I shouldn't be so down on it, Hero requires that sort of thing sometimes too. I'm thinking VPP's rather than something simple like growth or shrinking. But damn, that's still a lot of calcs.

Oh yes! Combined speeds for sure. I love a little mutually assured destruction. (When angles come into it I just rough it out. Near enough is good enough for super heroic work.) Well... that's some calculating right there. I mean, I guess you only do it once during character creation...

Oh man... I'm currently playing a Star Wars game. It's online with some old, old friends. I love hanging out with them. But the need to roll dice for every damn thing. Every. Damn. Thing. And the discussions that go on before the rolling. And, because is FFG Star Wars, there's all the...

I've always taken velocity to be the character's move, say 24 hexes for their Run.

I think "bozosity" has just become part of my vocabulary. Thanks @Autumnal

That's a good way to do it.

I'm afraid the only answer I can give is too general to be of much help: "the character recalls some useful info." Maybe you could translate that into a dice roll modifier for a relevant skill. "Oh, all these old Chubb safes use a triple tumbler." Or maybe you give a clue for a puzzle. Or...

I agree. I've been thinking about when to and when not to make rolls a lot lately. All for my homebrew HERO System that I'm muddling out. Fewer rolls is better. It's faster. It stops parts of the adventure being gated behind rolls. Yeah, but one of those minds is Derek.

Well, if you;re going to bring facts into it. You big spoil sport.

So it's linked to what a character may or may not have encountered in thier life?

I'm in 2 minds about this. A general knowledge skill can be handy for letting players know stuff their characters should know. But if the characters should know it, why not just tell them? Why roll? Especially if all the PCs have the skill, because then there's a good chance that one of them...

It's the day you start to look like a gnome.

Ah! But the old lady wasn't that sweet. At Halloween she only gave out carob covered raisins.

Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

Yeah. There's no doubt that any such attempt* would have to fight against Paranoia's existing game culture. I'd only try it with my current face to face group, none of whom have ever played it. In fact, I don'tthink any of them have ever heard of it. *which honestly, I doubt I'll ever actually...

Brindlewood Bay Brindlewood Bakeoff: Duck Cake Disaster.

Yeah, I think you're right. Horror is always hard to pull off. Add in the fac that it's Paranoia and it becomes a real big ask for any group. Ce la vie.

I've sometimes toyed with the idea of running a serious Paranoia game. Play all the tropes straight for horror.

Oh she is not popular here. Be very surprised if she's ever allowed back in the country.

Something like 90% of the Australian populaiton lives within an 100km of the coast. And most of that 90% live in 5 big cities. Note, that we have a population of about 26 million. So that's a couple of million people spread out across an area approximately equal to 2/3rds that of the...
