Narf the Mouse

Re: Answers & Questions Q: ...I guess we'll have to call it the 'Toppled Tower of Pisa'. A: These ones don't eat brains.

Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat "...It's not easy finding a zombie T-Rex..."

Re: Answers & Questions Q: Did you hear? They're doing a Star Trek, Stargate and Star Wars crossover movie.

Re: Human Power Generator Sounds more like a Phys Lim to me.

Re: Campaign: Pulling The Fangs That looks way high, but I haven't checked the sheet yet - Brain doesn't wanna wake up. Can someone do a sanity-check on my SP rewards Here with respect to my 'monetary system' Here? Thanks.

Re: Narf's Fantasy Stuff Would a Conditional Modifier to represent the general lack of Essence for the spells work? I'm thinking 'Very Common'. In any case, on the whole, it does not look balanced (Numbers notwithstanding) - The character is going to lag behind the other characters and not be able to fire off near as many spells. While flavourfull, it's mechanics leave something to be desired - Especially since the character still has to pay END.

Re: Yeah, I went there!

Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat Cheesy movies.

Re: Narf's Fantasy Stuff I'm not sure 'any [special effect] power' works - does 'being a Characteristic' count as a 'special effect'? I've changed the side effect to the new version. Edit: The spells are now rather costly, though. A high RP cost and a high 'Essence' cost don't go together well, methinks.

Re: Campaign: Pulling The Fangs @Kor: Thanks for doing the calculations for me and, could you re-post that in my generic 'fantasy stuff' thread, to keep all the OT's straight? While it is potentially applicable to this campaign, it's in essence a generic system for use where-ever a magic system is needed, so its scope is somewhat wider than this thread. Thanks.

Re: Campaign: Pulling The Fangs Er...As far as I know, it's within the CV - 4-8; the vampires had an OCV of 7. Unless that's supposed to be total CV? In which case, yeah, it's way over.

Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat "Isn't you a nice T-Rex? Isn't ooo?"

Re: Campaign: Pulling The Fangs Sir Garnsworth has a wee bit of a yearning for 'days of old', so his opinion on 'newfangled stuff' might not be entirely accurate. However, things like cannons are still in the stage where, apparently, they were made out of such things as brass bars welded together, with iron rings around them. Hit locations are usable, but us newbies aren't thinking of them. Oops. Any chance I could get the missing beginning? Post it here or something?

Re: Answers & Questions Q: "Look at it! Just look at it! I almost conquered the world! The world!" A: ...And their dog, too.

Re: What would be involved in using Hero system to run a wargame? Ah, thanks.

Re: Narf's Fantasy Stuff Presenting: A rough draft of 'Essense Magic' - The art of shaping your personal essense into a spell (-1 CP to a Characteristic per 60 AP in the cast spell). While 'smaller' spells (30- AP) can be shaped out of 'free-floating' essense, any spell of real power comes at the cost of your own capabilities (Characteristics). However, the power of this magic is such that it can accomplish feats no other school of magic can (No AP limit).

Re: What would be involved in using Hero system to run a wargame? What's 'Mordhiem'?

Re: Campaign: Pulling The Fangs Chat logs for session #1, Practice.

Re: What would be involved in using Hero system to run a wargame? On the main Hero Games site, there's a character vault under the 'Hero Designer' menu (You need a current HD subscription). Upload the character there and it'll give you an ID #. Then just [ hd = ID # ] Text [ / hd ]

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... I don't know about my players, but I like this bit of colour from my vampire hunter game practice run: Acheron (Dual-wielding nobleman) looks in the window of an inn that vampires are holed up in: GM: The window looks a bit reddish. GM: On the inside. Acheron: "Bloodspray. Can't see through it." Soor Choia (Mysterious, CG spellcaster): "Damn, Well only one course of action then" GM: And then something mockingly knocks out 'shave and a haircut' on the window...

Re: Campaign: Pulling The Fangs Ok, Yahoo Messenger has decided it hates me, so meet me in the 'Vampire Hunt' chat room on HeroCentral, ok?

Re: Campaign: Pulling The Fangs Campaign starts in 17 minutes.

Re: Campaign: Pulling The Fangs Your magical robes barely qualify at the upper end of 'cheap magical items'; they're 'Uncommon', by what I wrote, so 3 sp. Not that important. If they had a single point more of PD or ED, they'd go to 'Rare' and that'd be a whole different ball-game. Only thing left is that powers normally draw off either personal reserve or an endurance reserve. If you want them to work off your endurance reserve, there's a drop-down in each power (It toggles off of wether there is an endurance reserve in the powers section).

Re: What would be involved in using Hero system to run a wargame? I created a set of 'modern' units for 'Wargame HERO': Edit: Ok, a bit of a problem: It's not showing the DEF. Armour is 4, both Artileries are 2 and the Fighter and Bomber are both 0.

Re: Campaign: Pulling The Fangs Hmm...Yeah, some help might be needed to fit things in the rough guidelines, although I did make them to do away with extensive lists of 'stuff'...
