I'd be happy to turn my game design cap towards this project again. I've been needing something to get back into the swing of things.

Oh, fuck yes, I remember this. I was always interested, but never had a chance to check it out.

Tell you what, my uni's RPG club is having a con in a few days. Pitch me a quick oneshot I could do for it using this system.

>>17508161
I'm always ready for more help, or at least people ready to keep me in gear. I'm pretty terrible at keeping at it if left to my own devices.

Plus, there are a few other loose ends that still need fixing; There's no designed character sheet, no real art other than that ripped straight out of JSRF or air gear (though I may be able to convince someone I know for a cover)

>>17508166
A gang of sewer-dwelling scumbags called The Big Nasties have kidnapped one of the party member's girlfriends and are keeping her hostage! Are you bad enough dudes to take up basball bats and enter the underground obstacle course to save her?

>>17508189
VeloCITY is an RPG I've made with massive fluff-help from /tg/ brainstorming ideas for flavor. The system itself is designed to be seperated from the fluff, and generally simulate any sort of explosive physical action you can jam into it. The way I'm trying to make the routes system work is anywhere from races to walking the ring in boxing to basketball, football, boufbowl, buggy ball- though the focus is generally going to be on racing with personal-scale vehicles like bikes, rollerblades, skateboards, and free-running. Plus all of the chase scenes and urban chaos that come with it.

>>17508233
Er, am making, rather! The IRC channel on Rizon has also been helping me out.

The wind in your hair! Fuck year!

I could not be more excited to hear that you're still working on this. I have been waiting to run your game since the very first thread.

>rolling around at the speed of sound
Got places to go, gotta follow the rainbow?

rolled 70 = 70

Will there be equipment like this? Snowboarding on concrete?

>>17508242
Yeah, turns out my first-thread estimate of 'about a week' was more than a little off, eh?
Entirely my fault, real life and internet distractions have torn me from it far too often, in addition to crash complications.

I'm more focused on it now, though, I'm still editting the doc as I type this.
>>17508269
Ya damn right.

Also, does anyone have that one picture someone drew of a Black Rose saved?

>>17508282
Goddamn.

I'm aiming to make gear broadly modular across all types so that tinkerer types can change shit to be pretty much whatever they want, so, that could exist pretty easily.

wingbump for getting shit done.

Nothing Man, you said you wanted to work on perks. Explain the idea to us as you envision it. What kind of things were you looking to get from the idea and how will they add to the game?

Let's get some back and forth going.

Frontpage BAMP

What? This project lives? Bumping this shit.

I have a folder of random VeloCITY stuff.

Not sure how old it is.

It has these docs -

- Businesses
- Famous Faces
- Gangs of Note
- Radio Stations
- Tech & Gear
- Zones
- Writefaggotry

And a dozen or so VeloCITY themed pictures.

Aw shit niggah, I thought this was never going to get finished.

Paging through now - looks like you need some more slots under Soul. How about "Advice?" You know, for that one guy that the rest of the gang go to for advice, that guy that always sounds real wise and shit. It'd be for motivating people.

>>17510131

Anyone know where I can get the latest version of this? I play tested it a while back and it was really hard to figure out the tricks without a map (and a bloody nightmare trying to get the party from trying to beat up everything in sight)

>>17510168

>>17510195
I guess the link in OP is the latest.

All I have are doc files of background stuff and ideas rather than a playable system.

>>17508146
The concept, the concept of love.
Goddamnit man, that's going to be playing in my head for the whole day now.

I love love you.

Did Nothing Man punch out? He did, didn't he?

>>17510312

I wish to be the little runner.

This is getting more attention?
Words can not express how okay I am with this.

I really should go looking for more JSRF artwork.

Or better yet cyberpunk artwork inspired by the likes of Y.T. from Snow Crash.

>>17511097
>Teams/Gangs
>The Doom Riders
Well shit man. more /tg/ related than we even know.

>>17511207

And it ain't exactly hard for them to be cooler than the 40k version.

>>17510940
That's not even remotely fair, one of them is a superhero.

>>17511395

A superhero who DC hates.

Fuck you Beechen and DiDio.

DC are more likely to use Faith Connors from Mirror's Edge in a comic these days than use Cass properly

>>17511439
True, but at least there are some people on our side, like Snyder and Higgins.

>>17511514
Though that's likely to get both of them fired.

>>17511514
>>17511553

Either way were never going to get her old costume back.

That mask was fucking awesome.

>>17511686

The DTV Shredder is a pretty cool piece of kit.

i dont know what your current mechanics are, but pathfinder has chase rules in the game masters guide that use notecards and skill checks, and i thought of this game when i saw them.

>>17511439
>I'm okay with this

If this game ever gets made complete, and I get to play it, I may just suffer a nerd gasm so complete I would never be able to make a coherent sentence again as my brain dissolves in awesome.

>>17512744
Sort of like you are now no?

If this gets finished then I'll finally have a good reason to use JSR/JSRF songs as background music to a game I run..
Well, a better reason than when we're playing Shadowrun anyway.

Holy shit, IT LIVES!

It should, it deserves to.

This is what, the 3rd or 4th renewal it's gone through?

