Well it is a narrative system, you can also use a Triumph to upgrade the next dice-roll, if it does not fit your campaign that Darth Vader switches sides...

also Darth Vader kinda switched sides in the movies... sooo

Re: FFG's Star Wars and their funky attribute+skill dice

FFG's Star Wars dice don't accomplish anything that a regular old dicepool system couldn't do. Not a dicepool with different shaped dice like you're proposing here, but just a standard Shadowrun pile of six-siders. It's a failed experiment that they shipped anyway, probably to sell the dice. Please...

Your Character So the priorities are wonky in a whole lot of ways. Moving from A to B in attributes costs you 4 points of attributes. Moving from B to C costs you 4 points of attributes. But while moving from A to B on skills costs you 10 skill points, moving from B to C costs you only 8. So depend...

Wait... what? Startkarma and Ingamekarma? What is the point of that? Ofmg. I don't know! but the Character Generation works like This: Priority System and you get 25 "Karma" to buy Stuff you want and for Qualities (negative Qualities increase your Karma and so on). There is are pages wort...

It is pretty obvious that something is wrong with your ruleset when something is the rules says: Qualities cost 2 * the Karmacost in Karma (because "Startkarma" and "IngameKarma" has not the same value, just sharing the name!) also Here's the answer to your question: The errata w...

If you actually read my posts 1) generally not worth it, save for comical value 2) I do not CARE what you post. Hence, I would not know every single post of you here or anywhere. It's not like you are interested in facts, so keep the crocodile tears to yourself. I can't decide if it is funny or sad...

I don't know a "Ritter Arnold" run, so no... If you actually read my posts, you would realize i am here 2 month longer than you, and moreover never defended War or any other shitty SR product, actually the opposite is the case... Fact is, that you Perception of SR4 is clouded by little to ...

@Frank: His grasp of German is none the better, sad as that is. He is a vicious enemy of punctuation, verb forms, and cases. He (purposely, I can only assume) gets them wrong nearly every time (punctuation) or often (others). You can observe his punctuation issues in the above post. His problem was...

If CGL was going to actually lose the license, we would definitely know by now, right? It's nearly a full month into the new year. I don't know, but I expect them to write a big News about it, how well they work together with Topps and so on, if they finalize the license renewal. So if I had to gue...

As someone was wondering about the cover of MilSpec Tech: Yes, that pic was done by me. ALL of the pix were. As was the entire style of depicting them, that is: more along the lines of current video games concept art (with extra tags indicating what this or that piece on that aircraft actually is o...

I looked at the back-covers form RW and CG and I still think the back-cover of Corp Guide does not fit with all the other SR books. The Format is just too different. I don't mind Drakes, IAs and all the other stuff as SC, if you play in a campaign that fits. I can easily imagine a great campaign wit...

I think that the Shadowrun setting has a lot of life left in it, and a lot of potential if handled properly. The Problem is, it is not handled properly: If you take a look at the last releases (Corp Guide, 6WA), the quality is just bad: The Layout is horrible, sometimes about 1/3 of a page is just ...
