Stay Frosty Progress Frostiness is now a quantifiable trait ranging from warm to ice-cold. The frostier you are, the more benefits you get, but the more danger you are in to end up rolling on the Going Apeshit table.
For my purposes it's an escalation of tension and awareness. If the stress gets to you, you might panic or make a last stand like Billy in Predator, etc etc.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.

ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt's adapted from the Stress mechanic in Perdition.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first I've seen of this! Is there more detail somewhere?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't "stay frosty" mean "don't freak out"?
ReplyDeleteIt seems weird to me that "being frosty" would make someone more likely to freak out.
