Star Wars D6 - For history most of the Star Wars canon pre episode 1 was created by WEG for this game. The D6 system is really suited for the Star Wars spirit, and was at the time one of the most approachable space opera RPG. I have run Star Wars FFG, which hold it well, and I think I still prefer the D6 system.

FATE, because this system really is flexible. I have homebrewed a couple of campaigns in two different genres.

When I was younger I ran RuneQuest because I found it better than AD&D. The Basic Role Playing system is a great system, RQ level of detail is quite the opposite of Call of Cthulhu. The combat is very crunchy and very lethal: it didn’t abstract the defense with an Armor Class (THAC0 at the time), but rather you’d dodge / parry, the damage could be absorbed by the armor per location (you rolled it) and a crit would just ignore the armor. The initiative was based on the weapon (with a spear you hit before than with a dagger). Also what I like in the BRP (works in CoC) is the experience system. Use a skill, you learn from it.

Le problème c’est qu’ils (les Gouvernements) veulent que le transport collectif soit une entreprise profitable. Mais si on parlait des routes? C’est financé par nos taxes, et le profit ne fait pas partie de l’équation. Et ca coûte encore plus cher à la collectivité.

imagine taxer un véhicule a la auteur de sa taille et de son prix. Tous les “camion le plus vendu au pays” qui devraient payer $5000 par année. Plus c’est gros plus ca use les route, ca pollue (ca a un cout énorme) et plus c’est dangereux… Et puis si tu a une Lambo, tu peux bien payer.

Ah yeah that really suck.

Municipal network? Look at Toronto. CIty council wanted to create a network to service area where the cartel wouldn’t service. The whole thing was vetoed by Rogers Director (member of the board) Mayor John Tory.

I concur. It’s terrible. Super terrible. And with the whole TPIA stone walling it’s even worse.

the only turnmoil is the TPIA. When the wholesale rate (regulated by the CRTC) is higher than the retail rate…

But the corruption of our Government[1] is right in our face.

[1] it’s corruption, not incompetent. Also it is pan-partisan. Whichever would be at the helm would be paid for by the telecartel.

The word you are looking for is “telecartel”.
