  1. well i dont know what books you have but there is reference to "The Spineapple tree" in Monster Island book which references the Death trap damage table from the Runequest 6.book. It basically says that if evade is failed everyone within 5 meter radius takes damage equal to the difficulty of the death trap table to a random hit location also automatically taking the bash special effect plus any other special effect rolled. damage is small 1d2-1d4 medium is 1d6 - 1d8 large is 1d10 - 2d6 huge is 1d8+1d6 - 2d8 enourmous is 1d10+1d10 - 2d10. (Where small medium large etc equals the size of the explosion. On page 100 and 101 of the luther arkwright book it mentions weapon trait fragmentation. basically a fragmentation grenade radius is 2 meters, the person centered on the explosion takes full damage to all hit locations (my interpretation) and those within the radius take half damage to 1d3-1 hit locations. dont forget the weapon traits as well as special effects. thats just my 2 cents.
  2. looks great ! if there is anything i can help you with on your character sheet for example form fillable etc please let me know

  6. Conclusion from 5th game. Tiberius Shepard (Jeremy) – Captain/Pilot Serenna Saffron (Miranda) – Companion Twitch (Jacob) - Medic Alpha Zedd (Justin) - Soldier James D. Hunter (Steven) – Soldier (absent) Damon Lerchwing (Thomas) – Engineer (not able to game work) Severin Ultar (James) – Bounty Hunter When we left our band of intrepid spacefarers Tiberius, Serenna, and Alpha were looking down a long corrider at the end of which a large heavy reinforced door stood. Twitch, Mr Hunter and Severin were all on the their ship the Davenport. The hallway to the door had traps on it which the crew sprung. There were machine guns as well javelins that shot from the walls. After several attempts at making it through the hallway and Tiberius being wounded and possibly bleeding out they were out of options on what to do. Meanwhile back on the Davenport, Mr Hunter suited Du Bujacs up in a vacuum suit and took him aboard the ship. While this was happening 3 New Terran Marine Gunships dropped out of FTL and approached the Davenport. They hailed the davenport explaining that they had reason to believe a war criminal was aboard and they would stand down or be blown to bits. The crew did as was asked and was boarded by 4 marines and a lieutenant who confined them to sick bay and were questioned by the Lieutenant while 3 of the marines searched the ship. The LT told the crew they were under arrest for illegally salvaging and also a host of illegal items that were found on the ship. The handcuffs were put on and they were being ready to be transported to the marines ship when one of the marines came running in and whispered something about finding something he needed to see in the engineering bay. They were all escorted down to the engineering bay where a marine had the strange chryo unit with the small girl in it. The LT plugged his com unit into it and started reading something. He immediately unplugged it and barked some orders into his headset. Than stared at the crew. Meanwhile back on the blown up ship with the rest of the crew. Mr Hunter arrived with Du Bujacs. Comms were still jammed so they had to place their helmets to each others to talk. They told Mr Hunter about the door and that they hadnt made it there yet. Before they could explain about the machine guns and javelins he rushed off towards the door. Tiberius rushed after him to try to stop him as well as Alpha. Tiberius took a critical and dropped wounded badly within the first few steps. Serenna grabbed him and drug him out of the line of fire. Mr Hunter and Alpha made it to the end of the Hallway where Mr. hunter hacked into the security system and closed the door behind them so that Serenna could remove Tiberius suit and try to stop the bleeding. Mr Hunter than started opening the safeguards to open the vault door to get to the ore behind it. On a critical fail he opened the airlock door dumping everyone into the vacuum of space. Tiberius in a selfless act instead of trying to get his suit on shoved Serenna down and put her helmet on just in time as he started to freeze from the cold vacuum of space. Serenna than started frantically putting his suit on him. Mr Hunter cracked the last safeguard and the door opened where a dozen mercenaries sat ready behind a heavy assault cannon that opened fired on them. Mr Hunter took several serius hits while Alpha chucked a thermal gernade inside and smashed the door controls sealing the vault door between them and the mercs before the grenade went off. They than made their way with Serenna back to the Davenport carrying Tiberius and Mr Hunter. Both were seriously wounded and bleeding internally badly. They boarded just in time to see the 3 New Terran ships jump to FTL leaving them behind. Once onboard Twitch explained about what happened and about the Marines LT patching in to read the data from the cryo unit of the frozen girl. He suddenly told them he was very sorry for detaining them and ordered the rest of the marines off the ship and back onto their gunboats. No One seems to know whats going on. Tiberius and Mr Hunter are put