A Yelp in the Dark: My Travel Kit
http://ayelpinthedark.blogspot.com/2016/12/my-travel-kit.html
Saturday, December 3, 2016. I've been redsigning what I travel with in anticipation of PaizoCon 2017. Yes, it's 6 months away but I like to be prepared and last year I packed way too much and hurt my back. I'd love to be this excited about a Pinnacle Con but they don't come up here. And with my home life being what it is, a 4 day break is a rare god-send. This holds a couple of mechanical pencils, a laminated initiative card which can also be used for tracking rounds, Pathfinder Condition Cards and Buff ...

A Yelp in the Dark: My Despair Shall Not Win.
http://ayelpinthedark.blogspot.com/2016/11/my-despair-shall-not-win.html
Thursday, November 10, 2016. My Despair Shall Not Win. Yes, my depression is kicking my creative butt right now. To say I am disappointed and fearful of our new president elect is putting things mildly. But I am not going to spew vindictive venom. There is enough of that on Facebook at the moment. So I'm going to take some time off and stare at pics of my Minion. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My Products On DrivethruRPG. My Despair Shall Not Win. Part 2 - Vehicle Scales.

A Yelp in the Dark: Damage OUCH! Part 2 - Vehicle Scales
http://ayelpinthedark.blogspot.com/2016/11/damage-ouch-part-2-vehicle-scales.html
Monday, November 7, 2016. Part 2 - Vehicle Scales. Okay so here is more math, but this is the only way I can find to make damages work at higher tiers. It also means I will be setting up a system where making vehicles is the same or similar as making characters. Vehicles have a Vigor die, like characters, and Toughness is calculated the same (Vigor/2 2). Then the scale modifier is added depending on the vehicle's scale. Small Vehicle (cars, planes, etc) 5. Medium Vehicles (tanks, starfighters, etc) 10.

Wednesday, September 28, 2016. Freebies - Sewer Tiles Fixed! And here's the new link. Tuesday, September 27, 2016. I was going through my wife's craft stuff and I came across a cheap little matte cutter she had. It was perfect for cutting down all of the chip board leftovers I have from some failed 8x10 tile experiments. So I have adopted 6x6 as my official tile set size, and I have more tiles planned as time goes on (such as sci-fi! As for rooms, they can break the 6x6 rule depending on what they are.

A Yelp in the Dark: May 2016
http://ayelpinthedark.blogspot.com/2016_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 23, 2016. Repeat After Me. Play It RAW Before You Tinker. A) When calculating Toughness versus die type, there is no flat ratio. This is because of the potential for acing. The two easily identifiable benchmarks are 2/3s for d6 and 1/2 for d12. Example: a 3d6 weapon is at its sweet spot against a 12 Toughness (3x6 = 18 cut in 2/3s is 12). Whereas a a 3d12 weapon is at its sweet spot against an 18 Toughness (3x12 = 36/2 = 18). It's just not my cup of tea. In DTotSL, shields use the Powers rule...

Friday, December 16, 2016. More on Chases and Vehicle Combat. I've been delving more into Vehicle Chases and Combat, mainly because I want to keep them abstract and not need tabletop miniatures. I've done some personal hacks during game to keep things running F! But I want to codify my house rules so they aren't constantly changing in game (due to my forgetful nature). Here's what I have so far. As always, a draw of a club for an initiative card indicates an Obstacle that must be avoided with a driving r...

A Yelp in the Dark: August 2016
http://ayelpinthedark.blogspot.com/2016_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 25, 2016. Sci-Fi Minis - The Ugly Truth. I've been mulling how I am going to do Sci-Fi miniatures for a while. Here are the issues I have run into:. 1) If I make unique aliens, it will be impossible to find pre-made miniatures for them. 2) If I make my own figure flats for them, I am looking at an AWFUL amount of drawing. I am not overly keen on the idea, even if I make a photoshop file where I can mix and match outfits and hairstyles, etc like City of Heroes. But if there are any mini-m...
