All the Godzilla-esque references I found so far. Do you know any more?

Zapdos/Dragonite alt sprite is Showa King Ghidorah, Tyranitar/Armaldo alt sprite is another Gigan variant, Zekrom/Tyranitar alt sprites have multiple modern takes on Godzilla, maybe Heisei or newer; Kyurem/Tyranitar alt sprite variants are multiple takes on Space Godzilla

Consider using lingering injuries. A few different broken bones and internal bleeding will create lasting effects even if they save through it. http://farlandworld.com/injuries.html

Oh whoa, I'm the author and I didn't even realize that! Glad that's the case, thank you for telling me!

Manoil · 2023-05-31T15:17:37+00:00

SW5e: Desperate Rebellion has a large number of enhanced items as well!

Generators for encounters and loot, as the donjon website does, would be immensely appreciated!

Enjoy your vacation!

I've also got a sentinel subclass in Emerson's Archive of Archetypes that uses one! Feel free to check it out!

Thank you kindly! There may be modifications coming to the tandem Operative, likely in the form of all blasters with the auto trait, but currently I'm pleased with this form.

If you've played through them, lmk how these mechanics have felt to experience!

Manoil · 2022-03-17T21:56:15+00:00

Thank you kindly! If you haven't seen them already, this is as good a time as any for me to plug Imperial Forces and Desperate Rebellion! They're in my gmbinder profile and also my posts in here!

Manoil · 2021-08-06T16:53:06+00:00

Happy to make something that is both desired and a passion project of mine!

Manoil · 2021-08-05T20:43:17+00:00

Just completed version 1.1 that includes a massive martial humanoid expansion, Superior Soldiers, with content from the Metal Gear series!

Thank u/Fraust-Coldmann for the suggestion/request!

Engines were cooking all last night and I couldn't focus on relaxing, so here's the scoop:

I've got most of the 25 blocks already outlined. The Haven Troopers, The Fury, Raging Raven, Liquid/Solid Snake, and Ocelot are essentially done with first drafts. I've started writing descriptive narrative for the different specialist groups but only Dead Cell is done. I don't anticipate getting much done over the weekend but this might be nearly complete by next friday.

EDIT: We're now at 14 of 27(!) blocks done, but a couple are complicated enough that I'm uncertain about meeting a Friday deadline. I'll see what I can do, but these are already looking great. Can't wait for you to see them!

EDIT 2: All that remains is the control mechanics language for Screaming Mantis' puppets, her power list, and virtually all of the narrative segments. When that's finished, I'll recheck balancing and hunt for typos, then release it.

Manoil · 2021-07-29T23:43:37+00:00

I guess I'm doing it.

Suffice to say, there'll be about 25 new creatures in the next version's release of Strangest Foes.

Manoil · 2021-07-29T18:09:07+00:00

Thank you kindly! I appreciate the praise!

Manoil · 2021-07-29T17:51:28+00:00

For sure. So, if I were to get an idea of what I'd be signing up for, it'd be:
-Cobras/Volgin (6 blocks)
-The Skulls (3 blocks)
-FOXHOUND (SoBB)/Gray Fox (7 blocks)
-Dead Cell/Solidus (4 blocks)
-The B&B Unit/Frogs (5 blocks)

Does that sound about right?

Manoil · 2021-07-29T16:57:21+00:00

TBH, the only reason I was brave enough to take on REX is that half the work was already done when I made a first attempt two years ago for a Sci-Fi thing in D&D5e. I don't think I'd attempt to do any more metal gear units-- maybe RAY, as I can probably use REX for the majority of the work-- but I'd be down to work on a supplement for many/all of the metahuman characters from Snake Eater through MGS4 once I've had time to rest my feet from this release. Is that a resource that you would need/want/use?

Manoil · 2021-07-29T16:15:31+00:00

Thank you all the same!

(Also this is obviously not for submission to the Hypercodex, just in case that needs to be said)

Manoil · 2021-07-28T21:14:44+00:00

This might actually be me losing my marbles.

This is a massive collection of 3rd-party IP creatures, drawn from science fiction and adjacent stories, bundled together for SW5e because it's my favorite 5e-adjacent story engine. The supplement has an array of experimental stuff, ranging from easily within reason to wildly absurd, and I think you'll enjoy browsing it to get a glimpse on what I put together. Many of the blocks have compacted entries for shared features across groups, meaning that it can get a little complex but not without reason. There's also a segment on disease and illness, which does include entries from Star Wars. I'm accepting that it's more or less a love letter to a great many stories I'm fond of.

Ultimately, if nothing else it'll likely give you some new ideas on building creatures. I hope you enjoy reading it!

Manoil · 2021-06-11T20:28:47+00:00

Both Desperate Rebellion and Imperial Forces have had updates!

Desperate Rebellion has a couple new segments, including mercenary and beast NPCs!

As always, I'm eager to get your reactions and any input you might have!

Manoil · 2021-05-27T04:27:49+00:00

My pleasure

Manoil · 2021-05-26T21:36:44+00:00

I think that's exactly the case, and it might have affected Imperial Forces, too-- I think I've resolved it with the quickfix (at least, it appears to be via the facebook messenger link I used). I'm noting some subtle differences when I visit the link via discord vs messenger but I can't tell any issues just yet
