I've just started reading through Big Eyes, Small Mouth 3rd Edition, and it is quite interesting. For instance, two major flaws of BESM2 seems to have been...
Hi, folks I've been toying with a system that uses three dice for resolution, with a choice of what the dice are used for. The original thought was for combat:...
This is a similar idea to the skill mechanic used for "In Nomine". You roll 3d6. One of the d6's is the level of effect. The other 2d6 is your skill roll....
I like the idea, however it does seem a bit divorced from skills and traits. A system that's a bit different I tried for my SF game, used the degree of success...
I like these ideas, very shiny and interesting - however, from my perspective, there's one problem. No bell curve. This is not a problem from many people, but...
... This reminds me of a conversation I had with Dave a couple of years ago about attributes. I was looking to create a system with just a few core attributes...
... I proposed a similar system here a year or two ago. I don't recall the details, but IIRC it used three dice (which depend on your skill and stat) and used...
... I may not have been clear enough, then. The idea is (in the last option described) to add one die to skill to determine success, another die to a speed...
... Maybe you could rate the Skill, Speed, and Quality Traits in terms of dice... Roll 3 dice, and then pick one of the 3 to add the Speed Die to, highest...
... Under this approach, would the player be required to determine which die (high/med/low) to apply to success _before_ they rolled? Otherwise, I imagine...
... This is one of the things I'm undecided about. Making the call first (e.g, "high die on speed, low die on quality") will add complexity and slow things...
... It sounds very interesting. If someone tries it, I'd love to hear some play reports. ~Talus [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
... If you check my suggestion, that the Skill, Quickness, and Quality Traits added to the selected dice be dice themselves, then it can be possible to pick...
Hi all, I have made an updated version of my Die-roll system "Troll". The main addition is the ability to mix text and numbers, so you can, e.g., produce lists...
... You can find details in the manual suppled as a PDF file in the zip file. In brief, you run it from a command line giving command-line parameters to...
Heya all, ... It was a DOS program; command-line and all that. The program came with a number of files for various languages (I recall Finnish, Irish,...
... That functionality isn't all that hard to replicate. If nobody finds it for you in a couple of days I could make a stab at it, but there are others on...
Um, so the language files contained syllables rather than actual names? ... program I used to use some years ago -- around the late 90's to early ... recall...
From: Daniel ... names?<< Not really syllables, just letter combinations of varying lengths. You could include the same combination a number of times if you...
From: David Lamb . ... it for you in a couple of days I could make a stab at it, but there are others on this list who program faster than I do. The big deal ...
Dunno if this is the one you had, but check out <http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~pound/>. It's what i've used in the past, with great success, and it sounds like it...
Greetings, ... I happen to have built a program to do something like that sometime ago. It was not exactly as described, but it used a 'name file' listing...
... Amazing. I would like to see this. The names are distinctly non-English-y Continetal Europeanesque fantasy names. Something I definately need for my ...
When I wrote a name generator program, I basically built up the (equivalent) language file by taking a bunch of real names from a friend (a list of all names ...
Hello, ... I will work on it when I have some time. But, for now, I think you can use the link provided by woodelf [1], which dwarves my little experiment in...
