Should articulation be based on the toy itself or on the character that the toy represents?
To use an extreme example, would this be articulation 1 or articulation 5?

>>29107995
It should, to some degree, be based on the limitations of the actual toy. A pet rock is probably not going to be an articulation 5 Dodgemaster. There is no rule against it, just a general notion of a guideline.

Primal Guide v3. Between this and how solid Rules v8 feels I think we are beginning to see some distant light at the end of a pretty long tunnel for this project. I was looking at V2 and marveling at how far we have come with this system in only 6 days

>>29108060
Spelling error (or I would assume so) in in that for Nyx, Umbra's Right Hand.
Under abberations it says Nyx gets +2 Doge when unseen.

>>29108328
Spelling error or out of place, horrible misused reference? The world will never know! (Spelling error.

>>29108060
Damn, that's some solid flavor right there.

Am i correct in understanding that toys only fight manifestations of these primals? A fragment or avatar aimed specifically at one particular child. Thus, it makes sense that only one or a few appear in a single night, and how they are always ready to fight again the next day.

Fears are powerful because they represent concepts. General fear has to be gathered and stiched together into minions in order to gain enough power to be a danger.

>>29107844
I wasn't able to be here for most of the threads, but what happened to the crayons and markers? They can act as buffs or minions(drawings), but are weak to scratching attacks and water.

>>29108447
The idea behind Primals is that they are kind of like end-bosses. They have seen a lot of play and thus quite a few of them have stats somewhere or other because they are perfect for balancing this game, but there will also be a swathe of minions, lesser fears, and general badness (like imps and corrupt toys) to go through before regular players ever fight a Primal.

>>29108657
But narratively, they would have to represent a deep-seated or very recent trauma in order for it to make sense for them to appear.

ie. the kid was locked in the closet by some bullies for several hours. The primal of darkness/claustrophobia notices this, and sends a fragment of herself to harvest the fear. It doesn't make sense for the toys to fight the fear of darkness of ALL children, unless we have a very special child and VERY powerful toys.

On the other hand, fighting a primal might represent a last stand for that fear. Winning will mean that the child will never fear that particular thing ever again. Still, a given primal will have to make that kind of last stand several times a day, given current populations.

If a kid is awake and there are no adults around, can the toys still get up and walk around?

>>29108799
So far it has been something traumatic and recent that has called Primals. A girl watcher her brother have a horrible, bone shattering accident and Corpus rolls into town. A terrible storm leaves a child shivering alone in his parents bed while they are several hours late getting home with no phone call and the Cloud Man showed up. In a campaign setting the idea is that Primal visitation is a 4 step process.
1) A primal senses minor trauma or events that sow the seeds of a fear into a child
2) The primal sends a Lesser Fear to help nurture those seeds- Corpus gets raktus to terrorize the child, or something like that
3) The Primal manifests after the child has enough fear within them
4)The primal consumes the imagination/emotion from the child and the Lesser Fear has an easy target to consume despairing, terrified emotions from, possibly for life.
Primals rarely appear, most nights toys are happy to live comfortable lives of play at night, but this game is not about the 95% of times that all is quiet and well.

>>29108884
So far the answer is no.

>>29108900
Then my only problem is with scale, which can frankly be done away with for the purposes of fun.

There's just too many children in the world for a Primal to try their hardest on a single child. It's not important mechanically, but the making them fragments of a whole primal does allow the game to scale upwards if you choose to have an orphanage setting with a crapload of toys and/or players. In that case, it makes sense for the whole primal to strike.

>>29108974
I imagine primals are sort of like the Gods in American Gods. There are lots of variations on a theme that are all as legitimate as any other one, depending on region and a few little specifics in folklore and social norms, reducing a single Primal's hunting area from the world to a single country/group of states.
This dialogue is great but I must get some sleep now. Have a good day.

>>29109048
Ah i see. From how specific the primals were, i assumed that each had a master form or something.

Funny, i have to sleep too. Good luck with this thing, it's looking really good.

>>29108884
Are there stats for kids? Maybe that'd be a merit or ability or something that certain kids have. "Vivid Imagination."

>>29108909
I think they should be able to. Doesn't make sense for the imaginary friends not to be able to do that shit, and others should be able to therefore as well.

>>29109113
To me it makes sense as long as it's nothing that couldn't be handwaved as just the kid playing with them. Basically if the kid is awake and the toys are nearby they can do anything that the kid could reasonably make them do.

>>29109371
But then that just gives the imaginary friends more freedom than the other toys, since they can do what they want.
>>29108900
So are we going with the idea of every lesser fear being the servant to a Primal? Also, idea for a Lesser Fear:
>Innius, the Chained Lord, a 6-foot-tall man with a head locked within a helmet covered in chains and padlocks and a muscular body covered in chains and bindings carrying a huge axe, incarnation of claustrophobia

>>29109492
and that is supposed to be beatable by toys that are all less than a foot tall...

SOrry, change "Adult human" down to "Small". Hedstrom's dimensions, after i went downstairs and measured them, are only 3' x 2' for the whole frame, or about 2' long for the body of the horse itself.

>>29111532

Looks good. Could have issues with size though. I don't think we've had really large toys as of yet.

Brings up the question, how real are toys? In a Toy Story world, this horse could be a huge problem charging around the house at night.

>>29111490
Wish we had one of these guys on the Christmas Eve game. Stompity stomp stomp!

>>29111686

The thing I find interesting, is that Christmas is such an important date for toys that our own PTs have been using real life dates as in game dates.

Christmas Eve, Christmas Night, and yesterday boxing day.

Nightlight really hit at the perfect time.

>>29111717
I was thinking something like that too. Wonder how things would've been if we started this around Halloween?

... perhaps a few of us would be cheap toys given out to trick or treaters, having to defend our sugar filled Small against the things that go bump on their strongest night of the year!

>>29111805
or maybe the project would have never gotten this far

>>29111833

I don't think the enthusiasm is tied to Christmas in anyway. It was just a nice way to flavor our play tests.

Having talked to many of the testers in my own games, they were all brought into the rolld20 room for non seasonal reasons.

Personally, I love the idea of playing in a completely good party for once. No weird shades of gray or edgy grim dark.

Not that those are bad, it is just refreshing to play something different.

>>29111883
Likewise. I mean, I may be playing a toy of a super villain.. but, he's still none the less still a good guy, just with a villainous theme... kinda Wreck It Ralph like, when I think of it.

"I'm bad, and that's good."

>>29113969
Any word on if we're about to use YGO/MTG Cards yet? Maybe on a high Imagination character for spellcasting? Houserule stuff?

