What are your thoughts on this game?
>>44056559
Ive been interested in it for a while, but im afraid that it'll be too railroady for an TTRPG. From what I've read at least (which isn't a whole lot mind you, only like a few pages at the start and some character gen stuff) it seems like theres one ending you always work towards.
>>44057561
Railroady isn't a problem I've had with it, care to elaborate?
>>44057600
Idk i just felt from what i read which if u read from my earlier post was like a few pages of story and character gen that the ending of every story would be the same. Like you find the mystical place and then your done. I didn't go into the gm section since i would want to be a player if i ever played the game.

Nowhere as cool as its predecessor, Heirs of the Apocalypse.
>>44057561
It's far from railroady. It has a fairly focused metaplot, but that's completely optional. Besides, each new "splat"book introduces a new metaplot.
The only problem with it is being rules-light and freeformy, but a lot of people seem to like that these days.

>>44058052
But that's exactly what you do if you play the Ulvriket campaign
I'm a little confused on how armor works. You roll only the black dice (gear) to prevent damage?
It has some interesting concepts but beyond that it's pretty bland.
>>44058190
I know. And that's the problem. I'll never be able to, because my RP group is strictly online and doesn't have a single swede in it except me, and the game isn't translated (or translatable in any easy way).
Woe.
>>44058243
yes, for each atomic symbol you lower damage by 1 and for each explosion symbol your armor loses one gear value (it can be repaired like normal). This isn't considered an action, its just something that happen when you're attacked with any weapon (it doesn't apply to things like cold damage etc unless it specifically says it does)

Where in Sweden do you live?
I dislike change, so I don't like it. But even so, I've heard that it's mostly about life when everyone rises out of the enclaves, and I'd prefer if there were a more evolved civilization to work with.

>>44058454
this is a strange thread90
>>44058432
Can't help you then sadly, seeing as I live in the northern frontiers of the Pyricommunion
Does the other books (the one about mutant furries and the one about robots) use the same rules?
>>44058472If you're born here, where did you go to school?
If you're not brutally retarded, I'm up for playing after new year's
>>44058479
We could always try using skype for it, like I do with practically everything these days

>not keeping Stockholm and Gothenburg as the setting when releasing THE Swedish post-apocalyptic franchise in English.
Way to drop the ball.
>>44058500
Same basic rules yes, they're compatible for mixed-class parties.
>>44058515
Wait, they changed it?
Wow that's fucking dumb.
>>44058533
It's New York and London in the english book.
>>44058509moved here for uni
Perhaps this is something we should start a new thread for.
>>44057959
That game had some terrible rules (nearly all skills are tied to agility and to a lesser extent intelligence) and way too many lame puns and silly, nonfunny jokes("hur hur, he said röv! Again!").
>>44058514
I'm sorry, but I only RP face to face. There are reasons.
But I wish you all the luck and may the Emperor favor you.

It's like you want to be raped by the Lion Order or something.
>>44058595
Same, lad. In the Kaiser's name.
>>44058581
The system has some flaws but in its entirety it's a lot more interesting than year zero. I had more even trying to fix the old system than I had just reading the new one.
As for the puns, you either like them or you don't, but they're nothing like you're trying to make them seem and you know it.

It's like if the English translation of S.T.A.L.K.E.R had set the game in Alabama.
>>44058638
Not that this wouldn't have made for a cool game in itself, but we'd have missed out on a metric fuckton of slav memes.
>>44058543
>>44058638
I mean I would have been totally cool with them introducing those cities, and many other international ones, as extra/optional ones like they did with the Swedish release. But it's just going to feel disconnected to put the game in NYC by default.
>>44058666
Also not a lot of well known nuclear accidents in Alabama.
