[[I've been working on Lords of Centria: Fantasy Tactical Warfare for a while now. I would like to get an opinion on this draft of the 4th edition. I ripped out a bunch of stuff that was redundant or was causing the game to be too slow. Figured I'd post it here to get an opinion.

Lords of Centria: Tactical Fantasy Warfare V.4

Regardless of game mode a few rules are required through-out:
1)   Attempt to post often. We cannot proceed with a turn until you have posted. If you are a repeat offender you will be removed from the game.
2)   If you post turns via an edit or edit a post please inform me before-hand.

The rule set certainly seems very interesting, so I'd be interested in playing. There doesn't, however, appear to be any rule against taking an absurdly large amount of skeletons for no cost, unless I missed something.

It isn't explicitly stated that you can't I suppose. But it is mentioned that they are summoned by Necromancers. I'll fix that in a bit.

So, I was thinking of running a game that's like a combination of generic urban fantasy+SCP foundation+magic girl anime where the players would capture/kill/fuck over global organizations for your generic well intentioned conspiracy. I really need help with a system, preferably something somewhat easy to manage, to use with the game. Preferably something that uses, say, d20s or d50s maybe even d100s.

What exactly would you need in the system, hmm?

Well, my basic idea was using d50s with bonuses from stats and also a system for perks and flaws that may interact, the second goal is something that can be done later as they're mostly for flavor and giving special attacks or moves.

Judging by your description, you'll want a point-buy system...
Hmm... Would a modded Tri-stat dX work for you?

I was thinking more like, you get a set number of stat points to divide between, say, eight stats, some 'trade points' to get some initial equipment, and you get to choose what type of powers you have which will give you different methods of progressing.

I'm fairly certain what you described here is, in fact, point buy, minus the 'buy powers/effects with points', since your idea replaces that with deciding on your power and levelling it. This will however, need a lot of GM looking things over, to avoid complete game breaker powers. Stats shouldn't be too hard, go DnD, perhaps the 2 additional stats being the ones in M&M 3rd Ed, or some such.

I'd imagine the trade point bit might be difficult though, although that's more because you, as the GM, would have to either A. Write up tables/lists or B. work with the players on this. You know, they say the equipment they want, you determine the point cost of said equipment.

One example of what you could do with a d100. And one person who liked the idea.
So basically with that system you put in points to increase the roll number you need to go under to beat the roll and when they reach fifty for that number they can roll twice should they fail the first roll and when they get to fify in that they get another chance and so on?

I already have the stats in mind. And I have somethings to weed out problem powers, first rule being No Teleporters or portals. No instant kills are only availible if there are very heavy drawbacks such as being reduced to one HP and recieveing a huge debuff to dodging and defense for example.

What do you need help with in the system in, then?

And also, can I pre-in?

Basically, every X points is another chance, but with diminishing returns in between.
