little background on me. I've been gaming for 22 years. I had my starts with AD&D, and that lead into Rolemaster, Shadowrun, Legends of the Five Rings, and Werewolf, amongst MANY others that I've played once or twice. I've moderated AD&D, Shadowrun and Rolemaster and have recently written a large campaign for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying, but Blue Planet is the game I want to run. I also play strategic Wargames, specifically Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Fantasy Battle and Mordheim. I've been painting figures for almost as long as I have been gaming, but didn't get into the wargames until college. Most recently I've been working on terrain for a WH40K tournament I help run. Apart from that I brew beer, cook, and do some woodworking.

He thinks that Esdevium are out of stock on a lot of lines, particularly the Player's handbook. Now I know someone said that a mail order company had it in stock, but I deleted the mail.
