    British are stereotyped as scientists? Interesting.

    I've always been a big proponent of letting players make a bit of a "respec" after the first session or two, in order to make some adjustment after seeing the game and group in action. Especially on a new system. I must say, I had some reservations earlier in the day Friday but didn't get...

    Captain America: Winter Soldier

    Sex new extended trailer thing. I have to say, as much as I want to see Thor 2, the commercials/trailers for Thor 2 seemed a bit mediocre compared to this or other Marvel movies.

    This related toThe Banner Saga: Factions on Steam? I didn't realize that is was "a thing". Is it like a book or something?

    Give FATE a shot, like I said, it may just be our GM. But the maths don't work right to me and the character creation was simply painful for us. I could be convinced to give it another shot if it was a good setting and different GM, but I would rather stay home that play the game we are. I'm...

    I guess I don't think it being in a locker room making it Ok. Not sure starting a fist fight in a locker room is a good plan either. It seems reasonable that the guy took a lot of shit and tried to roll with it as best as he could until he just finally couldn't anymore. I guess I think...

    Yeah. It is stuff like, she doesn't have power points, her doodads do (what an odd sentence). And if something happens to the doodads she can't use the power until it is fixed. Each power is invested in a specific doodad basically and it's own independent thing. Without that specific...

    "Get that sense of humor"? I don't see how it is funny at all. I'm all for some racist and sexist jokes in good humor, but "I'm going to run a train on your sister", I just don't see how that is entertaining.

    She may want to read the "Weird Science" section on the powers in the main book, as they work a little different than normal magic does. If she hasn't already.

    Yeah, but there is a reason for the inhumans in the 616 (main comic) world, not in the movie-world. Unless they Terrogen bomb us in the movie/show.

    It is due to the RunePunk book being old and not using the revised rules.

    Vaclav, my maths may be off but do you have a full 5 points of ability score things? I am only counting 4. Also, not sure if you've been following the last few pages but we were discussing how 1d4 in Stamina and Spirit will likely get you eaten in combat. Especially with a -1 toughness...

    Xaander, it may just be our game but I'm playing a FATE game now and after looking forward to it, I find it awful. I thought about Armor and Deflection but I figured even with a +2 (or +4!) It wouldn't be enough to really keep me alive with a base of 4!

    I was thinking of taking my other spell (after Healing) to be some kind of defense or escape one, but I can't say as I see as one particularly good. I thought about Obscure, but a lot of stuff can see in the dark here, so it didn't seem that handy.

    I agree, I think he was just talking down their relationship. It is probably a "they're really in love but don't want to admit it" type of thing, maybe a "I can't tell if I love you like a sibling or a lover" type relationship. It was especially important to raise the emotional stakes of her...

    Fortunately I don't think anything in RunePunk has burst ability. Just a reason I like older settings, reduces the number of crazy full auto weapons.

    I'm really enjoying Savage Worlds from looking at it. I'm kinda thinking of picking up Deadlands and Space 1889 (plots point from the main company as well as one of my favorite settings) and maybe some of the generic companion things, like Fantasy or whatever. Maybe write up a Warhammer...

    Yeah, it is kind of strange. Some of it is quite clever, while other bits not very well thought out. I can't help but feeling it is missing important stuff. I'm mostly planning on hiding under tables until the violence is over!

    Looking good! Note that the RunePunk book uses the older Savage Worlds damage notations, so to update them the "+"'s turn into dice. +1 = 1d4, +2 = 1d6, +3 = 1d8 and so on. So Malakar claws would be "Str + 1d6", or 2d6 for you Vvoid. As for guns Sean, here are the normal guns: "light...

    This is my terrible idea of a character. Young man with impressive spiritual and healing talents... and not much else. He has a little social stuff, thanks to Charisma giving +2, and will grow into more. The key thing he brings to the group is being able to give people +2 to natural healing...

    I thought my state was cool for being the first to seriously promote freedom of religion and separation of church and state as well as it's early anti-slavery stuff. But we have shit for college football, so I guess we suck in what really matters.

    Grr. I really wish I had the main book. There is something about Weird Science people power points go into the items they make instead of having power points themselves? I was looking at maybe being a Chemist, which requires Inventor, which works like Weird Science.

    I'm not sure I would spend so much on Fighting myself. Also the problem with a low Spirit would be fear-type rolls, you'd be useless in any kind of scary situation. I've seen it in other games, it doesn't matter how bad-ass you are if you spend the whole fight peeing yourself in the corner...
