Re: Kazei 5 Update

Re: Post-Apocalypse NPCs Someone's going to use something I built? (Well, converted.) I guess that means I did something right. I actually stripped out a few skills that didn't seem appropriate for the characters and substituted them with others. (I was worried I might have gone overboard with the Wasteland Raider.) And the four I've posted so far didn't have any Advantages and Compensations (what Perks/Talents/Powers and Limitations are called in Tank Girl) so I just added whatever I thought fit. The rest are all sample characters so most of those things will be from the book but I'm sure I'll have to add at least a few things. And I guess I better get to work now that someone has showed some interest. By the way, thanks for that link. That's exactly the kind of thing I was going to do. Or wanted to. And now it's all right there! I really can't thank you enough for that. I can already tell I'll be spending days going through all that stuff.

Re: Real World Books in Fictional Libraries Any submarine captain worth his salt should have 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea by Jules Verne in his library. Usually, though, I prefer coming up with fictional books.

Re: A Game Of Questions You're talking about the team that kept the Donkeys out of the playoffs last season, right?

Re: A Game Of Questions Why do I even bother?

Re: A Game Of Questions Does that mean you guys don't like Martin Mull?

Re: A Game Of Questions Don't you remember me mentioning that I have the movie on DVD?

Re: Post-Apocalypse NPCs :rofl:It sure looks that way, doesn't it. No, the cult leader is dependent on the worship of his followers. If they lose faith in him or stop worshiping him for any reason, he goes nuts.

Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? "Out of the Darkness" - Blue Oyster Cult

Re: Pulpy Art They're all great pieces but the undead pirate is just...WOW!

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Synchronicity: I just read a book called Limbo of the Lost by John Wallace Spencer. It's about The Bermuda Triangle and other areas where ships and planes have disappeared. The next book I grabbed to read was Rocket To Limbo by Alan E. Nourse. It's about a rocket ship sent out to find another ship that disappeared. Then I watched Blade Runner and saw this in the credits: With Thanks To William S. Burroughs And Alan E. Nourse For The Use Of The Title Blade Runner. I'm a firm believer that there's no such thing as coincidence, that everything happens for a reason. It's just hard to figure out the reason for something that seems so insignificant.

Re: Post-Apocalypse NPCs Why do you have to make trouble, pruttm? But since you insist, I'll try.

I'm assuming this template is for the humanoid animals because I don't see how a blob would learn how to use weapons or drive a car. Who would teach it? The book doesn't say. It doesn't list any mutations either, leaving it up to the GM to choose on a mutant by mutant basis. To make sure there were points available for mutations, I left out a few of the less important skills from the Tank Girl game. You can find mutations on pages 112-128 of Post-Apocalyptic Hero. Or, since this is Hero, you can give them any power you want and call it a mutation.

Some might be crusaders who force their beliefs on others. Some might be peaceful, not even knowing how to fight or use weapons. A cult like Those Who Have Experienced Hendrix probably wouldn't go around hurting people. If they did, though, they'd probably bash people with guitars and set things on fire. In which case you'll need this: Guitar: Hand-To-Hand Attack +4d6, Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2) (30 Active Points); OAF (-1), Hand-To-Hand Attack (-1/2), Required Hands Two-Handed (-1/2), Side Effects, Side Effect occurs automatically whenever Power is used (-2 OCV; -1/2), Real Weapon (-1/4), STR Minimum 5 (-1/4)
