I've been planning to put up a sheet on that, just haven't got to it yet.

We start the night game here in about a half hour.

My acceptance letter came today! HEAD FIRST INTO HELL I GO!

[Empiricist]

Congratulations Piecewise! Another step closer to murdering stuff with radiation!

[Egan_BW]

Gratz. Now you'll be able to invent complex systems for radiation damage!

[spazyak]

Hey peicewise maybe you should join a marching band

Good job PW! Now get to slowly murdering parts of people with radiation!

So far I've liked every bit of fan art that came out of these tests. All two of them.

But this system seems to lead to a bit of "Hard" insanity. Ie insanity that arises out of the rules instead of because of an absence of rules. Like the apparently now accepted method of just taking like 5-8 combat stims and roid raging to the point of near insanity.

Remind me to modify that rule because they're op right now.

...What tests? I missed things.

...What tests? I missed things.

ER redux, testing and refining the optimal method of killing idiots in space. PW's not been feeling the actual game, so he's been letting us run around in test sessions on Roll20 with an all-new system (most notably including hard-and-fast rules for hitting, damage and being damaged) and different setting (working off a debt to a corporation rather than being a spacefaring convict).

There may or may not be an epilogue for current ER in the not very distant future, as a side note.

Also of note is that at the moment there's no way to factor the difficulty of a task when rolling, so pulling duct tape off of your helmet is exactly as hard as lifting a manhole cover is exactly as hard as hitting a Xenos.

Thats actually something I'm gonna address in the next version, specifically with with "Situational bonuses"  Ie pluses or maluses to your effective stat score depending on what you're doing. So something easy or something being done at the right moment (Such as Oz's shoving past a robot he just shot in the stomach) gets you bonuses while doing something unusually hard or at a bad moment (like Doc's trying to get around a robot while he was horribly injured) would get you negatives.

Also looking into adding both the traits and flaws as well as chosen abilities to let mind and dex play a greater role in combat.
