Because Bruce Lee is no Joke.

I still have the full range of minis in blister packs; I bought them during AIT, and never had a chance to do a thing with them. Every now and then I see them in the box I have them in (along with random minis for AD&D, mostly Grenadier company stuff that I never got around to doing aught with).

Is there a character sheet anywhere for this game?

Vrykolas2k

GM does not care if you play, you are an extra to his all important NPC!! The reason I write fiction is so my main character(s) can be the star of the show. I dislike it when GM's runs a NPC as the only important character, your PC's are just tagging along. I have GMed for 30+ years and hopefully I...

The GM says "I AM GOD!!! THIS IS MY GAME!!!"
I may have met the actual game designer...
Anyway, those ego-maniacs usually end up being the worst, combining features of rail-roader, inconsistent rules-maker, and favourites-player... amongst others.

Pretty nice, trying to figure out why it takes 2 pages though.
Maybe need more room for equipment?

Get used to the joys of a game system that's a bit more complicated than D&D 3.x and so on. Sometimes simplicity isn't the answer... Anyway, I never do pre-made characters when I run, except for NPCs. People usually like to make their own characters, and you're not going to make a character the ...

Sorry i do not have it in my hand but it is there. Nor a pdf to copy paste from. Believe me or not. Thats up to you. Pseudo-intellectuals are marked by being too lazy to do their own research.

I just ignore everything about the Xiticix that came out after World Book: 23. Which means Holmes and company were turned into protein paste a long time ago in my world.

Then the rifts happened. Society took a snooze for a few hundred years, then clawed it's way back up. trhe CS developed the new system and gave it an old name. Or same name. More likely the CS claims to have developed the system, but in reality is nothing more than a repackaged Pre-Rifts system (II...

I ran a rescue mission sponsored by Katrina Sun (Isis) to rescue her friend from the Yucatan last time I GMed. The PCs were a small merc outfit, 9 of them, and 3 made it back...

Really, everyone, it's another OCC.
Does a Wolfen Ley Line Walker lose his senses when he becomes one?
No.
So when he becomes a Cosmo-Knight, the same senses are retained.
The same goes for any other racial abilities like that.

Not really into house rules. Really the only one I have is, play what you want to play; in general I don't even let the players talk about their characters before the game begins, which avoids the whole "niche-filling" trope. Well most of the house rules I have seen in the game were mostl...

If anybody wants a good idea of what a slave is then read up on Rome. Skin color didnt matter black, white all were equally worth as slaves to get down on thier hands and knees and do whatever is required. to have no freedoms, no rights no voice or oppinion. to kill a slave is destroy property not ...

actually, after them being pointed out to me, i went on a research binge to find out more. they weren't in Normandy.. they were on the southern shore of the Baltic, the area of modern Pomerania. and their town was Jomsborg. Normandy was settled by vikings under Hrólfr "the Walker", son of...

i didn't know of those Jomsvikings ... which bugs me because my master's in history had a focus on northern europe in that period. but that one looks like it might be a fun one to use as a base, then i can add in some elements from the other groups i've looked at. The Jomsvikings were based in Joms...

Hm yeah, "this curse does NOT work on mortals" isn't mentioned under the Death Demon class, just the curse... At least it presumably costs a heavy deific investment to get that nat20 only attack going, especially since he's merely a prince. Something scary I noticed in Pantheons. You know...

I'd have a fairly complicated plan involving an adult dragon's normal human servitors visiting Chi-Town on "vacation" for a year or two, taking pictures, finding out Prosek's planned public speech dates, and so on... then the dragon casts various protection spells on himself, t-ports in to...

Ooo, scary mind powerz.
Never mind the fact they're easily saved against, and the effects don't last an excessively long time.
Bio-manipulation in any form really isn't that fearsome.

Even without the glow, night time is still not a good time to be moving around. Zeds have pretty good - if short ranged- night vision, are attracted to moving lights (torches, headlights etc) which they will see from afar and still have their life and scent sensing abilities. Which is why you don't...

A member of an RCC can apparently become an OCC, just like you can take an OCC and then later change to another.
There are several NPC examples of this sort of thing happening.

Vrykolas2k

Unless a maneuver or ability specifies that it does not require an action to use (trained parry, auto-dodge, etc.), with the exception of very simple skill checks, it requires an action. On a case by case basis, I would be willing to discuss other totally effortless effects being free to perform. T...

Being human supremacist doesn't mean you necessarily treat all of humanity equally. Looking IRL, racial supremacists certainly don't do that. You can care for all humanity while still realizing that resources are scarce, security is delicate, and protecting people must be done at a measurable rate....

Vrykolas2k

Hail humanity?
Not so much.
If it was thus, the 'Burbs wouldn't exist, all of those humans would be citizens.
And the CS might be moving them to newly claimed territories someplace relatively safe as well.

Vrykolas2k

It could go either way.
I like the CS as a part of the setting as originally portrayed, but can't stand how they are now, and generally despise their fan-boys.
Joseph II supports the Vanguard, but I think his father would have them expunged if he ever found any evidence of them.

Vrykolas2k

Yeah, radio/radar jamming is great. The CS usually makes pretty extensive use of that on special operations, usually when hunting down those who do it to them. Though, i don't believe the CS should be invincible or always super tough and skilled. Sometimes they really are the world's punching bag. ...

What the editors need to check for is repetition.
For instance, some of the more recent books I've been reading state something, then in another paragraph or two re-state it.
There are also a lot of sentence fragments for some reason.

Vrykolas2k

Radio jamming is one tactic we use when we ambush CS troops. By the time the base figures out something's wrong, we've already gotten away with the loot/ captives.

The 2nd Dominator Devastator sure seemed superior to the original in my view.

And yet it's guns are still less powerful than what an infantryman can field.

Fencing weapons. Rapier, saber, epee, main guache, buckler. Expanding this fleet footed deceptive style to include longswords, katana, claymores, or other non fencing weapons is laughable.

Eli. You are incorrect. Your race is fallen knight. Mindmelter your pcc warrior of valhalla is an add on. Or more pacifically. Your fallen knight is now a Mindmelter Warrior of Valhalla.

So a fallen Cosmoknight Mindmelter Warrior of Valhalla is a perfectly legal player character. Yea thats awesome. IF your GM rules that cosmo-knights are still human, and if they have "worshiped Odin for a long time" sure. IF your GM decides that being turned into a cosmo-knight means your...
