Title: Does anybody still have the old BFG:R rules that Plaxor began?
Post by: Thinking Stone on August 22, 2019, 06:38:59 AM

Though this recent bout of navel*-gazing may bring despair to those who lament the slow activity of this forum in modern times, it is a sign of life, at least!

I have recently been re-reading some of the old discussions that led to the creation of the BFG:R project (which is now represented by BFG:XR, of course), and several of the discussions make reference to Plaxor’s document of modified rules. I foolishly never retrieved a copy for myself and they are long-gone from their hosting platform. Does anybody have a copy?

Note that I’m not talking about the fleet list rules, but rather the main rulebook modifications (things like fighter attack craft all getting a 4+ save). Most of these were dropped from the BFG:R project when AfterimageDan took over and the focus changed.

There is a document up on Scribd, but it seems much more incomplete than some of the versions Plaxor once had.

* at least the puns are appropriate!

Hi Thinking Stone! I know I'm late to this post but I think I have Plaxor's documents somewhere. Still looking for them?

Looks like i may have them. File dates are 2012 so not sure where that lands

I was wondering why I'd not seen these replies and then I realised that it was because the forum had been down :P

Thanks everybody! It's good to see people still alive (well, I'd seen Jimmy elsewhere, but still)! I'll have a look at Jimmy Zimms's document and see what it looks like!

It'd be interesting to see if they're the same as your copy, @afterimagedan!

I believe I found them exactly how he left them.
