The justice cut and agenda are identical. Edit: this is repeated by the previous post, ironically.

Mors Rattus posted:Will this include mods to the core playbooks to make them work better with it? I think with The Horizon, the Harbinger turns into someone from or touched by unknown points in The Horizon, and the weakness is some kind of way to navigate The Horizon, a map or compass or something. You've run into that kind of character before, right?

Mors Rattus posted:Will this include mods to the core playbooks to make them work better with it? Yes, I already have some plans for the Harbinger and the Heir specifically, but I'll be looking over all the existing playbooks and including a chapter about converting them for the Horizon in the final product. Any mention of the Overlord's Weakness or Sources of Power needs to be replaced by... something. I haven't decided exactly what, yet. But this is also something that I'll need to do with the Empire, so I'll need to start figuring something out there.

Sure, the Overlord's not going to tearing out a dragon's still-beating heart as a Source of Power, but everyone tells tales of the Mountain That Is Dragon and its molten heart, and its existence is core to the local area's scenery and history.

I've talked about it a few times but no, it isn't available yet. The Horizon is the first alt overlord I've actually written.

 I haven't read through it yet but I just want to say The Horizon owns as a concept. The focus on a main big bad is one of the major constraints for the system, and this makes the game a lot more versatile.

Looking forward to a Fellowship Collector, though I'm sad that the Captain didn't make it, it was my favourite IW playbook. But with the Ship not being tied to a playbook, maybe it would work better as a Destiny?

I really enjoy The Horizon; it's perfect for a loose sort of hexcrawl. It would be really neat if some of the moves/advances centered around environmental dangers: storms, wild animals, starvation, getting lost, things like that. I dunno, maybe a Ryuutama-style game would require a very different sort of Overlord.

The Horizon v2 is now available for playtesting. It contains a few wording improvements here and there, the Seeking Justice agenda doesn't list the same thing twice, and I've added a few pages of "so here's what changes when you use the Horizon playbook instead of the Overlord" to the end. This includes things like changing Weaknesses out for Protection, changing Sources of Power into Artifacts of Power, and changing the End of Session questions.

I bought Gnome's Panic at the Dojo a few days ago, and I'm so excited and inspired by it! Is this the right thread to ask questions about it, since it's another Gnome game? Or should I head somewhere else? The questions I've had so far are: 1) The FATAL & Friends review says about the Patient Style "Side note on this one - the description in the text seems to suggest that the intent is to build up a bunch of numbers, then blow them all at once for one killer turn, but as written, that seems like it's impossible, because the style doesn't offer any exceptions for the "one action per turn" trait." My theory is that the intention is to build up lots of numbers, then switch styles and use them up that turn, with the new style. Is that correct or am I missing something too? 2) I'm confused about when heroes can forgo the Default Bonus (+2 max HP), and what forgoing it means. Can heroes forgo the Default Bonus during battle, or only before it? If they forgo the Bonus during battle, do they lose 2 current HP, or does their maximum just decrease by 2? Does every hero lose the Bonus in exchange for one Bonus/Penalty, or does only one hero lose the Bonus in exchange for one Bonus/Penalty?

gnome7 posted:The Horizon v2 is now available for playtesting. This is looking great. Friends already were interested after I showed them the first draft you posted; we might end up doing something with the Horizon, so an updated version is really nice. One question, though; for the different Seeking options, some have "<verb> them" as their Agenda, while others have it as their Extra Cut. Is that intentional? Specifically, Seeking Progress and Virtue have it as their Extra Cut, while everything else has it as the Agenda, making those two seem out of place. For Seeking Virtue in particular, "Threaten the innocent" seems like it's more fitting as an Extra Cut. Roland Jones fucked around with this message at 12:05 on Oct 11, 2018 |

