04:55:13 syv: I want to devour a corpse ._.
04:56:00 Devastator: hungry for meat, or is this more exotic?
04:57:16 syv: Though I really want to rip into something and tear it apart with my teeth
04:57:23 syv: So I guess I want a big steak
04:57:39 syv: ...Yes that is definitely the case, visualizing ir
05:01:00 Devastator: I remain essentially in a box.
05:08:32 Devastator: some commentator suggested that Allison's power in K6BD is to say what should be her last words and have them not be her last.
05:16:19 syv: That's both an amazing power and a shit power
05:17:11 Egan_: particularly because it doesn't let her be unscathed, more like she's burning fate points
05:17:11 Devastator: Now.. how to put that into a magical girl wish..
05:17:37 Egan_: oh look, you just barely didn't actually die from that!
05:17:38 Devastator: I do admit, it's pretty badass to have infinite fate points whenever you say something that should result in your death.
05:19:06 Egan_: I was just checking the only war book today, it does recommend the GM give fate points to players who pull something off or RP particularly well
05:19:29 syv: I was thinking about adding them to the nyafor system
05:19:34 Egan_: so if you say your badass line well enough you might just be given a fate point that you will be needing very soon :p
05:25:41 Egan_: hmm, in 40k fate points seem to have a kinda supernatural element to them, representing that big E has plans for you, or maybe tzeentch or some other schemer god
05:25:53 Egan_: what would that be in nyafor?
05:26:11 Egan_: well, I guess the gods could be real...
05:26:37 Egan_: particularly the ascended fox god, but maybe others
05:34:23 syv: In nyafor it would be "really good tactics"
05:35:06 syv: That scene near the end of Jormungand? With the Navy SEALs who were basically teleporting occult ghosts?
05:36:46 Devastator: that's reminding me of Irony's game.
05:37:02 Devastator: where I tried to play CREEEEED, and took the power to summon a baneblade wherever I goddamn well pleased.
05:38:41 syv: Same way Creed's absurdly good tactics are reflected in basically having absurd stealth magic on the tabletop
05:38:56 syv: Nyafor "fate points" would be tactic points you spend to break the rules a bit
05:39:35 Devastator: Yeah, I could see it doing teleports or something.
05:41:02 syv: I was thinking like "You can negate an attack (because you were using cover well)", or "you can move a category closer than normal (because you're really fast and aggressive)" or "you can shoot first despite being at a disadvantage", etc.
05:41:35 syv: The former being a big one really. Nyafor system currently is really lethal if your opponent is competent.
05:41:39 Egan_: well, I was considering the commander character in my own nyafor game would be a psychic tactical genius, and that just covers having the ability to micromanage units :p
05:41:49 syv: And there's not really much of any way to mitigate that.
05:42:02 syv: But realism isn't good in games.
05:42:33 syv: And yes, magic helps a lot. It works well in actual post-rift nyafor, slots in -very- nicely.
05:42:51 syv: But it was originally made to be a setting agnostic system I can just use for whatever
05:43:28 syv: Verloren would be the second most likely setting, which does at least have the advantage of your units being cyborg children.
05:43:34 syv: And cyborg children break rules.
05:44:21 Egan_: call em fudge points. mmmm, fudge
05:45:18 Devastator: If you're gonna be honest like that, call thm Bullshit Dice or something.
05:45:21 syv: Foresight would be better if it were just a bonus given to the PC, I suppose.
05:45:27 Egan_: hahaha, I planned for this very circumstance (in-character)
