My first response in this thread related to switching costs . Any given audience won't switch to a new system/product/etc. unless it offers valuable benefits that existing systems can't offer , or it significantly (like 10x) outperforms existing systems at fulfilling the audience's needs. I agree. ...

The manager of a division of a pharmacy company in a mega-corp would, at most report to the president or CEO of the pharmacy company. And probably would report to someone below the president. The president reports to a VP, who maybe reports to the CEO. I think understand what you're saying but you ...

Rather than spamming the forum with plugs, I'm just gonna put this here. My system is designed around this kind of thing because the fittest warrior and the most corpulent scribe having the same level of agency and athleticism in battle is just ludicrous.

Shameless plug of S.I.T.R.E.P
My own system above handles this rather smoothly. A mix of dynamic initiative, action points and character limits. It avoids the usual murkiness of this subject by simply asking not what is an action but what isn't. Then puts that to work.

The way I handle this for After Sundown is that only a tiny minority of people are Luminaries, and only Luminaries get to stay named characters if they turn into Vampires or Zombies. And everybody else who gets turned just degenerates into a monster. -Username17 This sounds like SLA Industries. 'Ce...

@ PrometheanVigil : I think you misunderstand me. I get that Bloodlines are a sub-classification of Clans in both VTM and VTR. My thinking is that that 'bloodlines' should not exist at all in any legitimate formal capacity in whatever Vampire: The Vampening that follows VTM and VTR. My thinking is ...

So you're saying that clan in a social unit - you're a Toreador if you say you are and more importantly the others say so, too? Ie, it's possible to be adopted into a clan and equally possible to be without a clan? No, I'm saying exactly what I said: you are part of one ethnicity (let's say, Haitia...

My take: you have to explain why someone that has been embraced is taken into a clan. Like, what does clan even mean? If vampires 'recruit' and they target the kind of people they think would 'fit in' with their sorority, you're going to have a different feel than if some people turn into a vampire...

If Shadowrun had balls, they'd make Lifestyle an actual criticism of inequality. Certainly, there should be different kinds of Lifestyles and the perks. A crime lord may have a converted factory in the Barrens with private bar and stripper poles, but an assasin mage might have a corporate apartment...

The whole point of shadowrun is that everybody is looking out for numbero uno. Backstabbing is not the exeption, but the expected outcome. Street Names and certified credsticks were used for a reason. NO REAL NAME NEEDED. Your SIN and your Street Name should never ever be connected. In all my years...

Lifestyle Systems
I've never seen so much drama over "lifestyle" decisions in RPGs that facilitate that little piece of simulation and yet, in the same token, also be the cause of some pretty authentic bonding between players (and their characters, of course!) over their shared lifestyle. (Actually, no, I'v...

PVP: love it or hate it?
'Tis glorious. And it is criminally panned. Yet held up as one of the most impartial means of settling character (or, more likely, player!) disputes. Usually all in the same breath. Also, the cause of many a dice and pens and big gulps being thrown across tables... In the last few sessions at the cl...

Sounds like Pistols are fairly sweet in this system, as you can start every combat with Dual Pistol Shots unless there's a TWF Penalty I'm missing so far. Given this is Josh Sawyer, the guy who agreed that Unarmed was redundant in Fallout: New Vegas, I'm surprised he went so granular with skills. R...

Re: [VtM] Giovanni Chronicles
X I read through the entire Giovanni Chronicles series back in the day and it was pretty awesome, all things considered. I had to mentally switch Clans around, convert mechanics and so on into their Requiem equivs/semi-equivs and go from there to get the most out of it from a design/scenario perspe...
