Golden Bee posted:Hi, I'm making a fallout rpg. The first thing is to keep Luck as a stat, because tabletop games are exactly like computers and -- A luck stat is perfectly fine if it's actually used in the game, the rules are open about exactly when and how often you'd be able to roll it, and you can expect someone who builds around it to be as useful and viable as someone building around any other stat. That's obviously not what's going to happen in this case, but still, in theory, it's fine.

Golden Bee posted:A "stat" that represents luck seems pointless compared to: It's a stat. You roll +luck, or under your luck stat, or whatever your resolution mechanic is, to do certain things that are governed by luck. Just like you roll perception to perceive things, or charisma to influence people. The trick is in designing enough basic actions that are governed by your luck stat to justify having a luck stat. If you can't do this, having a luck stat is not a good idea.

I'm not sure why you'd want a WFRP1 retroclone when WFRP2 is straight up better in every way. It's not even like the switch from 2e to 3e where the system changed radically, WFRP2 is straight up just WFRP1 with better design and maths.

Has anyone had a chance to try Giga-Robo? The rulebook is available on the Kickstarter page and the game seems to basically be finished and the KS just there to do a print run, so it looks like no matter what, the game will actually ship this year, but I'm wondering how it actually plays since the cards aren't included.

Zanzibar Ham posted:Aha, so EU-friendly means either all the non-EU backers paid for it or the project makers did? That really sucks... I wish there were solutions to all the global shipping woes we have. EU friendly literally means nothing more than "shipped from inside the EU, therefore backers do not pay import fees." EU-friendly or not, someone has to pay sales tax on a sale made to the resident of a country with sales tax.

It is handled by a shipping company in bulk and goes to a fulfilment centre via a route that does not require them to pay additional fees to customs at the border, because the shipping company people ship stuff around the world for a living.

Zanzibar Ham posted:Okay. So basically the problem isn't actually import fees, but the fact they add VAT to anything that's worth around 20+ bucks (I remember some value close to that being the Magic Number Europeans mention)? I guess I'm lucky I don't have to pay VAT as long as what I ship is worth below $75, on the other hand I generally pay more for shipping. VAT is added to everything that isn't specifically VAT-exempt. The things that are VAT-exempt include books (but not e-books) as well as a variety of goods considered essential for living. The exact nature of what is VAT-exempt and what isn't varies from country to country, just like the exact VAT percentage (although it tends to be around 20% everywhere). Customs charges are levied on anything shipped to a country from outside that country that has a value above an amount that is, again, specific to each country. In the UK, the value is £15 for purchased items, and IIRC £35 for gifts. As EU member countries are part of a common market, the customs fees are waived when shipping things from one member country to another.

Whoops, realised I posted this in the Industry thread instead of here:quote:Has anyone ever heard of/read/played something called Tiny Frontier? A Kickstarter went up for the designer's new project, which is a standalone game of mechs vs. kaiju based off the TF system, and I'm curious if the base system is any good: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gallantknightgames/tiny-frontiers-mecha-and-monsters] Also: I've finally gotten a shipping notice for Burning Wheel Codex, so it looks like it's going out to EU folks soon/right now.

GrandpaPants posted:On the one hand, I really hope they make it to that $250k stretch goal. On the other, all my wasted effort with my own tuckboxes I printed out all of the tuckboxes for War + Fate on nice thick cardstock, built the boxes for War flight 1, then immediately gave up and ordered a bunch of blank pocker tuckboxes online instead. They're nice, but not having the character art on the front is pretty sad. This saves me from having to cut up the cardboard sleeves to glue them to the front of the box.