>>29114082
It kinda died as we hashed out the rules for the Imagination spells, but i could see a toy using those by way of Quirk or accessory usage.

Probably would be fairly limited by the GM, though, since, let's be honest, most hardcore MtG players can enact a 3-card win condition with little effort., and YGO is up to, what, four tournament-level decks?

My personal advice would be using Exaggerate / Blanket / Boom effects flavored by the cards, and not actually using the cards themselves.

I spectated during the last few minutes of the playtest and was inspired to make my own character.

Slinky
>A mysterious character with alien motivations, Slinky was a Christmas present from the Small's physicist aunt. It can't speak except by twanging and vibrating its spring-like body, which the other toys find a little unnerving. But it's as devoted to the Small as any other toy, and come nightfall, it uses its mobility and durability to great effect in battle.

Science Toy: Slinky can be used as a component of an invention. It grants 1 automatic success on checks to manipulate an invention it's part of.

>>29126012
I love it! Those are some very creative quirks, too!

Ok, Santa trying once again for accessory mechanics:

A melee weapon has a base damage of 1d6+1 and, if upgraded, becomes 1d8+2 --> 1d10+3 --> 1d12+4.
A ranged weapon has a base damage of 1d6 and, if upgraded, becomes 1d8 --> 1d10 --> 1d12.
Armor provides a +2 DR bonus to the toy's body part with the highest assigned DR.
Shield provides +3 DR against one attack if a minor action was readied at the toy's turn.

Using invention on a target empowers an existing equipment they have. Depending on the piece of equipment used it has a different effect.

Weapon:
3 Successes: Increase damage die type by 1.
6 Successes: Increase damage die by 2, grant penetration 2 against minions.
9 Successes: Increase damage die by 3, grant penetration 2 against minions.
12 Successes: Increase damage die by 4, grant penetration 4 against minions.

Armor:
3 Successes: Increase DR to assigned part by 1
6 Successes: Increase DR to assigned part by 1 and grant +1 movement speed.
9 Successes: Increase DR to assigned part by 2 and grant +1 movement speed.
12 Successes: Increase DR to assigned part by 2 and grant +2 movement speed.

Shield:
3 Successes: Grant +1 DR on against selected attack.
6 Successes: Grant +2 DR against selected attack and +2 more if it's a minion.
9 Successes: Grant +3 DR against selected attack and +2 more if it's a minion.
12 Successes: Grant +4 DR against selected attack and +4 more if it's a minion.

Tool:
3 Successes: Grants +1 movement speed or glide or similar appropriate minor ability.
6 Successes: Grants +2 movement speed or +1 die to one skill or climb or swim or dig or similar appropriate moderate ability.
9 Successes: Grants +3 movement speed or +1 die to one attribute or flight or immunity to difficult terrain and weather or similar appropriate major ability.
12 Successes: Grants +4 movement speed or +1 to all dice rolls or similar appropriate supernatural ability.

(For tools a lower successes ability may be chosen.)

Armory = Equipment left on toy from Small (aka starting equipment).
Armory + Accessory = Maximum equipment a toy can carry at any time.


Rules about changeable:

Essentially invent but each body part counts as an equipment.

Suggestions for repair, so that it uses a similar system as the other accessory skills:

Repair:
3 Successes: Repair 1d4 to a limb.
6 Successes: Reattach a limb and cure 1d4 to it.
9 Successes: Reattach a limb, cure 1d4 to it and grant invulnerability to it for 1 round.
12 Successes: Reattach a limb, cure 1d4 to it, grant invulnerability to it for 1 round and the action you used to repair is not expended.

We got a game in the process of being set up.
For unexperienced GM stumbling through all-new setting adventures please contact [email field] on skype.

The game(s) will probably be short sessions for trying out the systm and fining any issues with it, i.e. beta testing. I'll also have to figure out a way to have longer lasting games without involving some pretty severe psychological damage with the child in question.

Uh.... I don't think so, no! I'd assume that using a Quirk for it is the right move.

Why limit yourself to just *one* of those three choices?

I wasn't going to respond, but... well, okay. I'll bite.
Well, you either mean you want to play as a dragon dildo *cough*cough*getbacktoerpgeneral*cough*, or you mean you want to play as one of those ludicrously expensive /toy/ collector super-pose-able-but-needs-an-articulated-stand-to-stay-upright type toys.

Adults, themselves, lack the imagination and belief necessary to give life to a toy. So the "toys" adults play with option is right out. This also eliminates most build-a-waifu toys, since it's a delusion, not a belief.

However: you *could* be one of those $90 Lord of the Rings Gandalf figures, with crazy articulation and imagination powers, if the GM approves it.

>>29129478
was responding to >>29129366 , in case that isn't clear.

Also, 4 words? Step up your game rookie.

>>29127482
Looking at this again I think Alien Abduction works more as an edge case of Beam Me Up (if one of the characters is carrying something). I'd probably change it to something more like this -

Reverse The Polarity: Pass Assist checks on 2 successes if the target is adjacent or riding.

Feels more like it captures the sense of the ship having lots of gadgets but needing a crew to use any of it.

Here's one I wrote after reading a post a few threads ago. Some troll posted a pyromaniac spirit, so I rewrote it into something more sensible.

Flare, the Candle Spirit
Type: Imaginary Friend
Description: A tiny humanoid flame. Flare was born from many hours of fascinated observation of a candle by his Small. Unlike most fire sprites of the world of imagination, Flare bears no malice, and instead wishes to protect his Small from anything that would see them harmed. More than most, he understands how easily things that burn can be destroyed.

Attributes:
Toughness: 2
Articulation: 2
Imagination: 2+3=5
Fellowship: 5
Accesory: 1

Skills:
Boom: 5
Comfort: 2
Assist: 2
Blanket: 2
Neverland: 2
Exxagerate: 2

Quirks
A Light Shining in Darkness: Flare automatically dispels darkness effects in a 6" radius around him, and recieves +1 sucesses resisting or dodging darkness-based attacks.
A Warm Light to Share: Flare provides +1 Successes to rolls made by allies as long as he is 6" or less away.
Fire and Fury: Flare's Boom attacks scorch and burn his enemies. Enemies hit by a Boom attack by Flare take another 1d6 damage the following turn.
Warmth of Kindness: Twice per night, Flare may re-roll a Comfort roll made by him OR an ally and take the better result of either roll.

>>29127482
The only times I've seen flying, it's been a quirk. The problem with that though, is that there are no rules for climbing or attacks of opportunity (Though the last version of the rules I've read are V.5), so flying tends to not be super useful. As >>29127591 said, so far it's been GM fiat. Maybe flying will eventually be incorporated into the rules. I might run a play test tomorrow night, so we could play around with flying/climbing etc then.

