    NEW & OLD Playtest Campaign: Dirty Deeds in Space

    Thanks! :) I'm glad that it's useful, I love the mechanics of the system so being able to give useful feedback is really cool :) EDIT: Also keep in mind that it was the cheapest armor I bought a unique version of :P

    NEW & OLD Playtest Campaign: Dirty Deeds in Space

    I'm playing a smallfolk, so I have a pretty high natural bonus, which I combine with a energy shield and a unique quality synthetic weave bringing me to an amazing 30/34 defense (depending on whether or not the shield is active), and a SOAK of 12. I have 19 HP, but only due to a really lucky...

    NEW & OLD Playtest Campaign: Dirty Deeds in Space

    I think there's something cool in playing a character you know is screwed at the first sign of combat, and removing the option to play that would be a loss for the system. Wilfred is only really having a chance at combat due to his high-tech gear ^^ but more universal exploits that let's you do...

    N.E.W. Character Creation Book [Feb 2015]

    How does experience work now? especially considering careers.

    Brainstorming DEFENSE

    I don't like the idea about static defense, it eliminates the ability to make a very defense focused character, but on the other hand defense easily gets really high with heavy armor. maybe increase penalties on armor to reduce soak, or defense? Assuming the END dice + AGI dice * 3 for defense...

    Brainstorming DEFENSE

    what do you think about base 10 (which I think is the DC to hit anything at a distance that doesn't try to move) and then + agi + acrobatics? examples: My current character would be: Android scout, 1500 xp spent, AGI 8, def 18, with medium shield 22, HQ Kevlar vest for 7 SOAK. Home brewed...

    Brainstorming DEFENSE

    How lethal do you want the game to be? I think that's the question we should ask here. Is the thought of combat alone supposed to make players shake their legs, or should they be able to go into combat guns blazing, and expect to come out on top? a middle field?

    Brainstorming DEFENSE

    First of: I don't like the idea of making ranged attacks INT only. Using only Intuition is sort of like saying that you only hit with your gun, bow or whatever because you were lucky, and not skilled. Second: I think the pooling of dice (2 sets of dice x 3) would probably work fine, if you add...

    NEW & OLD Playtest Campaign: Dirty Deeds in Space

    Look what I found at home, my custom race!: Kalendarian (the name is bullocks, feel free to change it) age limit: up to 1000 earth-years or so (based on asari from mass effect, but not limited to "female" only) Stats: INT +1, WIL +1, CHA +1, PSI +1 Skills: Telekinesis, Insight...

    NEW & OLD Playtest Campaign: Dirty Deeds in Space

    Got some custom stuff I made for my character (Bora). It's not completely done yet, so any input is welcome :) for now it's a species career made specially for a custom race I play, but I don't have the document at the moment, as I'm on christmas vacation, so the details for that will have to...

    Session Notes and System Thoughts: N.E.W. Playtest August

    There was some idea/concept we discuss that I was supposed to explain, but I can't remember what right now. As for my feelings on the system: I love it! But we did run into a fair few problems during our game, and I feel our meager 2 combats aren't really representative for the system as a...

    Session Notes and System Thoughts: N.E.W. Playtest August

    I think rather than a penalty for one handing a rifle, it should occur for using too small weapons - say my large android tries to use a size small pistol, it would be like wielding a toy pistol meant for a five or 10 year-old. so maybe a 1 or 2 d6 penalty for every 2 sizes it's smaller than...

    Also means that M.A.X. I can go full on terminator with a shotgun, if he so wishes :P

    Session Notes and System Thoughts: N.E.W. Playtest August

    What's the difference between intuition the stat, and intuition the skill? does the skill simple just add to the stat, or are they separate things and why?

    Session Notes and System Thoughts: N.E.W. Playtest August

    Btw Morrus, how does one-handed/two-handed and oversizing work with ranged weapons and character sizes? Example: I have a standard rifle on my large android, can I one hand it? And can I oversize it according to melee oversizing rules? There doesn't seem to be rules for that, for ranged weapons.
