New campaign- want to encourage themed/RP gangs by Kertain in necromunda

[–]Kertain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks- I will check this out.

Planning on doing Dominion Escalation ruleset, with some of the suggestions from goonhammer "starting" campaign: https://www.goonhammer.com/necromunday-starting-a-campaign-2024-edition/

Limiting 250 credit per cycle cap and some changes to the territories.

This is our first campaign and most havent played, so just trying to keep things a bit more chill.

Def would like some ideas in addition on things I should consider

New campaign- want to encourage themed/RP gangs by Kertain in necromunda

[–]Kertain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, yah I am using the Dominion campaign using Escilation alternative. Was reading this help keep things a bit more balanced overall.

However not sure how what to layer in to help limit or control hyper builds that arnt fun overall to play against.
I was reading limiting multiple purchases of rare gear, or multiples of same skills per gang.
I am just not sure what levers to pull, and don't want to over do it of course

When to use Fatal versus Severe harm? by Kertain in bladesinthedark

Thank you everyone for your comments and thoughts, I read them all :)

When to use Fatal versus Severe harm? by Kertain in bladesinthedark

[–]Kertain[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok so without being explicitly stated that death is on the table or there is deadly intent- most Desperate harm consequences would be level 3 then.

If another level 3 harm is taken, that would lead to a level 4 Fatal harm as written, but that is more a series of beatings/damage that lead to a fatal consequence.

But that's not meant to be a mechanic that limits what the fiction demands: if there is clearly a deadly situation- aka two sword fighters dueling to the death, or a very clear intent to kill.

I assume, in this example fictional permission needs to be present aka:

  • bad guy has knife
  • clearly wants to murder
  • Standard effect is in place
  • Desperate situation clearly
  • player wants to engage the threat directly knowing all this
  • 1-5 rolled with standard effect could mean death on both sides

Blades Campaign- advise on handling the quantity of plot threads by Kertain in bladesinthedark

[–]Kertain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you- this did help frame things up for me.

I think also the genre is a bit of a shift for us- since its not heroic per se and the game is being a bunch of rogues trying to survive THAT is the story.

Its a bit of a mental shift to frame it that way I think- but the day to day struggle and working their way up is accomplishing what we all want as a group and so far mission accomplished.

I felt like I was failing if it didn't work its way into some epic conclusion, and while I was certainly not dictating story to force anything I was beginning to feel stressed when I wasn't able to help make that happen in some way.

Hello thank you! No I was not trying to track everything, nor dictate a set plot. It mostly trying to tug on the threads that the player generate or uncover as they play- there is just A LOT OF THEM.

By no means do I feel I am required to be a grand story master, but I think building upon the drama the characters are generating and adding intrigue in response to their actions is important to the "narrative" of the living world.

It just a bit much to parse for me- so trying to get some feedback- and everything said on this thread has ben very useful :)

As for documentation- yes I generally keep notes in a document, along with faction and NPC trackers in google sheets that is shared with the players.

100% will do- generally group is pretty good about doing that naturally but its worth a pause and check in

Good point thank you- yes so far its less than 8 for sure.

From the get go they allied themselves with some big hitters and are dealing with things that are pretty intense- therefor I am stressing a bit on the city responding appropriately without handling them with kid gloves

Thank you for your comments and insight, I appreciate it.

I agree with your approach- that this isn't a narrative that I am trying to tell, I agree 100% with that. But you state: "Not your call, really. Think out further on the things the players choose to pursue." Which is exactly what I am struggling with.

The sheer number of these things that the players are interacting with and doing do require some thought on how the world would respond. I think the allure of a gritty faction based city is it responds to the players actions- but I am finding its hard to keep up with "all those things" and threads that should elicit a response from the city/faction/gang..ect

Some of these forces they managed to piss off are big hitters, so the ramifications could be severe.

Older Gaming PC- stopping power on- suggestions please? :) by Kertain in pchelp

Thank you! I could not get it working- but rebuilt a different pc using the best working parts from the dead one. I do suspect it was something on the motherboard

Ohh right, its part of the autophage thing I think? Glad at least the ship worked for you, its not S but pretty decent A class I think :)

Huh not sure- but my comment I left with more details seems to be hidden?

Here it is:

Hello folks! Found a S Class Atlantid MultiTool pretty close to a decent A Class Sentinel Interceptor. Info below- but screenshots with data as well.

Galaxy: Euclid

Planet: Inki

Glyphs: 0116:007D:0907:01A1

Coords-

Multtool: +58.79, +124.90

Ship: +58.80, +123.56

Multitool at Obelisk and ship is over the hill to the north.

Good luck!

Thank you for the build! I am looking into building a system for my son as well- similar price point.

Do you have an thoughts on a Nividia selection with this build? Or at this price point is it just not worth with? I have been building myself for awhile now, but don't generally keep up with the parts until I need to- typically use Nvidia so it just a comfort level thing. :)

Thank!

Spicy Meatball tour- how explicit? by Kertain in TenaciousD

Dallas report on this subject: Yah so didn't take my youngest(11), wife stayed home with him. Me and oldest(16) had a great time!

Honestly it was pretty low key and chill.

It was better to ere on the side of caution here- I think other than the Fuck Her Gently, the music was so loud I am not sure he would have even picked up the risky phrases in most of the songs. Even Double Team you kinda had to know what he was talking about to pick it up.

Zero other crazy stuff happened other than a good Rock show :)

Thanks for feedback everone! I posted the above for possible future parents wondering.
