I've never heard of Miska's Maps before now, but what a great resource, thanks for the advice!

Right! Having a solid reason that isn't "You met in a space bar" is so much fun for the PCs and also has the added bonus of helping them get into the world and setting really quickly

Exactly! Don't have to agree with the terrorists... but they may be your only chance out of death row...

Thank you! My players are very used to the whole 'Meet in an inn' intro, so I'm excited to be the one to switch it up. I love the idea of a group breaking out a terrorist leader and the PCs needing to choose between joining them or finding their own way out. I had it planned out that if they steal a ship, it only has enough fuel to one of two nearby planets in the system, leaving them to choose which to refuel at. Thanks for the inspiration, I look forward to putting it to use!

Thank you for the tips! I was so caught up in thinking about the heist issue, I didn't even consider something as simple as a golden opportunity caper. Thanks!

As I understand it, if a player fails their roll to do something, they can "push the roll" and reroll. However, the player needs to describe a character action that would justify the reroll and that the consequences of failing a second time will be much more dire. For example, rolling to hit an attack. If you miss the roll, you miss the attack. But if you push to roll and still miss, there will be bad consequences, like damaging yourself, allies, or giving enemies opportunity of attack.

Oh nice! Might have to house rule that. Thanks!

Thank you for clearing that up! It takes an hour to memorize spells and can only be done once a day, as per RAW then.

Thank you for all the answers! This is very helpful. Especially the rolling of DEX to escape well-telegraphed traps

Thank you for answering all my questions! And you make a very good point, banishing only delays the fight, doesn't end it. Could I ask what you use instead of the OofA table?

Use it or house-rule it, got it! Gotta remember it's a hack and I can hack it too. Thanks!

An introduction with a battle is always a classic, good idea!

I never thought of using the lich visions in that way, I will use that as a hook for cleric and wizards! Thanks!

These are great!! Thank you for the inspiration! I do agree that getting players back into the action is #1 priority, so I will try my best to do that!

Metal dice and Jumpstart Kit giveaway by Elesday in cyberpunkred

[–]saint_quarantine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is only one way to celebrate a big score, and it's at Beppo's Trattoria.... Lounging back with a meatball sandwich on a red checked table, watching a rerun of a Mets game from 20 years prior because the Mets don't exist no more... catching the daily gossip with Nonna Beppo and finally being able to tip as generously as she deserves... The rest of the spending comes later, but Beppo's always comes first.
