If I were to think about it I think they effectively were doing nothing and didn't get deemed a big enough threat while the Siege of Tolkieen was going. The Xiti were found out to be non aggressive on a world or dimension until they built up their forces to a point and at that time they attack everything and don't stop until the planet is one giant hive. I forget but I think it was only after the war did dimensional explorers research this and then the CS pulled the stick out long enough to accept that knowledge.

>>97880299
I agree with that but I really like the comics where the superheroes are sent to Kamndi's world. But I also dont like it because it implies that the heroes will fail so hard to protect the world that it becomes just silly how messed up it got.

That movie and BRIGHT were deep background lore but mediocre movies resulting in a good foundation for a franchise that peters out.

I suppose I should lamentingly throw Pacific Rim in that pile.

>>97892127
The Pacific Rim anime is quite excellent, if you are looking for a bright spot.

So is the Godzilla one.

My favorite part about Spectrum is that the Rogue Scientist proves himself to be very useful.

If you want another mediocre-excellent film that is better than it deserves to be, check out In Time with Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried.

How does Apprentice Illusion Magician's discard effect work with Diffusion Wave-Motion? Like if my opponent has three monsters out, do I get the 2000 atk boost while hitting just one of them, or does it apply against all three monsters?

Those two are kinda weird in comparison along side puppet, but if you break them down they make a little more sense:

Puppet is still pretty much the gold standard pretty much; getting control of a target on their turn has near infinite applications, with the floor being just aimed shotting themselves in the head. Knowing their compromised immediately blows digital stealth though.

Shard Ejection says nothing about alerting the target specifically, so an inattentive mark may not even notice right away that their chipware has ejected. They only know they've been hacked, they don't know how. Pragmatically, it exists entirely to let players pull the NCART hustle Lucy and David get up to in the anime; though in other circumstances you could use it to fuck someone relying on skill chips.

System Reset is very powerful against a lone target, but has limited combat applicability; you can park them out of the fight, but if any of their friends know there's a runner or see them go down, they can just wake them up. RAW, they need to deal damage but a booster-ganger may be more than happy to kick his fellow in the ribs in combat if it gets him off the floor. There is an advantage in that a sleeping target may wake up knowing someone hit him with a comically large mallet, but he won't be able to do that for longer than most combats go.

I expect more polish in the upcoming book over these edge cases.

>>97891313
The problem with gutterpunk play is that the best armour in the game is very easy to obtain, so to keep LAJ out of the players' hands you need to go so low that they can't have any fun stuff.

I've stopped responding to people saying LAJ is the best armor in the game. It's patently not; it's simply highly cost effective and doesn't stop people from making every character idea they have moonlight as breakdancers with a 14 Evasion base.

People don't even try heavier armor because they don't want to spend the eddies and don't want to do the math. Certain armors make you capable of ignoring increasingly large calibers over half the time and make you fully impervious to certain damage dice absent critical hits. It's not an accident that LAJ is affordable to starting characters; it's the bare minimum necessary to shrug off 2d6s; you stick with that bare minimum when the big dogs come out you had better remember to take shields and use cover or you're in for a rude awakening.

As a reminder, though it is a common house rule, rerolling checks is not a thing normally RED. If you're spending luck on evasion, you're gambling before the result. Someone lobs a grenade your way and you don't make the DV you have good odds of being effectively out of the fight until you can scoop your insides back in.

>>97895558
Corebook mooks don't even use medium pistols and SMGs; They use Very heavy pistols and Shotguns.

Light armor jack is always able to be pierced; light armor jack is a ultimately a mediocre set of armor. The active protection of evasion is simply so much better than the passive protection of high armor.

For reasons that have been discussed to death.

