Someone recently brought to our attention that the (non-combat) rules might have said that the difficulty is a set number + 1d10. Did we find out if that was...
... To me the text is a bit ambiguous but that was also my interpretation. However, if that were the case, a difficulty level of 5 could be beaten by Power 2...
The difficulty level is 1-10 vs a roll of a d10 + any skills modifiers, ST does not add to the DL check. Yes it is simple and very easy to beat a 5. That...
... But it shouldn't be easy for a ST 1 character to beat a 5, and under that interpretation he'll beat 6 and lower more often than not. If DL ranges from 1...
I agree with all your points. But I guess I did not make mine clearly enough. TWERPS is about easy roleplaying. You want to get heavy with the details go...
This is what the English rules say about Savings Roll and how I interpret them: HOW TO DO EVERYTHING When characters try to do anything too difficult to be a...
I think I understand. An easy task can still be difficulty of 1 + a roll of 1 on the d10 being a 2. I think the standard of 5 (average) + 5 (average on d10) of...
Well argued! I concede the argument, on these grounds, to you. I have always played with my interpretation of the rules, but yours are vetted as well. as...
... Not only the word Total, but also, "JUST LIKE a to-hit roll," meaning "identical to," so it implies that a die is involved. ... In the German edition they...
This is exactly the way i've always interpretted the way it was written, too. milo On May 27, 2009, at 2:42 PM, "funfungiguy" <funfungiguy@...> wrote: ...
You're totally right. I goofed in my statement. (I haven't played in looong while.) I mean, it makes sense. If the highest starting Strength is a 7, the...
hi I'm new here and well I remembered I once owned twerps and love the stupid simpleness it was. It was so much fun and I would like to try and get back the...

This is only on topic in the sense that it's another game I'm working on. Please don't spam the group with comments about it - I sure won't. The game's own web...
Sounds kinda fun. Were you thinking of a TWERPS supplement? ... From: uni_games <unigames@...> Subject: [How To Do Everything] What I'm doing on my summer...

Hello all I'm pleased to be part of this group as I'm a long-time fan of TWERPS and Jeff Dee's other works. I began roleplaying some 30 years ago with D&D and...
Hiya Thom, and welcome to TWERPS! Glad to have you. If you want to ask any TWERPS questions or start a topic of conversation, please just jump right in. ...
Thanks Garry! I've been very impressed by the variety of great files I've seen thus far. From 30's pulp figures to a pizza-driven Superdudes adventure, it's...

In TWERPS supplements, in the section on Character Generation, we always see how the characters get the first profession or skill free, and each additional...
I play as follows: First Profession is free. The second and any other Professions cost 1 ST each. If your character is ST 5 and takes only his free Profession,...
Yes but how does that affect the ST scores of the professions? For example if he has a ST5 and takes his first free skill as a medic, he should have ST6 for...
