Unknown Armies had a decent set of chase rules, although they were mostly for vehicular stuff, and were sorta loose/abstract as is the general style of the system.

Shadowrun also has Chase Combat, but once again that's vehicle based and it is clunky as fuck.

>>46685369
my advice if you want to run a chase scene, be it on foot or in vehicle, is keep the mechanics simple. The whole point is for it to be fast paced, moreso than normal combat, so do that. Run it as a minimalist normal combat with the addition of the occasional maneuver roll to gain on or lose foes. It honestly is mostly in the descriptions you make, not the rolls themselves.

>>46685369
You know, I never actually had a chase happen.

D&D 4e skill challenges are supposedly good for chases, but it never came up. Savage Worlds also has some chase rules, as does Strike!

What, specifically, are you hung up on?

> Is there an Auriga-encompassing Dust-network?
> The Enldess sure have lef a lot of junk on Auriga. What kind of mechanisms do the locals encounter often?

>>46695645

> Sure, the big states use Dust as an exchange medium. What about common folk? Do they use Dust as well, or do the various states use Dust-equivalent coins for small transactions?

Perhaps everyone uses some sort of command that causes Dust to congeal into convienient coins or at least small cubes?

I think it would be the best to treat Dust as the magical currency it is described as in the game. As far as I know the whole Endless thing and their machinery is a mystery to the common folks.

Pretty sure beholder pregnancies work like this.

Once in its lifetime, a beholder has an instinctive urge to gorge itself and patrols its territory with special ferocity, because in a few months, a womb/eggsac in the back of its mouth will swell up with young.

Eventually it gets so large that the beholder can't even eat or see out of its main eye, rendering it especially paranoid and pissed off.

Then, it bites the womb off, and watches it intently. The young inside chew their way out and try to flee before its parent can eat them (for not looking enough like itself, and also because it's starving).

And that's how new Beholders are made. I learned this and so the rest of you fuckers have to learn it too.

bump?

No-one's replying because nobody understands what this is; you need to explain it.

I assumed most people were aware of this game due to the recent hype. The rules are fairly simple.

>Setup
Begin by placing your two Builder pawns on the board. Your opponent then does the same.

>Playing the Game
Players take turns, starting with the player who first placed their Builders. During your turn, you must perform a Move Action, then a Build Action.

-Move Action - Move one of your Builders into an unoccupied Neighboring space (including diagonally). You may move your Builder on the same level, step up a maximum of one level, or step down any number of levels.

-Build Action - Place a block in an unoccupied space neighboring the Builder you moved during your Move Action. Builders cannot Build or Move on top of a Dome.

>You Instantly Win When...
one of your Builders steps up to the third level during your Move Action.

“See, Outer? The importance of the quest lies in the questing itself. It wouldn’t have felt half as satisfactory if I just blurted out the solution”
The Warrior is flashing his brightest smile, in front of a jug of beer roughly as big as his own head.

The Tavern is desolate as usual, there’s no one around besides you, the Warrior, the Priest, and the Innkeeper, who had just served the Warrior his drink.

“Look, I am all for ‘live and let live’, but it’s 8 am. Are you sure it’s a good moment to drink beer?”, you ask meekly.
“OF COURSH”, he answers without a second of hesitation. “Might very well be the last day of my life. You can never tell when the Grim Reaper will come for you, now can you? So it’s better to be safe than sorry”

“Well even if that is the case, I must correct you on something. I didn’t find the solution on my own. Sir As Dark As My Soul threw me a bone”
“Hm, that might certainly be so”, he says while nodding. “Yet you put the pieces of the puzzle together. That’s what my teacher used to say: observe, analyze, then act!”

Those words sound somewhat familiar to you, but you decide to brush it off.
“Right, right. So you will come this time, won’t you?”
“I guess I have to. After all, the pride of a warrior means nothing if he doesn’t keep his word”

>>46692829
You breathe a sigh of relief. The dude blocking the entrance is simply to big and too strong to be dealt with on your own.
“Good, let’s leave when you’re done with your beer”

“You mean right now”, the Warrior responds.
“No I mean…”
You have no time to finish the sentence.
The Warrior raised the beer jug above his head and is gulping it down in one swing.

