Goodman Games

Wow... that's some good stuff. Admittedly I was going to avoid doing much with the Mech Jock and indeed Mechs until the end due to their complicated nature. But here's some stuff from my notes... Weapon Property: Chatter : On a Critical strike Weapon does 2+(2 per enhancement bonus) ongoing damage (...

OK! so I was thinking about the Constructor(variant wizard specialist) and weather to make it its own class or just a variant with a couple optional powers more in line with the genre. I think it would be best to make it its own class for a few interesting reasons. More genre specific useful abiliti...

Apologies all around, I hit a bout broken computer followed by a bout of way too lazy, then a bout of obsessed with Gemcraft. But I'm back. Full of new and hopefully inspired ideas, and if I can maintain this mental state for a few days I'll make a good amount of progress on this update again. also,...

I won? I won! Monkey Dance!(nope... really the truffle shuffle) Time to Email! Series of tubes don't fail me now. Also, I had another interesting idea...but it's for another thread entirely... I'll have to make some quick notes before I get to the sleep I'm about 4 hours late for right now... but em...

Uniracers, Super Mario World, Earthbound, and Secret of Evermore.

Thanks! Hmm... Ok, an Xcrawl shirt. the Xcrawl logo on the front pocket. on the back, the roster for the teams that went thru the Celeberaty pro-am crawl with celebrities with groups or individuals marked off in red with the reason written in underneath(like a whole group X'ed out with "DRAGON&...

Ok, here's one.

A crossed weight bar bell and scythe, with the Goodman triceratops overlayed in the center.

with the the text. "Goodman Games Gym" "Millers Court, Áereth" and on the back "Get Ripped"

With an optional red fleck splash as a blood spray effect.

Indeed, altering some flavor is by far the easiest way to get the most basic way to alter things for a game, heck my gnome barbarian was overhauled and is a mere shadow of what he was because of the way things are supposed to scale in 4E, but his flavor is still the same, though his small greatsword...

I like the idea, I've even got a few rolling around in my noodle already. but I'll kep them in my pocket till there is word of a contest or not.

well the rules make a lot more sense...

I'll have to whip some up to try and get some swag. swag is good.

one sentence? hmm... how will I express a complicated background akin to the lord of the rings for each npc?

Like Gandalf the white, but a barbarian.

Like Frodo, but competent.

Like Sauron, but successful.(the nightmare setting is actually pretty cool)

I think the biggest problem there is two fold... 1. immediate need(dragon attacking) vs future need/want(planning on invading another kingdom) and 2.Assuming any magic merchant worth his salt is going to have the real +4 holy avenger just sitting on a shelf just inside his door. But, I don't want to...

justifying assault "cause we need it and don't want to pay" is at least in my opinion not heroic in the slightest. you could always talk to the merchant and actually do the role-play bit, but for quick and dry in and out purchasing/selling of stuff the rules work just fine... PC's often ha...

aye, the economy promotes the character to go out and adventure, or be giant evil douches and attack supposedly well armed and defended merchants. But the important thing is... why? because the so called "heroes" are actually greedy as hell players? if that's the case the players need to l...

SKills, yeah, it's a skill focus game, knowledges and crafting specifically. Knowledges are still in but crafting is out. Which squarely puts it in the realm of background, if you want to be a blacksmith you just say you're a blacksmith, the more complicated things(magical item) are made with ritual...

Man oh man... I hate loosing my passwords for stuff... but I got a hard copy now.. that will show me for clearing browser history... Tsukasa111, I've been thinking about it, and while the idea of using a point accumulation system to use powers is a good idea, it brings a level of paperwork that woul...

Coglayer Role : Hybrid (controller/striker) You exchange quickly between short range battlefield manipulation and close up dangerous steam powered weapons, your versitility works well with many others. Power Source : Steam. Super heated water, and a few turbines provide the bulk of the power, you j...

whoo such enthusiasm! Well since there are no real craft skills in 4E, by the power of handwavium the need for a ritual to make the basic coglayer gear is a bit much. As far as the skills, everything in 4E get's fewer skills because a lot were combined or removed. As far as the steam powers, since i...

yay! someone else helping! quick comments... hmmm... rituals are a bit too low of a level, too many skills, but I do like the flavor of the rituals, though they'll have to be on hold until the things they are about. ok. got a basic breakdown of powers based on class, about 74 powers average per clas...

*cough cough* Bump. *cough cough*

also, got the books... a bit early...will be dissecting it soon and starting to piece together things.

classes
races
equipment
mechs
skills... so much to do...

I don't think there is a list of what can be put where.

hehe... eh... only 26 days till we get the books!

That's what I'm doing! Speculation and an attempting to get some organization is most of what I'm trying to do. I'm a bit 4E crazed... was reading the 4e excerpt within minutes of them being posted...despite being at work...which is when I do a lot of my posting...I like my job(could use more hours ...

Ok, so I've gone thru the books to compile a complete list of feats. 133 total (I hope that's all of them...anyone wanna double check?) Some are going to sit on the back burner, because there aren't going to be rules for some things like animal companions yet. Some are going to stay race power feats...

I agree. The use of magic to replace the need of a scout is a good idea. I personlly like making unique variants on a theme, similar to this, a magwagon where instead of extra storage space, it has 6 catapults line up 2x3 along it's back with a team of trained workers(and enough automators to do the...
