General Chaos / What did you play/run for Free RPG day?

« on: June 19, 2016, 09:11:34 AM »

So ,working with my FLGS , I ran The Play is the Thing:Macbeth and Eclipse Phase: Glory. 
In Macbeth the dagger to kill King Duncan was changed into a rubber chicken that made squeeking sounds when you stabbed with it. In fact in the end all weapons were replaced with rubber chickens in the final battle between Macbeth and Macduff. 

In EP, the best play was when they the Crited an sneak and were able to toss 4 Frag Grenades into most of the drones. Can we say 99 points of damage in the end. Then it turned into a running gun battle with the rest of the Breeders, one of the PC's took a hot face of Plasma so it wasn't pretty.

RPGs / MaoCT Monster creation

« on: June 18, 2015, 09:26:43 PM »

So Reading through the book for monster creation I am a bit confused. I understand the hit locations and assigning dice to them.
Now if I read it correctly you get one  quality for free(Attack,Defend,Useful) that is before you add more stuff. So if you have attached 7-10 as a hit location then that means you get 15 dice worth of stuff,since you can't go over 10 then the other 5 points you need to use for qualities or extras. \

SO in the 15 example the first Quality is Attack(that is free), then the second Quality is Useful,that cost you 1 Dice. Attaching Wicked Fast 2 and Gnarly 2 to Attack cost another 4 so therefore that eats up the other 5 Dice which then drops your pool to 10.

Is that correct way to build the stat?

General Chaos / News reporting FAIL

« on: August 17, 2012, 08:11:24 AM »

SO if you have heard ,EBAY will not longer allow the sale of Magic spells,potions, prayer services etc. Therefore that is something that the news channels will talk about. On Good Afternoon America on ABC (AUG 16 episode) at the 6 minute mark they wanted to inform the viewing audience about this important information ,but the screen shot that was shown while the pretty man talked on was a screen shot of EBAY ,but they were Magic:the gathering CCG lots. Way to FAIL, Way to FAIL.

I wonder if there will be a backlash,if any? Will Timmy's mom who was watching that show overreact and burn all of little Timmy's cards for they are something of the occult and demon worshiping. Just like M:tg was demonized in the late 90's due to the images on the cards of demons, devils and other scary things.
