Comment on Legion of Gold – A Gamma World Review by Epic Prime

I got to play the new Gamma World last summer, I wasn’t won over by it, prior editions of the game are much better. I felt the newest edition was far too random, especially with the revolving Alpha mutations. I have played Gamma World since 2nd Edition, I feel 3rd & 4th editions were the pinnacle, the d20 system was decent for 5th/6th, but the D&D4e system wasn’t even utilized enough to make Gamma World a game that is more than a one-shot system. That’s how I feel about it.

The first 2 links in the list of 4 do not work. Thought you might like to know.

Thanks for your data on the content vault services! I’ve been using them for a couple weeks, and your site is the only one I’ve seen that references the service at all. Kudos.

I’m wondering if you’ve done much with it since the original post. I’ve been searching for some documentation everywhere, but to no avail.

Any thoughts you may have would be appreciated.

Ok… I made some changes (since it wasn’t quite VB friendly)… but still can’t get it to work. Here’s the code (it compiles) – but won’t return a valid login:

Public Shared Function SimpleEncrypt(ByVal value As String, ByVal key As String) As Byte()

Dim buffer2 As Byte()
Dim Transform As ICryptoTransform

Transform = GetSimpleAlgorithm(key).CreateEncryptor
Dim stream As New MemoryStream()
Dim stream2 As New CryptoStream(stream, Transform, CryptoStreamMode.Write)
Dim bytes As Byte()

Using stream
bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(value)
stream2.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length)
stream2.Flush()
stream2.FlushFinalBlock()
stream.Position = 0L
buffer2 = stream.ToArray()

End Using

Return buffer2

End Function

Private Shared Function GetSimpleAlgorithm(ByVal key As String) As SymmetricAlgorithm

Dim aes As New AesManaged()
Dim sha As SHA256Managed = New SHA256Managed()

Dim source As Byte() = sha.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key))
Dim myMgr As New AesManaged
myMgr.IV = source.Take(aes.BlockSize / 8).ToArray()
myMgr.Key = source

Return myMgr

End Function

Any ideas?
