Galaxy Generation

FATE: Galaxy Generation

Draft 1.1 April 23, 2013 - Blue Tyson

Talking of cosmological fractals, I thought something like this would be fun - and you could apply modifiers from shape to type to subsectors and clusters. Dead galaxy, garden worlds less likely, etc.

Hadn't come up with a 'subsector' or sector generation generic table as yet.

FATE: Universe Generation

-4 Dead Universe
-3 Extremely Sparsely Populated Universe
-2 Sparsely Populated
-1 Lower Populated
0 Standard Universe

The Uncanny X-Men Campaign Set

This campaign guide includes a 100 page Roster book that is quite similar to and pretty much an update of the X-Men book.

Classic Marvel Uncanny X-Men Campaign Set download

The Campaign Set has multiple books..so the Roster book could be devoted to just that..and it is designed to pack in the characters…multiple columns, entries split over pages if necessary. Could have used smaller type and headings to fit more in perhaps.

However, there are way over 300 characters here. Pretty much anyone you could want up to that time, including early and late career versions of the original X-Men, Magneto etc.

FASERIP Traveller

FASERIP – Traveller – anyone ever done that?

I’ve been considering the Guardians of the Galaxy, given a recent writeup and arrival.

I have been considering a rough rule of thumb for the purpose of the exercise…15 or F is Remarkable…and perhaps some sort of exponential scale from there, so Incredible is G, Amazing is H, etc. No combat details or anything worked out there.

Perhaps Jack of All Trades is your Typical skill level and 1 is Good, that sort of thing.

So the Excellent Agility Star-Lord might have Pistol 3 and the Marksman Rocket Raccoon with Remarkable Agility might have Rifle 5…that sort of thing.

Powers would have Skill Levels perhaps and ones that blast etc. damage extrapolated from equating the Traveller ones and the MSH weapons that are similar. Remarkable is 5D or that sort of thing. In MSH terms an Unearthly space cannon would not quite splat an all-15 or Remarkable character…so that could be in the 10-12D ballpark.

NCIS

FATE: NCIS

A team of cops investigate an ever-lengthening list of reasons not to work for the US Navy and related organisations near Virginia.

Draft 1.0 April 21, 2013 - Blue Tyson

ADVENTURING

At the beginning, roll 4dF

+0 Dead Marine
+1 Dead Marine Petty Officer
-1 Dead Navy Personnel
+2 Dead Navy Petty Officer
-2 Dead Marine Senior Officer
+3 Dead Navy Senior Officer
-3 Dead Navy Senior Officer who was also a terrorist
+4 Dead Navy Senior Officer who was also a spy
-4 Dead Navy Senior Officer who was also a spy and a terrorist

The GM and players then construct an investigation. This will make a good short oneshot. There are enough characters in the cast below except for an exceedingly large gaming group. In that case, make up a guest star NCIS team of agents to work with.

Basic investigation checklist

1. Where was the body found
2. What condition was the body in and what evidence was found
3. Who knew the victim
4. Why was the victim killed
5. Who are the suspects
6. What are the possible motives
7. Who is most likely to have done it
8. Who actually did it

THE LADDER

Being a big Marvel Super Heroes fan from way back, this is how I like to think:

Value Adjective

+13 Cosmic 5 (Class 5000)
+12 Cosmic 3 (Class 3000)
+11 Cosmic 1 (Class 1000)
+10 Legendary Z (Shift Z)
+9 Legendary Y (Shift Y)
+8 Legendary X (Shift X)
+7 Unearthly (Epic)
+6 Monstrous (Fantastic)
+5 Amazing (Superb)
+4 Incredible (Great)
+3 Remarkable (Good)
+2 Excellent (Fair)
+1 Good (Average)
+0 Typical (Mediocre)
-1 Poor
-2 Feeble (Terrible)
-3 Awful 0 (Shift 0)
-4 Abysmal

FASERIP - basic human attributes

These are the skills all people have.

Physique is split compared to Core, into a Strength component and an Endurance component, the latter of which should be used for the Stress track. Reason is native intelligence.

Fighting (Fight)
Agility (Athletics)
Strength
Endurance
Reason
Intuition (Notice)
Psyche (Will)

secondary

Popularity is a measure of charisma, reputation and public influence. If you like, bad people can have a negative popularity ladder equivalent. Supervillains, mass murderers, ruthless thugs in The Ball, etc.