into med bay and Du Bujacs is put into a room and locked in. All the ore is gone. Twitch gets a lucky sensor reading on a cargo ship heading towards Lugus and landing specifically at the mine. The crew rushes down to the planet taking the davenport down instead of the shuttle. Once there there are a couple dozen mercenaries heavily armed. There is a bit of a stand off before a man hails them on their comms and invites Serenna and Severin over for a Talk. He Introduces himself as Mr Kostya he works for a Mr Yoshida who currently holds the debt of Du Bujacs. He offers the crew a deal. With no violence he offers them that if he is allowed to take the ore in payment of the debts for Du Bujacs the mine and Lugus will go back to Marion Morrisey. There is a small bit of debt she will still have to pay but it is reasonable. They agree with the exception that Marion will mine the ore they found in the mine (High Density Bariantium) for them when they return. She agrees and they leave the planet just as a distress call is incoming from Brother Darius whom they had helped against pirates on the ship the Nepiteen. He asks them for help on the planet the Catholics had claimed called New Jerusalem. Alpha meanwhile gets a encrypted call from a friend who deals with illeagal stuff called Mr Crow. He tells alpha he heard about his betrayal and killing of the crew he was with. (the pirates) Mr Crow says that a lot of his compatriots are nervous about him now. Alpha asks him about a job as he is in need of some new armaments and needs the credits to purchase them. Mr Crow tells him he has a snatch and grab if he wants it but if he doesnt complete the snatch and grab Mr crow has no choise but to turn his name over to the hunters for debt collection. Alpha accepts the mission and gets the data packet. It is a easy mission he needs to kidnap and bring back to New Terran a Companion named Serenna Saffron. He confesses to the crew about his past and his new mission. The crew has a choice. Find out about the cryo girl at the coordinates on the data stick they had. Go to where Brother Darius was or to go to New terran and find out who has put a snatch and grab hit out on Serenna. They choose to go to help brother Darius. They go into cryo sleep and plan to awaken once they arrive on Jerusalem. Tiberius awakens groggy from the freeze sleep to see a familiar face standing over him holding a steaming hot cup of soy coffee. Remember smiles down at him and says “Howdy Captain”. Thats where we ended this session.
  7. here are the piloting and gunnery special effect cards for my game
  8. ill try to remember to take pictures of all the character sheets and props from when i run it at gen con. its always very busy so i forget sometimes lol.
  9. how is this it would all be form fillable multi sentance and auto formating.
  10. working on my gen con scenario props for "A Gift from Shamash" here are some of the weapons and armor
  11. @HorusArisen i dont own classic fantasy and my only experience with mythras so far has been with m-space however i did get to play classic fantasy last year at gen con. it was like old dnd on steroids. we had a ton of fun. it took some time to get the hang of its not hack n slash and i didnt have a ton of hit points in a pool to use. i think everyone at the table i was at was first time players of mythras and classic fantasy. the next day i was at a table waiting for the gm and overheard one of the players from my game of classic fantasy the other day telling his friends at the table next to me how awesome the game was. was it just the gm and his abilities? was it the classic fantasy system and the way it simulates classic dnd? or was it a combination of the 2? we may never know but i can say that that one guy was super excited about classic fantasy and was spreading the word about it. if that person who didnt know what classic fantasy was, but had bought the ticket in order to fill his time slot was that excited about it after playing it that one time what do you think the chances of your players enjoying it much like him will be?
  12. on a side note what does anyone think of monster island and M-Space. would if be compatiable?
  13. this session was extremly chaotic with lots of stuff happening simultaneously. but the mythras engine handled it surprisingly well. I think the whole barn scenario only lasted 2 hours and i had 16 ninjas, 12 deputies along with Lin and Bujac, and the Sheriff. and 6 players as well as some npcs like Remember, Babette Gidell and the Countess. Conclusion from 4th game. Tiberius Shepard (Jeremy) – Captain/Pilot Serenna Saffron (Miranda) – Companion Twitch (Jacob) - Medic Alpha Zedd (Justin) - Soldier James D. Hunter (Steven) – Soldier (absent) Damon Lerchwing (Thomas) – Engineer (not able to game work) Severin Ultar (James) – Bounty Hunter Where we left it last game Tiberius, Serenna and Severin were all at the mining colonies barn dance. While Alpha, Twitch, and Hunter was rescuing Remember. A man had come up and asked Serenna for a dance, one of the miners named, Gidel whose wife the players had rescued earlier named Babette. Severin was keeping an eye on Du Bujacs and Serenna. Tiberius was wondering