Re: Radiation protection from compression / EVA suits?

Looking through the books I haven't found anything regarding radiation protection other than the two types of HAZMAT suit (military in CMOM and professional in BBW); it wouldn't appear that the compression suits or EVA suits provide any protection against radiation, only vacuum and pressure protecti...

Re: Can you pin Xenomorphs?

But ... this is what I think ... the moment your xenomorph is too easy to kill or too easy to neutralize ... that moment your game becomes less horror and less stressful (I would even say pointless) ... why ... because the xenomorph is the heart and soul of this horror / sci-fi / gore game. You los...

Re: Can you pin Xenomorphs?

I disagree: Xenomorphs are NPCs even if they're not humans or androids. They would lose the next slow action same as any other enemy. However, it is only the next slow action that is lost - since every xenomorph has a speed of at least 2, there's no reason why it can't still close the distance with ...

Re: How does pushing for more successes actually work?

Based on RAW, I've always had players reroll all non-success dice and add on new Stress Dice for the increased Stress Level. I've yet to have a player push a roll that was already successful, but I would still have them set aside all dice showing a success marker and roll the remaining pool if it ca...

Re: Official Errata

I just received my preorder hard copy of Building Better Worlds and I noticed there are still some inconsistencies in the text, including issues already highlighted by posters from months ago, which I have put in bold: Page 39 - "Norcomm" is misspelled "Norcom" Page 59 - The side...

Re: Acid Splash result shared or rolled separately for each victim?

I think it's probably wiser from a gameplay perspective to have a roll for each character within range, otherwise you could potentially kill half your crew because one of them got a hit in on the space beast. It's going to mean a lot of dice rolling for the Game Mother, but combat always seems to in...

Re: Chariot of the Gods - Wilson as a synthetic

I hate to necro a thread, but when I ran my first playthrough of Chariot my Wilson was also Lucas and I found it to be massively entertaining, if anything it enhanced the experience for the player since they were a TTRPG newbie in general, so they had options for how to play their character througho...

Re: Neomorph/abomination relationship COTG

I suppose that would be up to you, ultimately, but given that there's a pile of gnawed bones in one section of the Cronus (meaning something was eating something else), the generally-hostile nature of both the Neomorphs and the Abominations, and that the Abominations in COTG are mutants caused by ex...