>>29130657
Seems so OP and out of place. Maybe make it so that it's an imaginary friend from a cartoon the Small once saw? The quirks seem a bit strong, but I like them. How do Imaginary Friends interact with enemies and what do they do during the day? Do they become physical or something? Give me some fluff so that it makes sense please.

>>29130794
Actually, when I used flight with Zeta, it always prevented a Scramble/Athletics roll to get up things.

It doesn't seem like much but the ability to go anywhere during your round is crazy useful

Also if Mant and Crayon are reading this, drop by the roll20

>>29130794
In combat I think that adding +1 to distance (so it counts as one square away if the character are adjacent) is a reasonable approximation, but that has the potential to be quite unbalanced if it lets a character flat out ignore melee attacks. Then again with free movement it's probably not hard to keep distance anyway.

>>29130794
Hmm, a primal fear of heights forcing combat onto a steep set of slopes as it transforms the boy's bedroom into a yawning chasm?

>>29133523

10/10 would fight for the safety of the Small

>duties itynaut

>>29133523
The small makes the floor "Lava" because of their immagination, maxing out the challenge for movement.
It'd make for an interesting fight, where pushing and shoving comes into play.

>>29131042
>>29130865
I am going to look at move speeds for alternate forms of movement with the group tonight or tomorrow.

>>29134641
Penalties to endurance, no making melee attacks, Needing a minor to maitain flight, on top of movement to move.

>>29130322
I fuckin' love this.

Slinky here with some ideas for monster fights. I'm rubbish at number crunching, so I decided to focus more on general outlines.

>Klobos, the Inescapable
As the incarnation of claustrophobia and fear of separation, Klobos attacks primarily through restricting the players' movement and cutting them off from each other. Toys must free each other from Klobos's clutches and break out of his prison to have any chance of stopping him.
>Fetterhooks
These are servants of Klobos that look like chains, wires and ropes made out of living shadow. They are fairly weak, often encountered in multiples; some are roughly horizontal and block movement, while some dangle from the ceiling snapping at interlopers. If an uncautious toy strays too near to one of its ends, a fetterhook may latch onto it with its cruel hooklike teeth.
>Turnkeys
These evil spirits look like rusted padlocks. They can't move on their own, but they can move along fetterhooks with a grinding noise. When it comes close to a toy, wires extend from the turnkey and attempt to grapple it and funnel it into the turnkey's waiting maw. It's difficult to escape from a turnkey on your own, but much easier with the help of an ally.
>Klobos himself
Klobos manifests as a thick morass of barriers covering everything: windows rusted shut, doors barred, walls crisscrossed with chains. Apart from spawning more lesser monsters, he attacks by slowly crushing the walls and ceiling inward and giving the toys less space to move. If a toy attacks the boundaries of the room, Klobos is hurt and the inward compression momentarily stops. However, such audacity is bound to anger the Inescapable One. Be warned.

>>29137563
I love it!

>>29136150

I'll whip one up. I've written quite a few toys, I should give at least one of them an origin story.

>Laeke, the Leech
When Laeke's influence is present, the Small's room gradually takes on attributes of a hospital room. The walls become whitewashed, bookshelves turn into racks of medical equipment, and the smell of disinfectant is in the air. At the same time, the Small becomes more and more sickly, coughing up blood and hearing panic-inducing hallucinations.
>The Leeching Plague
A fight against Laeke is a two-front battle on the Small's bed: not only must the toys fight off Laeke's nightmarish minions, they must contend with the Small's worsening illness. The Small has a pool of Hit Points which drains at a constant rate, and which is damaged by Laeke's minions. It can be replenished with Comfort checks, but beware: if it reaches zero, Laeke's influence dominates and the child is crippled for life.
>Stirges
These creatures look like a cross between a syringe and a mosquito. They descend from windows and vents to land on the Small's body, attempting to syphon blood and instil fear. They are weak and generally ignore the toys, but can drain life at a frightening rate if left unchecked.
>Snipfingers
A snipfingers is a crawling severed hand wearing a surgical glove, with precise blades where its fingertips should be. These monsters hunt toys in pairs: the left hand pins a toy down and the right hand systematically hacks away at its limbs. If a snipfingers makes its way to the Small, it attacks by gouging flesh; the wounds inflicted are not real, but the horrific nightmares may cause more damage than injury could.
>Clots
As the night continues, these blobs of blood begin dripping from the ceiling. Clots do not move or attack, but the real danger lies in their aura: the festering stain around them slows toys and reduces their DR. A clot that lands on the Small's bed will drain the Small's health in addition to its normal effects. Popping a clot removes the stain.

>>29138639
>Laeke himself
When the child's HP is perilously low, the mad doctor himself may come to feast. Laeke's attacks take the form of brutal slashes and pierces with medical implements; they deal great damage to single targets, often immobilizing or weakening them. While Laeke is mostly metal and impossible to damage, the four IV tubes running along his arms are weak points: if all are snapped, he loses his tethers to our realm and is forced to flee.

File: 1388289152247.jpg-(62 KB, 440x349, maghana.jpg)

62 KB JPG

>Maghana, the Motive Power
Where other Fears seek to infiltrate the room of the Small, Maghana abducts the room itself from the house. First enormous pincers smash through the walls, then an awful grinding is heard as saws separate the floor from adjacent structure. With a thunderous shredding sound, the entire room is wrenched precariously into the air, and Maghana's true form – a terrifying flying machine – is revealed.
>The Flying Battlefield
Like many battles between the toys and Fears, Maghana's battlefield is symbolic rather than real. From the Small's tormented imagination it conjures madly spinning propellers and belching engines, a mechanical chimera hammering at the room as though trying to crack an egg. The doors and windows really lead to empty air, however, and trying to escape results in a very long fall.
>Fighting Maghana
The colossal dreadnought that is Maghana cannot be fought head on. The toys must find their way into its inner workings while avoiding grinding gears, raging blast furnaces and pounding pistons. The toys can disrupt Maghana's engines to slow it down, but the real prize is deeper: in the beast's bowels is a tortured black heart of oil, which the toys must destroy to free the Small of Maghana's influence.
>Helldozers
These monstrous machines defend Maghana's interior. They can take on different forms, much like their overlord, but all tower over the toys with their bulk. The helldozers work together and attempt to box the toys in, forcing them closer and closer to deathtraps in Maghana's interior. If a group of helldozers is damaged, they will combine together and attack with renewed intensity.

Has anyone made original art for this game yet?The rules need illustration.

