My notes on the quest I'm making are 1/3 of the way done, so yes.

Or wait, I think this thing might be handy.

That's one damn fine OP.

From previous thread since my ISP was blocked and I couldn't answer:

Things I would love to see for Fisk:
- A reprint of Cockroach balanced for ANR.
- A card that makes you gain a credit when your turn ends for each card in HQ above three (would probably have to be unique?).
- Cards with effects that would trigger the first time each turn the corp draws, mandatory draw excepted could be cool.

I like anon's idea of a card that would force the corp to discard to hand size.

Oh, and to answer my question from previous OP: Surat City Grid + Brain Tapping Facility won't in all likelihood save Stronger Together, but it's damn fine to play.

She doesn't care for it, we have different hobbies and while we enjoy some together we're perfectly fine with some time without each other.

>>46553552
That show was excellent.

Your topic isn't.

Considering the state of this thread, you should really know better than to expect anyone here to even know a girl.

I've never really had a problem with other players.

I have had the misfortune of knowing several. Let us begin shall we. For purposes of privacy names will be changed.

Elsa: I have had the wonderful luck of knowing her for going on Six Years. She's only in the group cause the GM is terrified she'll actually kill herself if she's kicked fromt he group. Never EVER pays attention to whats going on. Will constantly DEMAND recaps of what she missed while she was grabbing a smoke or hitting the can. Infuriated when we tell her 'nothing' when it's just the group idly bullshitting about Daisy Ridley in a Leia costume. Has to over sex every character she ever plays, (she's not that good looking so she tries to live vicariously through her characters) Which normally isn't an annoyance. But it gets worked into every fucking conversation topic. The Phrase "Heaving, Undulating Bosoms" has been said out of her mouth more times than I would ever think possible for an alleged Feminist. From November 2013 to about Summer of 2015. She tried to hamfist Elsa from Frozen as her character into every single goddamned game we played. No matter how bad it fit or not. Superheroes, Elsa Ardenelle. Shadowrun, Hermetic Mage specializing solely in Ice Magic also named Elsa Ardenelle. STAR WARS wasn't even safe from this insanity. Her characters can never ever not be in a loving committed relationship with another PC, NPC's don't count for her.

Fucking hates any other girl that shows up, aside from the sister of the That Guy she likes, note he doesn't like her like that, but he is willing to keep her on the sideline just in case he strikes out yet again with the other chicks in the group. Becomes enraged when reminded that her character cannot do X action cause she's never learned it. I mean what assassin trained super sexy orphan with daddy issues and a compulsion to gobble every cock she sees wouldn't know Quantum Physics, Occult Lore, Rocket Engineering and Antiquated Ballroom dancing styles from Imperialist Russia.

You get out one of your few torches. You look at it, realizing that you've had this since you /entered/ the Dungeon, and chuckle a little.

"Something up?" Amy asks.

"I brought torches and never used them," you tell her. "I have no idea why I still have these."

Nathan coughs and produces one of his own with a sheepish expression. "Why torches?"

"You know that thing where I tell you not to rush in blind and instead have a cunning plan of attack?" you ask.

"Yeah?"

"Fuck that. We're gonna creep close, then rush 'em like they owe us money. When we spot them, light the torches and hold 'em high for Kat. Hit 'em before they know what's going on."

Amy and Nate share identically vicious grins. They /like/ this plan.

"Loud battlecries?" Nathan asks, teasingly.

"Shake the walls, handsome."

Diving Shadow takes up the rear - these tunnels are not suited her diving attacks - with Nathan and Amy at the front. The four of you creep as quietly as you dare, and soon the sound of tools on stone and steel fills the air.

The draugs are gathered around a reinforced door, chipping away at its stone frame with hammers, picks, and chisels.

You and Nathan share a nod and spark your torches. The oily rags wrapped around their heads ignite easily.

"HO LA, SONS OF SORROW!"

Amy hurls Blame and rushes into the fray beside Nathan. The Hero holds his torch in one hand and Banquet in the other. One draug turns just in time to catch the shield upside its frozen jaw - bone splinters, spraying teeth over the floor - and the others leap back from the flame.

"Kill," you instruct Kat. The shadow's fingers stretch into wicked claws, and she leaps into the fray, dancing in the light from the torches and Blame's explosions. Tenebrous claws slice into joints, ripping at dead flesh with terrible ferocity.

