I was going to photoshop up a completed character sheet, but I'm feeling lazy, so just pretend I posted it.

quote:Strain is a hybrid system that blends narrativist story-telling with simulationist combat. The combat is not quite crunchy, but it has a bite to it. Combat is modular, so if you prefer a purely narrative system, you do not have to use the combat rules. Critical hit: sensors.

suffer a blackened birth into a desolate realm of surreal horror Also: quote:There is no skill list. Characters are made with 5 randomly rolled background words. I have to admit, "randomly roll five words and throw the resulting terrible little guy through a metalhead ninth-grader's math notebook doodle world" sounds like it would be fun for about ten minutes. Maybe fifteen?

I like that kickstarter to be honest. It's really specifically on target - if you're not really into black metal it's not going to work for you, but it looks like it does that really well. You'd need a group willing to listen to Blut Aus Nord or whatever during it.

God that thing reminds me of the stupid racist heartbreaker made by the murderer from Mayhem. This does give me a chuckle though: "The greatest inspirations for this world are Cormac McCarthy's The Road, satanic black metal, and ancient Mesopotamia. This is not another dark fantasy of Tolkien's, Lovecraft's, or Martin's influence. This is a survival horror game at its core." poo poo yeah give me more Mesopotamian influences in media and poo poo. That's not a joke. The rest of it makes me laugh a little, just not that part.

I think looking at this as Shadowrun but you're the cops" is the wrong angle when it's obviously "Alien nation but with fantasyland"

Its not really Shadowrun at all though. It is 100% Training Day/End of Watch cop movie in LA. They just had David Ayer make the movie he's good at making but with orcs and magic.

Suicide Squad was an insanely bad movie and while I liked Fury it's the exception in a really bad slump since Training Day so I'm not that excited for another David Ayer movie/series

A Night's Work is my second favorite 90s low-budget RPG tie-in video. (The first is a tie between Dragonstrike and Wildspace.)

I'm glad they were play-accurate what with the decker going off on their own for half the entire thing for a bizarre nonsense adventure through terrible metaphors to do what amounts to "wardial a password and download a file". Those graphics looked really familiar even though I've never seen this before. Did they pay some low-rent 3D animator to make that poo poo, and then reuse shots of it for the 2nd edition core book?

It's how I sold an RPG newbie on Shadowrun (of course using my SW hack rather than actual shadowrun, would never subject a new player to that)

Anytime I see these kinds of representations of cyberspace, I just remind myself: there's no way it can be as bad as BloodNet. oriongates posted:It's how I sold an RPG newbie on Shadowrun I think I picked this up on the forums, but my basic understanding of character generation in Shadowrun is 'you want to be rolling at least 10 die for something you're supposed to be good at'. So yeah, get ready for combat to slog like hell because everything requires a fistful of d6s. Either that or force your group to use a digital die roller which takes all of the busywork out of it (meaning that it is good). I think it's very telling when the computer adaptations of Shadowrun, which would be perfectly suited to that kind of number crunching, abandon the system entirely.

Is there a game that's otherwise similar to the dungeon crawl-ish D&D/pathfinder/OSR vibe*, but where each player's "character" is a small (2-4 character) team instead of an individual? Preferably with rules that do something with the concept, as opposed to being basic D&D but everyone gets 3 PCS or whatever. *You know, with dwarfs and wizards and magic swords and going in dungeons and fighting orcs and stuff.

A bit like that, but extended throughout the game. WIth teamwork combos and stuff building up as you level.
