Anybody buy the White Dwarf 91 issue? Well in it, it had a two page 'article' on the Ordinatus engine. It even said it was out to buy. So I went to FW and looked around and it wasn't there. So I emailed them and asked. Got this reply.

I basically asked "has it been delayed for a reason or something? IA14 maybe ;)"

But they didn't give anything away. Shame. When is Doom of Myrema Second Edition due out with the Siege Leviathan Dreadnought and shit? I'm surprised there si no IA14 out either.

There's a lot you could work with in a game based on the Soul Calibur universe. Dealing with malfestation, whether being malfested yourself or hunting down the malfested monsters, dealing with plenty of wandering souls trying to uncover answers, beating the shit out of everyone you see, even hunting down Soul Edge or Soul Calibur are all viable hooks.

Hey guys, I want to convince my friends to get into a mutants and mastermind rpg.

Up until now they've pretty much been playing high fantasy rpgs with the occasional 40k stuff thrown in.

They're pretty set in their ways. How do I convince them of the awesomeness of a life of fighting for justice in a modern superhero setting?

Picture related also Mutants and Mastermind thread in general?

Pitch it to them using superheroes that are popular so they have a frame of reference for the power level you have in mind. From there, just start talking about ideas. Most people have thought of what superpowers they'd want or what a cool superhero they'd like to see is like.

From there, you just can't get too pushy about it. The concepts probably won't be what you had in mind, but just let the group have sway here. You don't want to shoot down someone's idea right off the bat for being silly or whatever. Base the tone around what they pick.

Offering to run it yourself can also help. Maybe even do a one-shot with prebuilts just to introduce the system, then explain how it can be used to make their own characters.

Honestly, I don't understand why it is you are burning it, it actually is somewhat enjoyable, especially if played with people you either know very well, or people you already don't really like. It is the ideal family game, because your family belongs to both categories.

Pile on all of the gore, sex, gory sex, and other depraved shit all in the first session, throw in some ridiculous overpowered magical items, and force in some weak love interests with a horde of waifu characters and they'll be hooked.

But all of it's good points are based on not having crunch.

It actually needs less crunch. It's trying way too hard to emulate D&D instead of doing its own thing as a World game.

Stat him for 5e

Or we could not try to stat someone in a system that frankly wasn't made to handle that kind of power level.
>>
>>43530205
>>43530304

No, I got this.

For every stat just put "FUCKASSMAD" and let him kill everything by punching, even when it doesn't make sense, like punching until a planet size object disintegrates, or punching literally god to death.

Simple. He's a plot device.

>>43530304
Eh, not even the power level you can aim for general abilities. That being said Asura is one of those examples of why Monks shouldn't be lawful only.

As the thread name says. I'm looking into homebrew-ing up a system involving aerial combat. 3-dimensional combat hasn't been done properly, in anything that I've found at least. How would someone go about doing it right? Any ideas?

Pic semi-related, didn't have anything better.

Bump.

Which would be better- abstracted height levels, or an exact number? Abstracted = less math, exact numbers = less gamey range system.
>>
There's some WWII ship fighting games that have rules for aircraft where they add an extension to the aircraft's peg base to physically elevate it.

After that, you might as well do away with the models because you're just "flying on instruments" so to say because abstracting it to that degree makes physical representation impossible to pointless.

Until hologram technology is readily available to the average consumer at a good enough quality, 3D game rules like realistic aerial combat are pretty much impossible on the tabletop or mathematically confusing on the page.
>>
>>43531018
>>43529984

I just had a thought:

Could you use the height of dice in an ORE system to handle... well... height? Then just use tokens to represent whether a unit is one the 1,2,3, etc... z level of the combat zone?
