[DnD] GW URBX: 20! EVERYONE IS EXPLODE

GFF | Esperansita "The Suck Queen" Mamara | Obsidian Portal

GFF | Rufus "Overwatch" Thorolfsson | Obsidian Portal

GFF | Ayatollah "Fuck The Infidels" Murderson | Obsidian Portal

Pretty sure Rufus may literally be the Flash

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Aww yeah controllable magnetism. Remind me - one of those mutations rotates out once in a while, right? After every encounter or something?

Also, people should suggest some sponsors, because i've still got nothing on that front.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Alpha mutation is randomized after each encounter.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Hahahaha, you gave me an actual suicide bomb attack that is more effective when there are allies in the blast radius. This could be the shortest adventure ever.

Quick question, do you have to be adjacent to your enemy for oath of enmity to work or just be doing a melee attack, i.e. do I get the two rolls with the tentacle attack?

I was speaking idiomatically.

TEAM NAME. If nothing sensible appears by tomorrow, you're all going to be...

(rolls)

Prettiest Devil Avalanche.

...that might work actually.

Yeah, it wants the enemy to be adjacent to you. I too am disappointed.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

You are aware of your player base right?

How about Legion of Doom 2 - Hell on Earth?

FELIPE NO

Or "The Grundles"

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Rotten Ronny and the Mutates

We're talking about a band here right?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think you guys are overlooking the importance of having a name with zing. A good name is important for securing endorsements and cultivating other business relationships.

How ya doing, buddy?

This sounds like exactly the sort of pretentious nonsense an elf, a demon, and a double vampire would come up with while the bruisers are too busy at the gym to come to meetings. Excellent.

Also, how should i go about choosing elemental effects for my bullets? Just pick an element, make half the damage elemental and half normal?

It should be directly related to the flavour of whatever you are chewing while you fire.

FELIPE NO

That, or determined by the last pun you made. No repeats allowed so you have to come up with a new one each time you use one.

"Things are heating up!"

Fires a flame arrow.

Most amazing jew boots

"Looks like our only chance is this new Listerine Glacier Fresh mouth wash!"

Freezes slime golem solid

Shit, now I wish I shot elemental bullets.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

"Lucky I bought this thrice-blessed bagel from Father Johnsons Godly Bagel Bar, the Holiest Holes in the Whole of the Holy Land"

35 Radiant damage to Zombie A

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This definitely has to be a thing.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh geez, no pressure. I don't think i'm clever enough to come up with a new one every single time (or even the first time). Not to mention the amount of food poor Rufus would have to carry around to cover various situations.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Lick your hand and shoot them with a punch in the face.

Requesting that the silverware in Rufus' inventory be magically altered to a large bag of jacks, to coincide with the toymaking sponsor. Because it's not really URBX without product placement.

Anybody who wants to swap in elemental ammo can reload with a minor action. Pun-based corporate whoring will be rewarded in much the same way as other forms of corporate whoring, that is to say, fiscally.

And just to be clear, you always have ammo, I'm not going to be tracking it and GW's standard rules for ammo are sort of silly in a setting where society has mostly recovered.

Let's see, what else needs immediate explaining. The skills were fucked around with severely.

----

Education: This used to be History or Conspiracy. Just general command of mundane facts.

Esoterica: This used to be Arcana, Religion, or Science. Knowledge of, in short, weird shit. How to read Enochian, which brand of sunglasses the Men In Black wear, generally distinguishing between magic and sufficiently advanced technology.

Fitness: Was Acrobatics and Athletics. Walking tightropes, climbing mountains, jumping away from explosions, going up ladders without using your hands.

Intimidate: Okay this one stayed the same.

Mechanics: Mostly the same as it is in core GW. Fixing a rifle or hotwiring a truck is Mechanics. Fixing a Martian plasma cannon or hijacking a teleportation nexus is Esoterica.

Perception: Unchanged.

Skulduggery: Was Stealth and Thievery. How good you are at generally being an underhanded little shit without getting caught at it.

Social: Was Bluff, Diplomacy, Interaction, Insight, Streetwise. Are you a people person? Manipulate rubes, know when you're getting manipulated, generally make people dance like the hormone-driven puppets they are.

Survival: Was Endurance, Heal, Nature. Your general ability to not get your shit completely wrecked when the odds have conspired to wreck your shit.

URBX: Was Dungeoneering. General knowledge and competence regarding things that crop up pretty often in URBX sites, like false walls, dangerous species, and the general sort of dirty tricks that DJs get up to.

Daily powers are now, effectively, one-off. The HoverCam isn't going to let you take a nap, and you cannot destroy the HoverCam. Literally. Experimental alloys. Even if you could, it would just result in your team being blacklisted. Oh, sure, you could do the underground circuit if you wanted to go back to delving for pizza coupons.

On the upside, this is GW-style healing, so you either survive a fight or you don't, and you do, hey, fresh as a daisy.

Action points! You know how they work, but they don't typically belong in GW so they're worth pointing out.

Luck! Luck is how lucky you are. Some people are luckier than others. This doesn't do anything. Why are you asking about it?

Tech overcharge: You can overcharge your Omega tech as well as your Alpha mutations. Along with the attendant risks of an overcharge backfire, cranking it up to 11 makes Omega tech twice as likely to break down after use.

----

I'm a consumer whore! And how.

Like most television, URBX is supported almost entirely by corporate advertising (though URBX does get a small chunk of the government budget in return for the occasional militarily useful bit of salvage). Consequently, a healthily positive attitude toward your corporate masters is good for your URBX career, and walking the line between being an utter shill and still maintaining some kind of street cred can be very rewarding.

Of course, some entities are in competition with each other. If you want that endorsement from Nuka-Cola, you'd better make damn sure nobody sees you drinking Slurm. Other entities may simply cut ties with you on practical or philosophical grounds: Lunar Zenith might not want to be associated with Sven if he slaughters a colony of vegepygmies.

Additional Spam:
Oh, and the game's live now, might mention that since it already slipped underneath SAUS posts.

FELIPE NO

Korgar's pickin' up what I'm puttin' down.

Additional Spam:
Also, I hope the change from Urban Exploration to the intro's Urban Extermination isn't foreshadowing.

Most amazing jew boots

Anything you put down in front of Korgar is probably some kind of clever trap, and will not be picked up without a thorough crushing prior. Korgar has fallen for the ol' donut box full of vengeful nixies too many times. Never again.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wait how did I end up in the south room? I thought I had gone north by the log? :surprisednigger:
