RPGs / Re: Starting Out: Wild Talents

Thanks Tad. I picked up Nerdbound's take on the system a while ago, and have seriously thought about adopting Neil's 'No Hard Dice for attack powers' house rule.

Since WT is very open with it's possible brokenness (IE the stop the sun power and the 10HD for invincibility entry) it would seem that the system is open for house rules.

Any noteworthy house rules for the system?

Also, since I'm a lurker... I wanted to say that Tad's APs of Deathwatch and Rogue Trader are awesome sauce.

that is a very broad question

can you narrow down what you need help with

Since I too was looking for advice in WT, thought I would hijack the thread.

1) Could you clarify the Augment and Variable Effect extras? I've read through them several times, and would love a 'layman answer' about what they do.

2) (Directed at Mr. Payton, or Mr. Church, or anyone who played/ran the Zombie WT game) How did the math come out for will power investment for the time stop power? The reason I ask is that I find the will power investment for hard and wiggle die for such powers (IE the big powers like Cosmic Power and Aces) to be almost too large. If you house rule it, I'd love to hear what you do.

3) 'Permissions' seem like little more than a power check/point tax for diversifying your power or Hyper-skill/stat selection. Am I missing something important about them?

I’m a long time listener to the podcast, long time lurker to the forms, and I'm not a bot that is going to tell you about experiences my wife and I had with craigslist ads.  I just registered to say the following (before sneaking back to the shadows).

Congratulations on the Ennie nomination.

Road trip is awesome, and you deserve the nod (even if you have to go up against DG).
