    Friday Chat: What Mechanics Do You Steal From A Game To Use In Another?

    Well, mostly its the general idea. For PF1 hero points allow a reroll, or adjustment to a roll, or to act out of turn, etc.. So, if taking it to another RPG I need to figure out what that translates to. In Traveller 'goose 2E, we use effect of the dice roll to determine degrees of success. Ill...

    Friday Chat: What Mechanics Do You Steal From A Game To Use In Another?

    I like hero points or some type of limited meta-currency resource pool. I like PF1, so you can guess my games get swingy, but I like the players having some chance to act against a swing, particularly if they get shellacked by something they had no real chance to impact with their own decisions...

    Heads shots pretty rare yet satisfying for us. We make lucky shots less destructive by using the floating critical rule from TacOps. The leaked playtest indicates they want to make the rule standard.

    This one comes up a lot. From a single force for an afternoon of BT fun, case in XL engine mech seems like nipples on breastplate. Though, from a campaign and narrative point it makes sense. The only way to destroy beyond repair a mech is to core the CT. A mech can lose a torso and go down but...

    Play test report 1. We had 12 players broke into two games. I’ll start with ammo explosions cause it’s easier. We didn’t see much difference at all. Mechs lost torsos or died. I’m still on my initial thought the damage needs to be even lower for this to matter. Side torso change has some...

    Targeting computers let you make called shots but it ain’t easy.

    My thoughts too. Its not so much the side charts when applying weapon damage that slows things down, its typically when a mech is falling. The shear number of things you have to work through for completing a fall is pretty onerous for newer players. Again, I think that granularity is what sets...

    After you add the second egg, you proceed to dump it into the trash. Then, head to the store for the following; Sugar Salt butter Whole wheat flour Real corn meal buttermilk eggs (in addition to the ones you just wasted) baking powder (not soda) Honey Ear of sweet corn (regular if out of...

    Hit points as luck

    I've used luck in DCC which you can burn for HP and other effects. It can be pretty interesting in a wide variety of ways. Especially, in games without any success/failure by degrees interpretations. Players have to manage it like any of their PCs daily resources. For some, its a little too...

    When folks say chocolate gravy, do they just mean a milk chocolate drizzle, or like a meat grease with rue gravy that has chocolate in it?

    It's true, cornbread is all over the place. Most just use that Jiffy cornmeal mix. I swear its just floor sweepings after the real corn has been packaged.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Up here in yankee country it’s hard to get gravy that isn’t packet made and white as fresh snow. So, you know it isn’t any good. It shocks me how many places go the shortcut route when a good gravy is only a few simple ingredients any restaurant should have at the ready…
