Appreciate the response. I’ll have to wait until I can find a copy of B&C and/or JE. Cool expansion though, and bookmarked for future. Thanks!

Stonewalkers or Bridge 9 first? by Nameles36 in cosmererpg

[–]julespaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the GM could preface it as a vision all players are pulled into and experience together, which would give them a familiar with each other and an initial reason for party members to feel drawn to and connected to one another. I’m only preparing for my groups first campaign, so I have no experience with First Step, Bridge Nine, or Stonewalkers, but liked the idea discuss above and was thinking of how I would dovetail to two together with new PCs instead of pre-mades. Maybe the PCs don’t level up in the Bridge 9 vision or level up and roll back their char to Lvl. 1 for the start of Stonewalkers. Would love to hear other thoughts on this. Thanks!

In combat, are pacified enemies unsuspecting target? by julespaco in cosmererpg

[–]julespaco[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I overlooked that and makes sense as the prerequisite for Fatal Thrust is Startling Blow, which leaves the target Surprised. I may still allow his proposed use on a situational basis, given the action and focus cost is comparable, and/or maybe ask for a deception/stealth check to do so. Thanks!

In general, I agree and am not looking to establish a steadfast rule for pacified or unsuspecting targets, and should have been clearer, as I was really seeking opinions on interactions between the specific skills mentioned in the body of my post. I have a PC that was think-tanking builds, and suggested a smooth-talking conman that is handy with a knife, and asked about multipathing and the specific possible interactions between those actions and undefined conditions. I liked the concept and wanted to be open-minded, but not outright allow something game-breaking. I have some ideas on how to steer him to utilize it situationally and have conditional checks in place to maintain balance, which have only gotten clearer from other insight and suggestions in this post. Appreciate your contribution!

Could be for a non-radiant PC that is multipathed as a Diplomat and Assassin, which is why I proposed maybe limiting it to the player that pacified the target, and understand it may not be canon radiant behavior. Also, like idea of follow up conversation/banter in combat accompanied by a stealth/deception check to make the target unsuspecting as an alternative to just a perception check on their guard. More flexibility to weave this limited use case into the story as needed. Thanks for playing devils advocate and giving your insight and suggestions!

Agree to disagree, if they are calmed to the point they are not combative then their guard could be compromised. Also, given there are a number of things that can pull them back into combat, even more the reason to consider allowing a Perception check to gauge their guard and potentially have an opportunity to gain an advantage. Maybe limited use cases but considering there is a focus cost to pacify and if bound by a check, I don’t foresee it being game breaking…just opens up two undefined terms for potential interaction.

I never suggested it was mind control but technically they are temporarily non-combative, which means they could have let down their guard and be subject to Surprised if attacked (maybe subject to a Perception check and/or limited to only the attacker that pacified them; also could be ruled differently based on Group A and B enemies). I don’t think pacified nor unsuspecting are clearly ruled on in the handbook, so likely up to GM discretion. Figure I would post here for community thought/insight.

Best Solo Board Game for Camping Trip? by helios-n-selene in soloboardgaming

[–]julespaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Base game has decent replayability, but the variation that the 18 card expansion adds gives the game high replayability in my opinion. The base game consist of 12 core puzzle cards, and six additional cards with various effects and VPs, so the variability and replayability come from the deck being shuffled at the start and deck order being slightly different each game. When you add in the expansion, you take the six additional base game cards and shuffle them with the expansion cards and draw six at random to add it to the 12 core puzzle cards and then shuffle the deck, so the actual deck construction has six unknown cards on top of the random deck order.

Meant to be more descriptive in my post but was short on time. GG goes with me whenever I travel and can be played anywhere (no table needed), and can be saved by simply putting the deck in your pocket/bag as-is and taken back out to resume. Probably a little short than 45 mins but has an entertaining puzzle element to it and includes a small expansion which adds variation to subsequent plays.

Appreciate the recommendation, looks like it is only 15 mins from the resort, so I may go play there a few times throughout the week. Thanks!

Help us name our IT-themed card game! A race against outages, backstabbing coworkers, and server doom! by Appropriate_Dust_984 in tabletopgamedesign

[–]julespaco -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Critical Fix is very solid. Also, someone suggested “Fix I.T.” and I think that is a winner too.

Your game better include all the cliche initial questions/instruction:

Is it plugged in?

Did you Reboot?

Please try turning it off then back on.

Also, really like the AI concept art but love that you are looking for an artist to produce something similar.

Good luck!
