Simbad?
I found another remedy. Maybe this one'll help.
Fshhh! I hate spiders!
You'll end up killing my patient with your snakeoils
I'm barely able to keep him alive with my song...
you can talk?!
Of course I can talk! I'm a muse, not some cheap apparition!
Your buddy here's dying.
Die? no!
I can't heal ailments of magical origins. only slow their advance, sonner or later...
I've always been alone, I never thought I would care so much for someone else...
and a human no less!
Oh Simbad! What will I do without you?
There may be a way though...

It is 75 years since the Raid on Alexandria, a covert operation by Italian Navy divers of the Decima Flottiglia MAS, who attacked and disabled (but did not sink) two Royal Navy battleships in the harbour of Alexandria, Egypt, using manned torpedoes.

The submarine Scirè of the Italian Royal Navy had left La Spezia on December 3rd, carrying three manned torpedoes, nicknamed maiali (pigs) by the Italians. At the island of Leros, the submarine secretly picked up six crewmen for them: Luigi Durand de la Penne and Emilio Bianchi (nº 221), Vincenzo Martellotta and Mario Marino (nº 222), and Antonio Marceglia and Spartaco Schergat (nº 223).

On the 19th, Scirè—at a depth of 15 m (49 ft)—released the manned torpedoes 1.3 mi (1.1 nmi; 2.1 km) from Alexandria commercial harbour, and they entered the naval base when the British opened their defenses to let three of their destroyers pass. There were many difficulties for de la Penne and Bianchi. First, the engine of the torpedo stopped and the two frogmen had to manually push it; then Bianchi had to surface due to problems with the oxygen provider, so that de la Penne had to push Maiale alone to where HMS Valiant lay. There he successfully placed the limpet mine, just under the hull of the battleship. However, as they both had to surface, and as Bianchi was hurt, they were discovered and captured.

Questioned, both of them kept silent, and they were confined in a compartment aboard Valiant, under the sea level, and coincidentally just over the place where the mine had been placed. Fifteen minutes before the explosion, de la Penne asked to meet with Valiant's captain Charles Morgan and then told him of the imminent explosion but refused to give further information, so that he was returned to the compartment. Fortunately for the Italians, when the mine exploded just before them, neither he nor Bianchi were severely injured by the blast, while de la Penne only received a minor injury to the head by a ship chain.

Added in the stuff. Addressed some of ASA's item concerns. Added in the Shovelling Bunnies and the Moon Fireworks. If cyoag is interested because of formatting it went to 17 pages at 5599 (not 8 pages at 8k like they thought)

Despite its title it's tentatively finished unless Epicure wants to add more stuff or people have items they want added in. Merry Xmas.

>>50860250
I have no clue what is representative of your chain so I have nothing to add on my part unfortunately. I mean I contemplated adding in Xmas Robots, but then I dunno if people would really key in who that referred to.

I just wanna say, the comic is awesome.

Where's a good place to start? My friend told me it was really dry.

Also, theres like 10 different series within the universe, no?

>>50859639
Just read the first story first. If you like it read Black Axe. It's not really separate series. Each Volume is just a distinct story.

All Luke Crane designed games share some similar qualities. Dice pools, backstory based character creation, the idea that the GM is supposed to throw the whole world at you for a while until you get to a town to spend the night.

Daichi is an idiot, but he means well.

But I'm a real person and I'm perfect

>>50856925
Personally I never "give" my characters flaws. Sure if the system requires it I choose, but otherwise the only flaws that I "give" my characters are based on stats.

I never give my chars personalities. Why? Because I like it better when the character actually develops during play. Every character starts out as a blank state but as the game goes on they start to acquire traits, preferences and flaws. I think it's more organic this way.

>>50856925
>Why do some players have issues giving their character a flaw or vice?
Who are these people who hate (free) bonuses for taking drawbacks?
>No other player in my group seems to want to give their characters any negative aspects.
They're boring.
>the closest thing 1 player said was "she's vain and shallow".
Does that actually ever come up or are they just fucking about?
>but everyone else literally cant be bothered to give one, or just say "i never really thought about flaws"
>What gives? Isn't it more fun to play someone who seems like a real person?
Couldn't tell you, last few characters I've played took more hindrances than they benefited from 10 fold over. Though I guess real people can be broken too. Hell I even designed by robots last game to be fairly shitty until we hit the big score (and I mean when you have a few mil to burn fuck it, right?). Did they need to be? Nah, but I wanted my theme to be "disposable" specialized support robots. You know, something homemade out of hobbyist kits.

Interesting way to integrate flat distributions into FUDGE, I think. By design, 4DF doesn't deviate much and thus isn't super-risky to begin with.
What I don't think would be optimal is adding criticals to FUDGE, though. According to the definition you posit, that would be ironically risky for the "safe" option of 1DF (crit fail 1/3rd of the time, crit success 1/3rd of the time).
The variability that increases per die comes with no change to the expected value so the merit of the thing is just psychology and perspective. It is its own risk and reward to stay conservative, whereas it is own risk and reward to widen the curve.

Very cool idea, so don't throw this one away from your homebrew.

>>50854660

Another option you could consider is a die dedicated to extra effort that has different odds. Fate dice are generally 2-2-2 chance of a either a good, neutral, or bad result. But what if you could throw an extra dice that was 1-2-3. It'll probably fail, but it gives the player a slim chance, and reflects taking a gamble.

>>50855794
Hmm
I think this is a motion towards what I'm considering.

Crits are cool but I think I'd prefer a crit system in FUDGE where the lowest result didn't make me crit-fail, especially with a Fate homebrew. I'd rather take a curve more biased towards failure to compensate.

I'm not familiar with Shadowrun's stating system, but shouldn't magic be a 1-7? Some can do damage based on how many steps you've taken throughout the entire game so it seems they're capable of pretty good, if oddly specific spell.

>>50850278
>>50850189
they gain a special attack that gets slowly more powerful the more unhurried steps(no Initiative passes) they take between initiation and landing the attack

>>50850189
IIRC they have pretty high base defense so maybe have them as a BOD-3 or BOD-4 starter

I like it it's fun to watch it sometimes
