Like I said, I have a good deal of affection for Ravenloft... but yeah, there's some pretty ridiculous stuff there that would make for entertaining reviews. My reviewing Deities & Demigods was mainly intended to lead into a reviews of Planescape materials... but I did kind of want to review Ravenloft, too, and maybe once I finally finish my Deities & Demigods review I can do some Ravenloft reviews as well.

I wrote an RPG. I wrote a Giant Robot focused RPG, specifically, to capture the feeling and aesthetic of 80's real robot anime an more modern video games like Gundam, Layzner, Dunbine, Dragonar, Zone of the Enders, and Armored Core. I wrote this RPG because I was unsatisfied with Lancer, which is only a big thing because of its art, but also because as a veteran of certain systems I can tell you that Silhouette and Mekton are 100% bullshit. I'm currently formatting a .pdf of the core (Player) version of the rules, with a quick add-on for the Referee's Guide covering things like running combat, handling enemies and NPCs, and rewarding experience to players. Then I'm going to hand that to PurpleXVI to tear the gently caress apart here, because he's one of the few people I trust to not just go "Just use Lancer."

CitizenKeen posted:There are strong mechanical reasons to like Lancer, not just the art. If you're unsatisfied with it, that's totally cool. But negging on Lancer isn't a good way to announce you've got a game. You misunderstand. I like Lancer, I'm just unsatisfied with aspects of it, such as the amount of influence your pilot has on things, especially combat- It's art isn't the only reason why people like it, but its undeniable that a lot of what got people to look at it from the start was it being attached to the artist of Kill Six Billion Demons. It is definitely far better than Mekton or Silcore or Adeptus Evangelion or Battle Century G. Additionally, I'm simply tired of people telling me "Just use Lancer, don't work on your own thing" over and over again. Its... annoying, and has turned me off of Lancer.

Nessus posted:Right, like, my thing is that I would like a toolkit that would let you run a game of something approximately analogous to UC Gundam or a Macross series - character is important but so are the machines and the nature of the doubletalk special sauce, whatever it may be. Instead it seems like it's either systems that lean hard one way or the other. I gather Mechwarrior, the RPG, was actually pretty good at this in that there were both the places where your character could plug into a Battletech minis game, or do independent adventuring. I've heard mixed things about Battle Century G (is that right?) I'm not a big fan of Battle Century G- Its devs, who I know, are basically on the level of Kevin S. and John Wick (of L5R) when it comes to dealing with disagreements and creative criticism. On the other hand, the game system I'm working on does try to put an equal emphasis on player's machine and a player's character.

PurpleXVI posted:VOTOMs goes a long way, but apparently past the second arc or so, which I admit is where I stopped watching, Chirico turns out to have magic powers or some such poo poo? Going entirely by word of mouth here, mind you, but yes, VOTOMs is probably the realest robotest show I can name and those two first arcs are loving great. After the Kunmen arc, it becomes Dune. No, i'm not even kidding about this. However, Kunmen is a pretty goddamned strong arc. If you want more like the first two arcs of VOTOMS, go watch Fang of the Sun Dougram, from the same creator. The first 50 episodes are on Youtube, and I can get you the last 25. PurpleXVI posted:

I feel like Vidar only put up with Failiok because killing him wouldn't let him get revenge. But at the same time, Vidar probably wouldn't expressly go out of his way to save Iok if it didn't serve the purpose of revenge.

I guess I would say "Standard Issue internet Weirdoes." This is a reference that only PurpleXVI would get, but think of them as like SweetSoulsBro but with robots instead of guns, and also being kind of arrogant grognards who once gave everything in their game's movement system a max speed of "1" while making ranged weapons able to shoot longer than that while also allowing characters to move and shoot simultaneously, and didn't understand why that wasn't good.

That's the rub though. You can either make both the pilot and the mech important, or you can make the pilot not important at all and only have the mech have stats. I don't like only the mech having Stats.

Skaven being just right when well written kinda makes me sad they aren't in 40k. But at the same time, makes me happy because 40k would find a way to ruin them. ... Admittedly, the idea of replacing the Tau with SPACE SKAVEN is hilarious. Edit: Especially if SPACE SKAVEN have a very "Metroid Prime Space Pirate" idea of problem solving and experimentation, what with all the logs in Metroid Prime that boil down to "gently caress it just douse it in Phazon and see what happens!"

I've been on a Fantasy Craft kick lately, so I was going to do a few posts in here genning up character concepts in the system to show it off. If you've got any concepts you'd want me to try to make, go right ahead and post 'em.

