Jun 4	comment	Cortex rules: how to handle complications No, that's separate too. The question is talking about the type that show up in Smallville (in that case called stress). Cortex Plus is pretty liberal in terms of renaming things, so in talking about the question specifically, Leverage doesn't have anything that matches it.
Jun 1	comment	After Essentials, what material do I need? You wouldn't need to bring a laptop to the table, you could just do everything on DDI for prep and print out what you need for the game.
Jun 1	comment	Cortex rules: how to handle complications Not really, a minus die doesn't fit with the roll & keep system that Cortex uses, and if you have it up at around -d10 or something like that, you could be turning up with a total negative result even without otherwise rolling 1s.
May 31	comment	Cortex rules: how to handle complications I meant in the sense of acquiring a dX complication. It's just something that gets narrated in later.
May 27	comment	What kind of rulings predated ability or skill checks in old school D&D? nope, google's no better
May 26	comment	What kind of rulings predated ability or skill checks in old school D&D? RPG.net disabled searching over a year ago, it would take ages for me to find. If I know the thread title I can do a site search on bing to pull stuff up, but if I'm doing a search for a username it's pointless as it doesn't seem to be indexed on any of the search engines.
May 26	comment	How to model an absolute condition in Fate? @Extrakun - I think that would make sense, I actually wasn't sure how to handle negative ones, but that should work. @Jadasc - I don't have the time to look through everything right now, sorry. I'll update my answer if I find it.
May 23	comment	Are there any 4E Mega-Dungeons out there? There's much less third party support for 4e, if you don't see it listed on WotC's site, it probably doesn't exist.
May 20	comment	Is there a tool to make custom character sheets? The reason I like ClarisWorks is that it's so simple. It's not powerful, but there wasn't anything like layers to work with, so whatever tool I was using it was like ink/graphite on paper. It was easy to understand. I'm gonna have to look into this Windows version.
May 19	comment	How many people does it take to steal a Star Destroyer? Good question, I think looking at a Star Wars technical manual might be enlightening. See how it describes the Star Destroyer in more detail. It might be that without maintenance it would just stop flying after a while, or that steering would be hard, or perhaps going into hyperspace would be highly dangerous.
May 17	comment	How is DriveThruRPG's Print on Demand Quality? Do you have any idea if they have a different printer outside the US?
May 17	comment	Which skills can be used for a Monster Knowledge Check when multiple keywords are involved? I think this makes the most sense. You know different things based on different skills. It also allows the DM to spread it out over a couple party members, depending on who has the highest check for each skill.
May 16	comment	How is DriveThruRPG's Print on Demand Quality? Just asking as a buyer.
May 16	comment	From Serenity through Battlestar Galactica to the Stand-Alone Rules for Cortex, what has been changed? It's not different enough to be interesting. Only the Cortex Plus games actually had something mechanically noteworthy.
May 16	comment	From Serenity through Battlestar Galactica to the Stand-Alone Rules for Cortex, what has been changed? Would probably help things. Supernatural is also in that same class of regular Cortex.
May 16	comment	From Serenity through Battlestar Galactica to the Stand-Alone Rules for Cortex, what has been changed? Relationship is only a factor in Smallville, not Leverage.
May 13	comment	1 GM and 1 Player games and game systems? Beast Hunters didn't work out for me either.
Apr 29	comment	Suggestions for decreasing metagaming and increasing player immersion? Expecting people not to metagame is pointless. What you need to do is direct metagaming to helping the game experience you want, rather than hindering it.
Apr 28	comment	Suggestions for decreasing metagaming and increasing player immersion? If everyone does it, you benefit from other people acting in character.
Apr 28	comment	Suggestions for decreasing metagaming and increasing player immersion? Getting in character without being influenced by unrealistic XP rewards is immersive roleplaying
