Hi all, Been thinking about this multiplier for 'epic' life points. I'm trying to convert the TSR game Star Frontiers so that my hack and slash group will be...
Hi all, I must be reading something wrong, can someone set me straight. Healing process: (medic's ST + healing skill bonus + 1d10) vs # of points lost off ST ...
Hello. I thought 1. to do something: the player rolled added Strength and modifiers, the GM rolled added Difficulty Level. The player has more = success. The...
Hi all, Some more ideas on how to do a TWERPS hack and slash. Instead of using a multiplier on the hit point, you could use the armor method from my last...
It got me to thinking, though... armor would get real expensive real quick! I thought about suggesting, "the dv is how much from each hit the armor will...
lol, Glad you liking some of the brainstorms. I'm running into lots of little things as I convert from Star Frontiers to Star FronTwerps. Weapon Ranges has...
Don't know what the legality is, but as long as it doesn't step on TSR/Wizard of the Coasts toes, I'm willing to post the results of the Star Frontier ...
OK, but that also means I can throw a rock as far as I can a pistol? Hmmmm. Let's think then. Aha... another perversion of someone else's idea! Guns should...
I've taken the Damage Value idea in kind of a different direction, and added it to Weird West 3.0 (soon to be posted! lmao). The write- up is below. As a...
Brian The way your using it is exactly what I was thinking, for a standard TWERPS game. Guess I wasn't explaining it right, sorry. Hadn't thought of the...
When you throw something, the momentum of the object dimminishes over the distance that it flies. What you could do to simulate this is set 40 yards as the...
... Hadn't thought about something as simple as doubling the ranges. Hmmmm. My method did take into account range modifiers but they were based on distances ...
In howtodoeverything@yahoogroups.com, Brian wrote: If a piece of armor gave a +2 def, then the DV would degrade on a tie or a win by 1, etc. ... likely it is...
Grrrrrrrr.... you have a point. I intended that if the armor was the only thing that prevented damage, then a vital part was hit and it's not quite as good...
Ron makes a good point, I missed the escalation from Tie rolls to Tie or Miss by 1. My thoughts were that one way the other would apply to all. ... I really...
Hi Dave, Your absolutely correct, I just had a massive stupid moment. Apparently, the basic rules as put out by gamescience didn't mention the 1d10 being...
hi John, That's a good idea and solves my range problem for this irritating conversion process. I'll transport the original weapon ranges from the TSR game...
Hi, anyone got some suggestions on how to do telekinesis? The tricky part is, knowing the players I will have, they will instantly try to use it as an attack....
Hi Try explaining it with some mix a of impulse/force/mass cancelling and movement control! If you add some wear-off time, you'll have a nice peaceful...
... tricky part is, knowing the players I will have, they will instantly try to use it as an attack. Either by trying to levitate the opponant, drop something...
I like the GURPS idea of associating telekinesis with a power level, so that the mass & speed of movement is determined by the ammount of raw power [ST] behind...
Hmmm, all good ideas. I'll have to think these over. Samir - a bit physics heavy for me, but I think I understand it. Your saying that since the force that...
Necrotech! Good to hear from you. I think I understand the logic behind the wear-off and impulse situations. The rock description reminds me of a discussion I...
... That is the same principle they teach for throwing punches in almost all the martial arts classes ... I'm limiting uses by following the same rules as...
I never thought about doing it like the spell system in TWERPS Magic! As far as how psychokinesis should be handled, I like the can't see it can't affect it...
Hey Brian, If your interested, here are the Telepathic powers that I'm using in my Star FronTwerps setting, based on the Magic system. In fact, you will...
This has been nagging me in the back of my head since the subject came up. In the movie Firestarter, wasn't Drew Barrymore's power to start fires a form of...
