Strike and Infinity are already confirmed reprints in the tins. Think Kozmo will be as well?

>>49047810
With the amount of reprints Kozmo gotten they might as well be given a structure deck.

I don't know how legit is this list but seems reasonable.

Wouldn't mind getting ahold of a Clear Wing and a Scarlight reprint. Sold mine awhile back. I just wish they would make holo prints of Swap Frog, Dupe, and Ronin

The first Mutants were Baby Boomers manifesting their powers as teens in the 1960's, finding their way in the anti-war movement at a time when the government was still producing new Supersoldiers.

The last big wave of Mutants are the children of those Supersoldiers empowered in 1972 as the program was being shut down. The first major string of power eruptions among this group of teenagers happened in 1987.

The first Metahumans caused a major public panic in the United States, being the offspring of "unwed draft-dodgers and radical Mutant separatists". The danger young children with superpowers posed to themselves and others provoked government intervention, leading to the first cases of superhumans in the US being raised to be government super-operatives.

Other nations possess supersoldier programs, despite the best attempts at Non-Proliferation. The People's Republic of China had tests as early as 1964 and began production in earnest in 1967. They didn't officially agree to stop production until signing the broader 1999 Non-Proliferation agreement, but the extent of the program or of China's possible proliferation of Supersoldier drugs during the intervening period is not known.

What is known is that in 1979 the Chinese, with American foreknowledge, attacked the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (ostensibly to defend and support the PRC's ally in the region, the Khmer Rouge). This involved a raid, the first large-scale action of Chinese Supersoldiers to be witnessed by the world community, as well as the massing of several top-tier Chinese Supersoldiers on the Soviet border, along with conventional troops, as part of deterrence against Soviet reprisals on behalf of Vietnam.

The darker side of this story is that it is suspected some scholars that before Mao's death and the passing over of power to Deng Xiaoping, the PRC may have provided Supersoldier drugs to the Khmer Rouge between their ascent to power in Cambodia in 1975 and Mao's death in September of the following year. But if the Vietnamese encountered Cambodian Supersoldiers during their defeat of Democratic Kampuchea and uncovering of the regime's genocidal acts, they suppressed that information for unknown reasons.

It's really weird, being European and all, how do you guys don't use North American Indians more in settings and stuff, than I remember only WoD and Dragolance used it for fantasy. While putting blacks everywhere, Native americans are nearly never found, and then mostly Mayan, Incans or Aztecs wannabes. Btw NA obsesion with blacks isn't very healthy, the interracial cuckold thing specially it's out of hands.

Not him, but I could imagine it being split up into befriend and negotiate, with the former simply being getting someone to like you and the latter getting them to do something they otherwise wouldn't do. It'd be the difference between:

>the guard lets you pass because you offer him half his monthly wage as a bribe

Depends on the system.

You're entitled to this opinion. I, personally, find random rolls constricting. On the other hand, I tend to play exactly one campaign in any given system and have an idea for what I'd like going in. If I only get one shot, I'd like to play an effective version of my character concept. If I played a lot of games in one system, or if the system was built around it, I could certainly see how rolled stats could give a more dynamic start or breathe new life into a tired game.

>>49044746

What >>49045026 said. Random roll-and-keep is for a very different style of play. If you walk in willing to make anything, and minimal character attachment is a positive (grindy dungeon crawler), then random roll does just fine. It's also advantageous for speedy character creation. If you walk in the door with a character concept, however, a randomized statblock may never meet the threshold necessary to effectively make that character. As you've shown, playing the least restrictive of concepts - vanilla Fighter - can mesh just fine, but by RAW you're not making a Paladin, the end. Also, in a system where suboptimal play is punished, the lack of agency baked into creation will frustrate and turn off the unlucky.

For every random roll success story, I have two of early-game suicide chains in an attempt to actually make the character you want instead of the one the dice handed you.

