_______________________________________________ Gzg-l mailing list Gzg-l@vermouth.csua.berkeley.edu http://vermouth.csua.berkeley.edu:1337/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lEvy n, FMA is the generic system (dice colours/sizes, opposed rolls, etc) used in SG2 and DS2. It isn't, by itself, a game. FMA Skirmish is only (officially) one very old draft. Never seemed to make much sense to me to convert anything when (theoretically) a new draft and maybe one day a release will eventually appear. For SG2, I did some conversion work but never published it (on my infinite list of things to do) that focused on getting the balance of power reflected in Traveller individual weapons and armour somewhat right. Allan Goodall did a conversion for SG2 that focused on making things with similar names match - A GZG plasma gun was a PGMP/FGMP. The balance is GZG, but it can easily be used for Traveller if you expect the games to play out a bit differently. I am unaware of any DS2 conversion, but doing up some of the standard designs in DS terms (Trepida, Astrin, etc) should be pretty straightforward. Allan might post the link - I don't have it handy.

If I can find it would you like me to send it you? If so post your emails, as I'll have to send the excel files seperately.
