Hey all,

 

I was checking out the Power Sets: Brick by Paul Stefko and I thought it was a great article.

 

For those that have seen it, I have a question for you on the Energy Absorber: Do you do not need a separate Power Quality to generate and store the charges?

 

I would have thought that the Defends would stop the damage and then a separate Useful Power Quality would be Attached to the Defends to generate and store the charges.

 

Is that not how it works?  Does not each Quality have a single function/purpose?

 

In a previous post, I asked about how to build Audrey "Powerhound" O'Niel from the Grim War setting.  I didn't get any and answers and this is right along those lines.

 

I'm obviously still working on the nuances of the rules and I appreciate all the help that I can get.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone-

During tonight's class we will look at several common moves that give
double-digit kyu players big headaches; such as the monkey jump and the
double-hane. We will discuss why you would want to make these moves in
the first place and introduce the most common patterns for dealing with
them when your opponent plays them on you. I hope to see you there!

Double-Digit Kyu Class
6:30 pm-8:30 pm, Mondays at the SGC.

As usual, there is no additional fee for the class, and all new players
get 10 free visits to the Go Center.

Or cancel out the Permanent Extra with four points of Flaws on the emulated power!

~Daniel

Extras and Flaws on a Quality with Variable Effect do not carry over to the emulated power!  They only apply to the meta-power.

It was my interpretation that when the rules stated "The target can attempt to avoid Nullify with a defense roll as if you were attacking," I took defense to mean Dodge, Block or Defending with a Power, but not a passive defense like LAR or HAR.  I also took "avoid" to not get hit or touched by the Nullify at all.

Right. Nullify is not a physical attack, it's a Useful effect. You can try to avoid its effects by getting out of the way or resisting it with your hyperbrainpower or whatever fits the situation. But unless I'm misremembering something, I probably wouldn't apply armor to it.

Nullify isn't an attack, it's a Useful Quality.  If HAR applied to non-attacks, there would be not point to Immunity.

I think Zipperneck has Immunity as well, which is a whole 'nother kettle of fish.

Extras and Flaws on a Quality with Variable Effect do not carry over to the emulated power!  They only apply to the meta-power.

I believe that both the table and the rolls should be had in secret to maintain the atmosphere of the game.  Say, a group of helpless survivors come across a cache of supplies, you wouldn't want your players being disappointed because, even though they got a gun and more than enough ammunition, the could have gotten a machine gun.  Finding supplies in a zombie apocalypse would be tantamount to salvation in the minds of the survivors and is part of the fun of the genre, one should be careful not to sully it for the players.

I personally think that this table (and the rolls themselves) should be kept secret for greatest effect.  That way, should a group of impoverished, starving survivors don;t find a cache of supplies, roll, and be disappointed because they rolled poorly, the elation of finding supplies in tantamount to salvation and should remain that way in the minds of the players, no matter what they get.

Hotjets,

Does anyone else think that Nullify is a bit over powered?  After reading Progenitor and what happens to Zipperneck, a Tier 3, by a Tier 10, I think maybe it is.

 

How do you use/manage it in your game?

Strictly from a rules standpoint, Zipperneck should not have been affected by the relatively weak Nullify that resulted in his death. I don't have Progenitor handy, but the Nullify was, IIRC, 2hd. Zipperneck, according to the rules for Nullify should have resisted with his (best) defense, which was, what, 10hd in HA? No way that 2hd Nullify beats that! And the range was, what, 20 yards? Was Zipperneck really only 60 feet away?

If the target can resist with their best defense, Nullify shouldn't be that much of a problem, unless it has loads of hard and/or wiggle dice. 

I love Progenitor as a setting, and the art is very evocative, and the writing is a pleasure, but I have issues with some of the power builds there.

Remember, Variable Effect works this way:

1. Miracle with Variable Effect rolls as an action, succeeds, you dedicate dice to emulated effect
2. You declare an action for your emulated effect and roll for it (if applicable)

If you want step 1 to not require a declared action and a set, it needs to be Permanent so it can go off "automatically" when the Attached condition is met, without a declared action (and accompanying set).

