TRPG General Chat

like, is there some old Roman rag on everyday carry back then that I'm not aware of or something? :p because I'd be quite surprised if it wasn't a topic of discussion back in the day, given how EDC/CCW is discussed in today's firearms world

linksassin

@Ben Yeah I have. Looks like a good start. I'd be trying to keep it simple and not make it too much longer.

@linksassin Yeah. I like it how it is, even leaving the "afflictions" to be generic. My only other thing I want to add is the "boons", then just iron out the mechanics, and I think it'd be solid for its first test run :D

@Shalvenay How times change. Haha

Shalvenay

hopefully I can catch some folks in WB.SE chat this upcoming week, for a couple of things even

Ben

@Shalvenay fingers crossed :D

@Ben (other one actually has to do with the plausibility of something I had a char of mine craft a while back)

Question for the Star Wars machete order - does Rogue One fit in there?

I can see it both ways

BESW

Machete pre-dates Rogue One.

Given the reasoning behind machete, though, I think it'd put Rogue One alongside Episode One as "supplemental extras."

Miniman

Yeah, I like Rogue One, but it adds nothing to the story.

Ben

Yeah. I was thinking it's "set up". Good set up, but not necessary

BESW

For one thing, a big persuasion point in machete is that putting Anakin's fall between the reveal of Luke's parentage in Ep Five and the reveal of Luke's new all-black outfit in Ep Six, dramatically aligns Luke's Ep-Six arc about the potential to turn, with Anakin's actual turn.

Ben

I am liking the machete, and I'm pretty well sold on it. Since it's an introduction to the series I wanna focus on the story, more than on the "fandom" of it all.

Rogue One would either start the machete order before Ep Four (bad choice, it provides no significant theme or characterization for Ep Four's content) or it would fall between Ep Three and Ep Six (Vader's brief appearance in Rogue One would not compensate for the narrative distance it would put between Anakin's fall and Luke's struggle.)

Ditto Solo, and Rebels, they're supplemental.

Ben

@BESW Rebels..?

Q: How can my heroic tier PC contribute more during skill challenges?

My character isn't much use during skill challenges, and the campaign has seen, like, 25% of encounters be skill challenges. I'd like my character to contribute more during skill challenges, whether that's because my character has more skills he's trained in or because he's granting himself or ot...