So, Fantasy Craft. I'm not sure that this is going to be a full deep dive into Fantasy Craft itself, though that would probably be a very good thing- instead, this is going to be a probable ongoing thing where people throw a concept at me, I see if it's workable or not in Fantasy Craft, and then try to make it if it is. Not too hard, but still a good way of showing off the flexibility and wide range of characters you can make in the system, which some people have called "3.x and Pathfinder done right." To be honest, I'd agree with them on that, though with the ongoing non-release of Spellbound, its in the ironic position of spellcasters not being as supported as everyone else; a fair difference from Spellcaster Edition and Spellcaster Edition with more chudness. With all of that said, I'm going to get started with the first installment of "Five's FantasyCraft Funtimes on FATAL and Friends." Our first character is going to be something I particularly had fun playing in one session before the DM said that casters were too weak and tried to switch us to Pathfinder: A Half Orc Samurai, eager to prove themself to anyone who doubts him. That concept gives us a few things to start with making our character. They are a half orc, which means we'll need to make them a half orc. They're a samurai, which means they'll need to be able to do certain things: Fight with sword and spear, use a bow, ride a horse, and do noble and/or aristocratic stuff. Fortunately, these are all fairly easy to do. Step 1) Attributes With our concept set, we move on to choosing our character's attributes. There are six Attributes in FantasyCraft: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma. Each Attribute does a thing, and Craft appears to have tried to avoid making Dexterity the godstat for martials and Intelligence the actual godstat for everything else.  Rather than roll for Attributes, Fantasycraft has all Attributes purchased by way of a 36 point pointbuy system- the lowest you can buy, 8, costs 0 while the highest you can buy, 18, costs 22 points. To me, 36 points splits the difference between feeling too powerful and starting out weak.  Spending all of our points, I went with a spread of 14, 14, 14, 12, 10, 10 before assigning them to Attributes. Now, for our Samurai, we'll need a fairly balanced array of stats: Strength for fighting in melee, Dexterity for avoiding attacks and firing a bow, Constitution for being tough, and Charisma for handling court and social situations. With Strength, Dex, and Charisma being the most important, they'll get the highest attributes, followed by Con, followed by the remainder going to Int and Wis. This gives us the following Attributes: 14 Strength 14 Dexterity 12 Constitution 10 Intelligence 10 Wisdom 14 Charisma. Now with our attributes chosen, we move on to Step 2. Step 2) Origin Origin is a catchall term, this is the stage at which we choose our character's Origin Skills, Species and Speciality, and a talent if our character is human. Origin Skills are two skills that we choose at our Origin that are always going to be Class Skills for this character. For this character, I'll pick Search and Sense Motive. Search, because one can never be too on guard for assassins, and Sense Motive because it helps to be able to read people. Because our concept calls for us playing a Half Orc, we'll have to look at the available Species.
In addition to these 12 races, there are Species Feats, which can be purchased using the level 1 Feat that all characters get. Species Feats are anything from "You're a drow now" to special abilities only available to a certain species. Some of these Species Feats are mutually exclusive with others. For our Samurai, since we want to play a Half Orc, we'll have to go with Human, which means choosing a Talent. There are a lot of talents, so many that I'm not really going to list them, but trust me that they're a bunch of 'em. The Talent I went with is Industrious: It increases Constitution by 1, sets our Base Speed to 30 ft, and gives us a few benefits
Onward to finishing up Origin. With our Race and Talent chosen, we move on to choosing our Specialty. Again, there are a lot of these, so I won't be listing them all. For our Samurai, I've chosen Cavalier. Cavalier helps us be better at fighting on horseback and being a noble horseman.
