Shadow of the Beanstalk - Pregen Characters

I'm finally getting around to running Night On The Town. I was going thru the pregen character sheets that FFG/Edge (link below) put out for it and seeing if I could recreate them with the character generation rules from the SotB book. Seems like there are some inconsistencies. In general, the "Total XP" on the sheets don't seem to equal what it required to create them from scratch. Biggest discrepancy appeared to be a 25 deficit for Vince. More importantly, however, there seem to be some incorrect stats, unless I'm missing something.

Aditi - If clones start with 85xp, how can she have attributes at 2/2/4/2/3/2? She would need 100xp to achieve that right? Does she get extra xp somehow, perhaps from the Big Favor? I didn't get the impression that favor xp could be used for attributes but I'm not sure the books says they can't.

More Aditi - Wound threshold is stated at 13 but the book says 9+brawn which would be 11. Strain threshold is 14 but by the book then 9+willpower (3) + grit (1) = 13. Am I missing something?

Mila- Strain threshold stated as 10 but BTB for cyborgs 8 + willpower (2) + grit (1) = 11.

Otherwise fine. It's just a one-shot after all. The question about whether favor xp can be used for attributes is probably the most important if we end up making new characters.

[SotB] - Clone barcodes

Clones generally have barcodes tattooed on the back of their necks. Is there any reason a rogue clone could/would not remove it the first chance they found? Rather than just covering it up with clothing forever.

Catastrophes and Catgirls: An Arknights Genesys Setting Book

Hey hey people, Atriark here.

3 years since I last posted anything relating to this project.

https://preview.redd.it/2qblnkqzdzah1.png?width=599&format=png&auto=webp&s=817e25ae493ad83dea78d22ec09d7a9521a1132e

It's been a while, but I have a big update. I can confidently say that it's done. The Catastrophes and Catgirls Genesys setting book is finished and available in pdf (through dropbox) as well as through a link (through homebrewery).

Embers of the Imperium: N'orr Morphology Options

For "Embers of the Imperium" I just added new morphology options for the N'orr. According to the lore, many N'orr have wings, bladed forearms, etc., so it should definitely be a potential player option IMO!

Thought about expanding it and trying to turn it into a Foundry project, but upon careful reflection I don't think N'orr need anything more complex than this.

Reference Cards for the Mass Effect Genesys Setting

I have designed a deck of quick reference cards for the Mass Effect Setting by u/BluSunrize. These serve two main purposes:

  • Avoid looking up stuff in the PDF while playing
  • Have a German translation for people that do not have good English skills.

Here's how they look (some dice for scale): https://imgur.com/a/KOfB6LK

The cards are designed two-sided with one side English and the other side German. You can print them one-sided if you do not care about the German translation. The release contains one PDF per language with the card faces for that language.

The PDFs have been designed to match the requirements of the print service https://meinspiel.de, see included Readme for details about how to print them. You can message me if your print service has different requirements and depending on what changes are required, I might be able to accommodate for them. Be aware though that I am in no way a professional printer or designer and have no access to any commercial software in the field.

Concerning the content: The cards contain some general rules, like tables on spending advantages, actions and maneuvers in combat, and descriptions of item qualities, both from the core rules and the setting. They list all Biotic and Tech powers. And they list all available talents for the setting (including those from the core rules). The text has often been shortened considerably to fit the cards, but always tries to preserve all information.

I also work on a separate set of GM reference cards that will contain adversaries and maybe vehicles if there's still space. Those are not ready yet.

Many thanks to BluSunrize for creating this setting, and giving me the blessing to release this.
