RosenMcStern Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Oswald’s Razor When selecting among competing explanations for any event, choose the conspiracy theory. Mr. Joel, Cats of Catthulhu Welcome to the real world. The world where what you read in the Deep Internet is true. Where Princess Yasmine von Hohenstaufen is the rightful heiress to the Holy Roman Emperor. Where Project Apollo did not really reach the Moon because “they” would not allow it. Where the Monna Lisa in the Louvre is a copy. Where Paul McCartney died in 1969 and was replaced by a look-alike. Where heroes do not die, they just go to sleep in preparation for the world’s direst hour. In this game, the player characters are these sleeping heroes, ready to face a threat from beyond the stars. The Conspiracy Theory is a primer for Revolution D100, designed to help players try its mechanics without reading all the rules. It focuses primarily on Advanced Combat, which is the part of the rules that most readers find intimidating. Groups already familiar with Rd100 conflicts will find hooks to enrich the adventure with non-violent conflicts, but the main focus of the primer remains combat, both with firearms and with classic hand weapons like swords and axes. By guiding the group through a series of encounters that introduce new rules gradually, the primer will let you try most features of Revolution D100 one morsel at a time, by playing a selected subset of options rather than studying all the options available. It is also meant to showcase how effective Revolution D100 is in handling cross-genre contamination. The adventure includes six pre-generated characters, in order to let you sit down and play it with minimal preparation. Most players will find these heroes "interesting". The primer can be used stand-alone as it includes a summary of all rules used, but does not include character generation, and as such it is not designed to be a playable game in itself: you already have the SRD for this. The draft version of the primer will be ready within this week. Please contact me to receive a playtest copy. The purpose of this early release is playing the scenario, not just reading it, so please apply only if you wish to give it a try in the near future. The scenario can be completed in one or two evenings. 2 Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pansophy Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 This seems to be a good intorduction to RD100! Very intriguing! Then I can have a look if my Advanced Combat Quick Reference Sheet is correct and I got everything right, before I upload it and confuse everybody with my rules misconceptions ... errr ... conspiracies.

RosenMcStern Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 The playtest version is ready. Please contact me if you wish a copy to run the scenario. I will run a playtest in ITALIAN on Oct 10th via Fantasy Grounds, possibly followed by another round in English. Watch out on the FG site.

Zit Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I noticed that you're mentioning Exertion Points at the beginning but still Life Points at the end (and Strike Ranks everywhere). Time to update it ? Quote Wind on the Steppes, role playing among the steppe Nomads. The running campaign and the blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
