Rad. Thank you so much!

I got something cooking with this method and combat stamina that I'm hoping to have out sometime soon.

I usually do each piece gives you 1 DMG reduction so a helm + plate + shield can soak 3-5 DMG. Granted this works best with variable damage as you tend to git higher numbers like d8/d10 where that amount of soak matters.

Even if it's not an IP-based game, I think I'm at the point where I'd prefer a simple "This game is like X" over giant walls of text.

With how attuned we have become with the zeitgeist of popular culture, how necessary do you find it to have your game contain a giant wall of text explaining the lore or setting for you to be able to understand "what your game is"?

Definitely agree. Armor Soak and Dodge/Parry is the way to go.

It's honestly a great combo!

We've done it before and have the Bugs visit Mausritter's Estate setting from the mysterious "Whitehall", a museum inspired by Carapace.

@losing.games since this is based on the official Mausritter character sheet do I need to release it under the Mausritter compatibility terms or something if I want to distribute it online?

Not yet but if I release it I'll try to remember to ping you!

Made some custom, hybrid character sheets.

Got to play this the other night and it was an enjoyable little skirmish encounter.

Working on expanding the RP aspect of it.

Adobe Fonts being stupid is seriously making me consider dropping a silly amount of money to not deal with their nonsense right now.

I love both Annihilation the movie and the book though they are very different.

Both have had a big impact on my work, especially Primeval.

Bungee - Google Fonts In the crowded urban environment, space for signage is always at a premium. From dumpy liquor stores to majestic theaters, sometimes signs have nowhere to go bu

Though it is disturbing how many of the logos make use of Bungee...