After a few minutes, he slams it down and gasps for air.
“See… told you… we’re leaving now”
“That wasn’t necessary”
“Ah, pay him no mind, Outer”, the Priest says. “It’s a character trait of most Shounen archetypes, the lust of challenge.”

“I didn’t challenge him either”
“He felt challenged by the circumstances”
‘What a troublesome person’, you think, scratching your head

“Very well, so we’re heading out”, you say confidently, heading for the door. The Priest is following you shortly behind, while the Warrior is investigating his pockets for spare coins.

As soon as you open the door, you’re greeted by an unusual sight.
A barely dressed girl, with cat ears and a long, fluffy tail is sleeping in front of the inn.
You gaze at the creature with contempt.

“Huh, what should I do with this, Priest?”
You turn around to see him shrugging. Guess it’s up to you after all.

>Try to wake it up
>Ignore it
>Report it to the Innkeeper.

>>46692850
>>Ignore it
Filthy animal. Not even a Lizard girl, for gods sake.

>BBEG

I just call it the archvillain. Or just the villain.

Ah, fuck, you've gone and done it. Now we'll be stuck here listening to this shithead again.

>>46692932
Are you the guy hoping to sell these "us gamers lol" shirts?

>>46691521
I'm tired of constant shitty attempts to make things different, usually by way of making the races either stupid or a shallow stereotype of a historical society.

>>46691545
Totally agreed. I was hoping someone might have come up with some legitimately unique races that aren't just a caricature of a historical society or NotElves.

>>46691521
I just do humans and nothing else. I've never found non-human species to be necessary.

I'm the only player in my group who's had a good deal of non-videogame experience with the fantasy genre. I rip off scenes from books and movies they don't know anything about all the time.

I once inserted a massively powerful DMPC self-insert who could pull powers out of his ass to save the party at every opportunity. It's only later that they realized I stole from Literally every shonen manga ever produced ever.

>>46688118

The Orcs in my setting are suicidal followers of their Messianic figure and will gladly employ tactics like igniting themselves on fire or suicide charges/bombings against both military and civilian targets. They also employ chariots which they customize with spikes, skulls, bones and other paraphernalia. They're basically the Brotherhood of Nod with some War Boys mixed in.

The Sisters of Battle 90% use the same models of vehicles are marines.

I mean, the Immolator is a very slight variant of a space marine Vehicle and both the Repressor and Exorcist are built on the Predator Chassis.

>>46687238
Yeah. Why doesn't the imperial guard use the same?

>>46687245
guard vehicles are better than vehicles based on the rhinos chassis.

>>46675737
So, do we know anything about this Teralin? Any connection to the other missing persons?
Also, who's got controlling interests in that area of the camp?

>>46677101
Well Agent Roma, I had a look at the availabe information.

It appears Teralin is the relative of one of the UNSC higher ups. Here on some research project about mythos formation in displaced populations, interviewing the refuges mostly. War experience and stories. Other cases were youngsters, gangers, relief workers. Only connection is the geographic area.

As for who has controlling interest? Gangs, I think. Blackwaters. It was the UNSC, but that was years ago and by now the entire situation's quagmired into an unsolvable mess. It's less camp and more squatter shanty town. Well, towns. A hundred little isolated enclaves. They have good theater groups actually, newspapers. Running water and generators. Government and Chironan still do patrols and supply missions out there, and I think the Rehabiliation And Population Management Committee is working on some sort of work-pay deal to get people back on their feet? Resettlement. But that's been the rumor for the last two years.

I think prime responsibility *these* days is the Chironan Corporate Charity Fund. They've sort of stepped in and manage the entire thing as a pet project for PR. Even helped get proper sanitation going.

Well, looks like our recruitment pools needs a bit of buffering. Here's an updated look at the Resonance rules now that we're out of the testing phase.

Since there's no real interest tonight, we'll try this some other time.

