Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I've watched DE?AD suffer through the creation of 100%
it's not worth it unless you can't find another system that works for you
or think you can make some money off of your work
Honestly, I just want to find one or two systems I like stick with them
learning new rules is getting tiresome
^_^
Plus they have excellent advice for running and playing in games. Not a thing to be sneezed at.
well in my case i was just thinking that i wanted some things that vanilla 100% doesn't have
but yeah
Let me tell you about video games. Let me tell you about Homestuck
it's super modular
I wouldn't pitch it if I thought it was crap
Gonna see if this goes well and ends up strategic or badly and ends up spurious.

Jane directs RNR to push itself back up, and when its stable, RNR's arms raise. "Woo!" The arms immediately lower. Jane coughs. "Fantastic job, Ken."
RNR turns around to look at the city. "So...let's try to start city cleanup, huh? Look for people, clear away rubble, etc."
I was gonna go with
"A Spurious little Refineryyyyy!"
Chance is always on the part of the character taking the action.
There is no "dodge Chance".
There is only a Chance to hit.
Chance to hit is affected by enemy Traits.
If you are fighting a guy in melee, and that guy has, god help us, [Agile], or is a [Martial Artist], or [Swordsman], or has [Super-Speed] or whatever, those will lower the Chance of you hitting him.
There is never a dodge roll, because how well an enemy dodges is included in Chance.
Plus, as someone said, if it's an opposed roll then your Traits have no effect on it, as Traits relate to Chance, not to dice rolls.
also @dux getchabutt in here!

The energy gone, Yan clambers to her feet. She steadies herself against a wall, and takes a few, hesitant breaths. Still reeling, her body aching, nerves numb from exposure to power, she stands unsure of what to do with herself.
[Fregdup]
While Dean shreds his longcoat into markers, Inquisit scans through old property records. [15%/50%] There isn't terribly interesting in the mess of deeds and notes of ownership. What does catch his eye, however, is a news article, dated 1831, about an archaeological dig on the property. Apparently, they found a bunch of old Tan relics from the Colonization Era. An archaeologist wanted to begin excavation of the area, but the property's owner at the time had refused to let "a perfectly good lawn be torn up for trinkets and baubles".

Scrawny shrugs at Zee. "Fuck if I know, and good riddance, I say."

[Haze Group] Jtlkrek bites her lip. "Wow, okay, so, you actually are crazy. Go figure." She pushes her sunglasses back up. "Well, as a strong, independent woman with a long history of existing, I can tell you pretty confidently that the City is more than two days old. I mean, I can personally attest to at least twenty-five years of its existence, and there are plenty of others who can tell recount glorious tales of its existing in earlier years."
[Science Group] Christina -2 does, indeed, know a hacker in the area. Ripper Random, or, at least, that's what he went by on the old Extranet groups. He'd long since dropped the handle, and taken up residence in the Science District under his real name - Teless Crant. He might not really have been the best of the best, despite his frequent assertions to the contrary, but he was pretty damn good.

Penny slings open the door and the shambling bodies tumble through. [64%/40%] Steam fills the air as a wave of frost surges across them, leaving their skin blue and glinting in the dim light, but doing nothing to slow their progress. Their frozen skin cracks and pops as they lunge forward [27%/40%] Lorenzo's body slamming Penny to the ground - the weight of his bloated carcass pinning her.
The second excrevenant turns toward Clyde, [73%/30%] but it's far too slow to catch the duelist, who easily side-steps the clumsy grapple and [63%/60%] manages to throw himself through the window. He lands on the other side in a rain of glass shards, leaving [Cuts and Scrapes] across his hands and face.

Zee does not look terribly pleased with Scrawny's revelation, but shrugs it off with his usual aplomb.

"Okay," Christina says to no one in particular. "We're heading for Teless Crant's place. Hopefully we'll be able to convince him to make spyware for us."
She searches for his house on her tablet and sets a course.
"Hey, Al. Do I have a history with this guy besides 'posted with him on a forum?'"

"Well Magical Trevor, there's a little something called a background check, which I'm performing on the property." The arcanaton stated in an annoyed tone "And since our esteemed employer likely doesn't know or care why the ground is hallowed (much less hollowed), I figured I might find something of use in the property records. Otherwise known as looking for clues."
Pausing for effect "Basically, I'd like to know what I'm getting into before I go balls-deep into some strange hole. Call it personal preference."

Without looking up from his search, he replies "So far, something about some Tan relics found buried here, and one of the previous owners didn't want his lawn torn up to find more. I'm seeing if there's anything else."

Seeing an unacceptable dearth of zombies to fight outside, Clyde quickly emerges from the door the zombies just entered. Grabbing onto the scruff of Lorenzo's collar and hovering his left foot over the back of one of deceased magician's knees, he looks over at Penny, knife hand raised to strike.
"Ready to buck'em off?" he smiles.

"I have a feeling..." Leaning against the wall, arms folded, Daliah stares at the ceiling. "They will not be a problem. Without their leader, they will have no edge. Let us leave this dusty hall, and see for ourselves." She nods at Zee. "It is good to see you standing. Stay hidden if things are less benign than predicted."

"I was once the most trusted adviser to the Pirate King. An' before that, I was his closest friend. Back then the Lockjaw had a purpose, they had a righteous cause. The demons in the south tried to bring us to our knees and the Union was how we kept from buckling." He meanders toward the wall, where he's framed his Black Spot. "And then things started to change. I didn't much care for the way things were goin', and I shared my misgivings with... His Majesty. And this..." he wraps a metal finger on the glass of the frame. "Is the thanks he gave me, for thirty long years of service and friendship. So, I've been hidin' out in these woods ever since, a few loyal men left to guard me from his assassins, just waitin' out the rest of my days in peace." He turns toward the group as he sits down. "My men have gotten sloppy over the years and you took care of 'em. Frankly I've not got it in me to kill 6 people and a walkin' mountain anymore. If you're lookin' for a showdown with the most dangerous criminal in Lockjaw territory you're about ten years too late. But if you're just lookin' for the glory of killin' the notorious Johnathan K. Brickley, the only man to stand against the Pirate King and live, then congratulations. You beat Mother Nature to me."

"Hey maybe we should just wait before we open the do-" Rick faces the zombie that is not currently involved with his compatriots. He holsters his useless weapon and watches the duelist move. "Okay, I can do that. Hey shithead, over here!" He tries to catch the zombie's attention and then dodge it's every attack, hopefully giving his companions time. Penny's freeze-power seems to be the only thing that can really disable the things so far.
