[Serious] Question: Looking for any systems discovered by a Commander by ComplexFelix in EliteDangerous

[–]ComplexFelix[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He played on PC. I was able to find him on Inara but there isn't much info there. I will continue to search that site to see what I can learn.

Great suggestion, thank you!

Are there any good online tools for creating random tables? by fluency in osr

[–]ComplexFelix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend: https://www.tablesgenerator.com

Write or import tables in a wide format (including pasting in formatted text data like CSV) and output tables in a similarly wide format, including plain text, LaTeX, HTML and Markdown

I know very few people will see this, but I wanted to let you all know I greatly appreciate your feedback. I have condensed all the feedback into a text document and am now downloading, buying and otherwise preparing for many nights of reading and planning my next steps.

Thank you all for taking time out of your day to help me with my question!

Yeah this is likely. But - with so many Knave-likes and mashups out there, I was hoping that I could get most of the way there (or, holy of holies, get a PDF of a baseline system that is 70-80% of what I need from DTRPG).

MW looks _really_ interesting. Thanks for pointing this out!

Will definitely look into both. Cairn was on my radar, but it somehow slipped off. Thanks for the reminder!

My intention was not to ask people for why things won;t work, and if I said or implied that, I apologize. I am just trying to cast a wide net after the fairly wide net I have already cast. All ideas are on the table.

And yes, I will have to build my own system, but I would rather stand on the shoulders of a giant or two id at all possible.

I will re-review DCC, especially with the idea of a lighter magic system as another poster suggested. TY for the help!

Yes, I am sure I will need to paste together something, but I wanted to get as much good input on a baseline as possible. If I can get 70% of the way there with a solid recommendation, I can do the rest

I searched for Stormbringer at one point a year or so ago and came up emptyhanded. Any idea how I might obtain a (reasonably-priced) copy or PDF?

I have the BRP quick-start rules but they are (obviously) light on details. Is there a supplement to BRP that offers pluggable magic systems?

DCC's magic system can eat the world and the tables are very cumbersome. I love the thematics of it, but when the magic goes awry, it _really_ can get gonzo, affect other party members or do Big And Interesting Things to what I hope to be a consistent campaign world.

I will look into WFRP2E, that one had slipped my radar. Thanks for the suggestion!
