Re: First Blush
That's always the challenge, finding the players! I've been finding them on the discord server. The thing that I like about the setting is the emphasis on alt-history, and of course the links to Earthdawn. The thing I like about the system is that it has pretty robust socio-economic mechanics (and t...

Re: First Blush
https://shop.fasagames.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=108_148&products_id=1298 I actually really like the adventure in it. I'd run it even if it weren't the Quickstart. I have done Trouble and it is pretty interesting, but more combat than I usually run in 1879. The creatures aren't suuu...

Re: First Blush
It is actually built on the Earthdawn 4th edition CoreStep system, adapted to skill-only. I'm sure the developers can speak to other games - I don't have any experience with Shadowrun itself or savage worlds I don't think I'd be willing to run a PbP. I'm in a couple Earthdawn PbP, and I'm into it be...

Re: Skills - a trick
I allow books as providing a +1 or +2 rank in a particular Knowledge skill. They don't stack with actual skill, and it's a sustained action to access them.

Re: Skills - a trick
Really, between the questors, multi-disciplining, paths, and skills, it's hard for me to imagine how much more customization you'd need.

Re: Ash Ooz [Construct]
Hey! Dig up any old thread of mine any time, Tattered!
A good point ... I think I could write something to take that into consideration ...
Also, I think if they are to be different sizes there should be more variety to justify the different stat blocks. I'll go back into these!

Re: Skills - a trick
You could look at how 1879 uses tags to advance skills. I personally don't use tagging in my 1879 game, but it might work as a way to get around skills for your game. Some of my players are in other games that do use the tags and they like them. You can also give a free skill rank at circle advancem...

Horror Fingers [Construct]
Horror Fingers Horror Fingers are minor constructs that tend to swarm in areas of increased astral corruption. They aren’t too different from Gnashers, although they are more patient and less destructive. Their bodies resemble spiders, though made completely of small hairs that constantly move and ...

Re: Respond In Kind [Special Maneuver]
That's fair. One way to keep it a Special Maneuver would be to let the GMC burn all successes on an active defense to use a Standard Action to target the same Defense. So it gets hit (as the attack succeeds) but immediately gets to return the favor.

The Gang Gets Poisoned
This is not written up very professionally, and I have no idea how it's going to end. Still, I think it's got some good stuff if you are going to be running in the Gruv, and it has some examples of Engine-empowered security. If you are my players, stay out! There are spoilers that will still be spoi...
