Re: YZE: Eldritch Automata Quickstart Now Available!

Thanks and I'll take a look tomorrow. Is the combat/action exclusively in the giant mech suits/automata or is it a combo with them alongside "normal" human sized characters? Given the size disparity, it seems like the former!

Re: Step Dice

Fair enough and thanks. I haven't experienced any of those potential negatives but obviously tastes change from person to person. I do hope to one day try step dice for a couple games to see if I like the overall feel in general or like it even more than dice pools (which would be an interesting dev...

Re: Skills without linked Attributes

The biggest complication would obviously be that the game would become more freeform and that the GM would have to adjudicate each instance individually. I've seen it be a style in various narrative games (though I can't remember the exact names as it's not my preferred RPG style) I've come across i...

Re: Step Dice

Out of curiosity, what do you prefer about the step dice method as compared with the more traditional dice pool? No shame in liking either but I'm just wondering if you can elaborate on its benefits as I've never ran or even played in a Free League game with it. The closest thing that I've played wi...

I saw this on my youtube feed this morning and came here to see if there is more info.

New edition coming to kickstarter March 19th? The core rules has a new cover at least.

Re: Can one combine normal copyright of a game text and still refer to the FTL?

It's definitely good form to do so. Not a lawyer so the usual "random guy on the internet spouting off legal advice" disclaimer applies but I'd at a bare minimum list it as an inspiration even if you're not using the rules mechanically even if rewritten. If the mechanics are mostly the sam...

Re: Feedback Thread - The Year Zero Engine Standard Reference Document

How about supply rating, how high can it go? Can you carry a supply rating of 1000 water? What is reasonable page 7 "This means rolling a number of D6 equal to the current Supply rating – but never more than six dice." While it's technically referring to the number of dice rolled, I'd say...

Re: Feedback Thread - The Year Zero Engine Standard Reference Document

Page 9 Stress dice: ... Stress is typically relieved – all stress points removed – after a stretch of rest in a (reasonably) safe location. Page 21 NOT BROKEN? If you are not broken, you heal one point of damage or stress per shift. This assumes that you are not starving, dehydrated, or hypothermic...

Re: Artifact Dice FTL version is different to FL

Agreed. The open gaming reference rules are a starting point that you can adapt to whatever you want (as long as you're not literally copy/pasting text from another game). If it ends up further or closer to something you like (for example Forbidden Lands), that's ok as long as you wrote text of the ...

Re: Gambling

I suppose the answer would depend on the type of gambling you're engaging in. While there always is (assuming no in-universe cheating is going on by NPCs) an element of luck involved beyond the skill of the player. I could see that "luck" being represented by the physical dice being rolled...
