    Eclipse Phase Vehicles + setting and system questions

    A transhuman wearing a Sundiver, Reaper, Interceptor or any other shell with an appropriate mobility system should use Pilot the same way they would use Freerunning while wearing a more conventional morph or Flight for a winged morph.

    Eclipse Phase Vehicles + setting and system questions

    Pretty much anything you guys decide. I'd certainly put hte Back Wing from Gatecrashing as an Exotic. Same with the Sundiver and Passenger Baloon in Sunward. As for your other question. That really, truly depends on the GM. It's certainly possible, but it's also not likely to end well. Also...

    The Player Psychology of Fleeing Villains

    Now now, every villain fighting to the death like a crazy idiot is not inherent in a more collaborative fiction playstyle. My games have a goal of fun and a certain amount of shared narrative control and building/taking part in a story. Any opponent, and especially the villain will only fight...

    Experiencing grind? Well then you need the new handy dandy DOOR! (by Acme)

    I take it they haven't realized that being grappled and drowned in that pool is the number one way she goes out, huh? ;) I'm hoping for a better result in my game though, since the just engaged her and her minions.

    Tales of terrible tactics

    Its been close to a decade, but as I recall they elected to close the distace as fast as possible. The important part though, is they chose to charge a group three times their number who were armed with mschine pistols.

    Tales of terrible tactics

    The only real example that sticks in my mind was when I ran a GURPS OGRE game at a con years back, using one of the scenarios in the books that involved the PCs having to go acquire some powersuit components for their squad on the eve of a major push. They decide to steal them from the black...

    Multi-classing, yay or nay?

    While builds for fictional heroes are always a bit subjective... For my game of choice with the image I have in my mind of Conan: Cunning Barbarian Explorer with Acrobatics and Sneak as his Origin skills, perhaps picking up levels in Regent after tenth level. Probably I'd just stick with...

    Well, the last pile of loot my players got, randomly generated with throwing out stuff I didn't like and adding in the fixed loot and the bad guy's gear included: About 780 silver in various coins, weights, bags of dust, etc. 80 silver worth of scrap metal (goblin weapons and armor) Two gems. A...

    Changing gears mid-campaign?

    If you're wiling to adjust the encounters, Jade Regent starts off in Sandpoint and is a much more character oriented AP with the PCs escorting Ameiko over the Crown if the World and to Tian. It is set a few years after Runelords though, four if I remember right and assumes Tsuto is dead and...

    How is this rules intrusion? Random treasure is a longstanding element of RPGs, and the rules cover not using it. The rules even specify that the random tables are to be used as inspiration, and to throw out any roll that doesn't make sense. Adventurer's Luck is a good feat (heck, they're all...

    I don't find that combat is slowed by dice rolling in the game, although some might since most actions are resolved with an opposed roll. If you find that happening, see the above Rule of 10 (or whatever you want to call it). That might be a concern, but the best answer there is for those...

    Anyone Currently Playing Fantasycraft?

    It hasn't been much of an issue, which I will admit is because neither of my Mages are capable of casting Fireball and I don't have anyone with access to the Path of Fire. That said, a lot of those roles don't come up in play. The Spellcasting check, damage roll, and save for half will, and...

    I'm running two games of it at the moment, one of which is a conversion of Paizo's Rise of the Runelords. Unsurprisingly I see it discussed most on Crafty's boards. It's far, far easier to run then 3.5. The NPC system (and the NPC builder) and the sliding DC system make prep a breeze. I'd...

    Maps for play by post

    Well, let me try the more verbose fashion. I've actually come to prefer Inkscape with is a more fully featured drawing program, but it's a bit more complex. First, this assumes you have a Google account. If you have a gmail address, you do. Second, this assumes you already have a image file...

    Maps for play by post

    I would actually recommend Google Drawing over Sheets. Insert the map file (if you don't have a map file, that's another tutorial...) and then make up chits using the box tools. You can use the polygon tool for masking. The other tools are useful for templates or anything else you want to add...

    Whats so special about the Far Realm?

    One of the later Journals refers to the Dark Tapestry and the Dominion of the Black, with no real name for the entities that dwell in the spaces between the stars.