>Foranus, the Outsider
Foranus is the herald of change. The battle against him begins hours before he actually arrives: things in the house are suddenly out of place, and there are walls where there previously were none. Entire rooms may appear and disappear, and worst of all, the Small may be in a different house altogether. Fighting Foranus requires the toys to rapidly adapt to changing situations.
>Doppelgangers
Foranus's minions take the form of familiar people and objects with a disturbing twist. Doppelgangers are evil spirits masquerading as toys, some obvious, some less so: the toys must look for tells, such as different colors or details in the wrong place, that separate them from their trusted allies. Their very presence may cause the toys to suspect each other.
>Not in Kansas anymore
As reality itself begins to buckle under Foranus's presence, the toys may find themselves suddenly flickering into alternate times and places. Perhaps they find themselves defending a girl in Germany suffering nightmares from the outbreak of the Second World War, or fighting off primal spirits in a Filipino household devastated by hurricanes. The battlefield constantly changes, and the battle itself is the only constant.
>Mind Tricks
As if the constant changing of battlefields wasn't enough, the toys must also contend with mental attack. Foranus's dark magic may play tricks on the toys' perception, cause them to see foes that aren't there, or even suddenly rotate control of the toys between players. Thankfully, these episodes are rare, and always come with hints that things are not as they seem.
>Foranus himself
Eventually the constant flurry of change becomes a blur, and in this protean netherworld, Foranus can be seen advancing toward the Small. The Outsider has many faces that rotate each turn: one may be a savage beast, one perhaps an impassive mask, and one a grinning clown. Only when all are defeated does Foranus vanish from our world.

Alright, that's all for today I think. Hope my ideas are workable somehow.

Black Jack was annoyed.

This wasn't supposed to happen. He was a 1/36 scale model T26E4 'Super Pershing' Heavy Tank model, a near-perfect reproduction of a real war machine. He had a cannon with exactly 1/36 of a 90mm bore, armor plates with exactly 1/36th of their real thickness. He was a museum-accurate model, and he was proud of it.

And now he was on a carpet floor, a child's hand wrapped around his meticulously crafted turret, firing imaginary laser beams (?!) at plastic dinosaurs.

It was a mockery of everything he had been designed for, and he knew it.

It went on for seemingly forever. Jack didn't bother to keep track of the time. He didn't bother to pay attention. He tried to ignore what he was being forced to do, tried to ignore the vapid, taunting stares of the toys around him. When it finally ended and he was alone with them, he sprung into Awakeness, eyes blinking into existence on his front mantlet, and scowled.

"What a brat."

"EXCUSE ME?" Came a reply from behind him. Jack rotated his turret to fix his furrowed glare on a green Army Man who had Awoken nearby. "That 'brat' is responsible for your very existence, tin can! Show some respect!"

"I'll show him some respect when he shows ME some!" Jack rotated his turret back around, glaring straight ahead.

"Oh?" The Army Man hopped around to Jack's front, now craning his neck to look up into the tank model's eyes. At nearly half a foot tall, Jack towered over the half-inch cast plastic figure. "And what kind of respect do you think you deserve?"

"More than I'm getting." Jack huffed. "I'm a reproduction scale model. Designed for accuracy and display, not pretend and play! What he did to me was nothing short of...of...!"

"It was LOVE, hullnuts." The Army man said flatly. "Were you even paying attention? He played with you for four straight hours. You defended that imaginary HQ of his against every make-believe monster in the toybox. Dinosaurs, space aliens, land battleships, apparently those front plates of yours are made of 'wontbreakium'. At least that's what he called it."

"It's Detroit-made rolled steel with welded spacers," Jack retorted, proud of his self knowledge. "And I don't care if he plays with me for a day straight, I still don't like it."

"The hell you do!" The army man had now clambered onto Jack's hull, and stared him down. By now the other toys had caught wind of their new arrival's tantrum. "Have you even considered WHY you're talking to me right now? You're a TOY! You shouldn't even be able to MOVE on your own, let alone speak and recite your design specifications by heart."

"That's nonsense." Jack replied. "I know where I was..." And there he drifted off as he remembered. He recalled his moment of manufacture, when the Father had taken the parts from his kit and put them together accurately and securely, then placed him in a new box and put him under the Christmas tree. But there was a dull haze over the memory, a graininess, as if watching an old film. It was almost like the memory was foreign to Jack, or even...

"Pre-Awakening." The Army Man finished, drawing Jack out of his reverie. "You exist, here and now, for one reason and one reason only: because that 'brat' in that bed up there loves you with all his heart. And it was that 'torture' he put you through that brought you to where you are now." he stepped back and crossed his arms, waiting for a reply.

Jack was silent for almost five minutes as he thought. It made an almost magical amount of sense. Once he was lifeless, dull, simple plastic and glue. Now he was a Toy, a lively creature with a magical soul. The bridge between these two existences had been the four hours he had been in the posession of the br-no...Jack couldn't call him that now. He realized with an utter surety that he owed the child his life in a way that was beyond measure. And he had spat in the face of that generosity the whole time. He could think of no greater act of selfish cruelty.

Tears came to the model's eyes, pattering onto his thin plastic plates. "I'm not a tank," He muttered "I'm a fool. A plastic-and glue fool. I don't deserve a museum...I don't even deserve him." He looked towards the bed, where the child slumbered peacefully.

"No, you don't." Replied the Army Man. "You're going to earn it. Now, LOOK AT ME." His tone had left the realm of 'stern father' and become something like 'drill sergeant'. Jack, a military creation, found himself obeying without thinking. "What is your make and model, soldier!"

"Uh, sir! Type 26 Enhancement 4 'Super Pershing' Heavy Tank! Sir!" Jack was shaken from his despair by the dressing down.

"Correct! And what is your armament!"

"Sir! 90 millimeter High Velocity Type 54 Cannon, primary! Mark 1919 30-06 Browning machine gun, hull mount! Mark 1919 Browning machine gun, coaxial mount! Mark 2 50-calibre Browning machine gun, anti-aircraft mount!"

"Correct! And do you know you will be required to use that armament?"

"...Sir?"

"Imagination has the power of life, soldier, but it has a dark side. Every child has fears, and those fears feed the Primals, the nasty things that go bump in the night and seek to hurt and corrupt the minds of the poor kids who play with undeserving Toys like you and me." The Army man jumped off the hull and joined the crowd of toys that had gathered around Jack. "Now tell me: the next time those sick Primals make a push against this kid's house and home, are you gonna let them?!"

Jack was shaking now. "SIR! NO SIR!"

"DAMN RIGHT YOU'RE NOT!" The Army Man smiled. "That is how you earn your Child. Your Small."

