Re: Basic Scifi Role-Playing Game

A great start. I can't wait to see where this goes. I do have a couple questions/comments: Regarding the types of skills: Advanced, Expert, or Basic, where Advanced>Expert>Basic. For me Expert sounds like the most skilled type, rather than advanced. Perhaps Master would be better as it adds a level ...

Re: Basic Fantasy Field Guide Volume 2

When I was running a session earlier today I noticed that the gold slime has a movement speed of 1'. This should be 10' and is, I think, an artefact of my copying the green slime stat block when creating it. That is a fantastic ADVI teaman. It's just how I imagined it when I wrote the entry, and mak...

Re: Basic Scifi Role-Playing Game

Levels are my preference as well, it gives characters a measurable level of strength, useful for modules and preplanned adventures.

How would "Standard skills" differ from the class attributed ones?

Re: Basic Scifi Role-Playing Game

Such a system seems quite interesting. Would a class manifest in having a major skill (increases every level), and a couple minor skills (every 2 or 3 levels)? Perhaps a smaller hit dice could be exchanged for another skill. Rather than using XP as a currency for purchasing skills, I would be inclin...

Username change?

I don't suppose there is an easy way to change your username on this forum? I have stopped using this one elsewhere in favour of Fraetor.

Re: Basic Scifi Role-Playing Game

Coming off of the back of reading Dune, this concept really excites me. I think a basic skill system is key to making a sci-fi system. Much can be reflavoured from the regular game, but skills matter more in a technical society than the "might makes right" of many fantasy games. My temptat...

Re: Heist

As someone who has just run a heist, make sure they players have a clear plan. It will help you (the GM) as you will know what to expect the players to do, so you can react appropriately. As an additional aside I like to give the guards during a heist a bit more personality that your typical cultist...

Re: Basic Fantasy Field Guide 2

Thanks Andy, I have integrated these points into my edit. For the Syrinx the attacks are correct as it may only bite when both claws hit the same foe, though it should be poison in the damage. Regarding the number of attacks, not every creature in the core rules has the attack named, and so it is n...