Sanglorian posted:I bought Gnome's Panic at the Dojo a few days ago, and I'm so excited and inspired by it! I was considering making a thread for Panic at the Dojo but I wasn't sure anyone would use it. This thread is as good a place as any, for now. Maybe after I release Final Bid in a couple months I'll make a master thread for Liberi Gothica Games (PatD, Fellowship, Final Bid, Breakfast Cult). 1) Your theory is correct, the intention is to build up a bunch of numbers, use Waiting Game to make them bigger, and then switch styles to take a turn with many very large numbers. Patient Style will pass the numbers over to your next Stance when you switch over to it. 2) At the beginning of battle, the heroes may forego the bonus before the fight starts. If they do, they have the same max HP as the enemies, instead of the 2 HP boost. Every hero loses the default Bonus. In exchange, one hero gets a single Bonus of their choice, or gives one enemy a Penalty of their choice. It usually isn't worth it, the +2 HP advantage is very nice to have. But sometimes you might want to do something weird, so the option is there. For example, if one player has a combo that relies on power tokens, they could take the bonus to just get 4 Power Tokens to kickstart their combo. Roland Jones posted:This is looking great. Friends already were interested after I showed them the first draft you posted; we might end up doing something with the Horizon, so an updated version is really nice. I wanted all of them to have matching agenda names but couldn't find a better wording for the Seeking Progress one, but this is just a draft so I was fine with releasing it in the form it is in now. I'll hopefully figure out some wording to make them all match later. So yes the matching names are intentional, but I'm not so married to the theme that I would stick to it when I couldn't think of a way to fit the theme.

I've been noodling around with this system a bit since finding it the other day, and I was wondering if anyone had come up with a good way to use The Pair to represent a fusion or combiner type character- two characters who physically and mentally combine into one, but can split at will too. I figured you could just do it as a flavor thing and use the Fated Pair to represent them just working best as one unit, since the mechanics already combine their stats? Or would there be a better or more flavorful way to do this?

Two questions: 1) How exactly do spider traps work? Should, for example, Manipulate/The Catch be used as triggers for finish/keep busy/etc or is their effect intended to purely be fictional positioning (potentially providing Advantage)? 2) We're playing online, with a couple of hours running time and our advances are coming very frequently as a result; is it fair, in this circumstance, to go down the list every few sessions, or maybe just be pickier about the questions?

spectralent posted:Two questions: 1) It's mostly fictional positioning, but fictional positioning counts for a lot in this kind of game. Manipulate and The Catch can be used to basically succeed at Overcome/Get Away without rolling if you use them right before someone is put in danger. 2) Yeah in my own campaign I've started to only bother with the list every few sessions. Players advance very quickly when you decide not to include experience points in your game, it turns out! Pacing an advancement system is hard and basically why Fellowship is my only game that has one so far.

Thanks!gnome7 posted:1) It's mostly fictional positioning, but fictional positioning counts for a lot in this kind of game. Manipulate and The Catch can be used to basically succeed at Overcome/Get Away without rolling if you use them right before someone is put in danger. Right! So, in essence, they're not triggers for things like keep busy, they just straight up happen and frequently give you the sort of outcomes you'd expect of strong hits. That's quite powerful! Thanks.

I have questions about Panic at the Dojo! Rubble is specified as costing an extra speed token. Likewise, diagonal movement also cost an extra speed token. However, what about abilities that say "move 3 spaces" or "move an enemy or ally 3 spaces", for example? How're those affected by diagonal movement and rubble?

Rubble ends all movement effects when you enter its space. Diagonal movement is unaffected, and only costs more for Speed tokens. So a "move 3 spaces" ability can get extra value by using three diagonal movements, since those come at no extra cost, but if you step onto Rubble during that movement, that's where you have to stop.

There should be a rule that if you're thrown into rubble or an object that turns into rubble, you're in a dust cloud and can't be hurt for the rest of the current turn. Just saiyan.

Also I should mention a house rule I used for the battle I just ran. A good part of the battle took place on a rooftop, and I ruled that moving from the ground to the rooftop is possible but costs an extra Speed Token. Since this game is inspired by Ranma 1/2 and that routinely has people jumping around without much regard for gravity. Speaking of, later I'll do a full writeup of the two battles that've happened so far.
