Storm Crow is, without doubt, one of the most overpowered Magic cards ever printed.

Take your favourite RPG system, or the one you're currently engaged with, and answer Sorensen's Three Design Questions.

>What is the game about?
>How do the mechanics support this?
>How does the game reward players enganging with what it is about?

If you find a measure of incongruence between your answers to questions 1 and 2, make question 2 the following.
>What do the mechanics imply the game is about?

Example: Blades in the Dark
>What is it about?
BitD is about gangs and crime, executing heists and capers for wealth and power in the criminal underworld, and taking/weighing significant risks.

>How is it about that?
Flexible, mechanized planning allows for players to quickly engage in a new heist, without extended time spent on actual planning. Flashbacks allows for retroactive planning and preparation at the cost of Stress. Stress can be gained to negate consequences of actions, but at the risk of gaining a more serious, permanent consequence on your character should you max-out Stress.

>How are players rewarded?
Players are rewarded in XP for PCs and Crews, Coin (abstraction of currency), and Rep for Crews
PC XP is gained whenever you take a Desperate Action, or when you play to your class' XP trigger (specific MO), when you Train during downtime, and at the end of each session if your Vice and Trauma(s) have caused significant issues, or your PCs background/heritage/drives have come into play.
This XP can be invested in 4 XP tracks, to either improve general skills/actions, or to gain class specific abilities.
Crew XP is gained by playing to your Crew type's XP trigger (specific MO). Upon advancement, the whole Crew can gain a new special ability, or take more general upgrades.
Rep is gained for succesfully executing plans, depending on the Tier of your target. Rep is used to increase your Crews standing and access to resources, or to reinforce the Crew against hostile actions.
Coin is gained upon successfully executing plans. The amount earned is left up to GM interpretation, but 1 Coin is a decent amount of cash. Coin is spent as part of advancing the Crew's Tier, improve the effect of certain action during downtime (bribes etc), take additional downtime actions, and invest in a PC's lifestile upon retirement.

>>What is the game about?
Play anything
>>How do the mechanics support this?
Flexibility and adaptability. Balanced point buy. Simple core mechanics
>>How does the game reward players enganging with what it is about?
Immediate satisfaction. Custom creating detailed powers and abilities exactly to spec. Fair play using the bell curve of 3d6 probability projections. Ease of use.

Traveller General.png
124KB, 1000x1312px
Traveller is a classic science fiction system first released in 1976. In its original release it was a general purpose SF system, but a setting was soon developed called The Third Imperium, based on classic space opera tropes of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, with a slight noir tint.
Though it can support a wide range of game types, the classic campaign involves a group of retired veterans tooling around in a spaceship, taking whatever jobs they can find in a desperate bid to stay in business, a la Firefly or Cowboy Bebop.

There is any way to protect a Evil outsider to be:

- Unaffected by holy water
- Unaffected by Channel Positive Energy
- Have his alignment disguised against high level magic (barring True Seeing)?

What I'm trying to do is a BBE that is disguised and act as a spy in the PCs holy church, but I need to check if I can do this bulletproof (or almost) by the rules.

FAQ:
>What the fuck is this?
Somewhat a campaign of crack-infused free-form roleplay in the grim darkness of the far future.

>When do you guys make these threads?
Usually mondays at 4PM GMT, but they sometimes extend to Tuesdays if we got caught in the middle of something when the thread died and it was too late to make another one the same day.

>Can I join in?
Sure, just think of a character and have fun, you can find most info in 1d4chan albeit it's ussually a little bit out of date in comparison to where the threads are.

>Is there any requirement in character creation.
Not really, we've had Xeno infiltrators, Chaos infiltrators, Villains, Heroes, Normal Guardsmen, Crazed Guardsmen, Assassins, Psykers, Space Marines, Inquisitors, Squats... just think whathever and join the fun.

>Is it allowed to have more than a single character?
Yes as long as you don't use it to powerplay.

>So how you guys do the playan'?
We tend to use spoilers for OOC chat, but nothing is set in stone.
We tend to use greentexts for describing a character's actions, but again nothing is set in stone.
Use d20s for combat checks and d100s for other things you want to roll, higher Is better.
It's important to know that the regiment is now in the employ of a radical Ordo Xenos Inquisitor, with influence from an Ordo Malleus Inquisitor and under the watch of an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor. Yes we've been through a lot of shit.

>Why don't you guise move to quest?
We're not a quest that's why.

Tell me your nit picks. What do you hate about infinity?


My personal un-favorites are:

The release schedule makes no sense, you get told enough information ahead of time to get you excited but in the end you're left in the dust for a long time on missing profiles, upcoming models, etc.


Most female HI suck and look like pin-up dolls and are hard to assemble.

What your map looks like is significantly less important than if there's anything interesting on it. You could have full maps of the 12 planets of the system or 20 square miles in the middle of nowhere, all that matters is if there are actually important things on it. Nobody cares about anything else.

It is 76 years since the Battle of Taranto, fought between British naval forces, under Admiral Andrew Cunningham, and Italian naval forces, under Admiral Inigo Campioni. The Royal Navy launched the first all-aircraft ship-to-ship naval attack in history, with a small number of obsolescent Swordfish biplane torpedo-bombers from the aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious in the Mediterranean Sea. The attack struck the battle fleet of the Regia Marina at anchor in the harbour of Taranto using aerial torpedoes despite the shallow depth of the water. The devastation wrought by the British carrier-launched aircraft on the large Italian warships was the beginning of the ascendancy of naval aviation over the big guns of battleships. According to Admiral Cunningham, "Taranto, and the night of November 11–12, 1940, should be remembered for ever as having shown once and for all that in the Fleet Air Arm the Navy has its most devastating weapon."

Codenamed Operation Judgment, Cunningham and Lyster planned to attack Taranto on October 21, Trafalgar Day, with aircraft from HMS Illustrious and HMS Eagle. This was later changed following fire damage to Illustrious and action damage to Eagle. While Eagle was being repaired, it was decided to press on with the attack using only Illustrious. Several of Eagle's aircraft were transferred to augment Illustrious' air group and the carrier sailed on November 6. In the days before the attack, several reconnaissance flights from Malta confirmed that the Italian fleet was at Taranto.

Given these events, the RAF advised against the raid. They were afraid that a failure would result in the improvement of anti-aircraft defenses of the Italian harbour. But their warnings were ignored and the raid went ahead to devastating effect. Italian anti-aircraft guns were confused by flares set off by two leading planes; these also successfully illuminated targets.
