If UFOs sighting in 2023 were true in Trinity Continuum - What gameline alien race would it be?

In real world, we have flooding with reports confirming UFOs - NASA and Pentagon are sweating over them lately...

More changes…

Defense

A character’s Defense sets the difficulty of the attacker’s roll. A character’s starting Defense against an incoming attack is always 1. When a character is attacked, she may take a defensive action using Stamina (no Skill is added). The difficulty of a defensive action is 0 unless otherwise noted. Each hit garnered from a defensive action can be used to purchase Defense Tricks. After she sets her Defense, the attacker rolls for their attack action.

A character may want to spend her action in the round to take a full Defense. To do...

Also, you could us Earth's Hackers as Mages on general - particulary Wizards.

If you can go out of D&D previous mechanics - you can use simply Trinity Core with particular Origin and Role Paths as Earth part of the game.

Preparing topic for May 30th premiere of new rules on They Came From the RPG Anthology Kickstarter. I plan to look over major changes between original Storypath ( SP 1.0 from now on ) and SP Ultra rules.

Quotes from They Came From the RPG Anthology - Preview 1. On May 30th we will have whole SP Ultra Appendix previewed! 😎

Appendix: Storypath Ultra
For those who wish to upgrade their They Came From games to the Storypath Ultra system, this is the chapter for you. The appendix contains the full Storypath Ultra system adapted for They Came From, including new terms, updated systems, and more. Though the chapters in this book look to the quick play system for their basis, Storypath Ultra is easy to adopt should you wish to do so.
To which rules do you refer?

Do not have Tome of Pentacle, so I do not know what this Lacunae in book. Also, what 'Bottleneck situation' book mention there? I write only as long MtAw fan, with 2E corebook at hand. 😉



Not a problem, just more dedication needed in pursuit of knowledge. Does not Strengthen Temporal Sympathy spell exists in like Time 2 on MtAw 2E? 🤔 Starting, most weakest Sympathy would simply by 'I heard this story about events four thousand years ago'. You made proper Temporal Sympathy ritual casting, going overboard with Potency - and BAM! - you can view Time events from prehistory,...

For me, it's a bit problematic. Did not Time Arcanum existed before printing press? Time mages could literally pierce any place/time that is not Ruins of Time Before itself... 🤔...

I thinking about running 'small town pulpy drama', in kinds of True Blood, Twin Peaks or Riverdale TV series. Idea would be Players Characters start mortal - and then chaos ensures. Probably not more than few, dozen maybe of game sessions.

Question is how many Supernatural types to let run in team like this? One, two? Six? Dozen? 'Anything goes'? 😲 I would assume each character is ONLY ONE of their type in area. So one vampire, one werewolf, one Changeling, etc.

Was thinking 'maybe a vampire and werewolf'? Maybe 'add lesser templates - like Second Sight ones - mystic,...

Relation of first Underworld and Abyss to Ocean image in Sundered World Dark Era, maybe? 🤔...

I was thinking from the Young Indy TV series he literally has Polyglot Edge ( see Adventure, Aether or TC Player's Guide for it ) and high dots of Humanties and Culture, simple as that. There is nothing supernatural about character on that - maybe a bit more Talent-like 'extraordinary'. ( For more Language takes discussion in Trinity mechanics, we have this topic. )...
