Excellent game, aged really well too.

I have no experience with the system but rouge trader might work for you.

Years ago, there was a serious attempt at a Skies of Arcadia homebrew here on /tg/; I had a major hand in its development, including the one playtest of the system. This was the result, or at least as far as it got.

Rural traps are great for both capturing/killing game or humans. The Kaiu were never really as good at hunting as the Hiruma, but might have some study in what those nutters do. Abuse the duel and the GM has that one guy with a skill of fuck you, I win crush you like an ant. The world may never know.

I was implying literally dueling them to let you use engineering in game. It was a Crane joke. Because my image was a Crane.

>>48149618
Every time you roll against someone else's roll is a duel. It's just that the GM is making most of the rolls you are rolling against.

Dryad probably gives you splinters, T-Regina can't give a blow job, and Lady Death-Cap probably has some poisonous spores in her pubes.

Hey, thanks for the feedback!

>Brian Li Sung
Hrm. Upping costs I think is the best solution. Looks like it might be best to get rid of the untap ability.

>Hunter Rose
>This is just very good.
Well, thank you.
>Some kind of vampire or hunter image would be nice.
Not quite sure what this means though. I mean, it is a picture of Grendel, that's who the card is for.

>Witchblade
OK. Though I should probably look more at the character to get a better idea of what she should do anyway. Some of these characters are a bit difficult due to how there isn't as much info on them as there is on more popular characters.

>Dredd
Well, what do you think Dredd should do? I have another version kicking around that destroys tapped creatures. I still want him to have a strong White focus though. Because he still is, after all, THE LAW!!!

>Looks great :3 What comin is that?
It's Grendel again. Most of the story follows this guy, Hunter Rose, also known as Grendel, a notorious crimelord who controls nearly all gang activity in New York. He's incredibly gifted, mentally and physically. He's basically what Bruce Wayne would've become if he had chosen to be a criminal, though there are quite a few differences, and Grendel has a lot more to offer than other evil Batman clones (looking at you, Nemesis).

Hunter is eventually killed by his archnemesis, Argent, a Native American werewolf. After that, the story continues to the far future as it follows various others who take on the Grendel identity and how they use it through the centuries.

It's a pretty fun comic, very noir, very light on the superhero aspect. Grendel has a mask and... that's basically it. There's some other stuff too, like how Hunter and the others might actually be possessed by a demon that makes them insane and violent.

I'm making an RPG where the characters are part of a village in a post-black-plague fantasy zombie apocalypse with tons of weird undead out there.

I want to make mechanics that focus on the village with characters spending downtime and having Downtime abilities to improve the village.

Population basically functions as hit points for the village and each month there is a roll on the Fortune table to see what happens (Drought, raids, etc)

One thing I am trying to decide is whether to use boring old spell points, or to do an at-will / daily system for spellcasting. Spell points are nice but you have to remember different costs for different spells and you also have to erase and rewrite the number of points almost constantly.

The at-will / daily system would be basically you know X spells, the daily spells are shit like light and magic missile type of spells, as well as some slightly more powerful attack spells (obviously no healing since they can be done at will), and then daily spells can each be cast only once. You cannot double up on a daily spell. So if you cast a Fireball or a Time Stop, that'd be it for the day for that particular spell. Also a lot of the more powerful spells have downsides. Like the only kill spell in the game has a pretty significant chance of also killing the caster, and there is no resurrection.

Basically I am going for low fantasy with lots of resource management and stuff. Any advice? Yes I have read the Quiet Year I've got a 50 page work in progress game but I always appreciate ideas and feedback.

>>48153018
Maybe limit magic by logistics via reagents and ritual magic. Goats no longer give milk once you remove their hearts.

>>48153018
If low fantasy, definitely at-will/daily. Spell points makes magic more flexible and can be more common, which hurts the low fantasy feel.

I won't post the quests but I'll toss up the clan ideas I came up with so far.

The bone crushers

Chieftain: Bone dust

The bone crushers pride themselves on strength. They will hunt powerful enemies that they consider worthy opponents. Once the prey is dead the orc takes the bones and grinds them up and wears it into battle as it was warpaint. It is said that some of the strongest of the clan wears ground up dragon bone.

Anon pls, I was asking that question seriously.

>cyberpunk
>Japan
More oppressively corporate than American Cyberpunk. More escape into fantasy. More Yakuza-style honor pacts and "you have dishonored yourself," more insistence on tradition than you might see elsewhere especially if these traditions no longer apply or feel out-of-place.

1. Don't do it. Weebs are dicks when you try to emulate weeb culture and fail and they're gonna hold you to a high standard just because you're setting it in a setting they idolize.
2. Why the fuck aren't you asking this shit on /a/? They'll give you 80 different answers for one question and all will arguably be correct which shows you how much you're setting yourself up for failure.

Japan or not Cyberpunk is Cyberpunk

Japanese Megacorps may act prim and proper compared to the Robber Barons and Wall Street Wolves of the West, but a Megacorp is still a Megacorp. You don't get to be top dog by playing nice. Under their veneer of civility Japanese Megas are just as vicious and cut-throat as their Western counterparts.

A good early mission would be one where the PCs work as leg-breakers for a Loan Shark.

Mystic needs crafting taken away, ravenlord harbinger and zealot need to be beaten to death with the nerfbat.

deepsea products would be a good export. Rare fish and products from underwater creatures that are not otherwise available for surface dwellers. My PCs don't yet know that the base of the pudding so common in my setting was made from the waste excrement from sea cucumbers, but they will find out soon. Preferably after everyone has had at least one serving.

>>48150386
Pearls could be a good one. Pearl divers are already a thing in real life, but living down there would mean much easier access.

>>48152338

That and imagine what you could do in a fantasy setting. Maybe they maintain special oysters and feed them special sediment that turns into unique sorts of pearls for magic/alchemical uses.

The only reasons the humans can't do it is because the Merfolk can dive down to where they are situated at with ease and possibly have predators that will attack non merfolk.
