Just got my hardback copy, so excited. I've also ordered some Doublesix Dice, because it's been my experience that putting your fate in the hands of one single cube that doesn't roll very well just isn't satisfying enough. There's a reason most games either go d20 or dice pool. I've seen them IRL, they look fine. Then I went a little overboard and ordered a couple of 3D-printed 24-sided dice, because why stop at twelve, right? I'm much more skeptical of their fairness, whatever the product description may say, but I'm giving them a chance. Also, coincidentally, I recently discovered that lab-grown rubies, unlike lab-grown diamonds, are pretty cheap. And all this time I've been using plastic or cardboard for my boardgame money. They have arrived, and Strike! is going to be the first game I use them with, as action points. I'm pimping up my game, is what I'm saying.

Could you share the editable files, whatever you used to make those pics?

Countblanc posted:I could not, as they don't exist. I made them when I was on my laptop over break and had no real tool available so I literally just painted over the cards in the appropriate places in paint.net and added text. I can probably make an editable sheet tomorrow though.

I mean, it wouldn't be the first time in Strike! that a concept ends up being used to define both a class and a role.

In the video game, the vast majority of the tech tree (and of most things you can buy in-base) are just bigger damage, more HP, and occasional feat-like bonuses. The special abilities come mostly from soldiers leveling up. As boring as that sounds, it ends up satisfying in play because it makes the urgency of the tech race very clear. Why the change?

That's what I thought you meant, but I'm still curious as to why you'd do this instead of what the XCOM video game does.

Rogue: Why does it use the wording "[this] movement does not grant Opportunities" instead of Shift?

megane posted:I'd be quite interested to hear about the playtester characters -- like what their builds & backstories were. An entire party of one class sounds kinda cool. I had a few ways to disengage or go Hidden/Invisible, which, combined with Sprinter, meant I could set up pretty much any flank I wanted at any time. Goddamn is Sprinter good. I didn't exploit it as much as is theoretically possible because it's bothersome to interrupt people's turns in online play, especially with English as a second language. I also had the old version of Subtle Shot which was supposed to work well with the Hidden powers, but there was never any reason to use it. I'm glad it's gone.