Dear Go Players,

The "Real Beginners" class will be taught tonight, Thursday, by Scott Arnold. This class is for people who are just starting out, and have not progressed to playing on a 19x19 board yet. New players are welcome to drop by. Class is from 7-9 p.m.

The Go Center will be open from 2-9 p.m. today, Thursday. Members may continue to play while Scott is teaching the class.

Cheers,
Brian

 Hey all,

A PC of mine wants to have a character with Power Nullification with Variable Effect built into a focus.  This is a second set of powers that build on my earlier post "How to Build a Better Demonic Soul-Sucking Whip."

Here is the set of Miracles so far (in addition to those listed in the other post):

Bind:

            U (+2)

            Capacity: Range, Mass

            Power Capacity: Mass (+2)

            Total Focus Modifier (-0)

            Obvious (-1)

            Endless (+3)

Fragile (-1)

If/Then [Whip must remain in contact with Target] (-1)

Reduced Capacity [Range only 320 yds to 3.2 yds] (-1)

Special: Target may use Brawl to try and escape once per round

Nullify:

U (+2)

Capacity: Range

Variable Effect (+4)

If/Then [Variable Effect is only Nullify] (-1)

Duration (+2)

Total Focus Modifier (-0)

Attached to Bind (-2)

If/Then [Target must remain bound by whip] (-1)

Obvious (-1)

Go Last (-1)

Special: Mandatory Willpower Investment

            Special: The target can attempt to avoid Nullify with a defense roll as if they were attacked.

Any words of wisdom on using Nullify?

Tonight, Wednesday the 22nd, at 7pm, at the Seattle Go Center!
We'll be going over the only Go game to ever exclusively inspire a novel - Honinbo Shusai vs. Kitani, from 1938.

Very fun. 

That's really cool Sean. One thing I did awhile back was fudge Daring Entertainment's "War of the Dead" into ORE, and something like this would have rocked.

Post again when you get your generator up and running, because I'm definitely interested!

I adapted this idea from the Savage Worlds adventure Zombie Run. So the idea is that this table can be used in two ways; either after you create your Survivor or when your PC's search an area. For the initial character creation roll the player or GM can roll 11d10 or so to figure out what you start with in your pockets or have squirreled away. When used in-game a PC can apply the results of his Search roll directly to the chart or a GM can create a dice pool based on the area searched and apply that to the chart making the results the amount of usable stuff found.  Questions, comments, suggestions? 

One Roll Salvage… alt: instead of in day's width -1 in days

1's = Food- [width -1] in days.

2"s = Water- [width -1] in days.

3's = survival gear [width -1] in items

4's = medical supplies [width -1] in applications

5's = Fuel- [width -1] in Levels (low, mid, full)

6's = ammo- [width -1] x2 in bullets of any type

7's = melee weapon x2: Brass knuckles x3: small club x4: Knife (Ordinary) x5: Knife (Combat) x6: baseball bat x7: spear x8:Mace x9:sword  x10: Fire axe

8's = Firearm- x2: small pistol x3: med pistol x4: Large Pistol x5: SMG x6: Pump Shotgun: x7: Auto- Shotgun x8: Hunting Rifle x9: Assault Rifle x10: Machine Gun

9's = Vehicle x2: bicycle x3: scooter x4: motorcycle x5: small car x6: med car x7: large car x8: small truck x9: med truck, x10: large trucks

10's = Players pick. (can spend Wx10 anywhere on the chart, ie if PC rolls 4x10 they can get a small pistol and 4 shots)

Free Dice= odd items (anything not already covered above)

I am thinking about making the Melee weapons by generic type, ie x2: small club or x2:small  weapon (W +1S); Thoughts?

Also I am working on an ORE zombie plot generator which i'll post as soon as I get to a point that i feel can lead somewhere or I get really stuck for ideas.

Thanks!
