MM Necros being able to "raise dead enemies" as temp pets while in a mission. Just a variation of Soul Extraction, coupled with something like Dark Extraction.

Well, throughout Chimera has been ranting about G's cloning labs, so you finally met them. Couple of questions: How was the base on fire mission? And the plant clues one? I'm wondering if I should retitle them like the Dark Deeds missions, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3? What do you think?

The ending was disappointing? Well...that's because the finale ending is in "The House of Gaunt Saints." And the Crystal is the one you recovered in "Bridge of Forever".

I can get a decent team with an Ocean's 11 call out. We're going to rob 9 banks across Paragon, come get your share (share includes Invader Accolade = Task Force Commander). Or you could just hang out with Citadel,

How about a health monitoring mechanic that ports you to a prison ward in the TF when your health drops below say 35% rather than when you die? Just a further suggestion to add to the plethora offered earlier. Now, you're in jail! But you haven't died so you're still on low health AND your team is down a person!

I'm just going to leave this here (like I have in some other places) because AFAICS it is entirely doable and answers some of the raised points. Yes, it says tip-like missions, frankly it could be more, less, whatever.

Ah, there's the rub. Farming IS part of playing the game, indeed to some, and why not, farming is their game. But, farming does not equal playing "the game". Oh well. Different strokes I suppose.

That's how I got through Ghoul infested tunnels in Praetoria! Invis (Infiltration now)+ Confuse, tag and wait. Did I get less XP? Probably. Did I get eaten by ghouls? NOPE.

Well, @Hew mentioned PEATs, so Praetorian Epic ATs as a possibility. And I pondered simply a precursor/alternate thing, since Praetoria had a humans spliced with predator DNA thing going on, which is where Bobcat and I assume Prime8 come from. A whole AT of, for want of a better description, Unnatural Origins. Edit. I think I was writing that while you were posting, so it was meant to be after @Hew's post.

Even Pre-EATS. Like Bobcat and Prime8, souped up hybrids!

A bit like ammo changing?

Mercs with artillery as a Nova. Call it in on my position! But Ma'am! Do it! Cue bombing run from something!

The model kinda exists, we just need the parts in the CC. If you visit Studio 55 in Imperial City and go upstairs you'll see an NPC called Prime8.

The in -game Imperial Power arc ends at #5.

Ah yes! Forgot about him!

And since we're looking at Bridge of Forever and it's sequels, I got this today. Sometimes when you've had a crappy day a little thing can cheer you up 🙂 (I messaged the player because I was unsure as to whether or not they had missed the first two parts and inadvertently spoilered things for themselves, but they had just waited to comment until the end.)

I won't have a WORD said against the Galaxy Tutorial. Blue Spectrum is a true hero, damn it! (Also, Shivan shards causing time fractures because there's Sister Psyche and yet...said this before...when I get of the chopper I find she's been dead for AGES. Penny who now?) Hmm. Shivan shards causing time fractures could be meta'd to hand wave away the "gap".

If it could be scaled lower perhaps? It and Graves? So that you do it when you would actually be learning this stuff? OR....Both have the "tutorial" bits cut out of them and have them as just arcs at that level.

This trilogy is very much Gold side niche, designed to give Praetorian players at least a bit more time Gold side before they either leave for Primal or head on to First Ward. The three arcs are labelled as a continuation of the Power storyline in pre War Praetoria. Transmuter is indeed an Imperial City contact. I'm not sure about the mention of Faultline. Mr. G appears post War in St. Martial, with a rather cool arc. Provost Marchand has a parallel arc to Mr. G's post War one, set in Brickstown. And Praetor White = Marauder. Here's a list of NPCs that might help: And you were supposed to meet this person: And this guy gets a mention too. And Bridge of Forever even has a little Easter Egg in the form of a "Post Credits" scene in the final mission. If you complete and DON'T leave but go exploring you run into someone 🙂

It's not missing in all of them though. I know it's definitely missing in Kings for instance.

The more I read this, the more interested I get. Tempted!

It happens!

Currently reading my way through Aberrant in order to run it. Ran the OG version 20 years ago, bloody hell. Loved it.

Following a recent chat I had with Faultline (on other stuff), it was revealed tangentially that base raids are probably not ever coming back because of the nature of current SGs/Bases. HC's SG/bases allows Hero/Villain/Rogue/Vig/Loyalist/Resistance members to both be part of the same SG(VG or whatever a Gold version is called) and be in a base at the same time. But while on the same SG a hero and villain cannot team up in there - so no doing ouro missions together via the crystal, off to Ouroborous itself for that. Allowing them to team would involve a rewrite it seems of the old base raid code, which was janky as hell to start with, and could rewire base items as targets for members of the SG, never mind an actual base raid. I think I'm remembering all that correctly, it's late and I haven't slept.

I was lucky enough to be in a dedicated RPG/Larp/Game society in college.
