@Bobotron Tossing out there that Cortex was also used for the Serenity TTRPG, released right around the time of the film.

And yes, that is the d6 matrix thingy.

Re: Shadowrun Chargen - I'd do it as either City of Hope's chargen (make the player do everything), or the chummer version. But I'd want it to be a karma build, like CP for Eclipse Phase, because I am zany like that.

... but for reals, with the voucher/item code from Shadowrun: Denver, because that is amazing.

The trick to sitting around RP is that, if you are a courtier, yes, the majority of what you do IS sit around RP, but at the same time, it is specifically a means to an end, rather than just idly filling time at the sake house. And if you're NOT a courtier, by all means, go speak to the Scorpion Clan member over there and just spill secrets. No big deal.

Once upon a time, I happened upon a website. Where somebody had taken the old WED D6 Star Wars rules, and kitbashed the fuck out of them to be all Matrix-y. It seemed neat.

LCGs are a huge thing for Fantasy Flight, so it's no surprise they focused on that first. I, for one, am going to splurge and probably buy three of the core sets, partly because stupid sales model is stupid, but also effective, but also because extra tokens and such are nice to have. And we all know that there will be tokens. Because Fantasy Flight.

I'd be down for a 4e game, depending on how bonkers the FFG rules are. The rest... tricksy.

Necros because Fantasy Flight announced a beta test for their upcoming L5R RPG. I'll hop on the forums over there, request official authorization for MU-ing, etc etc. We'll see how zany the dice are for this one.

No. No. I liked L5R the way it was.

Then make a game the way it was. I'll be over here, with the fancy Theno dice code I lost, possibly throwing money at him to code new shiney things!

@Auspice There is a limit to which mods are available, as well as what they do. I'd say it is no more complicated than doing equipment things on Shadowrun: Denver (I say this as the former staffer who used to handle 2-4x the +job work of every other staff member combined. THEN AGAIN, that was with their voucher code, which likely made things easier. There is also the Starwars Saga edition workbench method, of 'player do it themselves'.)

I also cannot express how much I like Eclipse Phase for their weapon system. They don't make specific gun with specific rules. they say 'This is a shotgun, which deals X. If you add Y mod, it modifies the damage thusly; or you could BUY a shotgun with Y mod already installed. End result is the exact same thing. Also, you can add Y mod to this pistol over here, or that SMG over there, and it does the same damn thing.'

No 'one gun to rule them all' sort of bullshit you get from Shadowrun, World of Darkness, or any other game that wants to 'accurately mimick the differences between different real world gun models' like that sort of shit matters.

Edit for more gun modz.

@Auspice Hard Science game with some spooky advanced/evil tech that could be the spore things? I only watched the first season, and that was a while ago. Should re-watch.

@Seraphim73 Luckily, 2E recently finished a Kickstarter run, and there are many streamlined things from what I recall of the previews.

AS ALWAYS, my desire to have coded spaceships and morphs you can +wear for your various body-swapping needs will be the reason no one will want to halp code it. ALAS.

[...] The Expanse[...]

EEEEEECLIPSSSSSSSSE PHAAAAAAASE

It is post-apocalyptic. One might wonder if you are going to have proper covenants, or if they vanished along with mortal society, with new replacements? Sorta like the conspiracies that you could use in lieu of covenants, from Danse Macabre?

I also wonder if you even NEED different clans or bloodlines (or, hell, make the clans themselves bloodlines?)

I also whole-heartedly support coastal settings. Mostly because I wanna be ON A BOAT.

@Tempest

A lot of people also have problems with people playing Changeling as 'abuse victim: the RPG'.

If the mindset of the Social Combat thread is any indication, there are never abusive keepers. They are mega-friends with the changeling, who either bluffed their way out of their durance with crap poses and AMAZING DICE ROLLS, or 0 social stats and amazing poses. No combination of the two exist.

At what point does that reputation not spread?

When you fail to kill a thing and it can go spread rumors. Besides, this is just the home town base. All plots are ROADTRIPS, donchaknow?

Let Freedom Ring is a 20th anniversary MU run by the same folks from City of Hope, set in Philadelphia.

Fallen World... CoD/2e nWoD game (only Mage and Werewolf presently) set in NYC.

Nao can haz mummiez?

It's a mega bad stat. Oh my god. Every_rper says in OOC: "Teehee/heh SL2/appearance 6...."

What about players who're too cheap to actually buy the stat although they clearly want it, so they end up making a wiki with super attractive supermodel pictures, write descriptions about how scorching hot their every inch is, and yet they don't have the merits because dammit, brawl 4?

You bitchslap them and run train on them with NPCs until they spend the karma on appropriate social stuff. And then you take this argument back over to the social combat thread where it belongs.

@golgoth I meant 'oh no, the 5e thread got deleted'... but it is back now! Success!

@RayneDev Grab their HSpace stuff on the way out?

@Wizz Something, something, NEW PROGENITOR TECH, something.
