alternity, advice and stories please!

[Frenth Alunril]

I have most of the core materials for alternity, I picked them up when they were on the shelves, but I was never able to get others to play the game at the time.

I'm thinking of digging up everything and giving it a go, however, before I do, I would love to hear stories, opinions, etc.

I'd love to know experiences, and especially issues you may have had. I'm thinking it looks like a pretty light system to run, not enough time for there to be a lot of power creep, but enough material to run for years.

Mass Rifles are extremely strong. Their supposed drawback is only having a 30 meter range, but realistically, few DMs are going to bother with a battle map bigger than that.
If they do, you bring out your sniper Laser rifle instead, with a 2 km range.

That's actually a great idea. The reason I like the system is just about everyone is a but of a glass canon.

anti tank weapons are useless against tanks
I was running a large battle (my first mistake) and soon realized that the pl 8 anti matter rocket launchers were highly ineffective against primitive battle tanks.
