Editi's head herself pops onto your hud. "Well that's all the info we have and you'll most likely need. Command is giving you freedom to make sense of this odd situation. Just do what you do best, evac the civs, and come back in one piece. Good luck everyone."

At that her head just looks around. "Not much for optimizing your huds huh? To each their own."


There will also be a “take 10” system in effect for this mission. On non-stressful situations(if you can find them), you can automatically be 30 away from target, and roll a d20 to modify it closer to ‘target’. Taking 10 will make it easier to succeed in most cases(easy rolls will be pretty much impossible to fail even), but you cannot use it for dodging, attacking, while being attacked, or if the action would end up putting you through danger.

Basic actions (moving, communicating, observation) will all be success only, so basic actions will happen successfully almost always. There will be three major categories for non-basic actions, DEXY, COMBAT, and TECH. You can only perform ONE TYPE OF ADVANCED ACTION per turn. Rolling DEXY for dodge is NOT an 'advanced action' cost or use unless it is stated otherwise.

Basic actions include just moving around not caring about stealth, releasing out drones for activation, activating camouflage(not the stealth roll), using suit abilities such as bullrush or celerity, and reloading(Hah, who does that anymore...)

DEXY refers to actions such as melee or dodge rolls, and other checks towards maneuverability, agility, and so on. DEXY uses a 'closest to 1' roll on a D100.

COMBAT refers to the act of shooting ranged attacks (NOT melee attacks), plain and simple. COMBAT uses a 'closest to 100' roll on a D100.

TECH refers to anything else really, mostly it's using or fixing your suit's systems. Tech uses a 'closest to 50' roll on a D100.

So besides a highly respectable and classic magical realm, what is the draw of this? The characters would essentially be helpless, and it seems like restricting player action is what every other game tries to shy away from.

So I've gone and done a very basic character sheet. Originally I wanted everything to be on a single page - half the page is character sheet, the other half rules. However as I started jotting things down the situation changed. At the moment I'm thinking of putting everything the player needs to know on the back of the page and two sheets at the front.

For those out of the loop, read the OP. We've already formed some form of a consensus on the classes, attributes and skills.

The classes are - Action Girl (as the name implies), Rich Girl (the charismatic face of the party), Scoop Snoop (Lois Lane) and Bookworm (as the name implies).

Five attributes, which are described on the sheet - as well as the skill system (basically haggled with the GM or Damsel Mistress, as it is called).

So far we've got to stat the classes, figure out if we're using a 2d6 or a 3d6 system and we need to make a DM sheet as well.

About the fetishes - after we're done we should make an "Extended Rules" page with adds additional rules for cloth destruction, tieing up, etc.

Oh, and we don't have a combat sytem. So far we've had two suggestions - a typical HP system or dames are knocked out when they fail a fortitude roll. We also talked about a system of intimidation, where the players would be encouraged to surrender if the guards see them, rather then instantly going into combat (and vice versa).

>Senpai you have a lot of errors and it looks like shit

It's quickly put together, I don't care about these stuff at the moment.

I think the idea is that whoever captures the damsel is too stupid to actually tie her up/secure the facility correctly.

There might be a magical shield over all outside doors, but the damsel is not tied and her door has a hidden key.

Interesting idea overall.

“Brynden? Are you well?” Wesley asks, keeping his stride short to you side as you wander towards the Tower of the Sun.

You were not, your mind hadn’t ceased since the day prior, Dontos’ confessions echoed in your head, you were certain of many things, and yet none. And each and every half truth ate at your heart, it kept your senses at bay, You only knew singular focus, you wanted answers. You did not care of whom, the King, the Queen, Jon Arryn, the Spider, Royce Redward at swordpoint, didn’t matter. But you needed to put on a face, there was things expected of you, people to meet, ands to shake, so you put on your front, a face cold as the grave, emerald eyes more telling of a coming storm than the glimmer jewel.

“Yes Wesley, I am fine,” you respond, allowing a guard to get the door for the two of you, “It’s only my leg, just distracted.”

