I've included a human character that the party sees in passing in every town, theyve begun to take notice. Ive got a few options where I can take this character, but I'd like to get suggestions as well.
Find out what the players think he is and use your favorite explanation.

I'm almost positive the Sun would win. No Lion could ever get close enough to attack, and the innermost lions would combust, creating a hazard for the lions behind them.
>>51811992
Just look at the site for a while

5e is a good place to start
>>51812143
Now the sun has to deal with a trillion flaming lions. How is it going to do that?
My group of three players and one GM (me) are looking for a moderately crunchy science fiction game. We've got a fun, ongoing Dresden Accelerated game, so the benchmarks are:
>Suitable for episodic play - think episodes of a weekly TV show rather than sequential chapters in a novel
>WAY less crunchy than Shadowrun 5e, probably a little less crunchy than Eclipse Phase...
>...but crunchier than Fate Core or Fate Accelerated. We're already doing one of those.
>Either already in a Transhumanist setting, or easily adaptable to such a setting. We actually _like_ Eclipse Phase, but we've got one player allergic to d100 systems.
Nice to haves:
>One player wants to be a full-conversion/full-body cyborg; one player wants to be a talking motorcycle (we have all known this player); one player wants to be a DIY-er space redneck. I'm not judging them--just putting it out there.
>Weird shit. Doesn't have to be cut-and-dry space marines and ambassadors.
We've considered Nova Praxis and Mindjammer (both discarded because they're Fate; no issues with their content) and The Sprawl (discarded because the players are tired of often doing groups that are characters taking illegal jobs for pay, and that game strongly assumes that premise; otherwise, PbtA games might be great for us).
Do any of the things we're considering sound plausible for what we want? Should I just commit to brushing up on my trigonometry and learning some edition of Traveller? Diving into GURPS/Transhuman Space? What about Degenesis, Fragged Empire, and--possibly to my eventual regret--a mashup that uses the Sixth World fan-written PbtA hack in the setting of Eclipse Phase, landing us at a system that's crunchier than FAE (but not _much_ crunchier) with a setting that hits all the relevant thematic buttons.
That last one might be a huge mess, but w/e.
Meanwhile, general sci-fi art thread.
>>51811951
From my Eclipse Phase folder.
You don't need trigonometry for Traveller, that's silly. It's a modestly crunchy system. But while it's my favorite SF system, it doesn't sound appropriate for what you're looking for.
Maybe look at Savage Worlds with its sci-fi companion?
>>51812108
Oh yeah, they do have Interface Zero (and like a million other books, so I'm sure I could find something suitable).
If you had to argue in favor of Traveller for what I'm looking after, what would you say? And, I suppose, what are the reasons you'd think it's not ideal?

Asking again, for more answers:
Which OSR systems have the crunchiest combat systems? Something with enough options to make combat more tactical while still being OSR-fast.

Yeah, we even got the variant where humans aren't cute but downright sexy.
I liked tge opposite idea. Humans are so boring, uninteresting and unassuming, that we become THE boring, uninteresting and unassuming race. Crowd incarnate. As in, the perfect spies, infiltrators, saboteurs and assassins.

Well, then they would explode. Literally explode. And you just turned a race of horrible rat people into a race of even more horrible EXPLODING rat people, Dwarf Fortress style.
So yea, pretty evil.

Nice name!
Now onward with Nightmare City!Come Under The Wet Yourself [100]: There are moments at which you’ll hit rock bottom. However you’ll always find a small glimmer of hope even in your darkest moments. Even should you be at the edge of suicide you would at least find a second to reflect on your good times. It isn’t guaranteed to help but this perk allows you a moment of clarity about the good things in life.
This Little Time That You Live Here [200]: You’ve learned that some things are more valuable than others. Time can pass by but the emotional impact of memories can change a person more readily than any other weapon or armor. You can gauge your emotions slightly, allowing you to care a little less about unimportant things and cling a little more to memories of joy and happiness. Whilst this can’t alter your personality it may lead you to have greater determination when facing unlikely odds.We Cannot Change the Past [400]: The past is immutable to those of this world so you must learn to accept deal with the present no matter how ugly it’s face. Overcoming a perilous situation and ending in triumph is always the path you should seek but reflecting on the past allows you to objectively take in both failure and victory so to make you stronger. Should you take time to reflect on something you had trouble with you’ll be able to create counters for that situation so that if you ever encountered that situation again you would be able to make the result favor you more than the last time. The closer to the original situation that the new one is the greater the plan’s effectiveness, however the more differences that are introduce the less effective the plan will become.
Field too long. Continuing on next post.
>>51813364
Have no idea what happened there.
Reach Out Our Hands [600]: The future is yours to create. Moments come when you are faced with the threat to all that you hold dear. This power allows you to, in moments of dire need when you or a loved one is threatened with death or worse, to gain powerful boost that could, if used correctly, turn the tables. This boost is mostly temporary but always leaves you slightly better off than before it activated, reflected in anything from a full heal to the ability to manifest weapons out of thin air. Powers left behind are minimalistic things, pale shadows of the power you enjoyed during the temporary period of boost, but mastering them could be a path to getting to that point on a more permanent bases.

And yet she's in the absolute worst color combination in the format, with no synergy with basically any of the subthemes of those colors unlike Jor-Kadeen or Tajic, while performing the same exact role except worse and being similarly costed.

How do Hunters deal with Lunacy/delirium?

I'm trying to figure out what resonance this NPC would have about himself/his magic. If its not clear he uses a portal generator and the lightning calculator merit to murder local politicians.
I'm still trying to get a grasp on the resonance system in general so any advice there is also appreciated.
