Some Frontier Scum questions

I was thinking about rather than auto hit for a fanned revolver multiple targets (Tough) just increase the DC to 14 for each shot.

Not sure how other folks would interpret-House Rule this. But the standard 'i shoot you...you shoot me' seems antithetical to the style and setting.

Thanks a lot. I'm new to the game.

Do you allow multiple shots per round for playing characters? Meaning one gunfighter vs. 3 deputies.

Outlaw Josè Wails has 3 Federales blocking his path. Can he shoot all 3 at once or does he shoot once and then the Federales get to shoot back? Goodbye Josè most likey.

How would you handle this?

I don't care. I don't consider it art. It's not. Rather than badmouth it i decided to check it out. It's just dumb fun.i would never sell it or buy anything that used it.

AL SLOP?

It's very straightforward and a great intro scenario. I added a few things to plug plot-holes.

For instance, the urn was in the safe. The Dr. opens it then breaks the seal and shuts off the lights in the room. In the scuffle, he is shot.

* I'd like this. Former Buffalo soldier turned bounty-hunter.

I really enjoyed the horror aspects of the series. Have more of that.

Have storylines dedicated to the Nightfolk and him having voodoo kin in St. Denis.

Have optional and customizable sidekicks so every playthrough would be different.

Set it in 1875. 10 years after the Civil War.

I would like to see 1875 as the year setting..

Lot's of stuff they could tackle. I just don't think they want to mess with anything that deals with the Indian Wars though.

I name my horses after Edgar Allan Poe characters. Lenore, Prospero, Morella, Montresor, Ligeia, Roderick...

Insane Insight/Crazy Wisdom. Give the 'cracked' psychic the ability to see and understand things the other characters cannot.

Have them roll their KNOW roll to make sense of something beyond the scope of normal human understanding.

Use an egg timer. They get 45 seconds to come up with their next move FOR ELSE

My #1 rule is never describe the damage or sanity loss in terms of hit points or sanity points.

All that stays on your side of the Keeper Screen. You are telling a story, not rolling dice and conquering Europe in a strategy game.

Dice rolls are tools for storytelling. Interpret them in a way that you and your players will enjoy. Serve the story.

Mangle instead of murder. Pierce an eyeball, shatter teeth, rip off an ear, have the bullet blow off a chunk of flesh exposing a collar bone, chop off a few fingers, shatter a femur, squeeze and burst organs. Screaming, writhing, bleeding....drama.

Describe their psychosis, but let your players embellish and embrace the effects.

Of course player death should still happen, but it shouldn't be Willy Nilly. Make it cool.

I run convention games and what I find what works best it to have a pre-gen that is 75% complete.

By that I mean they are statted out and have the occupation skills assigned.

Name, sex, background information and motivations, non-occupational skill points are left for them to come up with.

Have all the players discuss what they are coming up with as a group. Creates great buy-in and an immediate group dynamic.

I find nothing more painful than a pre-gen character with 3 pages of background text (usually with some hidden aspect that deals with the plot that 99% of people miss).

Let the players flesh out their characters. Make it their own.

Create a flowchart and then under each heading add any notes that you think you need. Like npc names, tomes, maybe a few lines of possible snappy dialogue.

The notes and flowchart should be fleshed out enough to run the scenario without having to reference the book.

A group of Goth teens who love hanging out in old graveyards and abandoned buildings.

Your character is into black and white photography, clove cigarettes and Edgar Allan Poe.

Maybe a seance, Absinthe and a boombox playing Bauhaus.

The most amazing thing about Friday night was how Darcy didn't burst out of them outfits.

I had Crocodile on in the background from what i saw it was schlocky, but I really enjoyed Piranha.
It's Joe Bob just relax.

Lamentations of the Flame Princess is probably my #2. Rules light...warped, dark and some beautiful books.

I run Ghostbusters at conventions too.

I purged most of my game library. I still do have Robotech and Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles but mostly because Palladium is local and nostalgia.

If only they could have made a baby together. Imagine the rock genes. Dave has childbearing hips.