Black Jack looked up at the child. "My...Small..." He understood now. He would have to earn it, this life he had been given. He would have to fight, fight until his treads were broken, his hull cracked asunder and his turret burned out, but he would earn it. He could do no less. After all, he was a 1/36 scale model T26E4 Super Pershing, a fine fighting machine if ever there was one. It was time he started acting like it.

Hehe. I've already statted and played Black Jack. He's an indestructible master of war!

Black Jack the Tank
Type: Action Figure
Description: A 1/36 scale model T26E4 Super Pershing Heavy Tank model. Black Jack wasn't designed to be played with. He wasn't designed to fight space aliens, dinosaurs, lego monsters, or whatever other bizzare thing his Small pits him against. This bothered him...at first. But like any truly loved Toy, his steel heart has been warmed into a magical thing of fuzz by the care and attention of his Small. Black Jack is convinced he's the biggest, toughest machine on the battlefield, and he usually is, but he never lets his competetiveness get in the way of his willingness to help his friends.

Quirks:
T54 Cannon: Black Jack's fearsome 90mm gun hits like...well, like a tank cannon. His Aim attacks deal 1d8 base damage.

Explosive Shells: Three times per night, Black Jack may make his Aim attack using magical explosive shells. If the spell hits, it deals damage in a 6" radius.

Frontal Armor: Black Jack's front armor plates are especially thick, and offer extra protection when faced towards the enemy. Each turn, he may designate a single foe. Black Jack recieves +1 DR against attacks made by this enemy.

Silver Bullet: Black Jack keeps, for special occasions, a magical shell that can inflict grevious harm to his foes. Once per night, Black Jack may make his Aim attack against a single enemy using this magical Shell. If successful, it deals Piercing damage (ignoring DR).

I had some more ideas and decided to go all the way.

>Dhaman, the Punisher
No one escapes punishment. The more a Small fears authority, the more Dhaman's merciless jaws close near, until the bars snap shut and the Small is sent tumbling, tumbling into an oubliette outside reality. This is the true meaning of Dhaman – the system, not the monster, syphons the fear.
>The Oubliette
The toys find themselves trapped within a maze of forbidding jail cells and buildings, and the sleeping Small lashed down and cuffed to the bed. Faceless guards and slavering hounds guard this prison, and massive dangling eyeballs shine floodlights on all who would escape. But if the toys cannot rescue their Small before sunrise in the real world, they may never see daylight again.
>Watchers
Security cameras and searchlights in one, the watchers appear like dozens of eyeballs against the starless sky. They scan the oubliette tirelessly and unblinkingly – only in the dark passages and covered crawlspaces can the toys escape their notice.
>Iron Hounds
The patrol dogs used by the guards are twisted fusions of mangy flesh and blue-striped machine. They look much like miniature versions of their overlord, except no less bloodthirsty: they can sniff out the Small from the slightest trace left behind, and are fast and ruthless enough to tear the most hardened toy to pieces. Fighting one is deadly. Fighting two is insane.
>Puppets
As for the guards themselves, they are shadows of what might once have been people in life: they are faceless, mindless executioners, and their headwear is part cap and part hood. They share one mind and close in on the toys more like zombies than real people. Though relentless in their pursuit, they have a secret weakness: cut the puppet strings controlling them and they will turn to dust.

>Dhaman himself
The Punisher is the warden of the oubliette, whose fangs are the bars of the jail. He cannot be fought, for the arm of the law is all-powerful. Instead, the toys must take great care to sneak behind and around his watchful gaze, using trickery and cleverness to lead him off the scent. He is defeated when the toys bring the Small safely into the light of the real world's sunrise.

>>29140847

I like the idea of otherworldly nightmare-scapes. This also answers some of the logistics of why the antics of the toys don't cause problems.

"Tell me a story…I can't sleep…"

"It is late Child. Your Mother will be furious. If she was to enter the room and you are-"

"Please! I promise I will go to sleep right after! Just one. Please?"

There is a moment of silent thought. These days, it was rare for the Storyteller to utilize her talents. Maybe just one…

"A long, long time ago, a Child was born. A Child, who brought great joy to those around her; her family and her friends. Everywhere the Child went, flowers sprang in her step, and the sun shone twice as bright to match her smile. Her voice was music, her movements dance, and her thoughts were art. Her imagination swirled around her like a whirlwind, and everything she touched, sprang to life. It was her Friend that first noticed, in this very child, nested the seed of happiness…."

A pause. Doubt?

"It was this seed of happiness, that many unkind creatures sought. Out of greed, those who would steal it, and out of hate, those who would destroy it…from the shadows they came…"

The storyteller trembles. Slightly.

Gently, a sleepy prompt to continue. "Go on…I'm older now, I'm not scared…"

The voice quivers. "The first nights were the worst. They crawled. They slithered. From every dark place they spawned. From every crack, hole and opening they poured. Night after night. An unrelenting tide that swallowed everything."

The next words, barely above a whisper...

"…then Winter came."

>>29145502

"Darkness seeped into the very bones of the house while ice and frost entombed everything it touched. The sun itself fled. All seemed lost."

"The Friend fought. They all did. Desperation forced them together, bodies pressed tight in their prison. With every dawn, the house shrank. But one night, as they sat huddled, a realization. In the dark they saw how brightly each individual shone. No matter how much they lost, they survived. No matter how far they fell, they always stood. In this, the tide broke upon their unity."

There is now steel in the voice as the story continues,

"Yes. The first nights were the worst. Many were lost. Others…their fates will never be known. However, they pressed on."

"The seed grew. It grew, and grew and grew. It stretched to become crowned with clouds, it stretched to embrace the sky. The Child, soon could no longer be called such. She grew into a beautiful young woman, and her talents continued to bring joy to those around her."

Having finished the tale, the story teller begins to turn away.

"What happens to her Friend?"

There is no mistake in the question.

How does one answer, when that part of the story has not yet been written?

"Well…part of growing so tall, is that those far below, no matter how loudly they shout, can no longer be heard. But as their voices become fainter with time, their only wish is for those above to know...that they are happy."

The figure in the bed turns one more time, pulling the covers tight. Gentle dismissal comes in the form of a quiet yawn.

"…g'night….Lydia….thank you..."

The Friend stands silently, well after the figure in the bed has fallen into the shallow breathing of sleep. An eternity passes as the page turns, and another story begins to take shape.

"Sleep well."