>>49044746
>guys, rolling stats is superior
>proceeds to give a superficial accessories to a character
>thisisrealroleplay.jpg
You gave the lamest excuse for a reason to roll stats possible, and proceeded to ignore how you will eventually die to a basic poison before level 5 and get a new chance for stat rolls to swing wildly the other direction.

Plenty of games do really well with rolled stats, and a lot don't. Most modern games use a stat array of some kind because it is mechanics that mean little to a character and the designers needed more balanced stats. Some games are like RuneQuest 6 where roles stats can hurt but don't outright cripple a character who can find ways to improve the area's he is really weak. It depends on how robust a system is to asymmetric balance.

>>49044656
A Custom Robo based system? Sounds like an interesting project. I've mulled over this concept a few times in my head so I'll post the main points I keep revisiting to help establish a baseline for you OP

The system should be lightweight and fast like you previously mentioned. If a pilot or builder section of the game exists, they should utilize different stats from the mech all together. The builder could possibly have a "Creativity" or "Skill" stat that influences the degree of customization his mech parts can receive.

The system must either include a large Armory with preexisting parts of a large variety or a method of customization that does not bog down the core gameplay excessively. Maybe parts customization utilizes Traits or Effects that modify existing "template" parts. I've had experiences making a massive database like the Armory idea and overall lean towards freeform customization since it was a nightmare to type up but the option is still present and has it perks like ease of balancing options.

For example, a few baseline templates could be "Standard", "Close Range" or "Long Range." Applying traits like "Powerful" could lower range but up damage. Some other Traits could be akin to "Spread", "Freeze", "Angled", or "Rapid Fire". Cosmetic Traits such as "Dragon: could also exist

For core dice system, I never really settled for one, but it should involve contesting rolls of some kind. For a Metroid RPG I designed, stats influenced how many d6 you rolled like a d6 pool that was then compared to contesting rolls or DCs, so something like that could work. I'll attach it to give you an idea of what I mean.

>>49045790
Last up, I'd be happy to lend some more ideas over Skype or something. I design systems in my free time and am just finishing up another update on my Fire Emblem game so I'd be free to throw ideas out or refine existing concepts further.

Okay, I'm missing something here.
Do you let them roleplay, or do you describe absolutely everything for them?
Also, there's nothing wrong with just flat-out saying, "You know, with a bit of effort, you could probably hunt that guy down."

>>49044542
I try to keep it open ended while being linear enough that if they do something unexpected I can still guide them.

Also I don't like doing it. But sometimes I have had to blatantly say once or twice "you're going to ass-fuck this campaign if you don't do this guys"

>>49044494
>I've decided that the next campaign, im writing them as a mercenary team working for an army so they can have maximum fun playing for the highest bidder.
Sounds like you already figured out the solution: your players don't want that much of a plot. They basically just want an action movie plot. Minimal political intrigue, just enough justification to get you from one battle to another.

And that's okay.

Opinion disregarded.

Don't go to a game store to hit on women, you dolt. People are there to play and talk games, not find romance or hookups.

Sure you did.

We totes believe you.

Totes.

I've played this game before. The perfect counter is the "I'm not here to educate you" card. Would have been embarrassing if you'd hung around long enough to see it played.

Can't even remember mine.
I know I had some Eldar "painted" as saim-hann back when GW had blood angels red spray in the mini can.

Silver guns, one coat of thick white on the helms and black bits everywhere. That shitty sawdust green flock on the base ontop of that red primer.

Eurgh, that's as far as I can remember. I got into Lotr a few years after that and my painting got better and better.

[Not a LARPfag, you should probably post this in a LARP thread or dedicated armor forum]

Reverse image search says it's a modified version of a "barbuta" or "barbute" style helmet.

http://www.armorvenue.com/epic-dark-visored-barbuta-helmet.html
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbute

This should help you find the sort of armor that would be worn with it, or at least help to inform whoever else you ask to help.

>>49043097
First thing, nothing. That helmet is a mythical invention of which there is zero evidence for its kind existing. A meme fantasy helm.

However the thing the visor is violating with its ahistorical presence is a barbute, which would go with late 15th century armor.
