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.
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?
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign. Never done it before. Highly recommended. http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/02/24/20-quick-questions-rules/
I think you should make a second file that's editable by everyone.

ReplyDeleteI'm just typing out random shit that may be beyond the scope or terrible.
ReplyDeleteYou should totally steal from Dark Heresy and have one of the Psy SNAFU results be "switch character sheets" though.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't thinking about Psi-SNAFUs until now...

ReplyDeleteNoting to read when home
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThat's good stuff!
ReplyDeleteI know you were obviously going for an Aliens-vibe but I wrote up stuff for a bunch of different vibes anyway.
ReplyDeleteNeeds more Doom, Stephen.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think I added a shotgun?
ReplyDeleteI did see the shotgun. I wonder about it's gunfeel though.
ReplyDeleteCould make it 3d6+3 or let it shred 1 HD monsters or less at close range...
ReplyDeleteI'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!
