Has anyone actually checked with Palladium as to whether it's ok to distribute a character generator or has everyone just assumed from rumours that it's not ok? Checked. Long, bad history right back to the nighspawn law suit. 2nd that. I've had one for a while that we use at the table for 5-10 min ...

I have an inbox full of C&D letters from Alex and Kevin about the CCG I wanted to release. 2004-8ish? Can't remember when the conversation started. They don't want one, They've never wanted one. At one point I had hope and was contacted by Alex M, but they wanted me to pay this crazy IP cost and...

No, not really since the Bonus of damage is SDC by strict definition. However a bonus to the damage say a +1 to 3 or so would be fine and not game breaking. Might even if given a skill check allow to target vital cords or cables on mecha... As for Pis-swords and Psi-Daggers..no. since there not phy...

id say no, i dont think sharpening a stick should take a skill roll. its like making some one roll wilderness survival to set up a tent. I'm with Zamion.

I know the burst rules have been played to death... but I have a new twist and other than waving a GM hand of NO I can't find a way around this.

This has been covered a million times, but you're not dodging a bullet, you're dodging a shooter's ability to hit a target. Statistically ones chances to hit a target in combat or a high pressure situation are quite small even for experienced veterans. In a battlefield scenario it's much worse as s...

Think this is covered under Availability.

I use what I call "skill dueling". If they have some kind of enhancements I add penalties to the prowl. If they have a counter skill, like a dog boys sense of smell, I use the prowl as a penalty. Example: guy with prowl of 60% rolls a 30%, I apply a 30% penalty to the dog boys sense of sm...

Umm...

With an MDC tool this would be easy, no skills required, or lazer pen, etc.

Without one? Yes, it's not easy to do, skills required, Please everyone who doesn't believe me go out into the woods and make a Sharpened stick with your kitchen knife. Let me know how that turns out.

Nomadic

No,

On the same line of Topics, All starting Equ, Guns, Armor, et al for level 1 characters are items you wouldn't bother looting at level 6, Greys or Whites for the WoW players.

Check what it says under black market/availability. If it's common I allow, if not then no.

Nomadic

What do you think about the +1D6 damage from the fencing skill? Does it apply to MD weapons like vibro-blades or magic swords or a psi-sword? Normal PS damage bonus will not apply to MD weapons. This seems to me not to be a "strength" bonus, but more of an "accuracy from the skill&qu...

And as far as the name... call it Boomers. /poke /poke +1 for anyone who gets that.

I have a SQL database that will help for character creation.

OCC's, what they get where they get it, etc.

What are you coding in LUA? I can do the character backend creation.

Physics aren't as important as dramatic effect unless they're directly going to impact the story--and even then watching scientists wig out over the impossibility of what they just saw is always fun.

I go to the link, but all I get are advertisements and attempts to sell me crap... What is the secret to getting the file to download?

Yours was fan based, mine was based on making a movie myself and pitching it. Pouring money, no. But it was about a grand to make the trailer. You just described your problem right there 'Making the movie and pitching it'. You pitch first, sort out licensing and THEN you make it. They do books diff...

Usually cured by actually playing one for a while.

I guess you've missed the thread on the 14d6 x2 wielding cyber-knights.

Wouldn't play it myself. I like Pen and Paper RPGs because I am not bound by the barriers of the Programmers mind. To each their own.

you are entitled to your opinion, like ******** everyones got one.

but 1.45 Million a MONTH is a lot of cash for a company that is the size of PB. and Has Server Side cost of about 100k a month

Nomadic

Four years ago, we were approached by one company that expected us to foot the bill. Not what we're looking for. And similar. To put that into context, we are sometimes contacted by people who cannot do the quality work we and our fans are looking for. Alex Marciniszyn Wait, found it. 5 years ago y...

Ya or Na? Discuss.

I consider the Psi-Sword a melee weapon.
Works on TK-Weapons.

but not sure If I want to allow it.

Nomadic

Just looking at TK force field: The notes say that it has to be created on solid ground. Probably not effective against flyers then. The short ranges of his powers indicate that he'd be shot to heck long before he got close enough. the stealth aspect is pathetically unhelpful, and bots are going to...

I must be a tough GM. No, they don't get to regrow their limbs or organs unless it says so or their RCC has some crazy great regen amounts. My guys have to use cybernetics, bionics, bio-systems, alien technology, or high level spells to regrow their limbs and organs. Ok this is what put me over the...

Nomadic

To Limb or not to Limb.

Sometimes it says it will restore limbs, other times it says it won't and even more it says nothing either way...

So As GM's do you cannon? Allow or disallow regrowing of limbs with BR?

Currently Being Game Tested, and the role he has filled is a techinal Shooter. It's not killing the person in the armor, altho with a crit he can one shot a sammus. 2d4x10+20(Doubled) Mostly it's being used to take out senor optics, hit fast moving targets.

I'm sitting here, double checking the PCC and the powers, and the main impression that I'm getting is that the player is taking you for a ride. First up: Telemechanic Mental Operation, and Telemechanic Paralysis are, per RUE, completely useless against AI so Archie bots and Skelebots are pretty muc...

Nomadic

I see where I got that from. Parrying Energy Blasts says that whatever you parry with takes the damage. Your call. I've always ruled that if you parry and you don't have MA then you block and take damage.

Nomadic

I run a more epic and cinematic type of game, so I say yes. SN strength can be parried by anyone wielding an MD weapon or wearing MDC armor against it. It's not like SN strength doesn't make those who have it already dominate the game enough without making it impossible for most "squishy"...

Nomadic

And you don't think this will make it OP? Because that is what I wanted to do to start with but was talked out of it.

Nomadic

I had a player use a PsiTech in a Phase World game to the same effect. The catch is that even though he has Telemechanics, it does not provide him with the necessary skills to always utilize what he has learnt. In the example with the Archie bot, if he wanted to capitalize on the bot's design, then...

Just read the CS engagement.... exactly how did he disable their tech? I am fairly familiar with the PCC and the available powers and this sounds to be off the scale. Each of the telemechanic manipulation powers are per machine and paralyis costs 20 ISP. Since both of them require 1 attack to maint...
