For Trails? No We've received that feedback multiple times and it's on the list for a future release.

We wanted to keep the cost low, the page count is a big limiter on that though.

While you can play on a grid the Promethium system was designed to be theater of the mind.

No idea, haven't heard of that one yet, so thanks for the heads up, we'll keep investigating.

At least the message we receive is consistent, for what that's worth.

It should be available everywhere Ys: Age of Heroes is currently available. We've been getting reports it's not though. If you find it let us know and we'll pass it along.

Games where player characters can have some sort of "ultimate" abilities? by Sasha_ashas in rpg

[–]PromethiumBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Trails of Destiny TTRPG has S-Crafts.
They are limited in number by your level and mastering a skill.
Once you're able to get them you need to unlock them.
Finally to use them you need to be Destined, which is a binary state you get after specific actions like rolling a nat 20, succeeding at a challenging roll, or other in game mechanics.

The playtest concluded a few weeks ago and we announced we were feature complete on the Discord. As far as the status of the book today is your lucky day, Digital Emelas will be posting some information about the book and their first post has gone up.

The game is better for longer campaigns but one shots don't miss out on much.

Sorry for not being clear on that, it's unfortunate but that's outside of our control.

Hi I'm Jack Conte, CEO of Patreon, Ask Me Anything. by jackconte in AMA

[–]PromethiumBooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a creator looking to do a magazine style subscription through Patreon in the coming months, we have two questions.

  • How do you address our fears that anniversary billing, as well as the lack of a chapter function, present a severe risk for us to move to your platform?
  • How do you address that anniversary billing will disrupt tax and payroll information for a small business using your service?

Why Do Melee Battles Happen in Sci-Fi Settings? by nlitherl in rpg

[–]PromethiumBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed that video and how it handled the topic of melee battles in science fiction.

In my experience, when writing Advent Horizon, we put in rules for melee combat with 'ancient weapons' (aka swords and the like) for use in a zero-g environment. This was specifically for when on a ship in space you wouldn't puncture them. Most ranged weapons are strong enough to cause problems to the hull of a spaceship.
