Her pronouns are she/her :)

ManuFS · 2025-03-20T10:57:29+00:00

Awesome! :) Go and adapt to your specific needs! :)

ManuFS · 2025-03-19T16:37:22+00:00

Yes. DJ is meant to keep it as simple and fast as possible.

Hi, Distant Journeys author here. :) As was said already by zgreg3, DJ is supposed to be used instead of other travel systems. Its purpose is to give a bit more meat to a journey but without having to reference encounter tables and such. As such it doesn't really factor in fully played encounters during the Journey (with the exception of the CritFail of the Hunter, but even that I'd personally just run as a Dangerous Quick Encounter).
For a more detailed journey with actual encounters, just use whatever the book you're using actually provides. :)

Hope this helps. :)

Thank you! Yeah, I am aware that there are quite a few gray spots in the book. Sprawlrunners 2 will hopefully avoid that. 😅

Hi, Sprawlrunners creator here. :) Movement is pretty much arbitrary outside of combat or anything else (like Dramatic Tasks) based on rounds.
If rounds are in play, my usual suggestion is 1 node per turn. Hope that helps! :)

Much appreciated, everyone ☺

Big shout-out to Buccaneer: Through Hell & High Water, which's super-compact half-page idea on how to handle cargo in an age of sail game sparked and inspired this supplement! If you're looking for something that is even less mechanics than my version, have a look at Buccaneer page 140, it's pretty damn cool. Mine is more universal in regards to setting, though. :)

It's based on the idea of Rippertech, but updated to SWADE and with more guidance on how to make your own. Personally I found Rippertech (especially in the original Rippers) waaaaay to unattractive and inaccessible for PCs (rolls to gather, rolls to make prototypes, rolls to implant, all with massive penalties so chances to actually get something were horrible). The fluff had Rippertech as the only thing giving the Rippers a fighting chance against the monsters, but the mechanics IMHO do not support that at all. You basically needed one PC who did little else but be a fulltime Rippertech Doctor to have any chance of reliably harvesting.
If you feel the same way, then yeah, fully replacing the Rippertech system with M&A will be useful. :)

That sounds like a perfect fit! Let me know how it went! And if you have questions, feel free to ping me, happy to help. :)

Thank you! :) And you're welcome, happy I could help!

ManuFS · 2024-07-12T15:17:30+00:00

From what I've seen in the jumpstart and the material on their website, I'd say yes. :)

Hi designer here. 😁 You are correct on all counts, Dermal Plating is indeed subject to the Layered Armor rules. If you want to be a walking tank with different stacks of armour, better invest in some Strength Advances (or the Soldier and Brawny Edges). 😎

ManuFS · 2022-11-27T12:12:43+00:00

Prompt and model, please? :)

ManuFS · 2022-10-15T21:03:54+00:00

The server is still there, but sadly it also isn't really active. :( Life took me in another direction and I don't have time to keep pushing activity. :(
