One thing that was brought up at the OH after one of Julius Rosenstein's games is that he really deserves to have some special consideration given to the fact that he's very soft spoken. Most if not all of his games ended up at a table right next to the huge Robotech games, or were otherwise held un...

Kalinda

Kalinda, your Sunday destruction shots are awesome, the little man had a blast finishing off the cityscape! Thanks for the pics, we were busy making sure he did not take a header off the table and did not get pictures. You're very welcome. I was worried they wouldn't turn out because my camera's ba...

Kalinda

Let's see if I can dust off my flickr account and remember how to do this. I got some good shots of the tables before the game started, but I wasn't actually playing, so I didn't get a huge number of shots of the actual game as I didn't want to just shove in to take pics. 1. m 2. m 3. m 4. m 5. m 6....

Oh, and one more thing. Glitter boy. Glitter boy with a double barreled boom gun. Remember back in the day? Back before everybody and their brother had a Glitter Boy or GB variant? Those were good times. I blame the fact that there are so many monsters with huge MDC totals. If everything and it's b...

I bought a copy at VIP night, and I don't think I'm going to sleep in the next hour so I shall delurk for the first time in a couple of years to share some first impressions of the book. (sorry for any mis-spellings, it's late.) First off it has a nice section of information on what's been happening...

Kalinda

Are you ready for this? I forgot my dice... Yes, I drove over 600 miles to a gaming convention and left my dice bag at home. Embarrassed doesn't begin to cover it, I would have lost major geek cred if I hadn't had my tiny little emergency dice bag in my pocket. As it was, everyone just thought my mi...

Kalinda

I'm going to be there. I actually got my ticket a while ago, but I've been otherwise occupied. Me and KC are going to be sharing a room, which I imagine will be interesting.

Kalinda

wait a minute nm, drew got it. but i dont see anything wrong with taking it twice It's up to the GM, personally I'd have to think it. it's an abuse of the system and rules lawyering. Angelic face isn't anything to worry about by it's self, but the precedent you would set by allowing it would come b...

Meeting KC, Seraphim and others was the big highlight for me. Others include playing After the Bomb with Erick Wujcik running. even better was the fact that I managing to impress him by being the first person he's GMd for who made a PC with the Psionic power Cell reader.

I would certainly go again, warehouse or no. I'd also like to point out that the Ramada comes pre-stained, so they can't come down on us so much for trashing rooms. "No, I swear, that half of the room was on fire when we got here..."

I'm quite happy with it, worth picking up even though I have all of the Rifters with the comic in.

Good pictures Sera.

I'll post the few I have on tuesday, after I've gotten some sleep.

Kalinda

You got some good pictures Rali, even a decent one of me.

It was a blast gaming with you, hope to do it again sometime.

There is a minor power in PU3 that is pretty similar called Force strike. It allows you to do punching damage at range, but only 5 feet per level of experience. On the other hand it only costs 1 attack per strike. For your power I'm not sure either if it would be major or minor, it kind of falls int...

Kalinda= Joshua Robson

I know KC and Sera's names, but I'll let them speak for themselves.

Kalinda

Um, good for you?

Actual info about the city might get you some more responses BTW...

Kalinda

I'd like to buy at least one of your Wofen pieces at the OH, I particulary like the bust.

I'm going to be there, looking forward to meeting everyone.

Kalinda

Interesting, I haven't seen that before. I'll look for it. I've been fiddling around with a slightly similar concept for a setting for a few years now. Briefly: In the mid 60s children start being born as anthros, about 1 in 10 births turn up this 'deformity' and scientists are at a loss to explain ...

Possibly, possibly not, I've always wondered if the attraction/fetish would survive actually meeting a real live mutant animal...

(On a side note, in my games the term for a mutant who is attracted to humans is "Skinchaser")

Kalinda

Something I've been toying with is the idea of an alternate AtB setting in which the plague happened, but was not followed by an exchange of nukes. Either cooler heads prevailed, or the missiles didn't work, or what have you, net result is no bombs pushing humanity over the edge into extinction. You...

Kalinda

Very nice work, by all means resubmit.

Kalinda

Isnt Glitter technology supposed to be expensive? If thats the case would it even be cost effective to combine the two technologies? Yeah, that's my thinking on the subject as well. Glitter armor is expensive and difficult to manufacture, while skelbots are semi-disposable shock troops, the two are...

Kalinda

In my game the CS has a pretty extensive cell phone network. Chi-town is almost fully covered, with only the lowest levels having major gaps. Other cities are covered to varying degrees, and there is limited ability to call between cities, for a price. The elite all have cell phones, and many of the...

Kalinda

I quite like the way skills are handled in AtB, the characters often end up very competent, which I like, but it still has a good post apoc feel to it.

Kalinda

Space native only works in outerspace/vaccum. I'd argue that point, read the second and third sentence of the power description. You don't get the full bonuses in an atmosphere, but the power does offer the protection from pressure and cold that he wants. I don't see why they should have to take a ...

Good work Rali, definitely worth adding to any ATB game.

The bonus/penalties I think I would skip in my game though, the gruff woodsman who doesn't get along with cityfolk is a bit too cliche for my tastes. IMO, YMMV and all that.

Kalinda

Quick question regarding the two games: I own both the original TMNT game and ATB revised edition. I did enjoy the rules in TMNT on how to take any animal and show how it can be mutated. Does ATB or any other game have these rules reprinted from the TMNT main book? I think Heroes Unlimited (revised...

Kalinda

Compared to more recent RPGs, TMNT is somewhat short on setting background. If you look at just the main book, it basically boils down to "they're mutant animals, and they fight crime!!!" There are a lot of aspects of the setting that are not talked about, and others that are only covered ...

Kalinda

Id either point the player to Massive damage capacity from PU3, or if he really wanted to use the stats from APS: metal, i would say that it wasn't 'always on' and he would have to transform in order to use the power. Not into metal, just into a larger version of himself. There are plenty of precede...

You know, I do not believe the environmental friendliness of a firearm has ever being discussed before, consider yourself a trend setter Nope, it's been thought of before.

I recall one character in the Wild Cards books who worked for a time at the docks in NYC, he had a forklift operator's license, and a special exemption that allowed him to work without an actual forklift.

I read it to mean that you get an extra skill program. ( I like the idea of it being an apology for taking so long with the power.) Like the other EX powers that give you X+a die roll for the stat, I immediately changed the dice you roll so you have a chance to roll a 30, it drives me nuts when you...

Kalinda

I always give characters job skills and a mundane occupation. (sometimes semi-mundane, FBI agent and the like.) No, you may not use those skills in the course of a game, but you still have them, not everybody is min-maxed for combat and adventure. Um, that is making no sense to have the skills and ...

Playing by the normal rules, I would have you and wolf-boy roll initiative, if you won you could get off the shot. My group uses a chart of my wife's devising that breaks the melee round up into 15 segments. When each of your actions take place depends on how many actions total you have. For example...
