Elfface posted:So, what are good Transhumanist games? Eclipse Phase is nice, but might be the most complicated non-parody rules system ever created. Plus you spend a whole bunch of stuff on gear and then find out you're being sent as an ego across the galaxy on a mission, so you need to go shopping again with a different budget. Still gonna say Freemarket. You've got four pools of things, allocated differently based on character creation: - your Geneline, which is always available and reflects the potentials built into you with a series of descriptors - your Experience, which is always available and reflects the things you've done on-station. Everything that needs a test has its own experience category. - your Technology, which is limited per session and reflects all the cool poo poo you have to help you with things, limited by its experience category and possibly tags. - your Interface, which is limited per session and represents your cyberbits that let you interface with tech, limited by experience category and tags like tech is. You flip cards from two decks and aim for some number of successes, generally to beat the GM. The general deck has 15 failure cards and 30 successes: 10 experience successes which only apply if you have a matching experience, 10 geneline successes which only apply if you have a relevant descriptor in your geneline, and 10 Freemarket successes which always work. You can always hope for Freemarket or your tech to carry you through something you're not suited for or skilled at. The tech deck has 10 failure cards and 10 successes. You only bring it in if you mark off a use of tech, and you can mark off a use of a a relevant interface to reflip failures.

paradoxGentleman posted:There actually is a system to play a Slice of Life sort of game whose mechanics even encourage you to do so and stay within genre. Oh, here I thought you were going to offer up  since Chuubo's is about playing out genre fiction and Pastoral is a genre but it's not the ONLY genre. Nickel summary: there are like 20 core "XP Actions" you can frame scenes around, and which ones are generally available depends on the genre you want to play.

Lichtenstein posted:If you're talking about Mr. Stolze, expect to face divine retribution. Soon. For the record, the screed that may or may not be in question: Unknown Armies posted:Somewhere out there is someone who had loving parents, watched clouds on a summer’s day, fell in love, lost a friend, is kind to small animals, and knows how to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you,’ and yet somehow the two of you are going to end up in a dirty little room with one knife between you and you are going to have to kill that human being.
