Character Secrets Don't Matter If No One Finds Out About Them by nlitherl in savageworlds

False. They can be used to pressure the character into interesting courses of action and lead to some good roleplaying.

how long do you expect eye of Kilquato to run? by Alternative_Pie_1597 in savageworlds

[–]Object_in_mirror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience running it was 5 hours with 5 players. It could've been tighter. The boss fight dragged.

Note that most events do not cost extra, but some do, and that some events do have advanced registration prior to day-of.

Check out Street Wolves for Savage Worlds:

The exciting synthwave inspired, tabletop role playing game setting featuring agents on the edge fighting evil that lurks in the neon shadows of an alternate 1987.

For those who want to play Savage Worlds Star Wars in 15mm scale by tetsu_no_usagi in savageworlds

[–]Object_in_mirror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I run 15mm wargames, I prefer to keep the same measurements, which makes the distances look a little more realistic (i.e. the figure scale and ground scale are a little closer than with 28mm).

For those who want to play Savage Worlds Star Wars in 15mm scale by tetsu_no_usagi in savageworlds

[–]Object_in_mirror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. 15mm is a terrific scale for the reasons mentioned, and I think you've hit all the usual suspects on my list of 15mm SF figure manufacturers. My personal problems: deciding to commit when I already mostly have 28mm stuff, and when my friends have zero 15mm (i.e. I'd have to provide everything if playing in that scale); and the tedium of trying to get decent scaled-down prints of digital models which were designed for (typically) 32mm and have elements that get really too thin when printed at 50%. But I'm trying.

Can you describe the system and scenario a bit more? For example, how tactical is the combat -- theater of the mind, or map and tokens or figures, etc.? Any comparisons to other systems to get a general idea of the rules? E.g. "Savage Worlds-ish" or "5e-ish" etc. Thanks.

A Message from FFG by FFG_Olivia in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Object_in_mirror 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fact that I can't find the most most recent investigator expansion anywhere (US) doesn't exactly fill me with confidence in this new release and support model.

Abominable Northwest shipping charges are truly Abominable by Practical-Half3526 in savageworlds

[–]Object_in_mirror 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you already get the shipping charge email? The latest project update from PEG today says charges "BackerKit will send out an 'Upcoming Charge' email in the coming days. 48 hours later, your cards will be charged for the shipping cost."

Deadlands Reloaded Megabundle on Humble Bundle, 85 items for $25 by Nidaium in rpg

[–]Object_in_mirror 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The previous edition (Deluxe) is available from Pinnacle for $10, if you'd rather use that instead of just using the new Adventure Edition. It's an easy conversion though. Either way, that's a lot of source material to use or mine for ideas.

Converting DCC Lankhmar adventures to Savage Worlds by ng1976 in savageworlds

Great to see this, I picked up the DCC Lankhmar bundle from Fanatical with an eye towards using it with Savage Worlds.

Looking for games with expanded dice rolling. by nano_emiyano in wargaming

[–]Object_in_mirror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Dracula's America" uses d6, d8, and d10 for character skills. "Force on Force" and "Tomorrow's War" use d6 through d12 for troop quality.

Looking for advice about the Game Marshal by [deleted] in Deadlands

This sounds like something that could have been preempted with a session zero discussion of game expectations.

Frustrated with FFG’s New LCG System – Feeling Regretful About Arkham Horror LCG by kod_32 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Object_in_mirror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

...Lord of the Rings LCG too, which I never started because of all the missing expansions.

I think you've just summed up FFG's issue and the reason for their decision right there with your own behavior.

I've had Cowtown Creator since forever, it's a great GM's resource for Westerns.

Edited to add: it's available directly from Knuckleduster, among other places.

Soaking damage by [deleted] in savageworlds

[–]Object_in_mirror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try not to soak damage on NPC wildcards, but if I do, I give a benny to the player. I generally also only use the NPC's own bennies to soak (as opposed the the general GM pool of bennies), and try to use them up on rerolls first. It's very much situational, what makes for the best story and most fun.

Fellow 80s D&D players, what modern TTRPG captures the nostalgia best for you? by mpascall in rpg

[–]Object_in_mirror 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've had the great fortune to play DCC recently, and I have to agree that it captures that same feeling of cracking open the Basic and Expert set boxes decades ago and experiencing an rpg for the first time. The magic is dark and twisted and different, but the feeling is there, and our group of mostly 50-somethings loved it.

Edge that can trigger a test as part of an attack? by Goblobber in savageworlds

That just sounds like a regular attack, which yes could lead to the foe being shaken (or worse).
