Very cool! Great ideas and implementation, even better feeling. I will definitely use it if I get a party ready for space ever again - for style reasons and for dm reasons you explained and kept within your rules. That's what I hope we'll get from EONS again - quality and quantity.

Did they redo the pre-made spells in OLD? And added (re-added?) the missing table for infuse/hex magic? Are the instructions for "Pushing the XY track" at several mutations in NOW gone?

So... that's quite a blast for 5E and LevelUP, but what about your other games? Like WOIN?

Item effects do whatever they do :-)

Hi, in my group I'd allow it. Using a Kusari-Gama on range is a pure action-Media trope and in no way realistic (at least if it's used to throw the kama). If it's really been used - and I'm not sure about that - the thrown part should be that heavy weight on the opposite end. Using a kama to...

Hi, Regarding your second question - the answer is hidden within the environments section in the rulebooks. If anyone has 5 or more SOAK that's damage-specific, he gets protection from environmental effects tied to that damage type (i.e. heat -> desert). In my opinion that's why there are...

As the xenid pic is the same as one used for a xenomorph in WOIN, everyone old enough looking the movies will be able know how "xenid" will feel as an enemy :-)

I did a bunch of careers for OLD so far, but I used exploits from OLD/NOW/NEW and eons publications along with own ideas; I don't know if I may publish it or if I should drop texts of used exploits in a (NAME, OLD p.5x) style...

Hi there; I´ll try to answer as rule-wise as possible, but in my opinion WOIN is full of little open questions without real answers; I love it nontheless. If you don´t get 5 SOAK (acid), it won´t help within acidic environments. Arcane shield is, im my opinion, magical SOAK without specific...

Yeah, if you don´t mind melee weapons - and why should one in NEW but in very specific circumstances - Improviser is pretty useless. I homebrewed the difficulty to a purchase value /10 and restricted item life to one hour. That way character´s are able to improvise a planetary communicator, tent...

I don´t use the creature creation rules as a fixed rules set; if your group is good at combat, use the ranged attack/damage values (which should be a little bit stronger); if not, subtract 1d6-2d6 from those values. I DM'd both types of partys in WOIN, my current OLD group doesn´t bother about...

Yeah, you´re right; the chart on p.298 is wrong, your take from p.63 is far more reasonable.

If outside of sure terrain my mage always casts a revenge burst spell on herself; If her HP drop below 50% (first spell) and 0% (2nd spell) two big fire aoe burst from her setting everything into burn 2 (doesn't hit comrades). One time there were civilists and other npc's involved too... bright...

Sensor range applies for every sensor-driven action - it's like perception but with a numerical limit. Also you can exceed sensor range if you pay dice like at ranged attacks.

I'd say first you need a statblock for the steed. That's a Task for your gm or your Task if he agrees. The creature types will show which creature secret you need. Alternatively use animate earth. Seems ok for me. In my campaign one player also plays an fire mage and starts to face similar...
