Should've included that, it's basically just getting a shield instead of pact weapon. Also Plate is OP, I'll probably just replace Mecha with the ability to bond with heavy armor, but I kind of want mecha transformation to work.

>If you play online, what tools do you use?
Roll20 for character sheets, battle maps, and rolling.

Discord for chat between sessions, private messages, and voice.

>>48872983
Right now I'm using Skype and we're going to try discord out. Any tips for a DM with 24 hours before the game?

Step 1: Add a social combat mechanic.

>>48870716
What's that?

I figure I'd just railroad like fuck, make the players listen to me talking for hours without them really contributing much in the way of choices, maybe throw my magical realm in there.

Constantly make sexual comment about all of the other players, male and female, both in and out of character.

Alternatively, identify the least willful player and focus on harassing them in an overt manner that makes all of the other players recognize what you're doing.

Have someone get raped.

Make nonsensical decisions about what is or isn't balanced, and come down unreasonably hard on the things you deem broken. Find the most mechanically powerful character in the group and accept it after a minor change, but when someone gives you a character designed for roleplay turn it down because "if I can't see what's broken about it it must be really bad."

In order to simulate improper hygiene without actually having to live like Chris-chan for several months soak a shirt in a tub of melted butter for an hour, then hang it to dry in the sun. Wear the shirt. This is a test of endurance.

They're not immune to Nurgles plagues. They're just significantly more resistant to toxic conditions than normal humans are, and their resistance to that makes them of interest to Nurgle. They're not immune to things like Nurgles Rot.

Also, I'm 99% sure that neither Isha nor Tzeentch have nothing to do with this.

d100 Recruitment Criteria

The main advantage is the same as the advantage of adding more mechanics of any part of a game, the players have a greater ability to understand and therefore plan around the rules. A game system with social combat means that instead of just character stats and role-playing how well you play the game itself (in whatever form the social subsystem takes) is also a factor which means that there's an element of player skill to social situations. It also gives social focused characters something interesting to think about and engage with, obviously they always have role-playing but some players prefer to engage with the 'game' part.

>>48859010
Social combat mechanics take away the RP in RPG if you ask me.

Personally, I handle this kind of situation like this: Whenever a PC wants to persuade, intimidate or seduce a NPC, I let the player role-play the situation. Based on what the player said, I will give a bonus/penalty to his skill roll. This way, I keep the role-play part and players who want to create smooth-talkers can.

It let's the players who are inept or inexperienced play too.

But I wouldn't recommend it if everyone at the table needs it. Because then you're basically having storytime.

So, I'll kick it off with a question. Is there any good sources for Miami in Shadowrun? I've been considering setting a game there, if it is as beautifully 80s and neon as I hope it is.

What are the best "actual play" podcasts or videos of SR out there? Any edition counts.

I've seen Mirrorshades, wasn't that thrilled with it, but it was entertaining.

Cyberpirates! is the last time I remember anything with Miami specifically. Look up Caribbean League stuff for general background.

There's also this https://www.reddit.com/r/Shadowrun/comments/2g04zd/worldbuilder_wednesday_shadows_of_miami/

Bring an end to an era via either a golden age or violence. Preferably violence.

Time travel may be necessary, but if the period has already passed then the phylactery was destroyed, and if it's in the future then the Dark Lord doesn't have a phylactery yet.

>>48854592
Go to the future and wildly distort facts surrounding the period of his rule. Then use the resulting disturbance along the sympathetic link to paradox his ass into oblivion.

Just combine Iceland with inner city Baltimore and maybe some Australian fauna.

Don't we already have Hail and Kill? Needless to say it needs to be improved.

You are Brianna la Croix, increasingly professional adventurer, and you are in Lora's waiting room, the night (day? /Camp/, damnit, why is this still fucking with you?) before you're to begin your assault on the Cornucopia.

"I have good news and bad news," the angel says, once you've arrived.

"Hit me," you invite.

"The good news is, the Master needs more and more of my attention. The Lush is unlikely to field me as a weapon or agent, though he /has/ planned with this in mind," Lora tells you. "The bad news is that the Master is also actively attempting to prevent me from bringing you back. It's only a matter of time before I'll be constrained against doing such a thing."

You wince, but then nod. "I haven't relied on your power," you point out. "Living like I only get to die once has been good practice for that."

"Indeed," the angel agrees. "Also, you should know this ahead of time - if the Wyrm kills you, you're staying dead. It is in his nature."

"To destroy?" you ask, tilting your head.

"To change, with a powerful will," Lora corrects. "The Wyrm is very old, and has had a lot of time to hone that will. If he changes you from a living thing to a dead one, you'll stay changed."

"Thanks for the warning," you tell her, gratefully. "I'm guessing you can't really talk about the Lush or his defenses directly?"

"Not even a little," your friend agrees.

I wonder if the Lush thinks that he is going to die and be remembered why not play up to it? Lush and Brianna, 1v1, Final Destination.

You hang around just long enough for Nori and Hinata to appear- they seem in much better spirits.

“We passed! We did it, Tsuki-hime!” Hinata celebrates.

“Yeah, we did it. Even if I only answered one question.” Nori says, scratching the back of her head.

What? Wasn’t Ino supposed to help her….?
