Verr posted:Is there anything along the lines of a Unknown Armies/Mage: The Awakening style hack? I'm interested in a game that allows "Mages" or whatever they might be called to start picking at the fabric of reality, confronting hubris and obsession in the search for power. Tbh, I've been thinking about something like that, though I doubt I've got the skill to make it.

So regarding a pbta mage game. definitely think that it would need to do a spirit of 77 style split during character creation. I've been trying to come up with some ideas for the mundane side of things. But I'm struggling to find insperation. Anyone got any ideas?

Verr posted:I haven't had a chance to read So77. But I agree, the "vanilla" start for Sleeping World is a Uknown Armies style cityscape in which the GM is encouraged to wreak havoc and push the players together. Yeah, that could be a good trade off. Especially if you give the player a bit of agency as to how much they swing one way or another. Although I was referring entirely to the character creation. In SO77, the payers pick a roll and a theme. So you could be a kung-fu / driver. Or a X-Tech / Vigilante. It can create an interesting dynamic and a lot of variations and options in character builds. But yes, I like the idea of the different magical focuses having their own problems to deal with. Especially if the other mages are messing with one another as well. Though that said, it would be nice to also be able to encourage team cohesion without one guy trying to split the group up. So possibly a playbook about keeping people together as well? Would need to see the workings of the playbook before really making a call on that one.

Verr posted:Yes, the player can definitely choose whether to remain grounded in their lives. And So77's sounds exactly what I was planning. The Liar / Tyrant! The Warrior / Unhinged! Guess I really need to get So77. How are the playbooks physically set up? Two double-sided pages each? One is your 'core' it gives you your look, stats, gear and basic class moves. It defines your major roll as such. Then you pick a theme. its more like a loose grab back of themed powers and bonus gear. I'll find a good example. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_5JoTJwAhskZ1pZNG5nS014cTA/view?usp=sharing Right so this is the main set up of the SO77 playbooks (I've disabled downloads) The first half is the main playbooks. The second half is the themes. Sadly it doens't show you all the options. you'd have to buy the rule book for those. But that's how it sets it up.

Or I'm trying to fake a robbery to trick three gangs of bikers, and I want to know how much cash I'm playing around with. My character background is something of an international mercenary so I'm curious if I can get hold of more cash than I start with because of this.

Covok posted:I was wondering if it was kosher to advertise stuff like that in relevant threads, but, yeah, I'm totally organizing one for Saturday at 7:00 PM EST. I can't give out any materials till everyone is in the game itself because of the terms of the playtest so it's a very general and easy app to make. For the record, I'm a very easygoing, improvisational GM who likes to let player's be awesome, world build, and have fun, if that helps. If it was pbp I'd gladly app, but sadly being in the UK I can never comit to these roll 20 games. All the same I wish you the best of luck!

It occurred to me recently that no one has made a cyber-punk game in the style of shadow run in this system yet. Which is a shame because as much as I like the shadow run setting, it's mechanics just baffle me. If someone made cyberpunk game I'd probably play the poo poo out of that.

I suppose you could do it so your gear gave you your stats. That way people could agonise over what equipment to take. But really that's just obuscating the matter rather than solving it.

Toph Bei Fong posted:If we end up with a more workable and playable version of the game for everyone else to enjoy, would that really be the worst outcome? That's certainly what I'm thinking. It's missing some pretty core stuff, like I'm not seeing a basic move that would allow someone to hurt another person, unless you're trying to steal something. But even then it's unclear if that's what that move is supposed to be for. Buncha tag explanations are missing, there's also some inconsistency in what you should be rolling. "Will" gets mentioned a few times, but I think that's supposed to be Warp? I like what they've got and I like their classes. I just feels like they skipped to the good bits and half arsed their core mechanics. For instance. You can only defy danger one way with one stat, Bold. When as far as I can see, every other game gives you an option for each stat.

Golden Bee posted:Who created the Daemon? Wow, I don't normally like Monster Hears, It doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. But I can appreciate what they're doing with that one. Just the whole taking damage mechanic to get successes on roles. That's pretty awesome. Whoever made that one really should have signed it.

Covok posted:I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way, but that's sort of how my game, Dungeon Bastards, has handled its move structure and how Vincent is experimenting with AW: 2nd Edition. Since I don't know if I can talk about Vincent's work in detail, I'll talk about my own title. My game handled the "1 move to 1 scene" by basically just giving you big, overarching effects to a move that narrate out once a move happens. It's inspired by pbta, not pbta, so it runs off a "once a move triggers, you resolve it and use your successes (if any) to narrate out effects from a list provided by the move." I'd just like to take a moment and say this post made me go and buy Dungeon Bastards. Which I now love. So thanks very much for that.