Brief Sidetrack: Feats So, Feats have come up early in this, which means now's as good of a time as any to talk about them. Feats are much as they are in 3.5 or Pathfinder, with the exception that they're all actually good, useful, and things like system Mastery aren't a thing. Let's look at the three feats we've picked up: Orc Blood, to represent this character being a Half Orc, Yeoman's Work, and Favored Gear Orc Blood is a Blood feat, which means we can't take any more Blood style feats with it. It also has to be taken at level 1, taking up this character's level 1 feat slot. The benefits are pretty nice, though: the higher of our Strength or Constitution scores rises by 1, and we gain the Grueling Combatant quality as if we were an Orc. We also get to pick Orc only feats. Yeoman's Work, on the other hand, is a gear feat. It does one thing, but that's important: It gives us +3 Prudence, which will be important when we get to talking about that when we finish up our character Favored Gear is another Gear Feat. The version we got is specific to a mount, but in general, Favored Gear lets us choose 1 specific piece of Gear that we own, and lets us roll 2 Action Die whenever we spend 1 to boost a skill or attack check with it. The Item also can't be destroyed with a critical miss or a failure, and we can switch it whenever we gain a class level. With all of that done, We have the basic skeleton of our character before we get them into a class and give them interests and equipment. Step 3) Class There are a number of base classes available in Fantasy Craft- for this character, who is supposed to be a Samurai, there's no real choice however. We're making our Half Orc a Lancer. A Lancer is, in the book, said to have the party role of "Combatant/Talker". They're focused on mounted combat, with an additional focus on translating their horseback abilities to social situations. Example Lancers are a Prosperous Nomad, a Chivalrous Nomad, a Samurai Warrior, a bold Tribesman, and a Wyrm Rider. Yeah, Lancer is definitely what we're going with. So, Lancer has the following class Skills: Athletics, Impress, Intimidate, Notice, Resolve, Ride, Survival, and Tactics. It gives 4 + Intelligence Modifier skill points per level, times 4 at level 1, so we have 16 skill points to spend on those eight skills, and our two Origin Skills. Max Skill Rank at level 1 is 4, so with that? We could also, based on our Enlightened Crafting ability from Industrious, boost craft up if we wanted to make stuff.
Lancer Starts with 12+ Con Modifier Vitality, meaning we've got 13 Vitality to accompany our 13 Wounds. Then starting Lancers have 6 Proficiencies. Proficiencies in Fantasy Craft can be used to gain Proficiency in a class of weapons, used to increase a Proficiency to a Forte, or spent to obtain Tricks. Having a Forte in a weapon group gives you +1 to attacks made with weapons in that group, and let you use weapons in that group that require a Forte. Tricks are special things you can do in combat or that enhance your attacks. Because our Samurai should be good at Swords and Spears and Bows, and we have six Proficiencies, I choose to spend four of my Proficiencies on getting Edged Forte and Bow Forte. The remaining two we'll spend on Tricks: Mixup twice, once for Feint, and once for Trip. Now let's look at what Lancer gives us at Level 1 off of it's chart. It has a Base Attack Bonus of +1, A Fortitude save of +1, a Reflex Save of +0, and a Will save of +1. It has a Defense bonus of +0, a bonus to Initiative of +2, a Lifestyle bonus of +2, and a Legend of +0. The Core Ability of Lancer is Lifetime Companion, while we get the Class Ability Born In the Saddle at this level. Lifetime Companion gives a Lancer a mount as per the Animal Partner feat. In addition to the bonuses from Animal Partner, the mount gets replaced at no cost if lost or killed. The Lancer also gets a 20% discount to buy Mounts and Mount Accessories. Animal Partner gives the person who takes it an animal NPC with an XP value equal to or less than 50 + 5x the number of permanant terrain feats you have. This NPC is a special character, meaning it doesn't die as easily. We're getting a horse. Born in the Saddle, on the otherhand, makes us better at both riding stuff and at intimidating people. Whenever we fail an Intimidate or Ride Check and don't suffer an error, we still suceed so long as the check DC (or our opponent's check result) is equal to or less than our Class Level + 20. With our class done, we move on, then, to our interests Step 4) Interests Interests are things like an Alignment, Languages, and Studies. Alignments are, rather than a set grid like in 3.x, more akin to a choice to follow a god, a code of honor, kinship with a powerful force, or whatever; in campaigns with Miracles active, Alignments are needed to get divine spells. Languages are, well, languages. Each Language counts as 1 Interest. Studies are a bit more... Loose. A study is just something that a character takes time to learn about. When a GM and you agree that a study relates to a skill check, you get a +1 bonus with that check. When a study relates to a Knowledge Check, you get 1 additional hint. Sharing a study with an NPC gives a +1 bonus to skill checks made to improve their Disposition. Characters start out with four Interests: A language, a Study in our native culture and homeland, and 2 additional Interests. Step 5) Finishing Up Okay, now we're just finishing up on this character. Action Die, which are important at always in good supply, are determined at a base level based on your level. At