Reblog: After the End 2 player-facing skill sheet (from No School Grognard)

Bygamingballistic

+Mark Langsdorf did a lot of work, and it turned out really well. 

He made a player-facing skills list based on the worked-example publication GURPS After the End 2.

It takes all the uses of attributes, skills, and advantages from the book and consolidates them by skill. So you get something like 

Traps Trap a meal (30)
Complementary skill for trapping a meal with Survival (30)
Per-based: Detect traps while scouting (32)
Per-based: Spot a security system (33)
Per-based: Spot a pit trap (36)
Per-based: Spot simple switches (36)
Disarm traps (36)
Salvage a concealed gun (36)

Except you get it for every single mention of a use or skill. 
This is a fantastic cheat-sheet, and worth emulation for other genres.

Sticking it to ’em: Impaling Damage Type in GURPS

Bygamingballistic

This is a bit of a design gripe, though I don’t know if any of my potential solution brainstorms are worth the hassle of doing anything about it. Still, we’re all entitled to a few disgruntled moments over not much, right? I’m not a big fan of the impaling damage type. There are two benefits to…

Future Gaming Ballistic Interviews shaping up

Bygamingballistic

I’ve got at least two interviews in the “scheduling and working out details” phase. The first, which would hopefully occur in the next few days, is +Leonard Balsera , designer/writer of FATE Core and the +Dresden Files RPG among other things. The second is +Kenneth Hite. We’re still working on scheduling due to a very busy convention schedule, but he’s definitely…

The Citadel at Norðvorn: Pre-orders are open on Backerkit!

Bygamingballistic

The Citadel at Norðvorn completed a very successful Kickstarter campaign. It busted through several stretch goals including an increase to 128 pages and an offset, sewn-binding, lay-flat printing (that’s going to be so sweet, I’ll admit). Now, it’s time for the final phase of the effort: pre-orders and shipping. Now on Backerkit: The Citadel at…

Dragon Heresy Playtest Report: Silent Village

Bygamingballistic

We had another playtest of the Dragon Heresy RPG. It was a surprisingly challenging session in terms of personal interaction. The productive way to look at this is in terms of how the rules and text of the game can attempt to deal with what is usually one of the only real problems in RPG…

  1. I was just thinking this very thing when I say it. It's VERY useful for newbies and oldsters alike. I think I'm going to do something like this for Aeon as a handout.
