My MURPG 2.0 - Discussion

[Neros]

Hello there Board

So after a looooong time, there is finally a post in the MURPG 2.0 section of the forum. Celebration!

I have been working on my own MURPG 2.0 book for my own player group for some time now, and figured I might as well share it here as well.

Current Version 1.5 drive.google.com/file/d/15yYBNKwyhzbvm5-p_zE5MlXFtLmrOGwk/view?usp=sharing

But I hope you enjoy the book and if you find any errors or have suggestions, you are more than welcome to give em.

Downloading Will have a good look...

Changes in 1.1
* Me and Microsoft word had a talk and the headers for the actions and modifiers are much prettier to look at now.
* found an error with wall-crawling (was the wrong place and cost).
* Animal senses had a price error and have been lowered (however it is more expensive than first edition since it basically negated Special Training for no cost).

Hey, do you mind if I occasionally PM you small grammatical issues in the book as I go through it?
They're not anything massively important (so far), but they're little things which annoy me and make it seem slightly less professional.

[Neros]

You are more than welcome to PM me with corretions. That was part of sharing it with every one. When sitting and working with something for so long, errors are bound to appear

Merry Christmas Everyone!! 

I've just finished v.1.2 of the guide, which fixes some rather big problems with the book itself. Me and my group have also gotten started on our new campaign, so there is allot of new thoughts and changes in the book. There are probably more that I've forgotten to mention in the log below, but once we started brainstorming, it was hard to keep up with the change log

Change Log for 1.2

Corrections

• Corrected some VERY big errors in the Table of Content (like not linking to places they should.. Bad links, bad..)
• There was some big mistakes in how Telepathy was written.

Additions

• Added some super nifty bookmarks on the side of the pdf to optimize navigation
• Added some missing actions (Healing, Inter-Dimensional Travel, Shapeshifting, Shrink, Vehcile operation, Web-slinging)
• Added the Leaper modifier (was missing)
• Added new shinny options for Leadership, Summoning and Tendril Whip,
• Added missing options to Flight, where most of them have been changed a little
• Added weapon examples for improvised objects

Changes

• Altered some small aspects of the texts so the design looks more like the original book.
• Changed Create Illusions cost. It could do much the same as both shapeshift and Invisibility but was less costly.
• Made some changes to the text for Copy Superpowers.
• Lowered the cost of Shapeshifting. Was very expensive compared to other deceptive powers and was less flexible, like illusions.
• Lowered the cost of Summon & Control animals. In my and my players opinion, it was way to costly compared to Summoning which was much more flexible and powerful. Also, there is some kind of limit on how often/powerful effect you can get depending on the surrounding wildlife.
• Changed Tendril Whip's cost to better match Telekinesis and added some new options and rules. Also removed the Weapon Modifier since weapons have been tuned down in 2.0.
• Changed Force Blast's "Charge Object" option cost, since object modifiers have been lowered greatly.
• Changed Teleportation a little. It was very open to how it could work, like teleporting someone 4 miles above the ground and letting them drop. We have changed the distance on the different ranks since we felt there should be something at 10. Also added rules for accidentally teleporting into objects.
• Tried to streamline Summoning's mechanics. We felt that it wasreally clonky and "at GM's discretion", making the player feel unsure about using it.

Been loving the up dates

[Neros]

Glad to hear it

[Dionon]

Would like to download, but the file seems to have been deleted. Also the file I had was corrupted somehow, so I can't read it anymore

[Neros]

How about that.. It was deleted.. Huh... Well, I've re-uploaded it and the link should now work.

But just a heads up, version 1.3 is soon coming out as well with some changes and a couple more addition.

[Neros]

The next version of the guide is finally out.. It is 1.3 TIME!! I hope you all will enjoy the changes

Change Log v.1.3

Design
New Stuff
* Added some images and extra text here and there to fill out some of those "awkward" spaces.

Changes
* Have been working on making the overall design of the whole guide more like the style of the books. So allot of fonts have been changed and some things have been moved around.

Core Mechanics
New Stuff
* Added some extra rules for Falling regarding thermal velocity. Many of the tougher heroes have fallen from very great heights and suffered little to no damage at all. But with how the rules currently worked, that was not possible.
* Added guidelines for using objects as weapons.

Actions
New Stuff
* Added Duplicate Self. Its functions seemed allot like the idea for Summoning, so I tried to compare them to each other to find a suitable price and mechanics.
* Added a new option to Telepahty; Reconnection.
* Added a description to Sense Mutant, encouraging to use it as a base for other sensing powers as well.
* Added Shape Shifting and made a change to its cost. It was very costly compared to Create Illusions, had more limits and allowed for less flexibility.

Changes
* Added a little text to Flight's Glide option to clarify some things.
* Changed the Leadership option Strategist's mechanic abit in an attempt to make it less clonky.
* Added a rulebox for many actions.
* Made some changes to Summoning. I change the Difficulty of breaking your Control. It was kinda based on Telepathy, but it made no sense to only use half.
* Changed Telepathy's Mental Block. If you want a "permanent" block, using the duration row for it would be simpler instead of making a extra rule for it.

Corrections
* There was an error in the pricing of Entangle. Also, in the Rules for the Action, it said "half AN", not "One half AN"

Modifiers
New Stuff
* Added the Arsenal modifier with some changes to the text and the rules since weapons have been downgraded abit. Also added some new options for it.

Changes
* Added a missing option to Phase Shift (Gaseous/Liquid/Energy Form) and also changed some of its mechanics.

Advantages/Disadvantage
New Stuff
* Added the Efficient advantage.
* Added a Power is Deadly to Use disadvantage.
* Added an additional "option" to Requires Device.
* Added the Overstrain advantage but I have altered the mechanic abit, suggesting that the time the "damage" takes to heal should be dependent on how much free time they have. Not the nature of the power
* Added the option for a more powerful Disabling advantage.

Changes
* Reworked "Allies Benifit From Power" and renamed it to Bestowment. The first version was very wonky and complicated. So I hope this is simplere, still balanced and allows for more variation.
* Rephrased Free Action abit to add some filling.
* Rewrote Only in Conjunction with “_________”, which stated the trigger could be a Modifier. But Modifiers are permanent and most of them is always active, so it wouldn't be that much of a drawback.

Corrections
* Stun Option was priced wrong and have been corrected.
* There was a spelling error with Taboo, Extreme, where the Extreme part was missing.

Challenges
New Stuff
* Noticed that Adolescent or Child was missing and it has been added.. So now people can play angsty teenagers again..
* Added Dead Broke to the list of challenges since it is in essence; a challenge.

Changes
* Made a note for Vulnerable Ward, about dumping the ward at friends or families; there should be some kind of repercussion/danger to try to "cheat" the challenge this way.

Equipment
New Stuff
* Added more weapon examples, especially some more super-duper, lasery, pew-pew weapons.. It is after all Marvel for Stan Lee's sake!!
* Added guides/rules to Customize Vehicles by spending ingame time working on them.
* Added the rules for creating Special Items and tried to clean it up abit to it was more clear on how it worked.

I've downloaded v1.3 and it still says v1.2 on the introduction page.

[Neros]

Ofcourse, of all things to be missing, it is the version of the book itself

It has now been corrected.. Thanks for noticing the error

I don't know if anyone has noticed or mentioned this yet, just wanted to point out something I noticed. On page 3 under falling, you wrote that at 90' you reach "thermal" velocity; I think you meant terminal velocity. No big, just thought you might like to know. Otherwise it looks good so far, I haven't quite finished it yet.

He might be referring to wind friction resistance upon the skin.