Weezing the Feesh
Type: Stuffed Toy
Description: A very bright neon green puffer fish with almost impossible fluffness, makes the almost perfect pillow until his fuzz goes up your nose. A feesh with even less sense than brains and as lazy as can be, can often be found sleeping on the Small's pillow or hitching a ride on somebody's back. Can fall asleep easily if there is no companions or action nearby, often gets him in trouble. Unlike regular feesh, Weezing is incapable of swimming and being in water makes it puff up to incredible sizes, so it prefers to climb and jump everywhere if he needs to move around and can't catch a ride. Not selfish at all, he's always willing to give a buddy a lift on it's back, especially if he gets to go flying!

>Quirks

Feesh-a-pult!: Able to be thrown with great force easily by companions. +1 automatic success to athletics and brawl/aim when being thrown or jumping from great heights at enemies.

Pufferup!: Become larger and more intimidating to enemies, maybe even able to roll over them. +1 automatic success to exaggerate when wet. Does 1d8 damage to enemies when rushing through them.

Weezing Cannon!: Up to thrice per night, can absorb a single friendly Boom attack within and let it loose as a 3x3square range shockwave on next jump/catapult attack. Deals 1d6 damage to enemies in blast radius.

(if GM allows) Feesh are friends, not food!: Once per night per night, can call on the rest of the Weezing family while jumping to carpet(fish?)bomb selected 3x4square area. Rolls 5d6 and number of fish summoned is equal to successes when attempted, each fish does 1d8 damage, or 1d10 if all 5 feesh(Weezing included) make the attack.

(Otherwise) Feesh Rider!: Companions can land softly on Weezing and hitch a ride while adding +1 to their athletic and brawl checks while riding.

This game just finished. It was an entertaining tag-team between >>29126012 and >>29147387 versus a cluster of Typhon's wisps. Wrecking ball attacks, wisp-riding and lightning-eating were involved. Fighting the last wisp turned into a chore because of the high Endure and Dodge skills all around, though, so more balancing may be required there.

This one isn't mine, but I thought it was quite good.

>>29149741
Also, the Assist skill and minor actions in general felt very anemic from my point of view. Exaggerate, for example, eclipses Assist in reliable usefulness.

>>29147403
It was a fun session. Ended up becoming a wrecking ball, riding a cloud, and getting so charged up that I was able to use Thunderbolt.

Feesh are friends! got bunked to: 3d6 (non exploding) and each success does 1d6 damage, didn't get the chance to use it though. Also the dodge on the Whisps seemed a little high. That last one took forever to take down since it just kept dodging or resisting everything.

Also maybe circumstance boosts?

>>29149749
The comic sans is a nice touch

>>29149789
The thing is Exaggerate has a tight cap on the number of times you can use it per night whereas you can Assist as many times as you want. The issue as far as I see is that the arena format doesn't encourage you to conserve resources so much.

>>29149789

Exaggerate makes a toy able to succeed in an area they wouldn't normally be able to, where Assist allows for complete rerolls, granting higher percentages of success.

The 10 die cap is what separates Assist from Exaggerate.

>>29150416
The strict arena format will only persist as long as the game is rooted firmly in very slow post2play playtests. The real utility for Command and Assist lie outside of combat, as far as I'm concerned.

>>29107944
The Metal Gear Rising soundtrack goes way too well with these.

>>29156677
You killed us all! What the heck man?

So it seems we have quiet a twist in the PT! What a night this turned out to be.

>>29160558
What's going on in there? I spectated for a bit but couldn't follow what was going on.

>>29160711

After travelling for some time into a plane of pipes, metal and steam, Jeanne and Rufus were talking to a creature that seemed to be able to help Ken.

Sarge, took matters into his own hands and laid explosives in the tunnel. Without letting his party know, he blew the tunnel, trapping them both.

>>29160814

Yea that about covers it.

>>29160814
I'm not going to lie, I did act a little impulsively(but in character).
All Sarge knew is what Feesh told him which was that this place was bad, there was a bad bad, and that our friends were talking to the bad bad. That relatively decided it, and I did give some time between steps, and plenty of "warning."

And everyone knows that in the army, traitors are dealt with

>>29161350
Did you stop to think that Feesh was kind of...simple? He just wanted to get out of the scary place and go back to sleep with the Small.

>>29161350

Well.

It does not have to be played that way. "Playing your character" to the detriment of the group puts you firmly in the territory of "that guy".

There were many actions that could've been taken, and you chose the one that ended the session.

Had it not been at the very end of the session, I would almost be tempted to just retcon and eject you from the game.

Hey, been at my gal's the last couple of nights. What I miss?

>>29162294
Fun couple playtests today. Last one got henderson'd but wasn't all that bad.

You available to play in a few PTs in the next few days?

>>29162365
Oooh! Bummer that I missed out.

>>29162380
I'm really sorry about that man! Other than New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, I'll be available. I was trying to get my girlfriend into the game, but, she had other plans.

> whip cracks

Have pity upon me....

>>29162637

No worries. I won't be available for New Years Eve or Day either. And then I am going on vacation for 10 days in about a week. Ty is going to have to pull extra GM duty!

Nightlight going pretty good at this point. A lot of stuff feels natural and easy to pick up. I think the biggest thing now is limbs, and some of the accessory stuff. Once those get solved I will sleep a lot easier.

Ugh, just about to go to sleep, and ideas strike...

1st: a possible tweak for exaggerate. What if, instead of affecting one roll, it gave the target a pool of points(so, say, like feesh's +7 could have been split into a 4 and a 3 for two rolls, or 7 sets of 1.) This may be hard to track, but it was just a random thought.

Second was for one of our more pressing issues, Accesory.
First, what accessory itself affects
For each point in accesory, your character can weild stronger weapons.
Points:
1. up to 1d6 weapons
2. 1d8 weapons
3. 1d10 weapons
4. 1d12 weapons
5. Beyond that, such as 2d6 or 2d8 weapons.

Armory gives you points to buy weapons, so for each dice level of the weapon costs 1 point additional. (1d6=1, 1d8=2. ect...) Added effects, like DR pen or whatever, cost additional points at the GM's discretion.

Take my guys boomtoob for example. it would cost 1 point for the d6 melee, and an additional 1-2 for the d8 upgrade to Boom spell. Therefore, as he stands, with 2 accessory and 1 armory point, he could buy it, but he'd be out of points.

This would make at least having a few points in accessory worthwhile if you want powerfull weapons, and may draw people into adding points into repair and other acessory skills because of a higher base value.

Again, thoughts of a guy who should be sleeping.

Was given to small as a gift from his much older brother before he moved away to school. the small cherishes this toy as if it were his own brother.
Gao feels as if protecting the small is his sole reason for existing and it brings him much joy to do so.

