Stray Cat Strut TTRPG - Project Parabellum Update One!
Added 2025-03-20 17:11:31 +0000 UTCI decided to do weekly updates on this project, mostly for the sake of accountability and to keep people posted, but also to gauge interest in the system and see what people think. I'll be running a Session -1 on Saturday on the Discord as well!
Anyway! Here's Parabellum Ver 0.06!
Formatting is a mess, and there's a TON of unfinished stuff. Only one catalogue is in, and it's incomplete, and I still haven't added a basic gear system, any sort of combat system, no glossaries exist, and we're missing the entirety of the 'Monster Manual' bit.
Yay?
But hey, it's not that bad for under a week's work, I think!

hmm, was thinking about it. I might make it so that each model has three 'tiers' within them? Like... Juvenile, Adolescent, Adult? Maybe elder as a bonus, fourth tier to serve as a mini-boss? Each rank up can come with a boost to their AC, damage numbers, and so on!

2025-03-22 10:39:33 +0000 UTCReading through, I saw maybe 3 typos. It's a good system framework. I like the idea of players adding keywords to gear. That fixes some of the issues I was having when theorycrafting my own system for it. Are there plans for the escalation with the Antithesis? I mean, as Models get higher numbers, small arms fire gets shrugged off and more expensive weapons need used. Will a Tier 2 handgun bypass some of that? Or just deal more damage and have more keyword slots?

2025-03-20 19:28:59 +0000 UTCOh I LIKE this... I wonder if I can rope my gaming group into trying it when it's done. Of course, I'd have to introduce them to the books, but that's not exactly a negative...

2025-03-20 19:26:37 +0000 UTCI... could use some help, lol! There's a lot of this that's busy-work. Coming up with gear and ideas for a catalogue is easy. Heck, I used some AI stuff to fill out a list of incrementally rising dice-values, so that things grow in a nice curve. But taking all that information and formatting it in Word? Absolute pain in the butt. Mostly because it takes a long time. Once I have one of every major 'thing' completed, I think it'll be easier. Then I can just copy a Catalogue over, delete all the tables and bits, and finally replace it all with new info. The formatting will be done. Still, it's time-consuming.

2025-03-20 18:49:34 +0000 UTCNeat! Obviously a work in progress but it's good to see you're keeping busy in the I assume 1-2 minutes a day you're not writing one of your ten million ongoing stories or sleeping. ;)
