GM Poll Fourth Quarter 2018[/b]
It is that time of the Quarter again, you get to rate your GM and say how many EP he gets. This has been a slow quarter across the forums, but hopefully you still had fun and enjoyed your character.


RFT, Game Master (GM)

How to “rate” the GM, their Duties:
• Post Rate
• Notify Players via Hangouts of new posts.
• Be available to Players

☞ Maintain a GM post rate at a minimum of one adventure post per week.
☞ Have the IM contact info of each player in their group.
☞ Notify all players in the group via IM or PM of new GM posts, and other important updates.
☞ Be available for IM chat at least one day a week.

Note: The above is used to “rate” the GM. I hope that I succeeded you all in the mission of being your GM. Additionally, I hope that I presented a fun game.
Thank you. - Rob F Towell

  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!

Voted. Top Marks. Only real comment is I got a little bit confused where everyone was in relation to everyone else. A lot of powers and abilities work in specific distances and it just lends to my overall confusion when I don’t know where folks are.

I like theater of the mind just fine but I could use a little more crunch on where my allies are and where the bad guys are at the beginning of each round.

This is a reasonable request I can work with. Maybe a little detail about the height of the building everyone is on and distance to the top would be helpful? i will include some of that in a OOC tag in the new initiative I roll.

PS: Thank you, feedback always helps improvement.

Did I vote? If not count me for a 5. Story is interesting and fun. I agree with Jon, and the map in the latest round is a big help. Its also nice to have bare stats like parry, toughness and deflection/armor bonuses if possible.