Gao has a very bright and noble personality. always ready to protect others and plunge head first into danger. the very embodiment of the word "Courage", a very strong sense of justice and low tolerance for cowardice and evil.

The Painkiller

Imaginary Friend

Born when his Small was first introduced to Heavy Metal, The Painkiller is a Monster Of Rock who watches over his Small with an Electric Eye. Any Dreamer Deceiver who thinks the night is a Point Of Entry has Got Another Thing Coming because this Devil's Child is Hard As Iron and his Small is Private Property. This Hellion doesn't care if he's fighting on Desert Plains or under Blood Red Skies, he'll Take On The World before he lets his Small become a Victim Of Changes.

>>29166594

Hey the formatting has really improved!

Looks great!

One small thing though....you left .8 at the top of the page haha

>>29166594
A PC may ride another PC as a mount so long as the GM considers it reasonable. While doing
so the rider must pass a parkour or tame check equal to the number of spaces moved in a round
or lose their minor action.

Can you go a bit deeper into Mount rules? How does it work exactly with PCs? How about with Pets, have we explored that yet?

>>29166594
A diagonal space for the purposes or measuring aim attack range or movement counts as 2
spaces.

Why is this? Kinda doesn't make sense since it's all the same 6 inch radius, the grids we've been using in playtests arent that restrictive. Might just be a pet peeve with me, but this never made any sense to me.

Invent needs to be fleshed out a bit more. Any character can just be Brawl+Invent proficient and bam, instant powerhouse. Maybe put more emphasis on tool creation for skill checks or for more brainpower required puzzles/items.

The attacking section seems a bit wordy and convoluted, I would suggest rewording it so it's not as confusing to read and to avoid misunderstanding. Same goes for Endurance. Just streamline what it says and keep the main points in. Heck, for the harder parts maybe throw in an example. Incorporate a little bit of storytime into the book to make it more pleasing and interesting to read rather than look at it like a quick reference encyclopedia.

There is a typo in the Minor Action. Also I suggest taking Brawl out of the list of things that can be done, double attacks tend to end fights pretty quickly. Maybe leave tackles, grapples, and unarmed attacks in as choices.

Add Grapple to the list of things that can be done with Endurance/Athletics.

Lie is kinda useless, maybe rehash it? Exaggerate needs to be worked on a bit more, kinda really strong and overshadows Assist. Buff Blanket. Reword Neverland. Have healing require items+magic.

>>29169829

Diagonal on a grid works in a strange way. Moving 5 squares for example, gets you more distance if you move diagonal that you do up/down left/right.

The next time your players want to play something Call of Cthulhu related point out that the board is already no euclidean....spooky!

We do need to work on invent. But as of this version, it is "new" again. So it still needs play testing. And my first instinct was to pair brawl and invent as well, which led to us changing it last time and actually "removing" it for version 8.

The wording under attacking was at the request of another player because our original was not "clear" enough. Can't please them all I guess haha Like everything else in the PDF, feel free to suggest something, or even write it up out right. We do take every suggestion into careful consideration. Sometimes we just have so much to discuss we move kind of fast.

I know that when a mechanically situation gets suggested I do try to take 5 minutes or so to run numbers.

Lie.....is weird. It used to steal an attack with a minor action. Which led to it being very very powerful. And you used to be able to turn invisible on a minor.

The lie change was my suggestion, here is my reasoning:

Lie as originally designed, was to give "caster" or "support" toys something to help them survive, as they would spend less points in either dodge or tough.

However, there was nothing to stop a Tough or Art character from using Lie to supplement their turn. Removing an enemies attack with a minor, while still having full endurance or dodge loaded in the wings was a powerful combo that did not really need testing. It never came up in a game because I think even that felt a bit too abusive, even on paper.

At my table, we have a thing called the "giggle test", sometimes called the "hand test".

If you think of a combo that makes you giggle like an idiot or rub your hands together like a super villan, it probably should not be played at the table.

>>29169908

Wow comment too long already.

Anyways, logic behind making it major is this:

The half dice for minor actions, hurts support toys a lot less than Brawl/Aim toys. Half brawl/aim usually means you have a crapshoot whether you hit or not, as you are now completely dependant on the enemy failing the roll. And in the case of Endurance, reeeeally failing their roll (which might be an issue).

However, half dice on a Comfort/Blanket/Assist/Command/Exaggerate/etc is still very, very useful. This allows support toys to "escape" with a Major, and still be very useful with their minor.

Hope that helps!

>>29166594

The wording here:
• Roll difficulties look a bit like this (GM's)
◦ 2-Easy
◦ 4-Normal
◦ 6-Hard
◦ 8-Extremely Difficulties
◦ 10-Impossible

8 should be Extremely difficult

Difficulties implies multiple difficulties, which doesn't work when there's only one being referred to.

>>29170024
Heh, 5 seems to be used as the magic for most actions from what I've seen.

>>29170448
I dunno, fixing ken was more than a 6 last night.

I guess I may as well post this so that people know where these numbers are coming from.

Every die is worth .8 successes. This comes from:

(x - s +1) / (r - 1)

Where:
x = dX (d6, d8, etc)
s = What is required for a success
r = Reroll

At .8, we can then simulate successes from 1 to 10.

1 = 0.8
2 = 1.6
3 = 2.4
And onwards to 10.

After rounding to the nearest whole, we get something that looks like this:

1 Pool = 1 Success on Average
2-3 Pool = 2 Successes on Average
4 = 3 Successes on Average
5 = Successes on Average
6 = 5 Successes on Average
7-8 = 6 Successes on Average
9 = 7 Successes on Average
10 = 8 Successes on Average

Breaking that down even further, we can come up with what should be the "normal" dice pool (aptitude + skill) or difficulties for checks.

2-3 is classified as "easy". Any toy should be able to do it on their own.

4 is "Normal". A toy should be able to to do it barring bad luck. Example: A great leap from a "tough" (5) toy

6 is "hard". In the above example, the toy not only requires to be "tough", but also lucky, or specialize in it (skill points)

8 is Extreme difficulty. Even a toy specialized in a field can fail. A task of this calibre requires a specialist, great luck, or cooperation between specialists and/or luck.

10 is impossible. This is to cover things that sometimes will come up in play. This should probably not be used other than a plot hook of some kind. This difficulty level requires toys who are masters of their field to cooperate, or have great luck.

On a normal die pool, this on average will fail even if the toy is a master of a particular skill due to average success being 8 on 10 ( hard capped) dice.

I also use the above data when factored in to minion damage, damage reduction and HP.

Hopefully this will clear up some confusion.

