Hey everyone! I’m making a game about being rpg style monsters getting on airships and becoming sky pirates.
Hey everyone! I’m making a game about being rpg style monsters getting on airships and becoming sky pirates.
I’ve still got a lot left to do, but I’m eager to see what people think of the game in it’s current state.
Thanks so much for any feedback you send. ☺️
Rail Jacks protect trains from the clouds of starving ghosts in the wasteland between cities.
Rail Jacks protect trains from the clouds of starving ghosts in the wasteland between cities. Most trains have a seat behind the engine compartment, the safety seat, where one of the jacks can watch the engineers for signs of mental pressure or possession, and intervene. It’s a good ‘watch and learn’ post for rookies.
So this kid is still an apprentice jack, and he’s in the safety seat, and one of the engineers has allergies. First time he sneezes, the kid overreacts and fries him with the hook, gives the poor bastard the shakes for life. So they put the kid up walking the train for the rest of the trip, and he saw a reflection he didn’t like in the goggles of his partner, fries him with the hook. By the second trip, he had a rep for massive overreaction, posing more of a threat than the dangerous surroundings.
Some say he never had the nerve to be a rail jack, but his uncle was Speeder Zeke, and everybody’s heard of that crazy bastard. So, he didn’t get run off the rails, but he earned the nickname Safety, and people knew to keep an eye on the zap-happy twerp.

SO, in Scum and Villainy we have 3 ship types.
SO, in Scum and Villainy we have 3 ship types. The smuggler/blockade runner, the bounty hunter/extraction specialists, and the rebels.
I just finished Embers of War by Gareth L. Powell, and the novel could easily fit within S&V, but their ship is part of a well-regarded organization called the House of Reclamation. The House field ships to help ships in trouble – whether adrift in space or sinking on a water world surrounded by hostile ocean life. They are a search and rescue organization, but folks there often join because they wanted to something good with their lives in a world recently at war. Many of those who join the house are running from something, or have lost everything.
So, you COULD do something like that with the current ships, but you could possibly soften the focus and make it less specific in order to create a space EMT with shades of salvage oriented ship.
I’m hoping to run S&V soon, but haven’t played it as yet. Does this sound like a possible alt. 4th ship type?
Hi!
Hi! This is the recording of the first session for a new campaign of Blades we started in my channel. It was full of action and tension and the system worked beautifully. It’s in Spanish, but I though it may be of interest to some people here. Thanks!

That was me just now realizing that the blank crew sheet in the v8_2 pdf has 8 XP ticks, while the other crew sheets have 10 XP ticks. I presume the one with 8 is the error (and so are all the crew XP trackers on my digital crew sheets lol).

Under “Recover”, it’s mentioned that you can tough it out, attempt to heal without treatment, take 1 stress, and roll 0d. Does this imply that you may push this undefined roll and pay an additional 2 stress to get an actual die? If this is a normal downtime roll, could you get help from a non-physicker friend or contact to get a die? And, in fact, would this be the only way to get a die?

Dears,
maybe someone can understand Italian Lenguage, so here my “Blades behind the Enemy Lines”, crossover between Blades and Inglorious Bastards.

Can a gang grab a “Veteran” special ability (the ones you can pick from other gangs’ sheets) whenever they’d otherwise get to buy a new special ability, or are the Veteran abilities only available when they’ve bought all of the Shadow-specific ones? Or restricted in some other way?
(I think it’s unrestricted, but I’m often wrong, so I’m checking with y’all.) 🙂

Does anyone have experience with the S&V Roll20 sheets? They’re really nice, but I’m hitting a small bug. The playbooks should appear on the CS when you type in the name. The sheet does that for 6 of the 7, but not for Speaker. I’ve tried some Google hunting around on this but couldn’t find discussion of it?
Any insight?
