Echoes of the Multiverse

This fried my brain at first. 😅 Active in that you have to roll and remind me you have it because I forget stuff. Passive in that it just works otherwise. Attractive is basically Enhanced Bluff and Diplomacy Limited to half of all people. Ah, cool. That is one of the things that was discussed at le...

Arcanum You recognize the armored figures as a likely member of the Skypirates, one of a handful of groups combining power armor with aerial piracy (it's actually surprising how many of those there are), with the blaze on his chest likely indicating some level of leadership. The one he's holding, t...

The game sold well, and is apparently the best-selling French game of all time (though I can't imagine there's a lot of THOSE around in the big leagues). Hmm... bestselling French game immediately made me wonder where Twinsen falls on the spectrum, although Alone in the Dark is probably up there.

Princess Fedora Aparecida started for a moment at her real name, before realizing that likely the organization provided some sort of briefing on who people might be working with. Note to self... check through the paperwork for that briefing "Code name in public, please," she said softly, ...

For Princess Fedora's Diplomacy to get Manuel to be helpful, Diplomacy: 1D20+18 = [6]+18 = 24. A lowish roll, admittedly.

And it was a lovely post, but sadly in my head... no, I just kind of slipped on things for some days.

Arcanum Shortly after Eagleman sets the vehicle down and rushes in, he hears a sound of energy discharge, and a man in armor carrying a man wrapped in a net suddenly flies out of the flames, and hovers for a moment before staring down at Arcanum. "God damn it... there's more of you?" he s...

Streetwise

As Streetwise finally makes his way to the tenth floor, he emerges from the stairwell to see... a large gap on the wall where the plane had gouged into the building, but no plane. However, the area where the plane had been is currently smouldering with a growing fire...

Martian Man and Eagleman The figures in armor stumble slightly as the plane is set down, and Eagleman flies in while Martian Man continued to struggle in the netting. "Now there's two of them!" the man with the blaze on his armor yells unnecessarily narrating the situation, and points his...

GM Meanwhile, V is finding that his task to carry the former prisoners to the shelter is taking more time than originally expected. He can fly at high speeds with little side effect, and he's been able to carry people at that speed before... but the snow and ice, while not harmful to him, proves to...

GM A police officer runs up to Arcanum and points up at the towers. "I vote for making sure that thing doesn't squash anyone!" he says, as the craft slowly descends under the guidance of the winged Eagleman, "Or if you can do something with fires," he waves up at the towers, whe...

GM As Martian Man darts forward and rips the netting away, the vehicle lurches, being lifted from where it was lodged by Eagleman, and being slowly lowered to the street. After a brief stumble, the figure with the blaze on his armor points at Martian Man. "Take care of him! I will resubdue the...

GM The armored figure pauses for a second, then suddenly erupts in laughter. "The cold must be affecting you more than I thought if you think I'm that arctic lunkhead," she says between gasps of levity, "No, you face Madame Zero. I even made a broadcast to let everyone know what thei...

There was a short-lived Animated Series, and a sequel came out the following year. It did well enough (and is considered the BEST Atari 2600 game of all time by Retro Gamer Magazine - it added extra power to the six-year old console by building gear right into the game's cartridge), but the next on...

I'm very interested in hearing about what they went through to get the game out. It's not my story to tell, but I think Greycrusader worked as a freelancer and made some posts on the old board. They're still around, and might be willing to speak. Then again, they might be bound by confidentiality a...
