I wouldn't play any of those systems for good reason. If I had to I'd use Mutants and Masterminds 3e.

Ia feeds on Cornrows as we travel for two points of blood. Then bites his wrist, drawing blood and feeds her a point back. After the damage she's been through she should be hungry for it. As Verge is preparing his explosives Ia will tell him as he works, "Your bravery is admirable but you don't...

I don't see the point of morality granted bonuses for being a PC. I thought that was what experience is for.

Never having released Cornrows from his control he approaches her on the ground. "Miss, please come with us." He will attempt to puppet her into one of Stan's SUVs as if she were walking under her own power.

The problem is DnD is a system not a story and doesn't have anything to offer a filmmaker beyond branding. It doesn't have a truly iconic story or even setting. Drizzt is probably the only one that even comes close. It's a fantasy kitchen sink and that sink is mostly filled with Tolkien which we alr...

So starting out in Edge of the Empire, you're not master criminals, you're more like Pineapple Express. In Age of Rebellion, you're not that close to Luke and Wedge, you're more like Porkins. being low-power scroungers feel much more in-line with the classic saga than the Super-Padawans of the late...

When Stan is attacked Ia's mind is instantly focused on the battle. His blood burns inside. (A blood point is spent) and his Wits 5 are added to his initiative rating. Ia doesn't move at all though he does take action as his blood continues to boil inside him. (Second blood point spent) First priori...

Which is why I say to lock them up. If we bring them to the Dairy to meet Eris, that's 10 extra blood-boosted mooks we'll have to fight. Even with Presence, there's no way in hell they're going to sit around if their Domitor tells them to kill us. Individually, they aren't a threat. But 10 blood-bo...

Ironically, I think the PCs liked the "challenges" they could talk their way out of better than any of the actual combat; whether this is a credit to my ability to write dialogue (ha) or a failure on their part to min-max (hey, they're honest), or maybe just a deficiency in the AD&D r...
