NC Game Day VII - April 23!

[Rel]

There's a BEER for that??!!? I knew my wife and I were doing something wrong...

For those of you not in the know, this is a Monty Python reference:

"American Beer is like making love in a canoe."

"Oh?"

"It's F-ing close to water!"

I've heard that one before! But then our whole concom (except for me) are monty python fans. I know our "Illustrious Con Manager" uses that on a frequent basis......

1) Do you have or can you borrow a copy of Grim Tales (I know Henry just got his)?

2) Do you have or can you borrow a copy of BCCS?

3) Do you have a real strong preference on the "type" of PC you play (strong, fast, tough, smart, dedicated, charismatic)?

I have GT, as you know, and do NOT have Black Company. I will be happy to play a spellcaster if no others are willing (system looks simple enough online), and will be just as happy to play a non-caster if any others are familiar with Black Company RPG.

I have no strong preference, though dedicated is not my thing (not particularly headstrong or wise IRL, and so roleplay also tends to fall a little flat. ) If playing a non-spellcaster, fast & strong or fast & tough would fit the bill for me.

Is this clearly obfuscatory enough?

Henry,

If you want a preview of the big offensive caster for the IIB Team, check out this thread:

Thanks for your other comments...the system is not hard, but does have a lot of variables. If you think you are up for it and feeling creative, I will pencil you in for S. Antonius Bellicus !

[der_kluge]

Thanks for those. I'll check those out.

No, I guess my wife isn't planning on coming down with me after all. I'm still planning on being there, though.

"Fightin' Tony", eh? I looked him over - sounds good! Nothing like learning a system better than using it.

 

[Belen]

1) Very doubtful.
2) Very doubtful.
3) Given your PS, I'd love the chance to play Brandis Tollhart again, what with his "mighty sword of justice" (He'll fling it at ya! That's how confident he is!).

I have a copy of Grim Tales that you can borrow if you need it.

I have a copy of Grim Tales that you can borrow if you need it.

That would be great. Is it something that I'll likely need to read through for a couple days or just reference at the Game Day?

 

[Henry]

Grim Tales is heavily based on two games in particular - Spycraft, and d20 Modern. Think of it more as a heavily house-ruled d20 Modern than anything. IOW, the core mechanics are the same (strong/smart/fast etc. classes, action points, feats & talents), but the specifics on certain things might be a bit different. examples: You get about as many action dice as modern, but the die size goes up by level, and (optional rule) explodes; all classes are carried to 20 levels; the advanced classes are eliminated and their abilities folded into feats and talents; various D&D class abilities are folded into feats and talents; that kind of thing. There are no rules that I see that would require puzzlign through except for spellcasting, and if you don't play a spellcaster that's moot. Even so, it's still moot, because OO's using a modified system anyway.

Just like in Modern, it comes down to "get familiar with your feats and talents."

I would look over the classes, but it is farily easy to just reference the material. As Henry said, it is really close to d20 Modern. I will bring it to dinner on Friday if you like? GT is not bad and I may use it one day if I ever run a Modern campaign, but I have not cracked it open since I bought it.