>>97895623
You are taking the wrong lessons from the correct observations. Evasion, no matter how high you push your base is never 100% reliable. People overestimate its use because any combat where they don't get hit they conclude "OH MY EVASION BASE IS HIGH, THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T TAKE DAMAGE". Nevermind range band, nevermind tactics, nevermind cover, 'my evasion will save me'. That last until you take the wrong critical injury and your evasion against gunfire literally disappears if you didn't slap a coprocessor in (which you probably didn't, you have 8 REF remember?)

Evasion rolls apply substantial variance in defense. Your 14 base in Evasion is not making every shot against you DV 15; it can go substantially higher on a high roll; or just once in 10 you can crater down to a DV 5 and take damage straight on the chin. This is why you layer defenses; because if you're getting dragged into the appropriate number of encounters by your Ref and they're hitting you with Hardened foes (which they are, because you're REF 8 with Dodge of 6 genius) you're going to get hit sometimes. You should be dressing for the appropriate occasion; in fact the NC sourcebook on its way is probably going to cause immeasurable butt-hurt when people start having to wear nothing heavier than Kevlar (or what looks like it) to get into any club that doesn't have a neon sign with a cowboy on it.

Debatable. The “faint cogitation” refers to them being enigmatic and indiscernible, or slow in thought, not brain dead. They don’t respond much, if at all.

No real issue with the concept, I imagine they'd be much less common though since of the various "higher undead" you see in fantasy, the Lich definitely appeals to a very male autist type of power fantasy, in which appearance and earthly desires are entirely irrelevant and their totally massive brains make them unkillable, eternal, and powerful.

>variant human
I'll admit if there is one thing I am happy to be rid of after switching to Advanced 5e, it's dealing with Variant Human. Now make no mistake the options for human are actually really good in A5E, but when feats are "optional" it ends up feeling really odd for only one race to get them.

In A5E humans outright get an extra skill proficiency of their choice, plus only need half the time to train in new armor/weapons/tools with downtime. They also get to add a 1d4 (Expertise Die) to any check 1/short rest.

The actual options are varied. One lets you go a number of days equal to your CON mod without suffering fatigue (Exhaustion) from no food/water but you need twice as much for the same number of days after. Another enhances Dash 1/SR, making you not provoke attacks and getting an expertise die to Acrobatics checks against hazards and to DEX saves plus letting you ignore one level of fatigue per long rest and then an expertise die on saves to resist fatigue gain during forced marching. Finally perhaps the strongest one. Reroll failed concentration saves up to your INT mod per long rest, and also choose two tools you're proficient with or one skill from a specific list (the non-physical ones) you then always have a minimum of 10 for your rolls with those tools/that skill.

Also FUCK the captchas the other day, holy shit.

>>97895014
I feel like that would remove all of the fun of the battles when it comes down to utilizing the environment, giving trainers extra things to do mid-battle, and other non-videogame stuff that you can do with roleplaying and a tabletop system in general

>>97895074
There was an errata for PTU like almost 10 years ago to remove all the turn loss status except for Freeze and Sleep. In my game we turned Freeze into Frostbite, -special attack burn basically. Sleep is still there, but any damage wakes you up and we made it easier each turn to wake up like the Vortex saves. I have PTSD from when a Slaking put my Raichu to sleep and I failed 4 turns even with +4 and rerolls.

Carrot in theory has a pretty good matchup against Penel, but they gave him this really dumb combo here where he can do Lightning Kitten to -1k my freeze Carrots, then Mamaragan to rest her and then crash into her with the 10k Enels, or Lightning Dragon so she can't attack/freeze anything next turn.
I really don't understand what they were thinking with him, his deck can do everything.

At least in the context of superheroes, Magik has been a thing for decades. She simply missed out on the X-Men boom in the '90s because she was out of action at the time, so it's only relatively recently that she's returned to relevance.

>>97894102
Also, she's not a demon, but rather a notable occultist, who just so happens to also be a mutant. She exemplifies the Marvel universe rule that anyone can learn magic.

I've already typed this up three times because of some stupid state-wide IP ban, so here goes.

