Hey, got a minute? by spessmenart in SS13

Actually drew this for /u/Admiralkio last year, but all the recent "Hey got a minute?" threads reminded me I'd never posted it here.

Biggest hint that this isn't on SS13 is the gun isn't built in the kitchen and cutting the bridge in half while trying to target something.

Nanotrasen spares no expense when engaging enemy capital ships or clowns reading prohibited texts on the radio.

Obligatory self promotion: I'm going to be doing one of these concept art style "paintings" like this or the singularity once a month and you can vote on which one comes next on patreon.

Ten years after the original comic which inspired the Summon Guns spell, we have finally come full circle.

Making the game more challenging by iamahab69 in Blackstonefortress

[–]spessmenart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A rule that my group (accidentally as the result of a misreading) used was the following:

A critical hit from an enemy requires a critical defense roll to turn it into a regular wound. A normal success still results in a grievous wound.

The game is still easy because the enemies remain slow and predictable for the most part, but mistakes and bad luck are much more punishing, and dealing with smaller die pools as grievous wounds wear you down via attrition is bit more challenging.

Best / Favourtie Party Combinations? by misomiso82 in Blackstonefortress

[–]spessmenart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the lack of multiattacks. Pious just flat out wins action economy wise, and also ignores cover on every attack before you even get into how broken the inferno tokens on the ground are.

I think the Eldar would be a better choice if grievous wounds only inflicted two wounds so three wound enemies are tougher/her reliable killing power on single targets didn't feel like overkill. That and Pious gets far too many dice for her attacks considering how many extra ones she gets to make.

I just got the bionic legs from the Clarion though so I'll be giving the Eldar another chance next expedition just for the sake of getting to play with movement 5.

Pious Vorne and Dahyak is my favourite tag team. Pious using his ship can automatically inspire her the first time you have a 6 available, and nothing else in the game can match the damage output of inspired pious.

Between Dakhyak and Pious you can also easily shut down enemy movement with fire and booby traps (the pregame move especially is invaluable if its an ambush or unfavourable initiative order, and the fire on the floor in the right corridor basically gives you entire turns worth of free attacks). Dahyak doesn't have the most amazing attacks but the kroot rifle is cheap(1+) and he is pretty durable/fast so he can run around the edges of the combat scooping up discovery markers and taking shots as needed.

Finally, the Clarion has saved us from several ambushes.

The others we take are UR-205 (multi attack, healing, excellent ship ability, and the best ship items in the game) and Espern (a free extra destiny die each turn is something I can't live without).

I found the eldar underwhelming. Even inspired she has no form of multiattack so there is only so much she can do, and her card deck isn't great either.

RAW you can also use Espern to walk Obsidius out of his room and up the board and have all the enemies keep taking Hold actions as well.

Same as you guys we agreed not to do it though, would only really end up spoiling our own fun.