Your cousin seems discontent with the answer, he knew something worse was at work, but was as in the dark as you felt. He smiles in his way and attempts to pull a better mood from you with small words and talks of the initial ongoings of the peace talks. Prince Doran and Lord Arryn had been getting along well enough, their moments at court the day prior had been well received. Words of Prince Oberyn’s lack of appearance alongside his brother had taken root as well, worry that such indicated he was far away from his brother’s position on the subject. You thought otherwise at the moment, he seemed certain these talks were nothing more than a stunt, preordained. And it was odd, what purpose did winding all of Dorne into a frenzy serve? Prince Doran could have prevented it with a single word but it was allowed to come to this. So many questions you did not know the answer to.

Entering the private room you find Lady Giselle and Ser Grover waiting for yourself and Wesley, the latter looking annoyed by your tardiness, the former concerned by your limp.

Wesley and yourself bow, and you speak, “Ser Grover, Lady Giselle, my apologies for our lateness. I find myself taking a far longer time to travel about as of present, I hope you will forgive us.”

Ser Grover nods and his sister flushes with a blush as she speaks to you, “You are forgiven my Lord. We were told of your… Altercation. It is good to see you able to walk about at all still.”

Retracting your bow you seat yourself with a small degree of difficulty, Wesley helping you, before taking his own seat.

“A rather ill timed thing that Lord Malroy,” Grover adds after his sister is finished, a shooting glance of a look stopping his words partially.

“Hardly could have planned it better in truth,” you respond, “The Dornish have never been particular to my House, perhaps a long awaited karmic rebalance.”

“And yet they seem partial to you now my Lord, Lord Qorgyle and Ser Santagar seemed entertained by your words,” he responds.

“Simple introductions, our intentions are peace, no? Why not aid in such efforts,” you say, watching the servants bring in a simple lunch with a dornish flavor that you enjoyed quite thoroughly.

“Well thought my Lord. Ser Deron Dalt seems to be of the same mind,” Grover says, taking a cut from his meal and chewing it thoroughly, his sister shoots him another look, clearly unhappy with Ser Deron’s intentions.

If you remembered correctly Ser Deron was the Knight of Lemonwood, a widower with two young sons already. You were unsure if your word would change anything in this regard, undoubtedly the only thing that would change such were your own pursuits proper of the young Lady. Lord Arryn’s words echoed in your head, her worth was not in her House but of greater purpose. But still it left you unsure.

You idle away the meal, allowing Ser Wesley and Grover to chat of martial things, of the Melee you would be holding soon. Ser Grover is of the opinion that a Joust would be more honorable, while your cousin insists the core skill at arms of a Knight is far more important than is ability to ride his horse with a long stick aimed at another. You can’t help to laugh at this assessment. Lady Giselle gathers your attentions with her small looks and you begin to make your own back, enough to gain small giggles from her leaving her brother seemingly unaware.

“Lord Malroy, may I ask you something?” she asks suddenly, her brother’s attentions turned elsewhere.

“Of course Lady Giselle.”

“Why did you leave for Essos? They tell of your stories while there, yet no one knows your purpose for leaving.”

Ser Grover’s eyes have made their way back to you, he seemed just as curious of the question as his sister. Wesley’s mouth is slightly ajar, you had told him the reason before, a rare thing, but since he had grown close to your son it was likely to come out regardless. But that was an exceedingly private thing for those who were not aware, Victus being a bastard, not so much, but Lysa… She was.

>Make something up (Specify)

WTC cares more about collector than people who play this game /thread

>why doesnt WOTC to get more profit just print out some old sought after cards, but also make it look like they're the original sets?

Because that's killing the goose that lays the golden egg.

The black lotus being so expensive is like free advertisement. If anything, they'd rather buy up some of the black lotuses out there, so that the price of them would rise up.

They would have to kill everyone in the print shop to prevent the secret from leaking, but removal is too expensive these days.

“Ichigo's not gonna like that,” you predict. “But he's not going to be able to beat Byakuya... he couldn't even beat Renji at full power the way he is now.”

