... But it is unlikely to be Eurus ...

Aww maaaan. The dunes, the duuuunes.

Understandable though.

Oh yeah, for the procrastinators on the forum, the best "advice" is "Just get started." No pressure to get done, just do that first thing.

@pandora Are you asserting that you, or even most people do NOT have moments where they lack effective awareness of others, in any form?

@Admiral A review of you, or by you? Or by you, of them?

FFS, do not go into QA unless it is as an automation engineer.

I agree, but only when the given FATE product has a kit to make sure your Aspects do have valuable benefits and drawbacks.

I also love being able to draw upon passions, convictions, values, motivations or what have you, but it can become really rote and flat if you are supposed to do it often.

Is it publicly linked here? -_-

Not yet.

OMG, direct publishing. Mostly. Hurrah for follow through!

@Meg si suoegartuo, and that's good enough for me.

I forget that modern folks have a wiki like right there with their domain, not hidden somewhere. That's on me.

It was too hard to find. Took me allll day (5 seconds). Such obscure titles too.

How am I supposed to tell Jesus was blonde and blue eyed from those statues? I swear.

Uh. There are major movies galore about protective mothers, fathers, siblings who don't think the star is ready for X.

I hope the class roasts her.

What are these coded combat systems? Is there a description in a wiki? Is this like the FS3 combat? Or something else?

For me coded combat can be anything from yes you can have access to the controls to get an action order, and check for actions and success and results AND mark your own damage tracks -- all the way to everything is automated you just select what action/power and what target.

Double checking, were the line breaks from the MU*, or from your own output formatting? As in you told it to add a blank line between text strings?

Additional maybe approach: Sort of in the vein of the one attack roll is then applied at -0, -2, -4 etc until it misses, just make a defense roll, and say it applies with penalties until it fails, then ask the person to use up another defense. You can also make feats/advantages/fighting styles/powers that reduce the penalties to multiples defenses (and multiple attacks, though I think multiple attacks should always be harder than a single one).

If you are planning on a cumulative cost to defenses, do note the typical have a bunch of less powerful attack use up defensive actions or inflict a cumulative penalty to defense of next rounds actions as a set up a big sucker punch.

Sounds okay until the day you realize your group of supposed to be mostly harmless kobolds or slow zombies just destroyed the defenses of the PC right before the big charged baddie attack arrives and vaporizes them.

My "best" answer to that so far works in some games but not others. I say that if your average defense would counter an attack, then it is reflexive. If you need more than that, then you can start using up actions or gaining a cumulative penalty while making a roll.

This was the issue in Buffy games. Buffy couldn't begin to stand up to the kinds of numbers she did in the show, and everyone else was in worse shape.

Austin > Seattle

In rental prices, native irritation at newbies, the chill factor, in racism, or homophobia?

My wife would suffer more from the chill than I would. She does well when she has people to share her care giving experiences with, and peeps to do music and dancing with.

I thought it was all the high paid tech company employees ruining Seattle?
I can't tell if I should move there. I don't need friends, but I don't tolerate bullshit either.
