Big same. Got drafts that have been sitting around for 2+ years at this point because I keep wanting them to be big and polished

the thumbnail is just the anglerfish and the word BOOK and it's delightful

I stick with my theory that "Skywalker" is the go-to bastard name in the galaxy; there are trillion of them out there.

Genre, like canon, is not only fake but also dumb.

Those old grimoire authors were really stretching with some of those spirits.

"Uh....yeah, he teaches all the arts and sciences. All of them. Every one. Does a mean ceramics class at the rec center."

Your stats are Manpower, Facilities, Budget, Intel, and PR

I believe the demo is still available on Steam!

Okay, I think I see what you're aiming for. Guess I'll just have to wait for the next update.

The superintelligent AI with a 45% skill rating is only going to have to roll dice for superintelligent AI level challenges, same way that a human is only going to have to roll for a human-level challenge.

So in Mothership, the weakest spaceship-grade weapon deals 1d5 damage to other ships and 1d5 x 1000 damage to a human. But instead of notating it like that, they just say MDMG for "megadamage". That's the sort of scaling I'm talking about.

Yeah, this is where scaling & scope comes into play; the hyperintelligent AI with a 45% in a skill is scaled to other hyperintelligent AI and sequestered off in the module where the character options are all on that tier.

The under the hood mechanic is the same, the dressing is different.

I mean, they've been extremely up front about that ever since Hecate was revealed in the first trailer.

Core resolution systems are pretty easy to scale up and down; a human and a spaceship in Mothership will have different names for their stats, but the underlying dice roll remains d% + skill roll-under with advantage / disadvantage.
