I'm looking for a miniature based dungeon crawl game similar to those of the 90's (Heroe's Quest/Dragon Strike)

I've been considering Silver Tower by gamesworkshop but I was wondering if there is anything else anybody could recommend before I drop the cash

Can someone help me understand the rule about ability modifying? It says "In some cases, it simply costs more points to use the ability in a new way. In other cases, more challenges are involved." but doesn't exactly make it clear what that means? When would it be necessary to roll? Picture related, it's the PC who made me wonder about this.

>>54750812
When you're trying to use an ability in a new way, it can either cost more points from the pool to activate, or it might increase the difficulty of the test to use the ability etc.

Example, nano is trying to use Scan on an area larger than the skill normally supplies. The GM could rule that it costs 4 points of intellect instead of 2, or perhaps require an intellect check to properly activate it. It's mostly up to the GM to make the decision.

I don't know how to help you but bump for Numenera. I've run it a few times and I love the concept of the growing new civilization in the ruins of post-singularity ancients, the Phantasy Star IV meets Eclipse Phase aspects, even if the execution needs work.

it makes it fair to modify existing powers without having to have a COMPLETELY seperate power (cough cough pathfinder). >>54753405 describes it well enough. the cypher system in general has a lot of basic logic things that shouldn't be extrapolated, just played out.

What does the Space Marine power fist do?
44 posts and 6 images submitted.
>>
Its fists... powerfully.
>>
>>54749966

It's basically a light saber hulk hand because for some reason they can't make it work on regular sized gauntlets. Power gloves and smaller solarite gauntlets are very rare.

The large power fist can be used to bludgeon enemies, crumple tanks and fortifications, and also peel open armor. It isn't so much a glove as a detached mecha hand.

We had awesome creepy tales of space when space get a little bit inhabited.

Let's do the same about underwater villages.
It's nearly the same as space: if you live under 40 meters you

In such villages you never close the moon pool. You don't want your fellow aquanaut to suffocate cause you were too slow to open the door.

Stories about mermaids entering at night and stealing food are common.


Also you can't go to the surface whenever you want. You have dissolved gasses in your bloodstream you need to let out slowly. I do not know the exact time but I bet hour of slow pressure changes.

And the most effecicent way for energy is to have a single nuclear fusion station at the center of the village that gives energy to everyone.

What do?

The Adepta Sororitas are really cool and the only way(other than Tyranids) GW has of attracting female players, yet all they have them do is lose and get curb-stomped constantly.

Why?

They're elite enough to make things that beat them seem threatening, but they aren't the poster-boy marines that aren't allowed to lose.

>>54746386
A disproportionate percentage of the Tyranid playerbase is female. Nobody's done surveys, but the anecdotal evidence from a lot of different FLGS's seems strong.

What could stop a country which includes great Britain and france with true borders (Picture)?
88 posts and 14 images submitted.

>>54746195
A Holy Roman Empire that is at once Holy, Roman, and Empire.

Having said that, what I'm going to call Imperial Aquitaine isn't possible in real life. As long as the Channel exists to slow down communication and make the movement of armies difficult, folk in Britain are going to want to be free to do their own thing without having to listen to some asshole in France; or vice-versa if the seat of Imperial Aquitaine's power is in Britain instead of France (though it wouldn't be - all the money's in France naturally, and would remain so until England both squared away the whole Scottish issue an got her world empire up and running).

Oh, that reminds me of another problem - England is the only one with any real historical ties to France. Wales, Scotland, and Ireland have no equivalent tie. Now no one gives a fuck about the Wales and Ireland, but Scotland is JUST populous and ornery enough that you'd have to fix that problem first.

was thinking of running a game with a similar tone and style to pic related. Was wondering what advice you might have on how to manage that and incorporate a more pulpy old school sci-fi-fi tone.

Some general questions
>What system to use?
Was thinking of traveler or GURPS

> How to handle alien races?
Should I come up with a pre set list or allow players to design their own?

> General setting and world building advise?
How should I handle running and designing a campaign in a pulpy space opera style world when I come from a background of running and playing more gritty and lethal systems ( WFRP, AD&D 2e etc.)

Traveller is best for a generic space opera setting. It has some guidelines for creating your own races, too.

If you really want to ape GotG, though, I would suggest a more narrative system, or even a superhero system.
>>
Why not use Starfinder? It just came out.

The envoy and solarian are too strong though, they're way overpowered.

My suggestion: DONT DO THIS

if your players are not careful in preparing a disguise, then a smart guard will teach them to be more thorough

it also lets you force your players to resort to fast talking if they get complacent with the old disguise routine

it makes sense for a guard to be quick on the draw if they are locals
>>
Depends, did they fail their roll, or did you decide the players didn't have enough attention to detail when roleplaying their disguise?
>>
>>54742385
>Is pulling a move like this acceptable as a GM?
Only if the players massively fucked up the disguise.

Otherwise, you're just being a tremendous faggot because the players neglected to mention random minutae about the setting.
