Or are you implying to members of the lighthouse, all the conspiracies are true? Example, the New World Order is not a theory, their agents tried to break in last night to steal our supply of powdered unicorn horn.Yami Bakurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266174008401745128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372693484053299675.post-71167383454207535432020-03-08T03:23:25.477-04:002020-03-08T03:23:25.477-04:00Maybe something like damage rules in Weaverdice?

They are definitely pale-skinned nocturnal corpse-eaters, but they're explicitly not vampires.<br /><br />This is a lot of personal preference on my part - as soon as the name is applied there is an air of familiarity, understandability, recognizable visuals. I don't want that.<br /><br />Maybe there's a man-dog hybrid monster out there. But it's 300 feet long, lives in your pipes, and won't stop signing Chinese folk songs.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694362417308874455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372693484053299675.post-47304456465510467142020-03-07T12:28:11.696-05:002020-03-07T12:28:11.696-05:00"Stress is player-directed.

When a player sees something that they would expect to freak out about, they make a Spirit check."<br /><br />Brilliant. You didn't specify what happened on a success, but I can see this being a core gameplay gimmick. On a success, you get to act directly against an enemy (the default being that you can't). On a failure, you take stress.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11103061574208320331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372693484053299675.post-39651958080626180862020-03-07T12:19:56.825-05:002020-03-07T12:19:56.825-05:00It's not super well developed in my head, but ...It's not super well developed in my head, but basically any successful weapon attack falls into "causes a wound, victim can keep going", "causes a wound, victim is incapacitated" and "you're just dead".<br /><br />Armor will be able to negate or reduce severity damage a certain number of times.<br /><br />Big wound tables will be featured.
