Man..... I am never moving home again. Yesterday sucked!
But we are in our lovely new home now and it was great to wake up to birds singing instead of traffic and kids arguing :)
That's cool C, I know Fiendish has been really busy that past few days too so she will be making her first post before long hopefully and we can start getting the ball rolling in earnest.
Concussion strikes me as visually similar to the more modern take on Rogue from the X-men
That's quite a good comparison to their clothing styles :)
I am likely to change the whole 'hooded white robe' thing as it was a 'quick grab' whilst I tried to think of something to give Midnight some concealment from everyday eyes, but on second thought I think it's likely more visually striking than intended and would draw more attention not less!
Currently hunting for some inspiration that is 'flattering to the female form' but not 'stripperiffic'!
Hey guys, I started a new job today that involves quite a long commute every day that I'm really not used to. So my posting may drop a little as I work out my new routine.
I'm hoping it won't significantly impact on my games but just thought I'd give you the heads up.

My first thought was Mystique but she always did wear pretty revealing costumes. Can't see that skimpy white number stopping any bullets!
Hi all :)
I'm at a conference in Auckland this week so posting may be slower than usual, I will do my best!
Back in business at the weekend though :)
Right, back from Auckland and getting caught up :)
Ok my laptop is actually dead now. Hopefully a new hard drive tomorrow will fix it though. If it doesn't I'll have to see what I can do in the way of maps.
I'll keep you posted
Apologies for the delay. Laptop is still dead and repairs are ongoing.
Sigh. So after a brief respite, my laptop has finally given up the ghost. So please bare with me whilst I try to sort out an alternative :)
Ah, I got fame confused with resource points. I was wondering how being known in the public eye was going to help us procure better equipment.
Interesting, so there is an element of keeping a good public persona.
Remind me to put some Fame stuff here if i forget to do it this weekend
Fame represents how the general public perceives you, whether positively or negatively. This perception precedes you, speaking on your behalf when you are absent and determining how you can expect to be treated by those who have heard of you.
You gain Fame when word of your deeds spreads. If you are able to establish a strong or noteworthy reputation, you may be extolled for your actions and afforded resources beyond those obtainable by lesser-known individuals. Similarly, you can use your reputation to influence people socially, politically, and financially.
You begin play with a Fame equal to your character level + your Charisma modifier. Your Fame ranges from 0 to 100. Through the course of the campaign, your words and deeds help you build a reputation. Though a hero performs many deeds, not all are significant enough to warrant a change in Fame and this is left to the GM’s discretion.
There are different levels of Fame that you can achieve and at each level different rewards become available and can be purchased with Resource Points.
So you can either use your resource points to buy gear or for the sometimes less tangible benefits that Fame Rewards offer.
For example - at Fame level 1, you can spend 1 Resource Point to gain Heroes' Luck - You gain a +4 luck bonus on a single skill check. You must use this award before you attempt the check in question. This bonus needs to be used before you reach the next Fame level (which would be 10)
Full details can be found here.
Please ask any questions if that is not clear and please remember to track your Fame levels individually somewhere on your stat sheet.
I might have missed it in the players guide, but does everyone have techcraft and knowledge meta as class skills?
-Posted with Wayfinder
Yes.
But the usual rules apply where you cannot make a check on something with a DC higher than 10 unless you have a rank in it.
I have meta... But not local as i'm playing off him being new to the area. In later levels I will be maxing both out.
I assume it will be the same for most Concussion :P So no problem.
So I get that supers and aliens are now a certainty for the general population, but would tribes or gangs of aliens still shock people? Are they relatively out in the open?
-Posted with Wayfinder
It's only been about 4 years since they started arriving.
So they are generally part of society but still pretty unusual. Probably accounting for about 10% of society.
You'd still get people pointing etc when they pass by and it would be pretty uncommon - but not completely unheard of - to see an alien working as a barrister in Starbucks or something.
........
As an aside, the Accords that sought to register superheroes failed largely due to the actions of captain america but also because a lot of government resources are dedicated to registering, vetting and monitoring these alien entities.
There are also going to be camps and areas segregated for certain races in some states/other countries - think District 9
Have a fantastic Christmas everyone!
Merry Winterbration!
Was trying for an alien-sounding holiday, YMMV as to how effective that was ;p
Happy New Year from New Zealand!
May 2017 treat you better than 2016 did :)
Blows my mind. You're posting from the future :/
Happy new year everyone!
Happy New year!
I'll be traveling for the next two weeks. I should be able to post daily from the hotel with few distractions, but just a heads up if you don't hear from me.
Hey Concussion, would you mind at some point updating your statline beneath your profile name? I find it really useful to refer to :)
Thanks!
Happy Inauguration Day my American friends!
Everyone may
You also gain (equivalent to 375gp) and
These are an abstract that can represent anything from earnings from a business or job held by the heroes when they are not fighting crime, to personal wealth, connections to the black market underworld, government backing or any number of other things.
Each RP is generally valued to the equivalent of 375gp although heroes may petition the GM to increase that value in certain circumstances. For example, a White E-pick (an item from the PF Technology Guide that grants a +2 competence bonus on Disable Device checks against electronic devices) costs 400gp. If a hero wished to acquire this but only had one RP to spend, it would be at the GM’s discretion to allow it or not and the GM may call for additional checks or roleplay in order to obtain it.
Resource points can also be used to buy other boons that are dependant on Fame.
For example, at Fame 1, as a one-user ability, you could obtain;
Hero's Luck (1 RP): You gain a +4 luck bonus on a single skill check. You must use this award before you attempt the check in question.
Also, in almost all my games I take the opportunity at this juncture to sound out my players on a number of things;
-How are you enjoying the game so far? (or maybe that should be are you enjoying it at all!)
-What's working well?
-What could be done better? (the actual plot of this game hasn't really started yet although there will be the first clues to it in Dragon's Lair). These first few scenes have been around grounding the game in the world and introducing you to eachother as well as a bit of an extended playtest of your final characters).
-And finally if there is anything you would like to change about your character - class, stats, feats, spell choices, archetypes etc then please feel free to do so as part of your level up process
Thanks!
Traveling tomorrow, so I'll be out of pocket.
I do want to say that I'm enjoying the game. The liberal reskinning is funand I'm eager to see what you have in store for us.

C i was wondering whether the songhealer archetype might interest you?
PFS style. I always think thats better
With saves, am I right in thinking you take the best progression from either class upon levelling.
So for bard you would normally get +1 ref and +1 will and for oracle you would get +1 will.
So im just not sure where your +1 fort from?