around. A crowd started to gather around a new arrival a young very attractive oriental woman whom Tiberius felt me needed to get to know better. He made his way through the crowd and introduced himself and she did not but danced with him anyway. During this Du Bujac must have seen Gidel dancing with Serenna because he grabbed the mic, interupting the music and dance to explain to the miners why its important to pay your taxes or else. Alpha tried unsuccessfully to get ahold of captain Tiberius to find out what to do with Remember. They decided to go to the barn. They made it there but could not pick up the barn or the dance on any of their sensers. They made visual confirmation of the dance but sensors and comms were still dead. Alpha warned that something was going down because there was only one reason why the comms and sensors had failed. Sensor Jamming and Comms Jamming. Du Bujac had deputies bring out a young woman in a dress, and take her to the town memorial in fron of the barn. He then explained how Babette had been doing laundry out of her house but had not paid taxes on it. The deputies ripped her dress open on her back and held her down while Du Bujac pulled out a whip and started disciplining her for withholding taxes. Gidell ran forward only to be beatdown and hel while he watched as Du Bujac whipped his wife. Serenna ran forward to try to interced on Babettes behalf. Okay so a lot happens all at once now which was very confusing. Severin notices the woman that Tiberius is dancing with. She is a skilled bounty hunter that works primarily for the Tongs. He starts that way when the whipping starts and has to change course to try to protect Serenna but he sends the Captain not knowing that comms dont work. Black Clad men start to sneak into the barn. The shuttle the rest the crew is on sees this and tries to intercede. They though about using a thermite charge until I explained it was a small nuclear device that would take out the barn. The woman Lin that is dancing with Tiberius uses this chance to lean in and kiss him and prick him with a small device to knock him out. The deputies start to confront miners and Severin as he pulls his shotgun out. The Ninjas attack. That was round one. Lots of action the crew acts heroically, Severin almost get his leg cut off but still manages to take out a couple of the black clad men (my crew used the word ninjas, but I told them there are no such thing as ninjas or that they have heard of.)The captain (Tiberius) gets kidnapped and shuttled off the ship. Serenna defends Babette and during the chaos frees her and confronts Du Bujac and knocks him out. The crew from the shuttle battle deputies and ninjas (there you happy I said it Ninjas). After the battle they are able to track the shuttle to a ship in orbit on the other side of the moon they are on. It's called the Zhan Che. Tiberius wakes up to find himself being beaten by 2 men who say they are taking him back to the Wah Ching Tong, which is the tong that he stole the ship from during the war. He is able to free himself and incapacitate 2 guards that he over hears them talking about being boarded by another ship. The Zhan Che points all its arsenal and missiles at the davenport when all of the sudden there is an explosion and all the ships power goes out as well as the ship venting to space. The other ship, The Davenport, Tiberius ship, has decided to attempt to board the ship and rescue the captain. Alpha and Serenna cut through a place in the hull and enter the now powerless ship. They eventually make their way to the engineering bay where they find that Tiberius had locked himself in the room self destructed a couple of missiles to incapacitate the ship and was waiting for them. His words before we ended the session. “I told you I had a plan!” Thats where we ended this session.
  14. so anyone run this care to share their thoughts or suggestions? mayby a briefing about how it went? i know someone out there ran it. yes that right i am talking to you (/em points out the screen to you)
  15. just waiting for approval now. i always slot my games for 1 less person than i can run it for because inevitably someone will bring a friend in hopes of a open seat and i hate saying no.
  16. yes gencon always has wednesday games usually held at union station they cost 0$
  17. quick question, i am preparing to run this for my group than for a local con and was wondering. does it matter what characters the players pick? I thought i had read somewhere, but cant find it now, that the players should pick a crew member of the ship and than also pick a marine. also is there any advice anyone wants to share that has run the scenario. thanks in advance
  18. submitted it for 5pm wednesday, hopefully thats a good time and ill get a full table it would be nice to help spread the Mythras love
  19. i believe there is only you running mythras this year however some one on the G+ forum said they had submitted a event and awaited approval and i am probably submitting "A Gift from Shamash" to run there so mayby there are more in the que just havent been submitted yet
  20. @belgath got into one of your games. how was everyone else's registration for gen con?
