Re: Advanced Critical Hit/Fumble Charts

I never said it was a ruleset that had to implemented. It is in fact, optional. @TyrannisUmbra: The harshest game I've ever played was Milleniums End. It has the most realistic combat (coming from someone in the Army) that a PNP TTRPG can have. If you get hit in the stomach with a bullet, you're goi...

Re: Advanced Critical Hit/Fumble Charts

@TyrannisUmbra

I do see your point, however, there are some people who prefer a harsher system where dead is dead. I personally feel that if you get shot in the head, you should pretty much fall over dead. I could always make separate charts though, one for a more forgiving system.

Re: Advanced Critical Hit/Fumble Charts

Yup, I definitely need to edit out the 'stun' seeing as how that isn't a thing... As for the rest, I'll do some balance checking. You're suggestions have been taken into consideration. If'n you have any suggestions for any other things, like energy weapons, explosives, melee, or the fumble table, le...

Re: Advanced Critical Hit/Fumble Charts

So... while this is a good idea, I have to say that this shouldn't become a thing. Why? Because it is really easy for an enemy to ambush a PC, not the other way around. When you consider that attacking from a stealth is an automatic +20% to critical hit chance, well... most combats only last 1-2 ro...

Advanced Critical Hit/Fumble Charts

So, since I've noticed that there is an extreme lack of this, I've decided to take it upon myself to build a critical hit chart not unlike the ones found in most D&D games. These could be anything from decapitating an enemy, to paralyzing a limb. The reason I think this is neccissary, is because rig...

Re: PnP Group: Oddjob Couriers

Right, in that case, the only days that would work for me, would be weekends... One other question though before I jump ship: Would it be text based chat, or voice chat?

Re: PnP Group: Oddjob Couriers

I would love to apply, but the whole 4pm (-7GMT) just doesn't work for me due to my job. If you'd be willing to move the timings back by, say, two hours, then I could see about joining, but army life makes my schedule very... screwy.

Re: PnP Group Play Test (*Recruiting*)

I'll totally get in on this, although I'm totally new to the FOE PnP.
I have however, played PnP games for... something like 11 years now. I'm still going over a lot of the rules in my head, so I may not be 'on the ball' right now...

I have sent you a skype notification.
