Re: Hadley's Hope Blueprints

Found these a while ago and now linking the site so people can possibly make a game of Alien RPG on Hadley's Hope after Alien but before Aliens.

Re: Character Motivations & Backgrounds for Ravens Purge

These are well made, though some of them might steer characters towards common heroics than what the "Raiders and Rogues in a Cursed World" tagline would suggest. I would suggest changing the wording slightly so the motive becomes more ambiguous on the actual means for achieving it, whethe...

Re: Raven's Purge Map

Is there somewhere I can get this map legitimately? It's included in the Core set over on DriveThruRPG (on a hefty sale for the week). Note, however, that the map in question is an .jpeg-image @ 4282*3101resolution, with all the paper-styling and .jpeg artefacting included: the fidelity quickly det...

Re: JPG Map

I created really huge maps with semi-transparent hex label overlays and some kin over lay as well here: https://www.smokeraven.com/forbidden-lands-campaign-maps What did you use for making the hex labels? I've been trying to find an easy solution and so far I have one Inkscape extension, but that o...

Re: Declared defense = action?

the advanced combat system will be broken if you change this. To be frank, it is not that great in its default state either, due to how punishing it is for lower initiative defender if they do not have luck with the dice, good base to soak, free defence actions, or pain resistance.

Re: Declared defense = action?

Yes, if you have declared to defend yourself, then you have to do it. If the attacker misses then yes, one of your actions are forfeited for nothing. Thank you for supplying an official interpretation of the rules as written! Hopefully this will spread far and wide, so tables can clearly communicat...

Re: Declared defense = action?

Page 91-92 PHB: "When you attack an aware opponent in close combat, they can DODGE or PARRY to avoid being hit. The defender must declare if they are going to DODGE or PARRY before you roll for your attack. DODGE and PARRY are called reactive actions, since they are performed immediately, and ...

On a success, DEFENDER makes Melee/Move skill roll for defense Both ATTACKER and DEFENDER may push. If ATTACKER wins, they calculate damage...