  21. i am running m-space as well with my group. we started off without hit locations and it went fine. the following 2 games we ran with hit locations and i am finding my group is a totally different play style with the hit locations versus the no hit locations. after the first player lost an arm on 1 shot they are way more cautious about firefights now. it isnt about cutting down the hit points now. its about being more strategical. you might try it just for a game and see how it works for you and your group. as far as simplicity every game its gets quicker and more fast paced than the last. either way good luck with whatever you decide. also for me i modified the hit location rule and just reversed the to hit die to see wher the hit locations would be. 01-15 Head 16-30 Right Arm 31-45 Left Arm 46-70 Chest 71-80 Abdomen 81-90 Right Leg 91-100 Left leg
  22. Conclusion from 3rd game. Tiberius Shepard (Jeremy) – Captain/Pilot Serenna Saffron (Miranda) – Companion Twitch (Jacob) - Medic Alpha Zedd (Justin) - Soldier James D. Hunter (Steven) - Soldier Damon Lerchwing (Thomas) – Engineer (not able to game work) Severin Ultar (James) – Bounty Hunter So after last session our heroes decided it was time to get some answers from Marion, with the exception of Serenna they headed to the transport shuttle to go off planet and head to the Davenport. They walked into the shuttle to find Violet sitting there fingering some of their goods thye had with them but hadnt taken with them on their persons. Some highly illegal things such as security jammers Sensor jammers etc. Violet, the deputy they met earlier told them she was taking them in for being in possession of said items. Needless to say Tiberius and Mr Hunter put up a fight. Deputies came up behind them (failed perception roles it was a trap) and stunned them. They were taken to the judge who happened to be the sheriff who sentenced them to hard work in the mines for 30 days. Meanwhile Serenna accompanied Du Bujacs back to his manner house where she was introduced to Countess Durentia, a visiting dignitary from Terran. She also found that the 3rd floor was off limits so of course she wandered around up there and met remember who is being held captive by Du Bujacs. Turns out she is Grady Hopkins daughter and she is being held there to make sure Grady doesnt have second thoughts about making everyone work hard and getting the ore out in time regardless of safety concerns. She also saw Du Bujacs talking privately to a middle ages asian man with glasses and a suit. She couldnt tell what they were talking about just that Du bujacs seemed nervous and afraid when he talked to him. Du bujacs took Serenna to get a dress from town she noticed a lot of the townsfolk had the look of being downtrodden and beaten. They were afraid of looking at Du Bujacs and the deputies. At the Mine the group was introduced to the Billy Gander a young boy who took them to the mine shaft tunnel they would be working. He warned them that there was undercover miners here and to be careful of what they said. With that he left. The group decided tthey were getting out one way or another and started to make plans. The brothers Bolo and Cort which the players had met at the saloon were in their tunnel and introduced themselves again. There was a rumble and than a boom as the mine collapsed. Extremly good roleplaying as the group cleared rubble and tried to get trapped miners out. Eventually with the help of Bolo and Cort they traversed deep into the kine to find old Tom and Grady trapped under some rubble. The medic rushed to their aid but after running through a gas pocket went unconcious. They eventually got him out as well as Grady and Tom. Severin found a lrge vein of some sort of ore which turned out to be High Density Bariantium which is used to make fuel pellets for FTL drives. They started out of the mine with Tom and Grady in tow. Serenna juts getting back from shopping for a dress with Du Bujacs when he gets a communication of trouble at the mine. He rushes off but Serenna accompanies him. They arrive at the mine to find miners laying everywhere wounded. Du bujacs finds the Sheriff anf demands him to get the lazy miners back to work they are only faking their injuries to get out of the work they have been assigned. Serenna horrified by what she sees attempts to help the wounded with her limited skills and winds up killing a few miners. With tears in her eyes she does what she can and comforts and stabilizes some. She than sees her companions from the ship and asks Du Bujacs what happened and why they were held captive in the mine. Some good roleplaying and Du Bujacs agrees it was an accident and releases them and gives them back their gear but warns them they should probably leave the moon. Grady and Serenna accompanies them back to the shuttle and off the moon to their ship. A tearful reunion with Marion and Grady. She admits to being framed for murdering the old sheriff who was Du Bujacs Grandfather. She admits to not being truthful about her reasons for wanting to ruin Du Bujacs and the group decides to help anyway. Grady tells them Du Bujacs has his daughter and thye need to help him free her she has been in communication with him and has info of the ore and its shipment. The players device a plan to get remember out. Serenna Tiberius and Severin head to the dance to keep Du Bujacs busy while Alpha Twitch and Mr Hunter fly a shuttle rigged with a holographic projector to hide the ship and modified engines to reduce the noise to rescue Remember. They succeed and Remember tells them the ore is off planet already on a ship called the Zhan Che. The ore is in a Vault on the ship that takes a special key that Du Bujacs keeps on him at all times. It also requires a dna sample, voice recognition, and a retinal scan to open. Thats where we ended this session. We got to try out the extended conflict rules that Clarence uses in M-Space. Ill admit i didnt understand them at first but with Clarence help i believe i have a better understanding of them now. They worked well. This session was hard because i had the group split into 2 groups through the whole game. It was extremly hard to keep both serenna and the rest of the group occupied and give them all their share of the spotlight during play. not sure what to do about it as the companion seems to not quite fit in with the rest of the group yet. hopefully after a few more sessions everyones characters will start to mesh and start to fit properly. im actually modifing a scenario from the firefly rpg game for this so that may be why its harder to get all the characters together even though some of them are so different. hopefully if the group decides to stay with M-Space the next story that continues after this which ill create from scratch ill be able to create themes that will incorporate all the group instead of only 3 or 4 at a time. hope you enjoyed reading my game session recap and hopefully i didnt bore you to much.
  23. thats cool i usually go all 4 days for me its a 10 minute walk and im at the convention center. if you are in town you should try the kentucky fried gamers events on wednesday as well
  24. i found 4 instances for Luther Arkwright? anyone running anything and it just isnt shown up yet? also who all from here will be there?
