Any of you guys ever play this? What's it like? I happened to be looking for a game to run something like ghostbusters in, though I was looking at stuff like hunter the reckoning, and stumbled across this today.
>>97261804Ive played a one shot of spooktacular, which is an IP free version of the game. Enjoyed it quite a bit, it was a lot of fun. It's a very light weight game.
>>97261804It's fun, it's simple, suitable for adults and kids.First edition was slightly better. Not all that many real differences mechanically, added a little encumbrance rule rather than just can carry five items or whatever it was, made a rule for making weird science stuff, added a sort of wound/injury rule. They also got rid of the character and equipment cards because they cost too muc--because they were "childish". Making a character in first edition takes seconds, and a few more seconds in second. Its dice pool system is the progenitor of the d6 or D6 system like used in WEG Star Wars.It's not something I'd probably make a long campaign of, though that is where the second edition was headed, but for a short campaign it's fun and it's never out stayed its welcome. It's easy to learn and as I said works with kids and adults. The only warning I'd give is that it's supposed to light entertainment and it's a bit less fun if you play it completely straight but don't got for slapstick. If you and the players don't take it seriously that's worse I'd say than taking a more serious game and playing that for laughs.
>>97261804I played a Ghostbusters game, but for the life of me can't remember if it was the official rpg or some custom thing my friend made. Our characters were Ghostbusters franchisees for the city we actually live in. My character was a small time con man who didn't believe in ghosts and joined up because he thought it was just a way to scam credulous rubes. Finding new ways to rationalize the increasing levels of ghost activity was fun.
>>97261804It's like this:https://youtu.be/0tdyU_gW6WE?si=klJXx926eEFb5YKX
I'm intrigued by the idea of a Ghostbusters rpg but honestly thing it would probably just be based off of the original cartoon which was more funny and slapstick-y. I mean it has got cheerful right in the name.

>>97271538>considering they won't even add a format that includes the entire game's historyNot defending them, but they still don't have all the cards in to support Modern. Of course they don't support EDH and all its "my obscure pet card from Odyssey block that nobody else has even heard of because it's so shit" nonsense.
>>97271567You're right, but I was thinking more about just having an EDH-like option with the cards they already have in the game. Would it need to have a new name at that point, if the cards are technically legal to play in the format but simply not available on the client? Maybe they'd have to call it "multiplayer brawl" or something?

Obviously I would much rather have the Emperor fighting Slaanesh for my soul, or you know, not have dreams where my soul is being contested by gods, but the thing with the Orks has saved my skin on a few occasions >The Ork wants me to help him “loot” presents, and sure, why not? If nothing else it will give me more time to think of a plan where I slip free of both the Orks and the Slaaneshi, and maybe I will find a few items that will aid in said plan as well >Unlike the warehouse room I just came from, there are a still a few presents here, apparently the occupants of the warehouse weren’t able to teleport them all prior to being slaughtered >Also, the chopped up pieces of the former occupants have a few lootable items of their own>Among the useful objects I find are a compact autopistol, a few spare clips, a Guard issue frag grenade, switchblade, some ration bars, and also a few small “toys” which I would normally shun, but the aphrodisiacs in my system are starting to mess with my head again.

>>97270870>>97270870there is a big chunk of time where you have to wait out, until they start using Clan xlfe or IS light fe.it makes mediums the new lights, especially when the clannerfaggot enemy is bringing so much more firepower at such greater ranges.
>>97270870C-Bill cost has always been badly balanced to me. I know there a lot of nuances meant to be taken into account but if I was to boil down the problem in basics, an AC/10 and PPC are the exact same cost in C-Bills but the PPC is lighter, more compact and you don't have to worry about ammo. An AC/10 in the long run would work out as vastly more expensive so why would you ever take it over a PPC? The economy in the Battletech universe does not stand up to scrutiny.
Continuing my question about how many technicians are needed for mechs, especially in a 4-mech lance, how does that affect the chain of command in a military unit? I mean, if a mech lance, personnel wise, is the four Mechwarriors + technicians + Astechs, I assume the latter two still answer to the lance leader who would be in the former? And in what I was told in pic (source: https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/97249401/#97265905), I assume Astechs are temporary assets?
>>97270108I've always loved LAMs. We can just speak up now.
>>97271095The actual problem with C-Bill costs is that they're set when the item first appears and never change (because that would be a monstrous 20-30 some odd page table cross referencing every item by every era, at least) no matter how the situation around that item does. If it first showed up as a boutique experimental item hand made by top scientists and engineers at the NAIS or something, then it will always have the inflated cutting edge C-bill cost even after it becomes widely produced by the whole IS. If it first shows up after a timeskip as a new thing that is widely available, it will never have the higher price its first hand-made, limited run iterations would have had. Inflation never impacts the prices. The complete collapse of the c-bill as a currency never impacts the prices. Items only being "sold" internally from a state producer to the state military using house bills never impacts the theoretical c-bill price players use.But to make any of that happen would require the developers to find some kind of financial expert with the perfect blend of Battletech and actuarial autism, and the end result would be a brand new highly complicated system tracking inflation and exchange rates across 600 years and multiple economic models. So instead we get fixed c-bill prices.

