So I've been toying with a scenario idea.

The pcs are Freelancers on Luna and get a job to recover some pre-fall tech from abandoned catacombs near the old Robotics Factory. They run afoul of some Mutant gangers, and end up finding this old chamber that looks like it's been sealed up since the fall.

At the center is a suspended animation chamber containing a qt android girl.

What do?

Sure you could turn her over to Cybertronic, but you've heard some stories about them. About people leaving their old lives, abandoning their families to join them for no apparent reason. In a word mind control.

Not to mention what the other Corps might do to possess a pristine, Pre-Fall AI.

Of course, if the Brotherhood finds out you may find Mortificators coming to kill her AND YOU.

Whatever you do, you'd better do it fast because she's already starting to act strange......

How is the modiphius game?

I'm running a campaign of it and I'm liking it a lot so far, but I'm not all that savvy about what makes good mechanics good, so I can only offer my subjective experiences.

Having not GMed a game since 2009 I found the 2d20 system of Mutant Chronicles very easy to get the hang of as the GM, I found the mechanics were presented and explained in a clear and easy to understand manner for the most part. Though a bit of an initial stumbling block for me was the Dark Symmetry economy, momentum, and Chronicle points. Though meta currency always did throw me in other games, I read their chapters and got over it and soon found them to be quite an enjoyable addition to the game. Excellent way to put the screws to the players with summoned reenforcements, corrupted gear, and inflicted dread and the palyers having ways to augment themselves to help against such things.

The abstract economy is kind of naff though, and in the other 2d20 rpgs coming out by modiphius it shows that MC was a testbed for the system. I'll be waiting to see what infinity does with its economy system and maybe adapting that for my games but until then I'll just have to bear with it all.

Tzeentch is the "incomprehensible weird ass sorcery and generally being a dick" guy

Tzeentch is what happens when you do triple the safe dosage of LSD and then watch Requiem for a Dream and Event Horizon before running through the woods ass-naked while a gigantic, lubed-up Persian man reads the Necronomicon backwards as he pursues you endlessly on a rainbow-colored moped. You eventually collapse, and the world around you throbs with color and vibrancy and shifting forms as the gigantic Persian man penetrates your skull with two eagle-faced dicks that talk and impregnates incomprehensible knowledge in your mind that is just seconds away from being understood if you could only FOCUS for five seconds on it.

Then you realize that everything you saw and experienced in your massive fugue state is real - more real than you could ever previously imagine. You've seen the face of God, and it's absolute madness beyond all understanding of sane and rational minds.

You can't go back to your old life now - and all you have to do to harness this incredible cosmic power and understand the way the REAL world works is to dive head-first into the abyss and pray you're smart enough to come out alive, let alone sane.

My brother described the "Bolt of Change" spell thusly: "It changes you...to dead"

That's pretty much what you expect from Tzeentch. He's the Lord of Change, and 95% of the time, change is bad. It's for that 5% of the time you develop beneficial superpowers that people choose to worship him. So in a way, devoting yourself to Tzeentch is a lot like gambling in Vegas.

Edgemaster. Advancing the plot, whether sandbox or full railroading, is direly underrated.

I just read the chatlog of a Roll20 game with memelords like B and my god, it was a miracle anything was accomplished. And that was a cartoony lighthearted game where they fit in quite well, not a serious campaign at all.

C is the worst.

>>47883985

I'll take A. I've played with several of these type and if they can actually do it well then that's fine.

C is tolerable, and in my experience these types can be drawn out of their shells if the GM focusses a plot on them.

B is a lolsorandum timewaster.

>>47883985
A. There's nothing wrong with grimdark edginess if it's played well. The biggest problem with broody loner characters is that they often don't cooperate with the party or story, but he's advancing the plot so it's fine.

Yes, Hazel was a great character.

Maybe your monk saw the strength and ferocity that animals have, and decided that he could learn more from nature than he ever could at his dojo.

See pic related.

Monk who uses Animal-themed martial arts. Crane Kick, Tiger Claw, Monkey's Palm, etc. all involve him morphing into the respective animal.

there are some books for pathfinder/dnd about making kingdoms. they have rules for making buildings and collecting taxes and stuff like that.

>>47881836
Nope because you are imagining both rpg and strategy wrong.

check the computer game called imperia to see how this would be

It would be like The Culture. You go on adventures and explore new places, meeting strange alien races and getting embroiled in intrigue and danger. Then at the end the GM reveals that everything you just did was meaningless and godlike AIs were solving all the real problems behind the scenes.

If they followed your preconceived notions about what chaos should be like, that would be pretty unchaotic, wouldn't it?

Torn between mourning the alleged loss of Hal and investigating Cicero's very good point about his trustworthiness, Rene and co. warp someplace they can properly prepare to storm into bandit territory with the hopes of coming out alive with their leader unscathed. Make sure young Sara (even though she's only a couple years younger than Rene...) is properly equipped for the battles ahead. By now, they're certain, however Methodius' siege of the castle ultimately played out, it's long over by now.

Receiving reports of a boat matching Adam's memory of Alfred's old smuggling vessel, docked on a small isle housing an impressive manor, Samson's group took a brief detour to the island home of the late Director Waldrick. If the appropriated infamously-fast ship was truly there, Adam reasons, it will more than make up for lost time with how much faster it is than even Adelais' flagship. Not that he doesn't trust Adelais to keep her own minions in line, but he's certain to emphasize to them that they are NOT here to rob the place, merely collect a boat that belonged to Adam's old crew to begin with and move on.

Several days earlier, Dyrus and the rest of his mother's now-royal army were storming every gate possible of Methodius' castle, all in the hopes that what they were doing would result in Methodius having zero chance of escape. As they push further into the castle, they grow wary of how few Deadlords have shown themselves, growing ever more certain that Methodius is keeping his most able undead allies to his own side. Dyrus is still caught off-guard by recent familial revelations, but hardly enough to distract at this key moment!

Dyrus' group, storming the front door, consists of himself, Via, Laurise, Darren, Fortune, Doran, and Felix, alongside a few of Fortune's men. Flying units storming the castle from higher points and others just taking different entrances to the fortress.

You take over as Dyrus as he fends his way through a sea of bonewalkers, watching over his grandfather to make sure he doesn't die.

As you begin to grow suspicious with how, besides some dracozombies dispatched right at the front gates, your doubts are sated by the arrival of further champions.

You recognize the fell form of Director Cato, even as pale and lifeless as it is beneath her cloaks, and a Sage wielding Arcfire approaches in front of her. Canis and Ovis, you would respectively discover them to be called in time.

They waste no time obstructing your paths, and your mages in turn waste no time readying their own spells, Laurise her trademark Dime Thunder and Felix his Aura. Fortune draws her Devil Sword, and Doran and Via point their respective Steel Bow and Silver Knives towards the various approaching monsters, Darren lifting up his Silver Axe. As for you...

>A. Make sure grandpa doesn't try anything heroic again
>B. Keep the little guys off of them
>C. Attack one of them yourself! (specify who/what weapon)
>D. Write-in action
>E. Just watch what happens

(as a reminder, Dyrus currently has his Royal Axe, which is a Wolf Beil clone, a Hand Axe, a Hammer, and a Heal staff)
