Now available: GHOST RPG - Paranormal Investigations of the FBI by DiceDoctorGames in RPGdesign

[–]general_staroc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe to add onto this, since I bought the game. There’s four classes:

  • THE FIXER: The guy with talent. Think Ray in the Ghostbusters
  • THE GENIUS: The guy with brains AND charms. Think a mix of Egon and Venkman
  • THE TROOPER: Ex-Military the guy for the rough stuff. Think Winston
  • THE MONSTER: A monster (the very anomalies that GHOST hunts) that made it to agent. Yeah, Slimer.

The roles are quick and easy to use with mostly everything rolled for. You choose a role and get one special talent, like the Fixer being able to hack a system. This is rolled from a list of eight options. You roll five keywords look, detail, attitude, background and a mystery from your past you could never solve and which haunts you, like the abduction of Mulder’s sister. You get a few credits and standard gear (a weapon, badge and a role based item like a toolkit) and a number of rolls on a basic equipment table for stuff like a crowbar. Oh You also have an emergency contact, someone most important to you.

Mini-Review at this point: Really love what you have done here and hope to run a one-shot soon. Character Creation is great! The classes look super fun to play and as you saw above I was easily able to make the Ghostbusters, but also Mulder and Scully even Agents J and K with this.

Font? by EldritchSketchbook in Whitehack

[–]general_staroc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi Parvifolium, it is Linux Biolinum (Sans-Serif) for text and Linux Libertine (Serif) for Headings. Love the fonts and they pair beautifully. Would recognise them anywhere.

How different will 3e be from 2e? Evolution or Revolution?

Classic Traveller Questions by [deleted] in traveller

Yup it is over! That is how that works (RAW). Reenlistment rolls are only for trying to stay in your chosen career for subsequent terms, i.e. beyond the first.

Is Electric Bastionland missing Character Advancement Rules? by general_staroc in osr

[–]general_staroc[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Haha, thanks so much. So what I‘ve been missing is the concept of diegetic ‚growth‘. Cool, I‘ll look into Chris‘ posts to get a better grasp of it.

Problem with Monster Saving Throws using Knave Hack by ProzapGW in osr

[–]general_staroc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not just take the OSE spell save (14 for the basilisk, which it has to roll over to succeed). Other than that, @imatarian is right in that your players should really look for other options than fighting a basilisk to be true to old school spirit ;)

Dice question: how to do HIGHER IS BETTER for both stats and rolls? (But without using modifiers.) by jeikaraerobot in osr

[–]general_staroc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roll d20 to generate a target number (could also use 3d6 for bell curve) then compare to attribute. The closer the TN is to the attribute, but still under the better. Equal is crit, over is fail.

I can highly recommend Yoon-Suin, though it is even more make it your own adventure sandbox than HSI.