“So he takes a dive to Byakuya,” Yoruichi continues building off your prediction. “Enter Kisuke, stage left, promising a training regimen.”

That sounds like something Urahara would do. He's already shown some interest in Ichigo, probably because of the unique circumstances surrounding his conception. “And he doesn't come alone. He brings backup: probably Ishida, Yasutora, and Arisawa.”

“They stand any chance in hell?” Yoruichi asks. “You've seen their potential first hand, or am I misreading the situation?”

You think hard about Tatsuki's reiatsu, her technique, and her overall degree of experience. You consider Ishida's youthful stubbornness, and likely degree of training in the Quincy arts received from his grandfather. Yasutora's size and spiritual power are a factor for consideration as well.

“Nope,” you conclude. “They're pretty much screwed if they come here.”

“That's not good at all,” Yoruichi groans, rolling onto her side. “But at the same time they're the ones who can act with no consideration of the potential consequences, while we have rules and responsibilities that limit our decisions.”

“What a pain.”

Hi there, how are you guys? So far it hasnt been great, but lets hope it improves. Let's wait a little to see if one more person shows up

Korg: Your orcish blackguard, he is bound to your will. He wields a great hammer and cares for few things more than to use it in battle. A creature of simple pleasures and sins he is a destructive force on the battlefield and a cunning creature in planning.

Halivean: Known to you as Hal, he is your desert elf blackguard. Fanatically loyal to you and with some basic skill in necromancy and tactics he is a vital lieutenant to your forces. His agility is exceptional and his skill with a blade and bow is significant, but where he shines is leading undead into battle.

Karist: Dwarven runesmith and elder.

Spot: Gnoll rogue and boss.

Vlad the Kobold: Kobold leader.

Amythrien: Elven craftsman and elder.

Sheila: Human elder from your village.

Because why would I waste valuable soldiers and workers when I have you disposable humans to do the work for me.

Way I see it, the hive mind is endlessly hungry. The quicker they subvert a planet, the sooner they can move on to the next meal

Because they're interested in biomass which is effectively energy for them. Time wasted fighitng longer battles than necessary is a loss of biomass through energy expenditure and collections of their own fallen nids. Having the defenses underminded so they can eat a planet in a day earlier with planing of a smaller force that can already be there well in advance of the fleet is a profit.

The best scenario they nids want is a world to willing throw themselves into the reclamation pools with all non mobile life carried in their arms but they'll never get there.

Is this thread too unatractive?

Frostgrave does the Mordheim lost city except... frozen. Mordheim itself had some expansions: Karak Azgal was an abandoned Dwarven city underground, Lustria was obviously a New World continent, Khemri was all about tomb-robbing in the desert.

Helldorado is literally set in Hell, which humanity invaded sometimes during the Crusades in that universe. I think Malifaux has something similar, with adventurers travelling into a nightmarish other realm for fun and profit.

>>43541033
I also remember there was the Empire in Flames, which was obviously set in the Empire, like the outskirts and whatnot.

I think those are cool locations, but what about the settings behind them? What are the players? What's the motivation of the warbands?

I -think- that sees play in Death and Taxes. Legacy version at least.

Up until BFZ released, I would have said Crackling Doom. 2 to the face plus guaranteed death for their biggest threat? Very yes.

For Modern, I would say Obliterator. That quad-B cost makes for much difficulty in actually casting it, though.

Absolutely no fuckin question, the Ork'd win hands down.

In a naked fight? The marine. If we're talking an Ork BOY, at least. Bring in a Nob, and the Marine is going to get his asshole pulled out through his mouth. With just a boy, the edge in raw strength a boy might have is overcome by speed, skill, and bullshit like spitting acid.

>>43539909
tabletop or fluff powerlevels?

We can all agree that Ebony Warrior doesn't have a place in lore; he's purely a game-specific challenge put by the developers to incite players to keep leveling up, right?

upon translating the scrolls in Morrowind, does the words "The ninth barrier cannot exist!" relates to Talos or is it just purely an inside joke like "Where's the money in that?"
