The SCS was made as an addon to the CYOA to cover the combat side of roleplaying. It allows players to easily take characters made in the CYOA v1.5 and use them in Quests and long-running campaigns alike.

This PDF covers the basics of magical girls and sets the groundwork for updates and addons.

>Errata for 1.6
Core p.15: Add the following Outfit Enhancement. "Spellweaver - Increase your Spell Rating by 5 while equipped."
Core p.19: Spell Rating is calculated by adding your MAG and your highest stat together.
O&C, F&F p.8: If someone has both Marked and Minions, their Minions are immune to their own summoner's Marked ability.

With fancy dice and exp costs.

The force is represented by a d10 (or d12 don't remember) that you either use for force powers, or add to skill rolls due to talents. On a more meta level, players roll a force die at the start of the session to generate the pool of destiny points.

Anyone got a more detailed run down?

>we don't learn sports by reading the rules - we watch and quickly learn how to play

Yes, because the rules are simple and easy to understand. There are plenty of table top games with simple rules, like checkers or monopoly, and each of them are fun to play in their own way. Things like D&D have rules can govern literally anything a person could possibly do and so are going to necessarily be more complex.

If you want games with simple rules there are hundreds of thousands of them. Don't ruin my fun.

Different strokes for different people, Mikey.

I like a good balance between crunch and fluff. 5e is pretty good for me. But I will play more systems to get a better view of things.

>>49874705
Forgive the briefness of my response but I'm on my phone.

I guess that is one way to look at the games, but there's a fundamental problem that I think is too often overlooked in RPG theory. The thing is, RPGs function in some ways like literature - there might be a more or less explicit athorial intent, but ultimately each group of players is going to interpret the game in its own way. This is part of the hobby since the very beginning, and it's going to be until the end - it didn't really work out even for those circles of indie game designers who insist that their games have only one correct way to be played.

What I mean is that, while looking at streamed games and actual plays could offer some new insight, the idea that design should be based on that is ridiculous. Played games are games that went through an elaboration by the group; which is only good for that group. Designers should stop worrying about that, and just try to write better games and leave them in the open.

Playing a weeaboo anime wuxia character in a standard fantasy setting was never "interesting". Monk as a class was, and still is, a mistake.

In b4 retards say "hurrdurr anything works in DnD!", because they're the same retards who would let you use plasma guns by that same logic.

>>49873989
I'm not sure what you're even looking for. The 5e monk is fine - it gets the highest quantity of attacks, it can stun-lock enemies for a little while, and it now has four subclasses that aren't shit - but I have a feeling that you won't like any class that occasionally just makes a normal attack roll followed by a normal damage roll.

Oh look, another 3.5 babby who skipped the one game that actually solved his problems.

Remember when bad guys were evil and you didn't have to worry about if they had a puppy they really liked when they were a kid so that absolves them of everything?

>>49873172
It absolves them of nothing; there's a difference between an explanation and a valid excuse.

Dragons as nobility in a land inspired by the Holy Roman Empire.

39KB, 450x253px

Dragons are seen as Great Guardian Spirits for cities and occasional towns to keep the creatures of vô (Think Grimm except lesser demons spat out by semi-random portals to the abyss) at bay. It's a symbiotic relationship really. The dragons grow and survive on the ambient aura created by humans and the humans get the protection of friendly magical dragons. Haven't decided how this ties to royalty yet.

>Additional info
The year is 1631 and the Thirty Years War rages on. The Swedish army is on the march to Würzburg, which is the region’s most important political, religious, and thanks to the Marienburg Fortress, military center. Karlstadt is directly in the army’s path, and many fear that the army is keen on taking revenge for the sack of Magdeburg. The Swedish anger is further stoked by Swedish king Adolphus's hatred of witches, and belief that the Prince-Bishop and populace of Catholic heretics are abiding witchcraft. The army will reach its destination in 8 days.

Rumors say that 10 days ago, a group of sorceresses known as The Seven overthrew the ruling class of Karlstadt and laid down their own law: "There will be No More War", disarming the people and closing down all of the churches. The Prince-Bishop of Würzburg, secluding his own men behind the city walls, has promised a bounty of 1,000 SP for the head of each of The Seven, 10,000 SP if the heads of all seven are delivered.

We currently have 2 players (including me) and need more for the game

I would compare it to a thunderhawk with less guns/ no transport but a fuck ton of bombs.

B52- superheavy flyer 500pts
2twin linked heavy boaters
20 promethium bombs
(S6 Ap4 large blast ignore cover, soleblaze)

Scorched Earth: this unit may shoot only 5 bombs in each shooting phase

High altitude flyer: this unit my only be shot at by units with sky fire or other flyers.

Or something like that.

>>49872338
Use this as their largest flyer ever? What was it called again? Barracuda?
