This is a great idea! It's exciting to think of how one could 'up the ante' on x-games competitions by adding magic and fae bullshit

These are all helpful thoughts! Thank you I'll check out the Savage Worlds for Eberron!

also thank you for your thoughts!

For sure my setting crunch idea is still in early stages. I think what I'm trying to get at is to flesh out the worldbuilding structures of magic. Rather than focus on the stat crunch. I agree with you that Eberron is held back by the system, so I thought, approach it from the other direction.

genius on the reactivation fees!

Could also go for software updates that download at variable speeds depending on the tier of subscription

You've really driven my brain with this prompt - so thank you!

Another wrinkle could be the need to constantly have the latest cyberware. Subscriptions only work on past three years of models (or whatever punishing timeline works best).

really build on that and see how much magic one can pump into a setting. I've already told my players that all cantrips and most lower level utility spells are built into items. A closet that uses transmutation to clean your clothes., etc.

there. While part of this discussion can lead to looking at the top tier - power creep sort of magic. I'm actually more curious to find where all the boundaries are so that I can build more in the middle space between dragon magic and 5e spells lists. Eberron is a high magic setting, I want to 3/

I'm running an Eberron game right now, in Argonessen. Dragon society has crazy levels of magic, PCs have standard 5e spells. There's such a huge gap between those ideas that's it's got me thinking more and more about these setting or narrative boundaries to magic. What are they, and why are they 2/

OMG YES!
Also a new avenue of hacking. Hack cyberware to a lower tier subscription or make it seem to be from a different corporation.

With the joy of Tiered subscriptions and constant price changes. Normal vision at the basic lvl, infrared at the hunter lvl, UV at the top tier predator lvl.
Also have corporate blackout zones, where your gear doesn't work in a competitor's zone of influence.

And to you as well!

Looking forward to a new healthier year with fun creative opportunities despite the corruption and chaos that surrounds us all.

I'd love to play some great indie TTRPGs, maybe get to do an AP. So thankful for all the people on here that I follow that help me feel connected to the community.

The thing that has worked best for me is to meet even if we're missing someone. Just to hang out, but keeping the ritual of meeting on a day and time is helpful for consistency.
