Title: Msh/faserip
Post by: Silverlion on July 17, 2013, 09:52:00 AM
So I'm tinkering with doing a game inspired by  MSH (FASERIP) for a gonzo post-apocalyptic setting.
I need a bit of linguistic tomfoolery.

I can get FAMEWIP or FASTWIP (Fisticuffs, Agility, Strength/Might, Willpower, Intellect, and Perception)

However with some tweaking I can get MASTER, but I need something for the Intuition replacement. I was thinking of Senses (MASTERS) but if I could come up with a Y based attribute, Mastery would be an awesome game trait line. Very hard to do and since this is a serious simulacra, I'd like it to be workable and not drawing back to closely to its ancestor/inspiration.

Any ideas?

Sagacity
Sensitivity

...tough to think of a Y word.  You might have to find some nifty non-English word to make it work?

EDIT: wait, I guess you're not just looking for a sub for Intuition?

Yearning (e.g. for adventure)
Yore (knowledge about things prior to the apocalypse)

Youth (some kind of age mechanic)
You (either a soul type stat or player generated thing)
Yonkers (how crazy/badass someone might be)

I love Gamma World, but I want to do something with magic in it. Science, Sorcery, and Strength of Will.

Yen - longing, yearning, motivation
Yantra - geometrical duagram used as a meditation aid
Yarl - wail, howl
Yeasty - full of restless energy or creativity
Yerk - to bind (an appropriate term for magic)
Yomp- to carry heavy equipment over difficult terrain

Ybya - you bet your ass

Yin Yang. Acts like a humanity score. When good (Doing good act, or what have you) yang it goes positive, when you make negative actions it goes yin, negative. Besides being a barometer of the humanity. It could also be used to provide bonuses or negatives to interaction with people. Obviously good people react better to yang, and evil responds better to yin. Maybe even have the stat go negative. Say your at only TY for Yin Yang. Then you do some thing really bad and lose two levels. Takes you to zero. then you do something else evil take you to -FB. Just some thoughts
