Epic: Support Cepheus Engine FTL #5

Closed xdy closed 4 years ago

xdy commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The simplest CE version seems like a good start. Specifically https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/263755/Cepheus-Faster-Than-Light

Describe the solution you'd like Support for playing using the above rules.

Describe alternatives you've considered Don't play using these rules.

Additional context Think ahead to support CE Light, CE, and allowing users to add in other variants of the 2d6 engine (Mongoose, Michael Brown's Genre books, etc). I.e. pretty much everything should be optional/possible to switch out. Some thoughts: characteristics vary (by system and by race), skills vary (what skills exist, how are they subdivided, etc), task resolution system varies, the combat rules vary, damage and healing varies, As part of the above, also consider various common house rules.

TODO Check the license for CE FTL. Do I need permission to claim compatibility? Either way, ask permission.

Probably should do variant support by having a bunch of options that can either be toggled one by one, or by '2d6 variant'. I.e. if you choose 'CE FTL' you get that set of skills, combat rule options, etc.

This issue is pretty much irrelevant, closing. Will probably eventually add support for CE L, FTL and possibly even Quantum, but as far as this system's concerned, that's pretty much a bunch of settings and a skill list. Closing.