In the Factorio Space Age v2.1 jump if we take the "it's all just laying there on the ground" perk does it have a range limit? Like if I just plop down a single mining drill to mine some iron is it going to cause all the iron on an entire planet to eventually migrate over to my single mining drill or is there a limit to how far away it will "pull in" resources?400cp - It’s all just laying there on the groundYou don’t have time to survey an entire world and dig through the crust for what youneed. Thankfully all you need to do is chip away at the resources you can see and therest will come to you. Start digging up a vein of iron or anything else and material willmigrate to replace what you’ve taken, allowing you to collect every last bit withoutneeding to chase it down. This perk does work with machines you’ve built to collectresources for you

>>97266466If you dislike gamey design then you won't enjoy Star Wars Legion. There are way too many cards and tokens, as is the problem with all FFG wargames and why they fizzle out so quick despite the juggernaut IPs behind them
>>97270394Any lore for your red and black imperials? Are they a remnant warlord?
>>97268071I kinda wonder what the structures around the temple are. looks almost industrial if anything from the bird's eye view. can't imagine jedi would want their headquarters surrounded by factories and warehouses though
>>97271399Well Anon, my initial inspiration for the design was Carnor Jax's Crimson Empire. But due to LFL's moaning, I can't take royal guards, kind of ruining the theme. I'm still tinkering with adjusting the lore, but the core idea is that this is indeed a warlord faction - the Palace Empire.>Run by a captain-turned-moff who gained her position by helping the ISB root out the previous moff's treachery before Endor>A doctrine of authority, Imperial orthodoxy and perfectionism>They have ties and are suppported by various local noble and high society families>They see themselves as protectors of civilization after the chaos of Endor, continuing the Empire's mission to uplift and civilize the barbarous systems and aliansI still have yet to settle on a specific sector of space they'd occupy, but I feel I'm working with something cool here.

>>97167557As an experiment, a famous and talented violinist played music in a New York subway station. Most people passed him by since they're used to that sort of thing, but some stopped to listen for a bit. There was one person who later thought he looked familiar, but didn't think the famous violinist would be busking in a subway, and exactly one person actually recognized him. Still a celebrity, known and respected in his field, but he's not in movies or top 40 billboards, and the TV doesn't inundate you with his image, so he's not known.To cap off the point I don't even remember the guy's name and I don't feel like looking it up.

>>97271324The actual way to do it--assuming the PCs are also foreigners to this land--is to initially use the first description, then bring up the second as the PCs dig deeper. Since, you know, that's how a visitor would actually experience the familiarity pipeline.

Mid-Colonial Island Adventure Setup & System HelpHello fa/tg/uys and a happy new year. I'm planning a new campaign and would appreciate your collective wisdom. I'll lay out the pitch and would like your thoughts, ideas, and especially system recommendations.The year is roughly equivalent to the early 1700s. The players are new arrivals or long-term residents of an island colony. Mere weeks after their arrival it becomes apparent that no ships from the homeland arrive. Ships sent out for help or trade simply vanish. The colony is now utterly isolated. Resources are finite, society is beginning to crack, and the unexplored interior holds ancient secrets.>Resource ScarcityNo contact with the outside world. Every nail, bolt of cloth, and ounce of gunpowder is precious. Gold is the main currency, and it matters—for buying scarce supplies, hiring help, bribing officials or mayby hiring trainers if gold can be tied to character advancement.>Low-to-Mid MagicMagic is rare. Players won't be casting spells at the start. It's something discovered in the forest ruins or bargained for with strange spirits mid-campaign. Church sanctioned magic is the exception with high ranking members of the faith having access to considerable magical power.>Healers for Hire There are a few lowly priests of the faiths that can perform rudimentary healing rituals but demand some gold or favors. This type of healing and warding, especially against diseases, is used by the church to maintain power and influence. They're NPCs, not party members, at least initially and the most common source of magic.>Zero to HeroI would really like for the player to start really low powered. More akin to semi-skilled commoners than competent adventures and it should take time for them to actually become strong and capable. I would like for them to eventually become big players in the island. Maybe even hold titles or positions of power.
>>97271332I have a suggestion. Start with the PCs being shipwrecked. That way, resources are limited, and you have an 'out' in that they can find caches that have washed up onto the shore or fight people to get the stuff. Like the ship probably had cannons or something, but they're somewhere elsewhere on the island now.
>>97271341This, also have the survivors be spread out too. Founding a colony from scattered survivors and supplies in a deadly frontier sounds more interesting than managing some poor shitheap that was already there.
>>97271332>>97271337Sounds interesting but I question whether people would be using gold as currency in this scenario instead of being concerned strictly with things that help their ability to survive in the immediate future. Are people going to be trading something they can eat or fight with for something they can't?
>>97271341>>97271405I didn't imagine the colony as poor. Not necessarily thriving but still an established colony with at least one main city and farms and outposts spread out. Also If I go with the shipwreck route the fact that the island is suddenly cut off from the world will be irrelevant and the plot of separatist group taking advantage of the situation will be thrown out along with how the various native tribes would react to a sudden swift in power. It will be a different situation altogether. More Robinson Crusoe and less Aguirre.>>97271449Food isn't the issue. There is plenty of food. What becomes rare are things that you needed to import. Like rare metals and gunpowder. Such things will skyrocket in price but you would still need a medium to trade with. I don't think that gold would lose it's value. Plus there is no guarantee that the situation is permanent, and if trade returns the ones hoarding gold will be better off that the ones hoarding potatoes.
>>97271531I see, this sounds like a perfect setup for a classic Westmarch game>City with some surrounding civilized hexes>Mostly unknown frontier, some good native settlements but also monsters and ruins full of ancient evil (maybe undead Aztecs) to explore and pacify>As players grow in power and influence they can start playing into the factional politics
