You were all prisoners. You were able to get your freedom and/or escape the headman's axe, but you had to enter endentured service as professional badass, Night's Watch style.

All of these could work with cooperative players but will instantly fall apart if the players don't agree to have a reason to work together.

>>54209405
Cool concept.
>in order to tell the difference between one that gives good dreams and one that gives bad, you need to look at it's organs.
Either that, or you need a -- willing or unwilling -- guinea pig. Depending on how valuable these things are, you could pay test subjects. Or bribe junkies and drunks with drugs and alcohol. Or you could just kidnap homeless people. If you just went with ones who already have mental health issues, you could return them to the streets even if shit went bad (because even if they become stark-raving mad, anybody who paid them the slightest attention would assume that their condition had naturally gotten worse).

It's rumored that to achieve true enlightenment (and possibly gain strange powers), you must sleep between the opposing varieties of skulls, but only the strong of mind can withstand the stress of doing so.

Perhaps using more skulls heightens the effect, and that a dozen skulls arranged in the proper pattern can act as an antenna, broadcasting over a much larger area.

Can these deer be farmed? If so, you could spend an entire plotline tracking, capturing, and transporting a breeding stock through hazardous, monster filled wilderness.

You didn't need to buy them to figure that out, most places let you borrow some for a test game.

It's a lot harder when you put them together upside down.

I've run these before, and so any questions ask away. It's best with 4-6 players, but can work with just 3 plus me.
I ran one a few weeks ago, then my computer derped, so this is me being back.

To give an example of what those three traits mean here is an example you might be familiar with
Sol System
Tech -1: Atomic Age. Power can be generated in a number of ways, including from atomic energy, but it's not limitless. The solar system is starting to be explored, but it's resources can't be tapped yet.
Habitat: +1. One garden World and several hostile worlds. Earth is the garden world, with Mars, Venus, and some of the outer moons having atmosphere and gravity but still hostile to human habitation.

Resources: +1. Atomic fuel, heavy metals, and such are available on many planets, and the asteroid belts and moons provide mining opportunities.

I'm going to slightly alter how Tech -1 and Tech 0 work for this run.

Also Diaspora general if anyone actually read or played that game system.

Posting some good looking examples

Doesn't stop it from chafing.

Because you got spells that does enough for protection. Why wear something that takes minutes get ready in with assistance needed, requires regular maintenance, and noisy when you can cast 6 second cast spell?

>>54206667
True enough but couldn't a cleric help you out with that by using a small heal?

>>54206533

No, I'd kill him in his sleep. Why the hell would you trust someone who's betrayed you before?

>>54206533
You might need to treat it like that pc died. Have him leave and never return again and have the player roll up a newer more loyal character.

>>54206533
Sure. Guilt, a search for redemption, penance, revenge, all of these things are great motivations for a character. But you certainly need the right sort of group and the right GM to be able to address these without it seeming like a children's cartoon antihero.

You also need a story with a credible enough threat that helps to convince the rest of the party that may not be so willing, that it is in the common interest to have him join, since his relationship is effectively void. Common ways to accent this are entrust the character with something important to the plot, so that he can offer it as a gesture of good intention to the others, or to put himself at least as much of an inconvenience as he put on others, as a nod to fairness/justice (in your case, since he almost got you killed, he may have to put himself into some real harm's way).

Loyalty is something built over time through trust and familiarity. Trust will come in time if the rest of the group roleplay together, which leads to the loyalty. Naturally, they can claim trust through subconscious actions, supporting each other in combat or just adventuring together. The difficult part to portray with a group though is the familiarity, because it relies on getting character development, which takes time in game, and thus can get drawn out over several sessions, unless you are doing a montage summary.

BL authors are shit, Gaunt is a boring character, Primaris are shit, End Times for 40k in 2020, enjoy your cancer. Go fuck yourself.

Because it's fun.

Nothing, it works well as is, including hex maps.
What do you think is wrong with it?

>>54206388
Beat me to it - I used to play it on a huge hex map with 1/144 scale models - the old 'Not Robotech' plastic kits from Japan.

Not OP but I have been adapting the Core and Plus to represent an Armored Core RPG.

What I used was to lower the tiers of mech from 11 (SL to MH) to just 5 (Super Light, Light, Medium, Heavy, and Super Heavy). I have some companies only make certain tiers, weapon types, and better than others in certain aspects. That and synergy bonuses for having X amount of parts from a company or parent company, such as reduced cost, more Hull Points, less total weight, etc.
