Epic stuff

Somebody recently asked about Epic stuff in DSII. I didn't see any answers,
but I know it has been done a good bit. Look at:

I had another bookmarked, but it seems to have gone away. It was:

I've got various posts from people over a long time. Oerjan has had some good
stuff. I could dig old stuff up if you're interested.

I am still playing Epic 40K, and have not changed over mostly because E40K
still seems to me to be simpler (I hope to try SGII, and maybe being familiar
with that will encourage me) and faster. But the capacity rules for DSII don't
fit very well with Epic miniatures. I think you have to stretch things for
some minis, like allowing miniatures other than oversized ones to buy extra
firecons--some of those really need to be able to take more than
one shot. Grav tanks with fixed guns (old falcons) don't seem to me to
necessarily need to have the normal fixed gun limitation. The point system
seems to me to work in combination with the capacity system, so you can't just
throw one out. I think you can in general make exceptions for specific models
and try to account for them with some other aspect of the design. But I've
never finished doing all the conversions, and have never played a game except
at a con.

Aaron Teske is also thinking of some conversion rules, or was a month or two
ago.
