There's no stat-block for it, so I had to make one, but the current player group has a couple of retired Marines in it and as soon as they saw an amphibious transport they were like 'we want that'

Hey guys, got another question about threat, advantage, triumph, and despair: Do threat/despair effects only benefit players and advantage/triumph effects only benefit NPCs? Or does it depend on who rolls the dice? The rules in the beginner set are pretty clear about how to use those effects when the players are rolling dice, but they seem a little difficult for me to grasp when it comes to minions and rivals making skill checks. For example, if I'm attacking as a Gamorrean thug in the beginner's game and net two advantage, does that mean the player the Gamorrean is attacking get to regain lost strain? Or does that mean the Gamorrean gets to activate the advantage (not that there's much it can do with just 2 advantage)? And if advantage goes to whoever rolled it, does that mean when an NPC rolls threats the PCs get to choose how to apply them? FuriousAngle fucked around with this message at 05:55 on Jan 14, 2017 |

It belongs to whoever rolls it. So, advantage in your example would be used to give a boost to a character allied with the Gammorrean or a setback to an opposed character or etc etc. You still get to determine how they take threats and despairs, but I know our GM mostly does it to reduce decision paralysis and overthinking things. For despair by itself by an NPC, he's usually receptive to ideas.

Thank you for clarifying that! One more thing, though: If threats are used to cause strain, and minions take damage instead of strain, does that mean threats can be used to cause damage? And would that damage go straight through their soak scores?

FuriousAngle posted:That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for clarifying that! Yes and yes. It happens rarely, since you can usually outlet it into setbacks/their cover/etc, but it's not affected by normal soak. An NPC may have something like Resolve which would work against it like normal. Most of this stuff I've double-checked in the rules, though, because they're pretty core to the game but you don't see them very often.

kingcom posted:I don't know why people keep spreading that rumour but they constantly are using and referencing Legends stuff. The relationship Disney has with the Star Wars EU stuff isn't even really "that which shall not be named," it's more "none of this stuff is canon unless we say it is, and if we decide to use it that's our prerogative but it still doesn't mean anything else to do with this stuff is canon." FFG can use all the EU stuff they want that they can get permission from Disney to use, they still have to get stuff vetted before it goes to print, but otherwise they're free to do so while Disney is free to say that it's all alt-universe stuff and certainly aren't going to let themselves be beholden to any of it when it comes to making new movies, comics, TV shows, etc.

So, where are all the places that have lightsaber construction rules? I know of the F&D core book stuff and the hilt stuff in the F&D GM screen book. Do the splatbooks have additional attachments and whatnot? What about different crystals? It's a drat shame that FFG isn't maintaining an index for all this garbage, considering their strategy of sprinkling everything across a dozen books like so much confetti. (I do know of the viluppo index, but it goes 9-12 months between updates since it's just regular guys.)

Endless Vigil, the Sentinel splatbook, has detailed lightsaber construction rules. Crystal rules are kind of scattered across various FaD books, each career book gets a couple.

So. Pretty much whatever I GM, I have to get a little sauced. I'm just kind of a reserved guy and it's hard to do the voices and the improv playacting without a buzz going on. That's just me. Two of our players are a couple who brings their 4-year old kid, and she amuses herself and watches movies, or in future seshes when my kids are there they can do a play date. During an intermission, I came out wearing a Kylo Ren mask and brandishing a toy lightsaber. And I say to the toddler in my evilest Dark Side Spaceman voice: "I am the EVIL Kylo Ren. I am master of the Knights of Ren, and am made to kiss Lena Dunham on the HBO Series Girls!" Now this kid is pretty hyper and cheerful and gets along with me well enough, but I can tell right away that her eyes have gone wide with actual terror, she's seconds from tears, and my plan to amuse her has backfired. I rip off the mask and instantly change to a comforting tone: "No kid, it's just me, Pac-Manioc Root! No one has to kiss Lena Dunham! Ever! It's all pretend!" We all still get a laugh at that one.

Yeah I wasn't doing it for the game proper, just amusing a kid. It's a bit of booze that lets me become another person. I ran a sort of stripped down version game for my daughter a bit back and she loved it. The basics of system is so easy to pick up my 6 year old was assembling dice pools no problem after a couple rolls. Next session I plan to have a solid ship-to-ship setpiece for the Ace to shine, but studying up the maneuvers and actions are a bit less intuitive than ground stuff. I'll have to find a cheat sheet.

I'll have to find a cheat sheet. A couple things that took a couple read-throughs of the space rules to jump out at me: The Fly/Drive maneuver is only for when you wants to move between range bands, if the PC is dogfighting a TIE and neither leaves Close range, Fly/Drive is unnecessary. Normally, the target of an attack gets to choose which arc is targeted. If a character succeeds a Gain the Advantage action, they get to choose the targeted arc instead. If you choose the rear arc, that puts you narratively behind the target, therefore that enemy can't shoot back while GtA is in effect unless it has a rear-facing weapon. So successfully Gaining the Advantage on a TIE means that it can't shoot at you on its next turn.

A fellow goon who plays in the game encouraged me to post, but now that I re-read it's sort of a "you had to be there" thing and just reads as a shaggy dog story about scaring a toddler. I am sorry for it, as I am for all my posts on these dying forums. Moose King posted:A couple things that took a couple read-throughs of the space rules to jump out at me: This is good to know, and didn't jump out to me when I was reading through the section. GtA seems to be the go-to "I'm dogfightin'" maneuver then. I think having a bunch of X-Wing minis is going to be helpful for a small furball, probably between a U and X-Wing versus a couple-few TIEs. Not so much moving them around tactically, but positioning to indicate who has successfully "GtA"'ed on who.

What book's got VT-49 Decimator stats? Adding a single EOTE/AOR statcard to each X-Wing ship's retail packaging would be a cool value add and potentially generate cross-promotional interest. I would buy a whole deck of the things. I've been finding the adversary decks immensely helpful.

So I have the opportunity to run SWRPG for some friends from work who have never played an RPG before. I figured I'd roll up some pregens and run one of the published adventures and I'm trying to decide which one to run. I have the three core books and the EotE GM screen adventure, so it will probably be one of those. One guy wanted to see some Force stuff so, I'll probably have a Force user pregen, even if I run one of the other adventures. Anyone have thoughts on what would be good?
