I've never actually gotten to play a game since none of my friends are willing to put on their robe and wizard hat and step behind the screen. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I was kind of surprised the preview doc is 350 pages. The book is going to be an absolute monster.

I noticed kind of a idiosyncrasy with the default damage system, but apparently Taker's take more damage to their left side than their right side. I know he points out some weirdness, and suggests ways to fix it, but it just occurred to me and I though it was kind of funny..

As an alternative for those with more insane and inconvenient gaming schedules, I am going to be making a pbp Game for SA. We will probably be doing the create an enclave method. Still to help set up character concepts I am going to set up the state before hand. I am thinking Montana mainly so I can exploit my knowledge and familiarity of my own state. But before I go too far in setting things up I want to make sure that at least some of you would be interested in the location, I can always end up setting it in a another state.

Damage is best handled as a separate roll and I think the hit locations will change a bit for the final game.

paradoxGentleman posted:I'm in the same situation. A quick read through on the Wikipedia page should be enough, shouldn't it? Pretty much. I am also making a list of good locations for enclaves if people want it narrowed down. Main things that effect red markets is that Montana is the 4th largest state but the 44th in population. Loooong distances between most notable areas so I am probably going to give you a truck for free to begin with. If you break it though, it will be on the PCs to replace it.

Cross Posting from the various social Media Groups Roll20 Sheet open for basic Testing https://app.roll20.net/join/1473261/bNJ5Gg I made a folder in the campaign with test characters, go ahead and mess around with them to see if they work like they should and so you can provide basic feedback. Only thing really missing is the upkeep section, but other than that this should be feature complete. Once I get your guys feed back and I get the upkeep section in, I;ll look into submitting it to roll20. I can also provide the HTML and CSS files for other pro users to use if they don't want to wait just join the game and mess with them and tell me what you think Current HTML/CSS as of this posting: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0ipqxw8u071l0si/AADiBDt4SHgxE0TU-AGPSbQsa?dl=0 Twibbit fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Jul 26, 2016 |

I know "ripped from the headlines" plots might be less than tasteful, but the recent hullabaloo with companies jacking up the prices of epi-pens and insulin would make some great Score fodder.

clockworkjoe posted:Other Red Markets fodder: Li-fi is internet through light transmissions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li-Fi That would be great for an underground enclave or one made out of materials that limit WiFi transmission. It would also keep the DHQS out of your enclave's closed network. You could also throw in a curve ball that casualties can see the Li-Fi lights, even though they're probably not being transmitted at a level humans can perceive, and are attracted to them.

I was thinking about zombies the other night, and came up with an idea for spider zombies. For the most part they're what you would expect, they produce an excess of tendrils and use them to pull them selves about, whip and snare prey, or build vehicle stopping webs. On windy or stormy days, though, they like to gather at a good height and release large tangles of tendrils into the air to get snagged by the winds and pull them into the sky to glide off like Mary Poppins. I imagine a group of these infesting an area near the walls could be both scary and extremely lucrative.

Newest update was pretty much business as usual, but apparently the Best Practices section ballooned up to three or four times it's originally planned 30 pages. Rather than trying to hack it up to fit in the book it's going be released as a separate supplement .pdf. It's not going to cost anything extra to backers or any such nonsense, a physical release is possible down the line but won't be for some time.

Yeah I'm working on Best Practices now but the reason is more that other sections of the book have grown quite a bit so there's no way to fit everything in.

Father Wendigo posted:Is there an approximate timeline as to when/where non-backers can pick up a PDF or Physical copy? I don't believe so, they seem to be taking the it's done when it's done approach. But from the updates it appears they're trucking along at a good clip, so I wouldn't be too surprised to see it maybe by late spring or early summer. Drive Thru RPG is going to be fulfilling the backer items I believe, so it'll almost certainly be available there.

Caleb, Ross, this is one of the coolest loving art pieces i've seen yet. I realised I can just take a local road map, or even hand my players an old Refedex (fat city map book) and say "Heres the campaign map. Grab a pen" I'm thinking I should have gone for a higher pledge. Negative Entropy fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Mar 25, 2017 |

The backerkit is up, the pdf is finished, and the physical books are set to be shipped out in late August. The final page count ended up just shy of 500 pages, so it's a monster. There's also an official website and forum right now. Caleb got dicked over by the person hired to do it, so it's a little bare bones since he's doing it himself: redmarketsrpg.com (it acts screwy when I try to link it for some reason) If you wanted to back it but didn't get a chance you can pre-order it at: https://red-markets.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders I'm not sure if the pre-orders work the same, but once you fill out your info for backerkit you can download the final version of the .pdf.
