Don't be a wuss, he's still doing the $100 Executive Package. The preview made me bust out laughing, so I'd love to see this get printed and talk my new group into it some off-week. Plus a signed hardback would be sweet as hell. Still needs about 600 dollars, though. Hopefully he gets it.

I read it through and the system seems pretty neat. I'm not totally sure what sort of game you'd use it for, though. It looks like something more modern.

I'm just going to say that this conversation about the backstory is what pushed me over the line of ordering Edit: Durr, brain work good. Echophonic fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Dec 3, 2014 |

Evil Mastermind posted:The Unknown Armies 3e Kickstarter is live. $100 gets you all three books in physical and digital format. The drafts are available in the first update. 52k and a Kickstarter "projects we love" badge. Not too shabby. I'm getting it all.

SunAndSpring posted:So how are the mechanics changing in this edition? The one that jumps out at me is that the core stuff seems more like FATE or 13th Age approaches and stunts/aspects than a normal crunchy percentile skill system. So you have your UA stress tracks (Violence, Helplessness, Self, Isolation, and Unnatural) and your fallback 'skills' are based on your open and hard marks in said tracks. Each has an upbeat and a downbeat ability. Violence, for example, has Connect based on open marks and Struggle for hardened. So you get worse at dealing with people like a normal person as you get more inured to violence and savagery. At the same time, you have 2-4 identities that can be used in place of a specific ability and grant other perks, like protecting gauges and knowing how to shoot/forge/electrician your way out of problems. Like, if you're a Lawyer, you can use that to obfuscate, inveigle, and deceive instead of Lie (which is based on hardened notches in Self). Or you can say "of course I can fast-talk my way through this, I'm a lawyer" and just get away with it for more basic stuff. In addition to your basic abilities and identities, you have relationships with people and organizations. These are typed (mentor, guru, favorite, etc) and can be used to protect gauges and the like. This also includes most interaction rolls with said person. I'm not as deep into UA as a lot of folks to talk about the real deep differences, but this definitely seems like a much cleaner system.

Jenx posted:Oh yeah, and have fun mining the ore with your home-made pick axe...which you also had to make from something you got yourself. Basically you need to go full Minecraft on this thing, and at the end, as you hold this gun in your hand and try and fire it, and it turns out it's actually useless? Well, though luck - time to start over. That's obsession for you.

Oh, Speed Grapher has issues, alright. But yeah, it's very UA in how it approaches power and obsession and trauma and how that shapes your worldview.

LaSquida posted:So most people who read this thread are probably aware, but in case you aren't: Greg Stolze's latest kickstarter for Terminarion Shock is struggling to fund. He really needed to put up at least another post on Different Trouble or any posts at all on the original Termination Shock KS. That's like, the audience most likely to give you more money. I backed Different Trouble and totally missed the update. Echophonic fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Jun 9, 2023 |
