My brain spewed out 75% of a sci-fi D&Dish/Black Hackish game over lunch. Some psychic powers, a couple vehicles, a handful of bad guys, a random table, and done.

    I think you should make a second file that's editable by everyone.

    You should totally steal from Dark Heresy and have one of the Psy SNAFU results be "switch character sheets" though.

    What's the fun of magic/psychic powers if the rest of the party doesn't have a reason to suddenly turn on the user because he/sh accidentally tore open a veil into the nightmare zone?

    I didn't make any specific enemies but I made a Perfectly Structured Hostile Organism with a chart featuring everyone's favorite tropes from sci-fi.

    I know you were obviously going for an Aliens-vibe but I wrote up stuff for a bunch of different vibes anyway.

    Why do you think I added a shotgun?

    I did see the shotgun. I wonder about it's gunfeel though.

    Could make it 3d6+3 or let it shred 1 HD monsters or less at close range...

    I'm adding plasma weapons and a Gets Hot table. Feel free to use all of it, none of it, or just as inspiration. This is fun!

Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.

Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.

First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar.

Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...
