That one, yes! It's actually a lot like FE from what I heard, but unique enough that it wasn't a clone.And it obviously wouldn't actually be WWII, but it would have similar levels of technology. Like that PS3 game that I really wanted to try, but have no PS3
Valkyria Chronicles? I have the PSP sequel. It is awesome. I was actually considering basing a forum game on it.
...is anyone getting the reference?Zone of the Enders? Isn't that the mech TBS game set on Mars?
Both of those might work.So I, on a whimsy, am working on a sci-fi modification of the FE tabletop.I had a similar idea for a WWII-themed FE mod.
I've already figured out the major mechanical changes- essentially, instead of 1 ranged weapon type (Bows) and 3 melee (Swords, Axes, Lances), there are 3 ranged (Laser, Gauss, Heavy Weapons), and one melee (Swords).
Laser beats Gauss beats Heavy Weapons.
Laser's like low powered but accurate, Gauss is moderate, and HW is High AT but high WT.
And though the magic weapons triangle is staying the same, I'm going to make it new spells anyway.
The weapons triangle is replaced with a Gun triangle: Shotgun > SMG > Carbine > Shotgun. Then you'd have the Marksman's Rifle, which takes the place of arrows.
For the magic triangle, we'd have Special Operations: Demolitions > Support Gunner > Chemical Weapons > Demolitions. Staffs would be replaced by the Medic/Radio Operator.
Just trying to think of a way to include armored vehicles...
Manaketes. Obviously. Or, alternatively, replacements for great knights.
I like a WWII mod even better, for the record.

Unless you forgot to keep your clone up-to-date, at least.You sound surprised. This is a game where people are killed outright and wake up with no ill effects whatsoever.So basically in EVE, people who fly T3 in PvP are constantly experiencing intense mental trauma and they just get up, shrug their shoulders, relearn the skill and go right back to flying their ship?What exactly is the justification for losing a skill level if you lose a ship? That seems inconsistent and just kind of weird.The ingame lore justification is something like the implants you use to control the ship are much more tightly interwoven with your mind, so the destruction of the ship causes actual trauma which messes up your ability to function for a while and forcing you to relearn a skill, like learning to walk again after you have an accident.
((It's alright. It's possible that a Bostonian accent in this universe (filled with elves and dwarves and other fantastic creatures, no less) sounds different than a Bostonian accent in our universe. xD((I'm not great at accents, and I used Non Sequiter as inspiration. I didn't really intend for it to be at all realistic((I'm not sure that's how Bostonians sound, but I'll take your word for it
Joe walks up to the casino, taking in the facade of mysticism draping it.
I have a good feelin'abaht this place, man. It has good vibrations, just filled with playin' cahd enahgy.
He checks in at the hotel, buys himself some chips, and heads to the Blackjack table to try his luck..))

You bury your face into both palms, like so:*doublefacepalm-headesk*Explain.
Edit: Also, I heard someone say the words "High CON". I have the highest non-mounted con of the entire party, I believe.Gregor's only behind you by one point
