I guess my flavor of cool cyberware is more Riddick, where you pay a doctor in a basement 20 menthol Kools to do a surgical shinejob on your eyeballs. My assumption is that cyberware is the same as those assault rifles and RPG's. You're not having your operations done in a surgical theater in a Man...

I think you can do a fine Star Wars movie without Jedi or rebellions or anything. Making a Star Wars movie about dealing with the Jabba crime syndicate could be fun; making a movie about ace fighter pilots could be cool. There's plenty of Star Wars books they could adapt for movies too, like the Ro...

I'm slowly building up a SR4 heartbreaker - it was mainly inspired by how crappy the matrix minigame is, discussions here on TGD, and a book where someone becomes kind of like a cyber-angelic being (dammit I can't remember which book though). I would like to include stealth minigames and chase minig...

That works fine but in my personal opinion it’s not as satisfying as coming upon reality altering information during a random sweep of the moon LR44372. How about something like the movie "Event Horizon" then? A spaceship is exploring and uses hyperspace to travel and encounters reality-a...

A better option is don't use the clusterfuck that is SR5 and limits in the first place, and just use SR4 instead.

I was also looking at other systems that might have good mystery or downtime-heist-preparation kind of minigames. Thanks for saving me the time and effort of looking through Gumshoe, it was on my list... - I looked at Karma in the Dark, and it took me a few minutes to realize it was based on A*World...

Why the need to make such changes for a shark's stats? Has this been a problem that's come up at a lot of tables? Dolphins can kill sharks, are they doing that much damage? Do dolphins and whales have hardened armor now too? How about penguins?

There's something you can do about it tho, right? The tag eraser? So it makes it a really pointless change to go back to cased ammo, when 99.9% of players are going to make sure that they say to the GM "My char used a tag eraser on all their ammo". This smells like more "everything ha...

Pegasus apparently had something to say about it

However, I'm pretty sure what I did to myself was more about constricting blood flow than it was about muscular inflammation. There was no swelling nor muscular soreness. When I ride long-ish distances (long for me, anyway), I find that if I hunch over a lot I also get the numb,pin-and-needles feel...

I've never played it, but I've heard good things about 40K Epic (discontinued). This was the GW "real" scifi wargame, supposedly.

It's a fire sale

I only did very modest exercise... ... I have a friend who has been on and off again doing keto for the last several months and he's always miserable when on it I vaguely remember reading that for losing weight it's definitely calories in vs calories out, but the more important variable was calorie...

Really, I've been avoiding posting about Brazil's politics here because this is now such a hopeless shitshow and I guess you guys already have to deal with the shitshows in your respective countries. I enjoy hearing about other countrys shitshows though, lets the US (and Britian and Australia and C...

But I really do think that discussing the science in comics is a fools game, and doesn't make for very interesting discussions. I get that, and I actually agree with you, I personally find discussing (most) movie-time-travel-science boring. But obviously some people find it interesting, so you shou...

That sounds cool, and with something like that maybe also there needs to be a favor/disfavor rank with the gods, where you can only get a moderate boon if you have X favor with a god (from sacrifices or doing a deed in their name etc). And disfavor if you explicitly do something against the god (or ...

Some random non-fleshed out thoughts I had about this: - need a Artificer-type class for Daedalus-type abilities - sacrifice/blood magic? - add a race for something like a half-divine? - Oracles and/or divination needs to play a big role. So that it doesn't get cumbersome, it seems this would need t...

Are you Frank's alt account?

If the Infinity Stones create time (and other aspects of reality?), how could Thanos destroy them and there still be time and space and ?

Out of morbid curiosity - in an Earthdawn campaign, what do the characters do ? Are you asking what characters will be doing in THIS particular campaign, or what characters in Earthdawn do in general? The former makes sense to ask, the latter seems like a really strange question to ask in a RPG for...

I'd say yeah it should, because without adding Willpower, the drain tests become much harder and drain becomes a more constant thing (unless that's what you want your game going for). If you didn't want drain to be such a big player, you'd need to either spend a lot of time redoing drain codes (and ...

I had a moment where my brain went "Which country do they mea....." and got exactly that far and then went "tha....oh...oh goddamit "

I just watched all of Love,Death, and Robots after seeing a post about it on Reddit - loved almost all of them (Zima Blue, 3 Robots, The Witness, the hypersleep one). Very MTV Liquid Television-y. Walked a nice line between some serious sci-fi/fantasy and just some fun silly stuff (like the yogurt o...

The Orville... I REALLY enjoyed S2, even more than S1. I'm not a cranky old man after all...
