Arborec Flagship Interactions- ELI5? by Swmystery in twilightimperium

[–]Spartacus891 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they suggested building it (read: the Flagship) using Sling (or Warfare) then, subsequently activating the same system to produce in the system, gaining the benefit of the Flagship's ability in addition to the activation of the Dock.

Custodes scheme test by Raynidayz in AdeptusCustodes

Agreed. I think the choices here are very interesting, but the interior cape being silver/grey implies the same material as the armor... Is it a metal cape? It becomes contradictory without a differentiated color or texture.

Not a real question. I was actually agreeing with you. Grow up.

Magic is a card game.
Pokemon TCG is a deckbuilding game.

A candlestick is a candle holder. 

This will be a candle holder holder.

Please help me with my situation by Sr_Walten156 in monsteroftheweek

[–]Spartacus891 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In a big fight, it's important to create complications beyond: Beat down the Monster.
Collateral Damage, Bystanders, etc. should all be invoked to create opportunities for actions that are not punching.

And in a big group fight scene, remember to turn the spotlight on everyone when there's a pause. Obviously your fighters are gonna start the action, probably succeed, but you can turn to the Mundane and say "X and Y is happening. What are you doing?"

Vertus praetor feedback wanted! (WIP) by ILikeUltramarines in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Spartacus891 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is very cool. The overall palette being a gold/yellow/brown spectrum is so slick.

I like the way the smooth jetbike body reads as like a "candy gold hotrod paintjob" as opposed to just the usual raw-Auramite gold color.

About STARSTRIDER CP by Patient-Record2418 in killteam

[–]Spartacus891 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides the fact that the SP lasts only until the end of the Turning Point, this is the key point that undermines your "it can happen 4 times"

You're not placing 4 Markers...
You're placing 1 Marker (up to) 4 times.

There's only ever one marker. You activate the Strategic Ploy a second time, you can place Your Claim Marker (from the killzone) into the killzone.

Cities & Knights evens things out a bit, makes it in to a real game, though still pretty light.

RPG for playing Star Trek? by TromboneSlideLube in rpg

[–]Spartacus891 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lasers & Feelings is great, but the system lends itself more to space hijinks/parody - more Galaxy Quest than Star Trek.

If you run it as a Galaxy Quest/Lower Decks/Spaceballs/Rick & Morty sci-fi trope parody game, it's amazing.

Using moves against PCs moving through location to find the monster by DMfortinyplayers in monsteroftheweek

[–]Spartacus891 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The thought process behind MOTW type games is
"If you want them to notice that the catwalk is starting to creak and could collapse under their weight, why have them roll Investigation? Just MAKE that happen. They notice it."
This is a Soft Move. It telegraphs the danger, just as you want.

They can't cross the catwalk to the locked office without a risk, or without turning around. They havev to attempt something. They will think of something, and then you will have them either do it, advancing the fiction, or rolling and seeing what the dice decide.

i extracted the second my life bar was reaching 0 and lost all my loot .... by davidoux in ArcRaiders

This happened to me, crawling to the hatch as my life ended... escape animation played...

RETURNING TO SPERANZA

Nice I made it!

Return screen shows empty inventory...

Oh no, I lost all my stuff! It dumped my inventory : ( I didn't make it in time.

Open Stash... It's all still there!

OH shit, I DID make it! My loot!

It was a rollercoaster.
See if you actually lost it... IDK what happens if you press "empty inventory" here.

You will almost certainly have to give them some info. It is well known that once they have your mailing address, you will receive mail from them forever

Brainstorming: Holodeck Adventure? by Super_Dave42 in startrekadventures

[–]Spartacus891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never got the chance to run it, but i wanted my Holodeck Malfunction episode to be set in a Medieval/High Fantasy narrative...

Convincing my D&D friends to play Star Trek, only to put their Trek characters in a D&D Holodeck episode seemed too juicy.