You stride steadily forward, cane in one hand. One of the draugs rushes you, trying to escape, and you crack the oak against its skull. While the dead thing reels, you slam a palm full of silver into its flesh and mutter a stream of curses. The poor wretch's ghost blows from its body and towards the Sunless Lands, with a grateful look in its dead eyes.

Above the din of battle, a dead voice: "I surrender!"

Your eyes catch a draug near the edge of the fray, hitting its knees and casting down its tools while Amy and Nate finish off the last of its confederates.

> Spare it
> Ignore it; see what Amy and Nate do
> Order Kat to kill it
> Write-in?

Well this thread is about as dead as can be. I know this game isn't any fun but people actually play it, right?

Eh, good riddance. DGI is just in it for the money and were just a bunch of shitty tourneyfags. Hopefully Muse shortly follows suit

>>46508957
I attacked and was killed by a gazebo.

Well I've seen adult men throw tantrums. That was pretty embarrassing to be anywhere near

>>46508957
I wasn't able to RP anything convincingly but drunk people for like a year.

Just a quick question.

In the HERO system (sorry, its the only superhero system I know), there is a power called Absorption. This power allows the user to absorb damage taken and convert it into points for other powers, thus you could punch someone and they would channel some or all of that damage into their strength. The important thing here is that like in D&D, all damage is the same, so 1d6 damage will inflict 1d6 Body/Stun damage (HERO's hit points) which means that all characters will absorb damage by the same amount.

I have a homebrew system which handles damage slightly different. Everyone has a Body Type and every weapon inflicts damage points. However the amount of damage points needed to inflict wounds depends on the Body Type. For example, a human with an Average Body Type takes 4 points of damage - this is a Serious wound. A creature with a Tough Body Type taking 4 points of damage will only take a Trivial wound.

Still with me?

So, if I want to use Absorption for my homebrew would I base the amount of absorption on the damage points of the attack (thus remaining constant for everyone), or the actual wound inflicted (thus making it harder for tougher creatures to absorb)?

If that makes sense, what are your thoughts?
Thanks!

>>46503367
Consistency is key. Base it off the damage of the attack and you won't need to use a table and players will thank you for it.

>>46503548
Cool, kind of what I was thinking and you're absolutely right about consistency.
Thanks!

>>46495395
Pretty happy with it to be honest, flexible enough to give you the room to do what you want but with enough guidelines that different identities are comparable. I like especially how it encourages interaction with shock gauges as a method of resolving conflict rather than just going straight to the usual well of "Faceshooter: The Man Who Shoots Faces".

>>46495859
Did you run a 3rd edition game? I'm still wondering how the new edition plays.

>>46496663
My group has been gearing up for one. It's going to end up being delayed by coursework though so we haven't gotten much further than character generation and some preludes. On that subject the books could really benefit from example/group templates to flesh out the way it all fits together and to provide options for people who aren't up to going all in their first time around, like the 'create your group' sections in the last edition.

lots of small shabby huts with lonely people sequestered behind drawn blinds. the streets are empty but eyes and lips can be seen peeking through the slatted windows looking for something they've never known and bitterly mocking the pathetic state of their neighbors.

a fucking mess

The [s4s] nation is a twisted, ever-shifting place, whose residents are stricken with the strangest form of madness ever seen. None from the outside can ever comprehend it, but it seems to be the only place in the world where the people are actually happy.

Good > Willing to sacrifice your well-being in the interests of unknown others.
>E.G. Reviving the dead-by-accident to allow one last goodbye and allow closure. Allowing the dying to be reanimated as a protector for his or her family free of charge.

Evil > Willing to sacrifice unknown others' well-beings in your self-interest.
> Undead armies, using the souls of others to fuel rituals, Torturing a soul in undeath for information or as bait directed at someone else.

Neutral > Unwilling to sacrifice one way or another.

Necromancy is neutral, what you do with it is what's important.

>>46649874
4chan will probably come down on the 'its evil' because either the energy it uses is fundamentally evil in some way or because all undead are in some way entrapping the soul of the being reanimated but like everything it ultimately depends on the setting. There a other ways to contextualize necromancy that makes it neutral or even good (if you think in terms of the dead coming willingly to aid the living like the Eldar in 40K)

IT DEPENDS ON THE SETTING!

If the setting says it's always evil, then it's always evil.
If it says it isn't always evil, then it isn't always evil.
If it doesn't say then it's up to the GM.
