Post by: Anaz on February 02, 2003, 09:19:53 pm: I seem to be more into the tactical wargame. Usually I find a system that I semi-like (warhammer) that is too expensive for me, and then twist it to my own world...

Post by: Kamikaze on February 07, 2003, 08:27:59 pm: Hmmm, well JC and I both were/was/willbe in Nodewar (which probably roots from PP RPGs in some sense) which is being resurrected in about 3 ways at once. If you're going to look at it at all, I suggest it be after the chaos.

Yea sort of. It uses the D20 rules,... but it's got it's differences. Like instead of just Hitpoints, you have Viality Points (hit points that reflect "near misses") and HP are your exact COn score.

Short version. Damage goes into VP first, it's not an "impact' from the weapon,...but showing how much 'energy' you used to deflect/dodge a close call. Once VP is 0 you take actual damage.

Least it explains being 'hit' by a lightsaber 4 times before you die :D

well, I may have to get into that...although it would detract me more than usual when it comes to getting things done...

LOL That's why our group normally only gets together once a month for about a 14 hour game. Plenty of fun.....lots of time for us GMs to prep a game.....and doesn't really conflict with RL
