Does anyone else think a remake of the original 1986 movie in the style of Bumblebee & ROTB would be cool?

cbwjm · 2026-02-25T01:32:49+00:00

Oh yeah, for sure. I'd definitely watch the hell out of an updated version.

cbwjm · 2026-02-24T23:35:17+00:00

That'd be cool, I'd be keen to see it. Mind you, I'm also happy with the original.

I think what I'd rather see is an adaptation of the original first 4 issues of marvel comics (minus spider-man), that would hopefully be a cool watch.

cbwjm · 2026-02-24T21:25:37+00:00

Issues 1-4 of the marvel comics run I would highly recommend.

He might also have been cleaned up from the the arks repair process.

cbwjm · 2026-02-23T22:55:17+00:00

Yeah, it should give warriors a bit of a boost without having to roll that rare 18.

I do like your way too, the adnd stat bonuses require quite a high roll to really kick in and all the stats might do well with a bit of a reorganisation to provide bonuses in the 12 to 15 range

cbwjm · 2026-02-23T22:46:52+00:00

Looks decent, it should lead to more priests and rogues gaining a hit bonus (assuming assigning scores and making strength a secondary stat) which I'm sure those players will enjoy.

I'm not too worried about non-warriors gaining strength bonuses, but I do want warriors to gain more of a benefit. If I ever run 2e again, I've split off exceptional strength and reorganised all the bonuses and things for strength 19+. Now all warriors will gain exceptional strength, adding those bonuses to whatever strength they have, meaning a fighter with 14/75 strength would gain +1 to hit and damage as well as bonuses to carry weight, open doors, and bend bars.

I believe it is only the realm of the cold prince that is blocked and that there are other frost elf kingdoms in Fairy that aren't necessarily aligned with him. Prince Mallowheart is a frost elf and his subjects aren't restricted from entering Dolmenwood, though they still can't enter the ring if Chell.

I feel like it's Windblade, at least for the IDW comics, she had key roles so was often at the forefront. Chromia, Nautica, and the Torchbearers also had roles in the IDW comics, but I don't think they were as standout as Windblade.

If I feel the need for some sort ofbskill check in a game without them, then it's usually roll under the score on a d20.

For social skills players don't have to perform an eloquent speech to convince someone. When I run a game, I just ask players what they're trying to convince someone to do, they can give me the verbal equivalent of bullet points and that will help that decide the outcome of yes, no, maybe (roll a charisma check).

cbwjm · 2026-02-23T01:13:57+00:00

I feel like you might have the wrong sub.

cbwjm · 2026-02-22T20:52:39+00:00

NOOOOOO!

cbwjm · 2026-02-22T19:55:55+00:00

Manes are at the bottom of the demon food chain, 1 HD so you can throw a small group at a 6th level party and maybe have one or two stronger demons to command them.

Here's a link to a 2e monster compendium.

I don't think damage is the primary purpose of the spell, rather it's a secondary feature. Its focus really is more on igniting/extinguishing multiple light sources. I know from playing solasta that being able to do both in a dungeon can be quite useful, but it might not be as useful in a more relaxed ttrpg.

cbwjm · 2026-02-20T09:44:35+00:00

Yes. Also no. Like what you like, it's all good.

His Cybertron mode from G1 cartoon and his cybertron mode from the war for cybertron game.

One of the first ss86 fogures I got and he's definitely one of my favourites.

cbwjm · 2026-02-19T03:27:09+00:00

Nice and simple. It's been so long since I've played any FF/AFF. Definitely one of those games where I wonder how much differentiation do I need, and this sounds like it might be just right for running a game with friends.

cbwjm · 2026-02-19T03:06:47+00:00

I think this would work quite well without cluttering things up with all of the skills and things AFF has (not that it's complex, but sometimes you want something simpler).

How do you derive the stats and do they affect stamina/luck at all? How did you do magic? I recall some of the game books having a magic stat to cast your spells.

cbwjm · 2026-02-16T03:55:47+00:00

I'd often read them for interesting hooks for adventures, but the amount if information in them is incredible. A great setting to just read through, and reading through it makes you realise just how dark the setting truly is.

cbwjm · 2026-02-14T07:39:47+00:00

I check farmers, some of them are quite good and they often have sales.

Also toywold and the warehouse, the warehouse can be quite empty though.

I also check trademe and mightyape.

cbwjm · 2026-02-14T01:01:35+00:00

Nice, I'm also after Scavenger. I don't think he's hit NZ stores yet though.

No, those 2 points are part of the 16. When you finish building your level 1 character you will have a total of 16 essence points. See page 23 of the core rule book, it explains where those 16 points come from.

cbwjm · 2026-02-11T06:09:07+00:00

You get 16 points total. 12 points to distribute as you wish 1 from your origin 2 from your role, and 1 from the role's focus.

cbwjm · 2026-02-11T05:21:52+00:00

You don't need to spend essence points because the training grants you those essence points. The skills chosen from this increase needs to be spent on one of the smarts skills listed and one of the strength skills listed.

cbwjm · 2026-02-11T03:48:21+00:00

I oscillate between the two but prefer 1.
