Yeah...but I don't think anyone's really stepped up to the plate. Cado's offered a bit, I guess.

One upside is that, for the first time since Elf took the wheel, the GM won't have any pre-existing PCs!

I'm watching and commenting on everything I see. Who got sent to the Minmus base?

((I guess.))

"Wait! Come back! I still don't know where we're going next! ...Oh, I get it now!"
Also head north.

((Um. Is...is Hephaestus getting Saturday turns? Or is Charles's player around to help Grate out?))

I'm confused about how the system is supposed to work.

To start, when you attack, does the attack roll need to exceed the target's defense or his defense roll? When you hit, how is damage determined exactly? And how does this system work for non-combat actions?

Its not like you havent shown marked dislike for my ideas either, not fun being on the recieving end is it?

First off, you're not the only one who disagrees with me. Second off, I don't actually care. Third off, congratulations on missing the point!

Regardless i didnt post that for petty vengeance, i was making the point that you have already established the availability of the little furry beetle ant things. Its far more likely that a collection and breeding plan will take place rather than wasting the flesh pits production capacity by growing defective sods on purpose.

For the first point: I wasn't saying that you were intentionally being vengeful, just that you're initially more hostile to my ideas. For the second: We know they exist, but we don't know how appropriate of test subjects they'll be, so I'm planning for the contingencies that they aren't.

Youll remember the machine exists but not that you were using it, where it is, or what any of the pills you made do.

Well it's a good thing that we've got computers and other people.

And i was meaning youd get bitten by the snake whilst collecting the furry whhamacallits.

So? Again, I'd be reminded of what I was doing.

Also mutating could make the test subjects angry, theres always tge chance of them breaking loose and injuring someone or worse.

Mindless sod-like beings aren't very good at getting angry, and ones with basically no musculature or whatever past what's needed to walk about are bad at breaking loose.

Then how about removing STR entirely? Just use some scaled down version of ¹/₂ x END x SPD².

As much as that might make sense from a biological standpoint, it makes it harder to make proper Mighty Glaciers and the like while also making calculations clunkier.

You can't make power armor with magic. If you do I'll sue on account of copyright infringement.

You pretty much need magic to make powered armor that doesn't suck.

Nah, Izzy doesn't ride the golem into fights. She uses it as transport, as it runs faster than her, but riding the thing would be impractical and probably get her killed.

Theoretically, though, she could craft a golem that acts as powered armor. And even if she herself couldn't, someone with similar powers could.
Which is the point.

Special traits. Kyle definitely isn't original.

He's the most aggravatingly stubborn character, the only one to have powered armor, one of the few to be extremely promiscuous, the most likely to slip into depression for no reason...and there's probably more positive ones that don't come to mind.
