DFRPG / What Exactly Is A Freeholding Lord?
« on: April 06, 2014, 02:39:55 PM »
Hi folks,

I'm aware of a certain NPC who is a Freeholding Lord in Our World and it lists who signed him in (And I remember same from the novels) but where I'm a bit sketchy is exactly what rights and responsibilities being a Freeholding Lord would grant a character.

Can anyone give any advice or suggestions on this?

Some questions I have:

How is the "territory" of a Freeholding Lord determined? How large is it? Presumably it would be a small section of the city they are based in?

What authority does a Freeholding Lord have?

What responsibilities?


If anyone would like to chime in and chat about this one I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks

Someone was asking this in the foyer over on the Ragnarok NYC chat yesterday, it sparked some discussion but I thought I'd take it here too and see what you folks think.

The question is: if a person with inhuman toughness is hit by something that fulfils their catch, obvioiusly it bypasses their armor. But does it also bypass their extra stress boxes? Does The Catch make it as if they just don't have Inhuman Toughness on their sheet?

 One person mentioned it might be a bit of a book-keeping pain, as now the player has essentially two physical stress tracks to keep an eye on.

I've been wondering and I see both sides of the question.

What's the thinking on it around here?

Thanks!

DFRPG / Game-Breaking Powers To Worry About?
« on: May 09, 2013, 10:09:17 PM »
Hey folks,

One thing that comes up from time to time in discussion as we build Ragnarok NYC is: are there any powers etc we need to house rule so they don't break the game?

Things I've heard people be worried about so far:

Evocation
Higher levels of Incite Emotion

And then things like combination of Evocation and Enchanted Items for incredible Defense, stuff like that.


I'm generally pretty easy on this stuff and my default position is to not want to limit whatever's in the book, but I thought I'd invite people here to comment to get the benefit of your experience.

Thanks a lot!

DFRPG / Factions For An Online DFRPG Chat
« on: April 19, 2013, 10:48:20 PM »
Hi folks,

We're thinking about some factions we'd like to have in our NYC modern-day DF game on gamingsandbox.com.

So far thinking White Court, White Council, Paranet, Winter Court, Summer Court...

You've got purely antagonistic factions like Black Court, Red Court, Denarians.

Something like Father Forthill ran with in the seventies too.

It's a lot of fun thinking about factions, but you folks have the experience, any fun factions you'd suggest and that are okay to use on our chat game?

Thanks a lot!

DFRPG / How would you make psychokinetics in DFRPG?
« on: April 02, 2013, 07:09:41 PM »
Hi folks,

I was talking to someone who was interested in doing a psychics campaign using DFRPG rules, with the psychics themselves being mostly divided into telepaths and telekinetics/psychokinetics.

(Nobody ever uses 'psycho' instead of 'tele' for telepath, huh. Anyway)

The movie Chronicle http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1706593/ is a good example of what he's interested in for the kinetics, thinking probably 7 refresh characters.

Does anyone have any suggestions about what might be a nice way to build that?

Cheers!