Presenting Black Jack v8:

Black Jack the Tank
Type: Action Figure
Description: A 1/36 scale model T26E4 'Super Pershing' Heavy Tank model. The

viewports on his mantlet become eyes when he is Awake. Black Jack wasn't designed

to be played with. He wasn't designed to fight space aliens, dinosaurs, lego

monsters, or whatever other bizzare thing his Small pits him against. This bothered

him...at first. But like any truly loved Toy, his steel heart has been warmed into

a magical thing of fuzz by the care and attention of his Small. Black Jack is

convinced he's the toughest machine on the battlefield, and he usually is, but his

competitiveness never gets in the way of his willingness to help his friends.

Armory: 2


Quirks:

Obvious Target: Black Jack receives 2 automatic successes when attempting to

intimidate enemies into attacking him.

Explosive Shells: Three times per night, Black Jack may make his Aim attack against

a location. If the attack hits, it deals damage in a 6" radius.

Frontal Armor: Black Jack's front armor plates are especially thick, and offer

extra protection when faced towards the enemy. Each turn, he may designate a single

foe. Black Jack recieves +1 DR against attacks made by this enemy.

Silver Bullet: Once per night, Black Jack may make his Aim attack against a single

enemy. If it hits, the attack deals Piercing damage (ignoring DR).

Equipment:
T54 cannon (2 points): Black Jack's fearsome 90mm gun hits like...well, like a tank

cannon. His Aim attacks deal 1d8 base damage.

Decided to try and make an accessory character.

Name: Black Market Bill
Type: Constructable (lego man)

If you need a weapon, or a piece of gear, odds are, Black Market Bill has what you're looking for. If not, he can find it no problem.
Ever since he came out of his kit, Bill has been a merchant, a banker, a blacksmith or some other form of salesman, always directed by his small.
He may never have tasted the front line before awakening, and he may be a little greedy and selfish, but he has one dept he can never repay.
Life, given to him by his small, he will do anything and everything to pay his small back.

Quirks

Unseen Helper: Making sure that the Larges never sense his presence, the house spirit gains an automatic success on Tiptoe rolls
Whisperrs of the Wild: With a history of working in barns back in the old country, he gains an automatic success on Tame rolls.
Nightly Offering: If the Small leaves a treat for him, such as a saucer of milk or abit of candy in a shoe, he gains 4 bonus dice that can be used in anyway throughout the night.
Nasty Bite: A diet of sweets and milk without proper dental care is bound to have some unpleasent effects. He gains a 1d4 unarmed brawl attack using the head, and the damage can't be repaired short of primal powers or Small/Large Repairs. If the victim survives three bites, madness sets to set in, and they lose an action.

>>29127482
I revisited the quirks on this character and I think it looks a lot better now

Beam Me Up: Captain Sinistron's Space Invader can transport toys as if it were a full-size spaceship Any number of characters can ride the ship without losing their minor action.

Warp Speed: Captain Sinistron's Space Invader moves by flying. It ignores difficult terrain but cannot make melee attacks.

Evasive Maneuvers: As a major action, Captain Sinistron's Space Invader can perform Evasive Maneuvers, allowing it to use Neverland for Dodge checks.

Make It So: Captain Sinistron's Space Invader is equipped with an all-purpose computer to assist its crew. Allies gain 1 automatic success on their major action when adjacent or riding.

>>29171637
So what about equipment or weapons? You can't make melee attacks and you're not packing a cannon to Boom and attack with since Boom itself is limited in uses.

>>29172375
Actually, Boom has no limit, nor does it require a weapon

Some ideas for Equipment rules:

A weapon that does the base damage costs 1 point. It may have its base damage upgraded permanently for 1 point per upgrade (thus a melee weapon that does 1d6+1 costs 1 point, a melee weapon that does 1d8+2 costs 2).

Perhaps there should also be special modifiers to weapon cost for things like spellcasting and whether or not other toys can wield the weapon?

>>29172433
Boom has no limit? I thought it followed the same rules as exaggerate, that you had as many uses as skill points devoted to it.

>>29172464
See >>29163163

>>29172487
then why play an imagination character if you could only do damage at most 5 times per night?

>>29172506
Because, chained to the same attribute, you would have more skills. Of course, limiting to times per night would also mean it would become much stronger.

>>29172506
Because along with it you could also use a weapon with Boom effects.

>>29168251

I love you so much.

"Roll the Dice": When Crits casts a spell with one of his neverland skills, roll d20. An effect will occur depending on

the number rolled. More than 10's good, 10 or less is bad. 1 means the spell becomes a critical failure, 20 means it

becomes a critical success.
"Magic Missile": +1 automatic success to Boom rolls.
"Roleplayer": +1 automatic success to Lie rolls.
"Beg the DM": Once per night, can reroll a check

Bumpan.

>>29190281
I noticed Boom's dice size was knocked down one. I'm assuming because it doesn't require a weapon, while melee and ranged, which do, do 1d6 as well.

>>29190880
Also, a personality summary:
>Crits has some slight problems in viewing the world. It's not that he's blind, he can see fine - rather odd, considering he doesn't have eyes. It's just that he's played so many roles, been a PC for so many players so many times, that he's convinced that he is one. Up there, he believes, are a bunch of players, and a DM. He finds this a very helpful way to view the world - he always has somebody to blame, whether it's blaming the DM for putting them up against monsters that are too powerful, or Sean K. Reynolds for making his fighter friends underpowered. Either way, if he doesn't defend the Small, the campaign's over - and so's he.

Okay, having played both Dodge and Endurance tanks, I can safely say that those two skills seem to be working as intended.

Dodge is like playing Wash from Firefly-you're a leaf on the wind, right up until you're not. you either dance between the enemy attacks like a butterfly, or get your head taken off.

Endurance is like...well, it's more traditional tanking. You take every hit, and I mean EVERY hit, but if your toughness is high enough, you'll laugh off weaker hits like bad jokes. It takes prolonged punishment to wear you down.

Both styles are vulnerable to being swarmed, so be sure of your position in combat.

>>29194495
Hapy to hear that. It seems that we either settled with or have nearly settled with a defensive system.

>>29194495
Will any rules for flanking and being flanked be implemented?

>>29194577
At this point, I don't see it, but quirks may arrise for team based guys who get bonuses for allies next to the enemys.

>>29194602
How are we going on platoon rules? Allied NPC toys, army men, and monkeys in barrels? Divided HP between platoons and multiple turns or something?

>>29194854
I have no idea. I'd assume each platoon is a part(or more, depending on 2/4) and the hp is divided like that.
For turns, maybe you get an extra move action(for four platoons), but you have to split the four between the units (Each platoon must use at least one action)
