Last night I’ve been through the AoG book “Wars of the Ancients”. That’s a great piece of book! Now I really like those ancients. They are very different and yet they’re all the same. Nice and complex, just the way I like it. Here are some thoughts about those freaks. The suggestions I give here aren’t that well worked out. I don’t know if the proposed weapons and stuff are possible or already in the Mod. The Shadows and the Vorlons aren’t here, because they’re pretty much done.

Ehh… a question. What are the options for the “Vehicle types” and “Can target” rules for weapons?
