So: a hack based around the idea of low- or no-powered wannabe superheroes fighting crime. Think Arrow/Daredevil/that upcoming "We Are Robins" comic. Talk to me. e: I'm thinking of playbooks like The Striker (DD), The Weapons Master, The Sleuth, or Control (the Oracle-type). Not sure what to do for crews, though Evil Mastermind fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Apr 14, 2015 |

Plague of Hats posted:They're definitely "Teams" instead of "Crews." Ideas off the top of my head are: the Nine-to-Fivers (government agents), Outcasts (certain versions of X-Men), Fightin' Family (Fantastic Four) and Bickering Soap Operatives (Avengers, or really every team ever). I was thinking more street-level than that. NIMBYs: We don't give a poo poo about what's happening in the rest of the city. This is our goddamn street, and we don't want you superassholes doing whatever the hell it is you're doing or peddling your poo poo here. We don't care where you go or what you do, you just ain't doing it here. Get out of our neighborhood. Thrillers: You know what the best thing about fighting gangsters and D-list supervillains is? The rush. Parkour-chasing thugs, dodging blasts from a laser pistol, beating up nameless goons, you loving love it. This isn't about justice; you're in it for the kicks. Wannabes: Listen, you can't just go to one of the major super-teams and ask to join up. You need to build a rep first. Take down a few metadrug dealers, get some exposure on the news, that kind of thing. Stick with us; we're on the road to the Big Time! Wronged: It's not about stopping crime, or taking down every two-bit thug or mob boss. It's about taking out that particular mob boss. And yeah, it doesn't matter who you have to ally with to do it. Ends justify the means.

There's also the fact that the quickstarts are also public playtest documents, which helps him find issues a lot faster than he would in a more closed-off playtest environment.

Kai Tave posted:It's mind boggling to hear people saying that tinkering with a game post KS is a big red flag when Exalted 3E is a thing that should still be fresh in peoples' memories. On the plus side, I think this is a new record for the shortest time between the starting a game's thread and arguments about whether or not the rules are good.

Kai Tave posted:Seriously though, ever since the final-ish Ex3 leak hit everybody who was actually looking forward to it has generally had positive reactions to it but even they're going "this really could have benefited from another round of people going over it and clarifications" and instead what the Ex3 team did was spin lovely analogies about Christmas presents and then when the first leak hit rather than embrace it and use it as as an opportunity to build more hype and solicit feedback they went "ugh, no more semi-open playtesting PERIOD." I haven't been paying attention to Ex3; what happened with the rules?

If you're not on the G+ group, then you probably didn't see Joseph Vandel's awesome heist clocks.

For people who missed the kickstarter, John just put the current draft up on DriveThru, which will be updated up to and including the final version.

The only downside is that it's so nice, I don't want to put it a game bag or anything.

Demon_Corsair posted:I think the tough part of people making good hacks will be playing with the heist - > down time - > find next heist cycle, and the territory mechanics. Well, that and coming up with a new idea that someone else hasn't come up with already. Although maybe that's just me not being able to think of a good idea for a hack.