level 1, we've got 3#d4 Action Die to play with. Money in Fantasy Craft is handled by Coin, which is split into two basic types, both represented in general by silver pieces. There is Cash in Hand, which is the amount of money a character has acquired in the current adventure, and can be spent freely; and Stake, which is all the money put away over time for major purchases and times of need. Stake can only be used while in a city or visiting your home. At the end of adventures, you can transfer a certain amount of coin in hand into your stake; the rest gets spent automatically during Downtime. As a new character, we start with 100 Silver x our Career level, so 100. Lifestyle is important. It determines both a character's general style, and our knack for handling money. Lifestyle itself is divided into Panache and Prudence: Panache is our style, Prudence our money handling. Lifestyle is gained from our level in our class, along with benefits from some feats and Origins. Our Samurai has a total of 5 Lifestyle: 2 from being a level 1 Lancer, and 3 Prudence from Yeoman's Work. For the sake of having money, we put our 2 Lifestyle into Panache, meaning that we have the following benefits: We have a +1 Appearance bonus, which gives a bonus per point over another character's Appearance to Charisma based skill checks, and an income of 20s per month. Our 3 Prudence means that we convert 30% of our cash in hand into stake.  We also have 10 Reputation- Reputation is used ot purchase Renown, advancing along the Heroic, Military, and Noble Renown Tracks. The higher your renown is, the more people know who you are, the more Prizes (Read: Magic Items) you can have and keep, and the more favors you can get. Unfortunately, we start with 10 Reputation, which isn't enough to purchase Renown.  We do have 100 Silver, though, meaning we can afford to purchase some equipment. Armor: Armor is expensive, because of course it is. Defenses in FantasyCraft don't follow the classic 3.5 "More armor makes you harder to hit" thing; Instead you have Defense, which is based on your Dexterity and own abilities, which enemies roll against to hit you. Then you have Damage Reduction, which is given by armor and some other effects, which reduces the damage done to you. Weapons: Weapons are fairly self explainitory. Some need multiple hands to hold, some Siege weapons are too large for a normal sized character to wield, while the more powerful weapons require a Forte to use. Bows and crossbow are special- rather than each individual bow and crossbow do different damage, damage is determined by the arrow used, with most arrows and bolts doing 1d6 damage. Bows determine range and give additional qualities. Guns, on the other hand, have damage determined by the weapon being used, but do vastly more damage in exchange for some combination of taking time to load, having the unreliable tag, or both. A Dueling Pistol will do 3d4 damage and crit on an 18-20, but will malfunction on the roll of a 1, 2 or 3, and takes 7 handle item actions to reload. Our Samurai has 100 Silver, which isn't much. What we can afford is a Short Bow to use on Horseback, a Cavalry Axe until they can afford/earn a Katana, and Partial Studded Leather Armor, leaving them with 5 Silver remaining. With that, beyond fluff, our character is finished. While I know some people have problems with FC's character creation, I think it's fun. The Last Orcish Samurai  Initiative: +4 Damage Reduction: 2 Defense: 11 (10+2(Dex)-1(Armor Defense Penalty)) Vitality: 13 Wounds: 13 Fortitude Save: 2 Reflex Save: 2 Will Save: 1 Cavalry Axe Attack: +4(2+1+1) to Hit, Crit on a 20, 1d8+3 Lethal Damage, AP 2 (ignores 2 DR), Cavalry (No Penalties when mounted) Shortbow Attack: +4(2+1+1) To hit, Crit on a 19-20, 1d6+2 Lethal Damage, AP 2 (Ignores 2 DR) with Standard Arrows, Poisonous (Can be poisoned), Cavalry (No Penalties when Mounted) 15 Arrows. Tricks:
Attributes:
Skills:

Feats:
Lifestyle: 2 Panache(+1 Appearance Bonus, 20s), 3 Prudence (30% Money Saved/Earned) Reputation: 10 Renown: 0 Interests: Orcish, Orkkaido Culture Study, Bushido Study, Equestrian Study.

Wapole Languray posted:Yeah sorry I realised in hindsight I didn't explain what Recruit does and used the name instead of "Attendent", I've fixed that up. They are both abilities on the same path, yes. Attendent gives you an NPC Fighter companion that's as tough as a PC and has three Fighter abilities (Counter Attack lets them... counter attack enemies on a failed attack, Wild Attack does bonus damage for a bigger downside if you fail your roll, Provoke makes an enemy attack you) so they're super helpful. Attendents cost 7AP to get but stay with you until they die or you do something really lovely to betray them and make them leave. Attendents are your faithful squires, loyal retainers, student learners, etc. It's basically, and I hate using this comparison, the time in Avengers when Captain America starts giving orders.
