Wow.

That is like, three entirely different sorts of nerdity, in one unholy composite....

(Says the guy who came up with D&D stats for Elmer Fudd's "Speaw and magic HEWWWWmet" from What's Opera Doc...)

Nah, I've been creating GURPS versions of the Terinu cast for a while now. Creating ship profiles is just a logical extension.

True nerdity involves creating Sim versions of the original KOST campaign and playing them. Not that I ever did that.
