Thanks for a story that managed to be deep, silly, strange and wildly adventurous. To Karl!

Great job, Jon, and way to stick the landing. I will miss these characters and their epic story immensely.

As Sir Blurre's reactions speed up in response to Kim's device, he feels something else: a presence in his mind, sharp and jagged but familiar all the same. You should have given up on me, Turtle, but I'm glad you didn't, Ronin -- Runnin -- speaks into his mind, as if telepathy was a new and somewha...

A rumble of unease runs through the ranks of the mystics and cossacks arrayed against you as Jack concludes his speech.

Yeah, looks good to me.

Per the final* version of our SWADE-ified Item Creation rules, Enchanted Armor is an appropriate option for a base item.

Looks cool!

Okay, let's get started! We'll begin our adventures some 10-15 years before your first adventure , during your shared childhood in the village. We'll take things a step at a time, letting everyone post their result from a given step and flesh it out as needed. Feel free to mention potential NPCs or ...

As we fill out the map and the roster of NPCs in the village, we can also add interesting locations farther afield. Here's a (hopefully fun) way to add to that map, as well as to flesh out a bit of the village history (both ancient and recent) that you can find in the Timeline post. This is a specia...

Nice!

Others noticed the Notice issue. My only other thing was the map. It's a good map, and I'm fine using it. Just two things for Vesper. 1. They are the du Lacs. That implies a lake. There's a nice river in there. But easily solved if the KEEP is on the lake, I suppose. 2. My playbook roll specificall...

I think I got him converted over about as well as possible. Dropped some equipment and a couple of Edges but made up some of that ground by adding Limits to his powers, and Jon pointed out a good option from the HJ table that got him Adept to help with action economy.

I like the Map, as long as we aren't 100% beholden to it. Its a good starting point and gives a basic idea of a layout, but if something isn't on that map I would hate to say it couldn't be in the village. Definitely room for any needed modifications. The only thing that passive perception might ta...

I've been thinking through some house rules that I think/hope will make it easier to emulate some D&D-style gameplay, without the sort of slogging that comes with trying to do map and dungeon crawls with PbP.

Language looks good. Per Rob's point (which is a good one): As of the now-archived polls conducted in April, a majority of GMs voted that: Any personal item (weapon, armor or gear) other than pre-existing TW/Enchanted gear was fair game as the base item for a Signature Item Vehicles, Power Armor and...

I'll toss in Alfie Macklin, ex-Coalition Crazy and killer of corrupt Cyber-Knights.

A GM can always choose not to follow the rules, sure. But the assumption should be that the core rules will be followed, and the core rules say you can convert and modify anything you put your hands on. Per the rules, GMs just come in when determining the appropriateness of the upgrades.

Using the common items all around seems a smarter course than sticking with the old way. I does lower the bar a bit but not by a lot. Individual GM's should be able to allow a boost in individual games but setting a least common denominator should be helpful to those GM's who might not want MOAR PO...

I would say we could have some cool enchanted mods. Like for Major I would say + a die in damage would be appropriate. I would also think that powers activated don’t even need a skill roll. You just spend ppts. Using the four magic items for a basis of my thoughts. That might help them keep up as i...

For the record, since the whole Signature Item scheme appears to have been rewritten since roughly 4 p.m. CST yesterday, I strongly disagree with the "Common" item approach for anything but Enchanted. The TW rules expressly allow you to convert and improve existing items, and forcing the u...

Whoa, hold up. How did we get to limiting TW and Super Tech items to generic base items? That's ... super lame, invalidates lots of existing Signature Items and contradicts the normal rules, which allow any existing tech item to be TW-converted and modified. It also vastly diminishes the value of a...

Yeah, no -- it's already in the OP, and the only "discussion" I see about it in chat is one post from you suggesting it at 10:20 pm Monday. Unless the two of you are having private chats to circumvent the House Rules Hangout, which is not cool, either. It's okay for Enchanted to use the ge...

All look good to me, although I feel like I should disagree about something so VV, Radecliffe and I don't all agree and set off the apocalypse or something.

For the base archaic weapons, instead of a damage die for extra weapons, give it the same treatment as vibro-blades - +1 Die Type and AP equal to the new die. Knives go from Str+d4 to Str+d6 AP 6. That way they have parity with the primary melee weapon of the setting. Then there is no argument that...

In the (admittedly short) history of the Tomorrow Legions Community Outreach Teams, there had never been a fight like the one on the Leviathan that afternoon. There was big magic tossed around, sure, and some pinpoint shooting. But what made the battle so noteworthy wasn't the violence and the savag...

Super Science with mods also would still require E-clips and/or batteries, and would have to spend mods to fuel any powers you added, since you couldnt tap into external PPE or ISP.

No fire and brimstone from me: I like it. Nice compromise on Enchanted stuff, too. I think three HJ roll upgrades as a Super Science option is fine. The HJ table "buy" option limits you to two, as does the EP option (or just one mod, if you're using EP to get the armor/weapon in the first ...

I’d be fine with allowing it.

HJ rolls: Use however many rolls the new rules give your IF. You may either pick which ones to keep (or the closest approximation) or scrap them and roll all new ones (the appropriate number for your IF). Damn, okay. Looks like Vik is going to be getting worse in more ways than one. TW abilities go...

Do we lose HJ rolls (going from 5 to 2 in most cases) or keep the ones we had before (or the closest approximation)?

Silverclaws and Tito land on the roof of the Leviathan's rear-most car with a clang and a thud , the rest of the party disembarking just behind.

I think you still need another minor drawback of some sort. Compared to the Long-Barrel BB, you have: Can use shotgun ammo - Minor Increased Ammo Cap (to 30) - more like Major, but we'll go with Minor Increase ROF from 2 to 3 - Major Lose Double-Barrel - offsets a Minor -1 Recoil, -1d Min Str - Mino...

On the philosophical end of things: Patron items are a thing. They were a thing before the SWADE change and they're a thing now. Blame Lloyd, but it's a reward that is literally advertised as a perk for patronage. I think it's fine to limit them within particular games -- in my upcoming fantasy game...

I think the Dragonbane Blade is too weak. In most ways, it's worse than a set of off-the-rack vibro-claws, which are Str+2d4, +1 Parry and AP 8 all the time , not just against dragons. Champion vs. dragons is balanced (and probably outweighed) by being attacked by them. I think the vibro-claws work ...

I think the Equalizer you posted ( here ) is nice, but probably a bit more than what I would expect for a Bronze level item. Making it a combo-weapon (BB pistol + plasma cartridge pistol + shotgun) is at least a Major mod,, to be honest, and is a nice feature that can't be duplicated with TW/Enchant...

My point on the gear swap option is that I don't think I've ever seen anyone use it.