Inspired by MahoAko and a magical girl webnovel that got haiatus'd. It's meant to be easy to pick up and play with simple to make characters. Simple d6 dice pool system in order to reach the most people. Combat is the only system module I'm having issues with, because I don't want it to be too easy or take too long.

A few systems are in place to represent the more common things you'd find with magical girls. An Identity system gives you benefits for portraying your character's personality. A Bond system is in for Power of Friendship. Magic is supposed to be easy to set up and varied enough to keep things interesting. There's also a corruption system that trades power for an eventual Bad End.

At the moment the system is abstracted enough that you could potentially refluff everything as a superhero or toku setting. An update I have in mind will change this, but will hopefully make some of the systems and rules mesh a bit better.

What it needs right now is playtesters that can tell me what works, what doesn't, and what needs changing.

Can anyone recommend a good place to find a beta reader for a homebrew wargame? I'd post it here but it's like 150 pages currently, I'm guessing will probably end up being 250 total, and I doubt anyone is going to want to take the time to actually read through all that.

Ok folks, I really need a different point of view there:
How would you classify/stat a wide variety of senses?
Like, obviously we all know what seeing or hearing allows us to perceive or not. We also have a rough idea of what the sense of smell of a dog allows it to do.
But what about the Vomeronasal organ of a snake, for example? Or the vibration senses of a spider?
This is a very concrete problem for me, because my game is centred around playing a wide variety of different animal species, so if a player has a shark-like character, I need a simple way to sum up what... say... electroreception allows him to perceive and not perceive and how to roll for it.
Here are the two approaches I can think of
Option 1: Full-blown effect-based classification
>Senses are cut down into a list of effects, like:
>How far does it perceive? (line of sight [perception decreases with occlusion]/ radial [perception decreases with distance]/ contact)
>Active or passive?
>Does it require the target to be there, or just to have passed by?
>What does it target well?
>What are its limitations?
So, a sonar would be: Active, Line of sight, target present, perceive volume, doesn't convey colours.
Option 2: "Work like"

>>97893603
Personally i think youve got tunnel-visioned.
Describing what it detects, how it detects, and a special function is better than over complicating it.

For example
Sonar detects matter clearly at 30m. It uses sound/vibration to do so.

Detects [sensed variable] clearly at [average distance where it can clearly distinguish a human-sized object without
Fail] using [detection method/medium].

You can also add a special disclaimer like for example infrared can detect footsteps if a short time passed

The dice are still in stock. My cat is not for sale though.

>>97892229
Cute cat. Any ideas for campaigns?

Found myself a nice local group and I'm thinking up some oneshot ideas to ease people into the system.

I kinda want to run a pulpy weird war game with the players as commandos trying to stop a super evil nazi train or something. I think it could be cinematic and zany enough to help sell the ruleset and the dice. An alternative would be to raid an olde pyramid that nazi occultists are looting, Indiana Jones style.

Or a safe bet would be a Shadow of the Beanstalk oneshot, a daring heist on a head office or something.

I'm a bit concerned about the timing, as it's in a public venue so the max session time is 3 hours. When I run a game at my house, the game takes as long as it takes because we'll pick it up next week. With a one-shot, there's no guarantee of that.

>>97894344
There's an in-game bomb that's going to go off in three hours so if they players don't finish the one-shot by then the PCs die a grim death

A three hour one-shot means you'll need something snappy, yeah. If you're going to show off the whole system, you'll need a simple introduction, a general skill encounter, a social encounter (maybe to get some intel), and a combat encounter to round things out.

Since you're on a Weird War kick, let's do some Weird War II stuff. The party are Allied commandoes who are currently in contact with the French resistance. A Nazi occultist squad has appeared in Paris and have since disappeared into the infamous catacombs beneath the city. Whatever they're up to down there can't be good, so get down there and root them out. This scenario gives you a good old-fashioned dungeon crawl but with a lot of extra WW2 pulp flavor to it and plenty of room to fill things in around the climactic raid on the catacombs.
