So I'm in the process of setting up for my first ever GMing

That packet right there was both my very first PnP RPG experience, and GM experience, both happening in the same session.

My most memorable RPG session to date. Good luck, anon.

so its a good system to start with? good to hear

I've not done the Starcraft book, but Alternity in general is a good system. I found the quickstart material fun and easy to read, and my group enjoyed the Dark*Matter oneshot we did. The way armor works can be tricky, so remember to read over those rules.

The adventure involves bluffing your way past the zerg checkpoint.

So there is that.

>>44727551
Bluffing or combat, it's interesting the way the lore presents the Alliance and the concept of it being notable that the zerg lack alliance aggression inhibitors

>>44726188
Mechanically acceptable, but badly Crunched, and skills need a house rule or two if you don't want leveling to be an exercise in frustration.

Worth knowing I was going to try and sift other compatible books to get some ideas on how to Stat out Specters and adepts and hybrid

>cherry picking what to throw out
All of starcraft 2, all of it, just play alternaty as is and it's a better sequel

Hey, not all of SC 2 is bad, besides I'm not one to waste potential unlIke blizzard

>what is your advice for a soon to be first time GM?
Make spare NPCs. A lot. Mix and match as needed, don't be too married to keeping an NPC and the collection they appear in together.
