This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Still a bit rough, tinkering with backgrounds and the character sheet format.

Feedback is welcome, I'd appreciate any you have.

Looks pretty familiar. But for stress, which is now in a featureless wheel, rather than in a numbered linear wheel, and the stress events being called fallout...

Any further changes but name and layout changes in this regard?
I think stress is one of the points tha needs to be improved the most, and if only to explain it better.

When I write "TDE", I mean "The Dark Eye". Wanna know more? Way more?

Yeah a few changes to stress and stress triggers. Primarily: Stress events can still occur at the 1/2 total die type. However, big events auto occur when you max the wheel (10). Also, all stress values are recorded in the Fallout "explosion" so if you have 4 stress and trigger an event you have (4) Cracked Ribs and so now you can use that to recover, or heal more clearly. Using that number as a target number for Regeneration or Healing powers.

It can also be used for accruing more stress. If you have Cracked Ribs--but an Exceptional Superhuman Toughness. You might not gain additional stress as easily from those cracked ribs (Roll if the GM feels like it might, and a success means you can shrug off it causing additional stress for that panel.) I might leave it doing extra stress anyway--but I'm not sure.  


 Also Stress triggers come in two flavors--Entirely Negative ones, and ones that can have Positive and Negative effects. The Flea has "Devoted to Bonnie Geddes (Wife)" which causes stress when he needs to meet her for dinner and can't make it in time. But also can be used to dump stress when she's in danger and he HAS to rescue her, no matter all the stress. (This might work better as an additional free roll/drive device.)



Albeit this is all tentative. Needs more play testing.
