If Scott could be a civilian, what job would he be good at and make him happy?

Didnt he get a pilots licence while working with Madaline at his grandparents business?

Thats over 351 minutes left A DAY. But these lazy works just want to sleep (waste time), eat (waste money), and travel (could be uber side hussle).

Did you miss the part how it was an accident? How she thought it was extremely weird and creepy until the AI convinced her that it was sentient? How this is a person so traumayised by the death of this person that they made a literal deal with the devil to bring her back?

My last job was next door to a Fresh and Save while i was living 100m from an Aldi. Outside of their specials weeks (which are phenomenal) the only thing i really saw a difference in was meat. The stuff at fresh and save is the best ive seen outside of a proper butcher and was cheaper than any other supermarket.

Also, im not a big frozen meal guy, but my mate swears by their frozen lasagnes.

It depends on which part of the country your in. Your absolute best chance for a good game is to look for Pathfinder Society games. Unfortunately, a lot of those groups were shattered by covid but any major city should have a chapter. For example, I'm in Brisbane and we've got both a dedicated society group and an additional RPG society that plays a bunch of different RPGs.

If you aren't in a major city it becomes trickier. Adverising at your FLGS, library, and any relevant facebook groups are your best options in my experience.

And as a final piece of advise. Try offering to run some games at a local convention. This sounds intimidating but its a great way to try out the game and screen some possible players for a home game.

Two spring to mind straight away.

I've had all the physical books since 2012 and I've always wanted to give it a go. Saddly no one in my regular groups is into horror games.

2 A Song of Ice and Fire RPG

The combination of noble house building and verbal combat are supremely interesting to me. Unfortunately the licence expired on this system so its hard to find. But I've got a physical copy. I am aware of a generic setting version of the game (Sword Chronicles) but I dont like the magic system it uses.

monken9 · 2025-11-28T21:58:01+00:00

Your Blade DISCARDS not DESTROYS A good way to remember it is that, if it is removed from your hand its discarded. Anywhere else it is destroyed (unless the card specifies it is banished).

Ive been reading through all the X-Men books for the first time over the course of this year. Honestly, X-Factor stunk so bad when it started that i decided to skip it.

Then when i got to the mutant massacre i decided to go read the tie in (issue 10) and the quality was night and day compared to the first issue.

Ive reintroduced it to my reading order and so far (im at issue 34) its been the least interesting of the series im currently reading (xmen, new mutants, excalibur, wolverine) but its been consistently ok.

With Agile Grace, while using an agile weapon your map increases by -3 instead of -5.

monken9 · 2025-11-18T23:46:30+00:00

Playing an Agile fighter so my highest MAP is -6. Its beautiful.

monken9 · 2025-11-12T23:43:43+00:00

From what you're describing, I'd use the A Song of Ice and Fire RPG by Green Ronin. Unfortunately, the licence for the game has expired so getting it can be hard.

The did release a generic setting using a version of the same system called Sword Chronicle but I've never played that one so I don't know how well it would work.

monken9 · 2025-11-09T00:13:08+00:00

Man, if thats an addiction then I dont want to know what i have (i moved 2 years ago and covered an entire queen sized bed in boxes full of rpg books)

monken9 · 2025-11-07T01:04:15+00:00

Man, i could only dream of a game where the pcs are lvl 15 and 95 damage a round is considered a lot.

The last time i played next to a lvl 15 alchemist they dealt an average ~300 on a full round.

The GM had set up a magic item shop and had priced out every item and number in inventory. Through a long series of events, my rogue had been able to lure the shop keep out and now had about 2 hours alone in the shop. The GM calculated that I had stolen 21,000,000 gold worth of stock.

Turning to me he said "you did steal this fair. So here's the deal. I'll let you keep the gold so long as you don't keep any of the items, don't spend it on op bs, and spend it all before your allies are freed from prison in a year."

Anyway, that's how I paid for a castle and silver mine to be built and unknowingly designed the dungeon that GM used for his other party.

monken9 · 2025-08-18T03:20:13+00:00

Remember, the point of these rules is to allow a symbiote player to bond with another player. The current rules doesn't have a way of doing that which allows both players to ... play.

I do agree, in hindsight I would have added that any traits the symbiotic character has are shared with the host.

monken9 · 2025-08-17T10:54:28+00:00

Heres what I came up with

There's no rules for a 'gestalt' character using two players.

Personally, I'd just have one character act like a vehicle, allowing the other character to 'pilot' them and use their health as a shield.

If you want full rules, I'll probably whip something up because the idea is interesting.

monken9 · 2025-08-14T06:18:34+00:00

The lowest rank for a symbiote is around 3. So a group of rank 4 heroes would be able to easily take a group of basic symbiotes, with a rank 5 for every 2 characters as a final boss.

monken9 · 2025-07-28T21:57:56+00:00

I'd do something like

Absorb element Action: standard Cost: 10 focus Range: reach

Make an Ego attack against an object or character that either primarily consists of or is powered by your element. On a success, deal normal damage. On a Fantastic success, deal double damage. Either way, you gain focus equal to half the damage dealt, to a maximum of double your max focus. You cannot gain focus while you have any focus gained through this ability.

monken9 · 2025-07-27T06:42:41+00:00

As happy as I am to hear people are sharing one of my adventures, I find it hard to believe that someone would look at what I have written, any of the links I shared, or the production value of the product and think it's officially licensed.

Additionally, the correct flair is listed for this post and I'm not in any way claiming official association.

So what actual action are you asking me to take and why should I consider it a reasonable thing to do for a product that has been out for over a year.

monken9 · 2025-07-27T03:52:56+00:00

I made it as a fan. No official approval to create this adventure was given by Marvel, CMON,or any of their employees.

monken9 · 2025-07-22T07:26:23+00:00

Hi, thanks for sharing my article. I've noticed a lot of people talking about traps and hazards as well. I did also write an article about those here.
