General Chaos / Re: What Vidja games are you playing?
« on: June 29, 2013, 10:28:16 PM »
The game is sort of a sequel to 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. You don't really need to play 999, since Zero Escape stands very well by itself, but if you want to get the story yet don't own a DS or the game, you can try this Something Awful Let's Play that was recently completed.

Is that LP mirrored anywhere else? I dont have a SA account, and I tried searching a bit and couldn't find it on youtube or lparchive. If not, then the guy who did the Deadly Premonitions LP did one of it I could watch (although its his first run through, unlike other stuff he played through a couple times before, but I also just got done watching his Spy Fiction LP, so I'm kinda getting used to him as the guy who plays other games for me.)

From experience, an SA account is absolutely worth the :10bux:. They have the awesome LP forum, and they also have a kickass traditional gaming forum that is absolutely full of cool RPG stuff.
Plus you have access to all the other forums.

I need to get around to watching 999, Slowbeef was talking it up a ton on his podcast a few months ago.

RPGs / Re: The Great Kickstarter Bet Game - On Once More!

Weekends are doable. I'm EST, and at least one of the players is GMT, so I would probably look at a morning game (7-8-9AMish EST) to make things fit.

Character Creation and Example Pregens!
This is mostly off of memory from reading the rules this weekend, refer to the (freely available) rules to check me. The pregens are rough, I may tweak them a bit.

-First come up with a High Concept for your character! This will be your first Aspect, and helps form the base of your character.
-Next figure out a Trouble for your character! This will be your second Aspect, and it'll be used against you to give you FATE points and get you into all sorts of fun problems.
-Next, you can come up with two more Aspects. These should be something cool about your character - something they do, have, or want. Give them fun names!
-Your last Aspect is a Friend Aspect, and will be related to one of the other characters in the game, and will focus on the relationship between the two of you. This could be friendship, rivalry, or something similar. Give it a fun name!
-Next, we select your Approaches! Characters can Approach problems in six different ways: Careful, Clever, Flashy, Forceful, Quick, and Sneaky.
-Choose one approach which will be Great and get a +3, two approaches to be Good and get a +2, two approaches to be Fair and get a +1, and finally one approach will only be Mediocre and get a +0.
-Finally, you choose Stunts! Stunts follow the following format: Because I am [person/place/thing related to your character], whenever I use [a specific Approach] to [Attack/Defend/Overcome/Create an Advantage] under [particular circumstance] I get a +2 bonus.
-Other Stunts could provide a different sort of one-time bonus to break the rules of the game by a little bit - an example would be having an ally or two show up or coming up with a brilliant one-use invention on the spot.
-Stunts should also have fun names!
-I may be remembering this incorrectly and will check the actual rules when I get a chance.

RPGs / The Kickstarter Bet Game!
« on: June 17, 2013, 10:38:55 PM »
More fun that way! FATE Accelerated was just released but it's dead simple and available for free! I haven't actually run it yet but I've run a few sessions of Spirit of the Century, and that's been a blast.
Like I said, simple pregens will be provided for simplicity's sake.

RPGs / The Bet Game At Last!
« on: June 17, 2013, 09:42:03 PM »
Alright, I'm rezzing this bitch. In two weeks I will be taking a two month break from school. I'm finally putting my money where my mouth is and I'm going to run that bet game from the Kickstarter last year. Game will be the first or second week of July, folks who had already called spots - IE Teuthic, Gorkamorka, Dom and Tad - still have spots if they want/need them.
Ironically I won't be using Monsters, but instead we'll be trying out FATE Accelerated Edition. The game is still somewhat styled after SNES classic Earthbound, and I'll be providing pregens but I might be persuaded to allow people to make their own weird kids. I will try to record and post the game on the Community Actual Play feed.
Sorry it took so long! I remember why I left school the first time now.  :P

Tales of the Arabian Nights board game demo uploaded! My friend who showed it to us is going to write a review of the game and cross-promote it on the gaming blog she writes for. I'll have her pitch for RPPR and the RPPR AP feed as well!

oh man, first new episode since November for some of you  8)

No worries, been trucking through Know Evil again in the absence. Looking forward to crazy fantasy shenanigans though!

As posted on the Facebook page, in regard to Arc Dream's current sale of Monsters and Other Childish Things books:


BUY HIS BOOKS
BUY HIS BOOKS

all glory to the hypnopayton

I'm so changing my log on to XxXSpaceWhalezXxX.

it has begun

42
It will definitely feature space whales

Better not... I was told to stop people before help I'm trapped in a space whale factory!

Fixed that for you.

Fixed it back

Space whales space whales space whales.

So how about Eclipse Phase FATE Edition? I'm excited, I've done a lot of investing in FATE stuff over the last few months and now I'm laying a shitload down for this kickstarter. Looking forward to trying out the Stoked adventure as well. I trust there will be a conversation between you and Posthuman about a potential Know Evil campaign book in the near future.   ;D

43
All we know about the adventure is that it is not actually Know Evil proper, and that it will feature Caleb and possibly other RPPR dudes' writing. It may be a proof-of-concept to see if there is an audience for Know Evil large enough to warrant its' own project down the road, this is unclear.

Edit: Damn it Caleb *shakes fist*

44
Fun fact: Ross also wrote stuff for this book already.  8)
"Warning: The killer who is about to call you is already inside the house."

Congratulations guys! Hoping that they manage to go the distance and include FATE conversion rules as well, that'd be swell.
