Boll Weevil

Thank you for writing this up. I have been playing Star Wars Rebellion (PC 1995 ish) again lately and would love to run a force-light (if at all) Star Wars game where the players would play out the missions with the flavor of the game. I could imagine a single night of roleplaying where the team just needs to blow up a shield generator or shipyard. Also, after watching Ahsoka I am finally watching Rebels from the beginning which feels the same as Rebellion missions.

I knew I could count on you :). Thanks! Time to go buy some books.

Hi, heroes. I was wondering which, if any, published ages from Fantasy hero would look most familiar to players of D&D or similar games? I have Valdorian, Turakian and Atlantan age books. I see some other sourcebooks like the grimoire etc. What Age are those books made for?

Oops, sorry. I was on mute.

I like it. My namesake character, Boll Weevil, would be literally too crazy to die.

I'd like to see a simple knockback calculator. Input distance traveled and what lies behind (wall 10 meters, 5pd 10 body). Calculate total distance traveled and damage.

Welcome back!

Thanks for the explanations. I guess my confusion was that it was always mentioned as a martial maneuver and not listed in core rules. I like the idea and it does simulate something I see in comics often. Like many of the "brick tricks", I plan to allow it in my games as a thing anyone with the right set of powers/skills/situation can do.

Then it is settled. Champions Battleground II shall include Pee Wee's Playhouse.

I wonder if anyone here has tried to build an object (walls, floors, computer banks, bank vaults, etc) as a character in HD? I understand that walls would be difficult since you would need to make a separate record for each location but it would be an interesting experiment. You could then include the elements of the environment into a Combat Record and have that available as a target in the Combat Manager. Since an object wouldn't have a SPD, it wouldn't come up in the combat order. All you would need to add is PD and ED with any applicable rDef or Power Defense. You could eve add Powers like force fields and such. Sure, the "character" would have the default characteristics of STR, SPD etc but those can be ignored. Is this a weird thing to do, I can't tell any more.

Forgive me if this is a distraction from the thread but could someone please explain what exactly a Flying Dodge is? In real world terms, what is it a character is trying to do? I have seen Flying Dodge talked about but never knew what it was. Thanks!

Hi, Steve. It just occurred to me I have been on this board since the beginning and have never posted a question here I have been using Hand Attack adders (eg. +4d6 HA) for years and, for some reason, this question had never come up. Say I have a character with 10 STR (so, 2d6 punch) with a +4d6 HA adder defined as an electric shock gauntlet. My normal punch would be defensible with PD but my HA is defined as vs ED. Do I now have a 6d6 punch vs ED or do I have to split the damage between PD & ED?

There was an Elrod of Melvinbone in the Cerebus comic. Always one of my favorites.

I have snacks.
