Well I don't think one can Rig/ Control more drones then 1 at once however the idea is as follows; Buy a ton of Bust a Moves (15 or so), give them Targeting "Slap Patches" Autosoft (With GMs approval), and have them overwhelm the opponent with pure numbers. They don't have to hit hard if t...

Problem with F2P games is that their game design is encouraged backwards: In regular games, the game is good, you buy it, the Developers get money. So Motive is Good=Money! In F2P Games the game has to be bad enough, and just annoying and difficult enough that you want to skip all the busywork, to b...

Hadanelith wrote:Star Force was okay but not great (speaking for the first game only, never bothered with the rest). They sacrificed WAY too much to let them do 3D graphics, and it shows.
Its also weird because the art design is still really good in the BN games.

Like it still stands up today.

Sounds frikking Brutal. Did Dethklock design this world? Regardless this feels allot more fun and self satirical then 40K. Here's a clip to one of Jodorowsky's films: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPxqWTVl1MI&index=13&list=PLrzmOg4lC5XjwhU4MyN34trSqO_dSVb3b. I know Jodorowsky, I know dune...

I think they where very similar to the original games, but not as good because they removed 2/3s of your movement space (Even if you get a block button)

Megaman: Battle Network

Ah the early 2000s, when the internet could do anything. And thats when this gem of a Videogame series came out. In my opinion one of the best...RPGs? CCG? Action? Games I ever played. Where random encounters where resolved in less then a second, but longer fights could still be deadly intense and p...

Alright lastly, how would you recommend making a Technomancer/ Infiltrator (On a human base)?

From what I infer, its better to focus on getting sprites to do stuff for you.

OK that makes sense. Lastly is does software count against the maximum programs that can be run before response degradation?

OK Neat. Next questions regarding Drones and Autosofts What the hell is the Drones Pilot? Is it a program? Is it an integral part of the machine? Can it be cybercombated and killed like an Agent? The reason why this is important is I need to know how it all interacts: If its a program, does it inter...

And the idea is that your persona manifests in each node. Thats how you can be engaged in cybercombat in multiple nodes at once ...

I don't understand why Stick and Shock count as magical. Its just electric. I wouldn't rule them as weapons capable of harming a Spirit if I was running a game with them

Im pretty sure spirits bound to weapons can still activate their powers. And elemental aura is one of them. And unless your gm is a douche you could limit the flame/elec/cold around the blade end of the weapon. So tgats a dual natured weapon that does +4 dv and electricuty damage.

It seems to me that the only way to make easy magic weapons is possession binding spirits to objects.

Question on 4e matrix rules (It may be a pointless goal but im trying anyway), but from what I imagined, when you ran a program, its running counted against the node it was inside. So if you hacked into a Security node for a corp, then your persona running in the program would count against those in...

I may be kinda late too the party but OWOD mage was more complex than: "Guys on one end want magic, ones on the other want people to have antibiotics". Its a complicated situation, because in a sense its true. Many of the traditions where bad guys in the years past. Having fun with magic a...