These are our Heroes:
>Djibb the Zaurian: A muscular intelligent Dinosaur-man of the prehistoric era that evolved and reunited the rest of the members of his tribe with the intention of conquest. As he was raiding the first tribes and defining the very concept of war the Meteorite that killed the Dinosaurs.
-No armor but has a strong and resilient body. He isn’t bulletproof thought.
-Natural weapons like tail, claws and fangs.
-Can command Dinosaurs and to a lesser degree the rest of animals.
-Can breathe fire but only once every few hours.

>Selas the Golden Woman: A scholar of both the mind and the body from the forgotten era of Atlantis. Their people were enlightened but way too focused on the study of science to truly notice how things were developing around them. The Atlantean society became unable to prevent themselves from the Tidal Wave that was about to engulf their city-state and even if Selas tried to save thousands of people she became unable to save them all.
-Mithril Armor ( Similar to modern Titanium ) but no weapons with the exception of Telekinesis.
-It’s a learner and can imitate the combat style from the other combatants and also learn how to use external items by observing their use.


>The Centurion: A roman centurion who fiercely commanded his troops and tried to maintain peace on Pompeii when the Vesuvius volcano entered in eruption. He died as a hero since many people were saved thanks to him. He wasn’t going to participate originally but it was forcefully imposed by Hades. This hero is particular as he doesn’t fights along but with his squad.
-Centurion Armor, Scutum and Gladius. All in poor condition since he was dragged out of the underworld and his gear became damaged during the process.
-He along with his warriors is in a zombified state; he’s resilient to wounds that would incapacitate a normal human.
-His squad cannot die until he does, they can be incapacitated but they will rise once more after approximately 30 minutes.

>Lady Yernisia: Living the plague made her learn about medicine and donning a stolen Plague Doctor suit along with its mask to travel across the death ridden lands in the attempt of saving people. During her ways she saved lives but also killed dozens of bandits and sick people who were beyond salvation and posed a serious threat. On her last years of life she became struck with the Black Death and spent the last days studying and searching for a cure, just as she discovered it she perished and she along with her discoveries were burnt to prevent it from spreading.
-Leather robes and Plague Mask of high quality.
-Flintlock Pistol, Medical knife and Medical Equipment.
-Knows about the human body and thus where to strike. She can heal herself to some degree and create potions. She’s infected with the Black Plague but temporally immune due to the blessing of Ares, anybody who strikes her on melee might become infected.

>John McDonnell: A soldier of the US army stationed on Pearl Harbor during the infamous Japanese suicide attack. He wasn’t the one who saw the enemy first nor the one who got the first kill but he was considered worthy of Ares attention as he fought until the end and killed the most Japanese. At the end he died of his wounds mounted on an Anti-Air emplacement from which he shot down at least five enemy aircraft.
-Army fatigues. Offer almost no protection.
-M1 Garand, Bayonet Knife, M1911 Pistol and two hand Grenades.
-High training and physique but risks getting out of ammo.

>Unit 299931: The last of the Robots who died in the nuclear aftermath. He was chosen simply because somehow this unit managed to survive the nuclear blasts and the electromagnetic pulses that came afterward for an entire week.
-Very high armor and weapons: Duraluminium Body and Laser Carbine.
-By far the strongest combatant but he requires recharging his power cells from time to time, becoming completely exposed to damage.
-Only one who can use the futuristic technology.

The Battleground will be the destroyed Earth and parts of each hero’s time will appear from time to time, meaning that suddenly a T-Rex could spawn next to a Gothic Cathedral.

>Choose your hero!
>All DC will be best of 3d100 but in very hard moments like melee combat it will be average of 3.
>10 Minutes to vote.

>Anon, why do you still play in the Forgotten Realms setting?
I don't. Why should I?

Outside of convention games, I don't. Why would you assume that I do?

>>46691764
Because some locations are not fully fleshed out mary sue fests and it's really really not hard to go "drizzt's dead" or change any other aspect of flavor I don't like.

There's so much written on it I can fish the good from the bad and reflavor it as I need. Also I like some of the organizations.
