We dove into magic use in today's session and I have some questions. The player with the caster is dynamic and clever, and I am not worried about using magic or clever mundane gear to circumvent challenges. But, I am running the game as a test/sample to get the group to try non-d20 stuff and...

We had our second game session tonight. The Overwatch, Suppressive Fire, and Crossfire rules came into play. It took a bit to get used to adding/removing dice rather than flat modifiers but by the end of the night everyone got it. The last enemies in the adventure were a pack of six zombies...

Thanks for the advice. We ran the first session tonight, with an earlier one for character generation. An unfortunate experience with a vehicle trapped by a higher-grade enemy hit half the party for 15 damage. That was an early wake up about Health and Soak that may make them more cautious that...

We are about to start a WOIN game inspired by the Hellboy and BPRD comics, so anything goes for character generation, but if it is supernatural the PC is the only example of the type. So, there can be only one fish-man, pyrokineticist, man-sized homunculus construct, etc... Each PC is making two...

Morrus, I was thinking of using the methods for modify spells for psychic powers. Easl, yes, that is a good approach. That is a good power!

Thanks, that is good to know. If I wanted to allow modifying psychic powers like the Magic system, do you have any thoughts on cost since characters have more PP per Psi Attribute than MP per Magic Attribute? Maybe 3x the MP modifier cost to a spell to change a Psionic Power would be simple to...

Thanks!

Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for! "Remember, the maximum dice pool limit applies to the initial attribute + skills + equipment dice pool. Positions, exploits, and LUC can all exceed that limit once it has been formed."

Is there no Power Point cost for using psionic career psychic exploits? Do Battlepsyches (pg. 35) not have to pay for Electrokinetic Blast if they use their career exploit rather than buying the universal exploit version? Say I am playing a Star Knight and want to push a few Battle Mechs...

It seems like the Maximum Dice Pool (Ability + Skill + Equipment) is limited to Grade before circumstances, but is that the case? If I am Grade 5 and have Agility (3d6) and Pistols (3d6) can I Aim (+1d6) and then increase damage (-2d6) for 5d6 to hit? Or do I need to form my MDP (5d6) first and...

I was looking for the facing rule in the core books and can't seem to find it. There is a note about facing for Dragon's tail attack on page 140 of OLD, and how you might be attacked from the rear. Would it count as the sneaking/target unaware modifier or is that more severe than a rear attack...

Thanks for the quick reply. That is what I thought after seeing the magic career discounts, but I wasn't sure if I was missing something in the reference document. It looks good so far. I am interested in seeing how it develops.

How does one learn Chi techniques? Are these chosen as Universal Exploits, can they be taken in lieu of a normal career Exploit, or do they come from another mechanism? If you learn a Stance with a 1-pt Chi cost discount for being an associated style stance, is the minimum cost 1 or can they be...

I bought After Zombies a week ago and it looks great. It runs a lot like Call of Cthulhu with modifiers for perks and flaws. There is an action economy to throttle attack and damage. I haven't run it but it looks worth the price.

Thanks, that makes sense. We were wondering what the down side would be for the double duration of the MAT careers when they start as only one year. My group is looking at the material for a change of pace from the various d20 editions. It looks promising!

I have a question about the Martial Arts Traditions during character generation. The text says "Martial arts careers are available in all eras. These careers all have the unique ability that they can be taken simultaneously with non-martial arts careers by doubling the length of the martial...

"Should a character with low BAB progression even try to bother with combat, or will they just be left in the dust?" The game is designed for the moderate BAB (+7 over 10 levels) as the baseline, with only three of the 24 classes getting the Fighter BAB. And looking at the 10-level classes and...

Right. For me, the JJA series is the Alternate Universe and the EU is the real Star Wars. There is great content there that I seriously doubt will be matched by the new movies. Star Wars canon is like GURPS. The challenge is deciding which elements to use. I wouldn't try to use everything. I...

Please share it! I am thinking of doing a similar very-light TF one shot.