My suggestion would be to simplify the dice mechanic a little more. It's not very complicated, but for a game like this, where you've got a fair number of factors to consider it seems like it would be better to follow the old maxim KISS.

Then again I liked one of the first versions better, but it's your baby Nothing Man, you do with it what you will.

Oh hai.

>>17508118
>a friendly fellow popped onto #Velocity on IRC Rizon

Oh, good.
I was wondering if he had managed to find you.

>Euclid's Ur family
What do Greek mathematicians and their Sumerian families have to do with this Captcha?

>>17513138
Including Rock It On (D.S. Mix), possibly the best single vidya music track in modern history?

>>17514267

Better than Sweet Soul Brother? I don't think so.

>>17514292
Many times better, yes.

>>17514292
I was always a fan of Oldies But Happies / Aisle 10, myself.

God, I remember doing some really shitty drawfagging for VeloCity when it was first created. I could do much better now, if it weren't time to leave for work. I hope this project sees fruition.

>>17514292
The answer is clearly Funky Dealer or Teknopathetic

>>17514128

VeloCITY hasn't ever had a renewal, it's still the same thing.

Repeated rumors if its demise everytime there isn't a thread for a few months are gross exadurations.

>>17514528
Well, the dice mechanics have fucked around a bit and the earliest draft was really confusing in my opinion.

Not that this version -isn't- confusing, but it's also simple enough to be able to get quick results from as a basis.

I didn't sleep, incidentally. I'm just waiting until I can get my hands on more caffeine to get back to work.

>>17514698
I think renewal in this case means "abandoned and taken up again by someone else", which is clearly not the case.

I for one forgot about this and I'm totally stoked to hear about it again. I love air gear, Jet grind radio/JSRF and cant wait to even get a few pages of material for this.

Back to the grind.

(so fahnny joke)

Captcha: style rankst

Thank you for your wise guidance, captcha, I know what to write now.

>>17514365
I'm partial to Sneakman myself, but yeah Teknopathetic is a close second. Naganuma's music from Sonic Rush is pretty good too (and being so obviously his work doesn't really fit in a Sonic game).

I see that Tricks are being used as the term for anything you can do on your turn, though I am wondering if actual tricks will play into VeloCITY and how. Also wondering if there might be anything more to tagging beyond what was presented in the games, like some sort of benefit for having more tagged spots in an area or something.

>>17518174
Tricks are more specific than that, but only barely. A trick is just a sort of action that can specifically gain Style. A complete outline of actions is underway once all the lynchpins are nailed down.

This thread is an eyesore.

Maybe if I keep it bumped, it will shame the Man into continuing.

SHAME

SHAME

>>17521077
It's late and I've gone over 24 hours without sleep at current. though admittedly I should probably go faster, I think I'll try and jot down basic gear rules

Then sleeep
And come back rested
I don't really have a favourite song, they are all quite bloody awesome in my opinion

So are you still taking into account ideas? Because I have a few that sound good to my simplistic brain.
-Graffiti divided into sections, successful rolls required for completion of each sections.
-Different graffiti sizes; XS, S, M, L and XL all having higher amounts of sections and all requiring higher dice rolls for success on each section. Eg. XL has five sections, requires rolls higher than 15 for each section.
-The larger the size of graffiti, the more XP it gives.
-One of the character attributes (Graf. or something like that) adds modifiers to graffiti rolls.
-Gender should play a part in gameplay. Eg. Playing a female character gives less strength but more mobility. Playing a male character gives more strength but less mobility.
-All games are required by law to play the JSR and JSRF soundtracks at all times.
-All players must understand the concept of love.

This looks really, really awesome. Keep it up!

Here's an idea for character creation, Street Renown choices at character creation. Lower renown means you're new on the scene giving you less starting bonuses, but more freedom from cops as they don't know to watch out for you. Higher renown means you've been on the streets for longer, giving you starting bonuses but more chance of the cops descending on you quicker. This'd probably be better implemented for the players as a whole rather than individual character.

Also, possible strengths and weaknesses for each character type/kits so there's more to what type of class you pick than "It looks the coolest".
>Skateboard

Strengths:
-Skateboard can be used as a handheld weapon in combat.
-Allows for the possibility of attempting to multi-class as a Skater/Runner.
-Higher jumps
-Allows for more complex grinding and wall-riding

Weaknesses:
-More chance of being knocked off your gear due to lack of any proper restraint of rider to gear.
-Gear can be lost easily.
-Speed reduced by sharp inclines.
-Wider turning radius disallowing sharp turns at speed, e.g. Pulling a 180 turning left without stopping would require moving forward one grid space, left two grid spaces and left one grid space from that position to end up in the opposite direction.

>Bikes
-More traction and acceleration
-Heavy weight, can deflect blows and knock over pedestrians
-Can carry more materials due to baskets and shit.
-Brakes allow for a sharp 180 by spinning around on the front wheel. This requires a one grid advance to do this though.

Weaknesses:
-Wall rides require much higher rolls.
-Cannot squeeze in the same small areas like other characters.
-Cannot perform multiple small jumps. 2 grid space straight movement is required for each jump.
-Cannot jump longer distances without a ramp.

Continued in next post.

Bladers-
-Extreme maneuverability
-Wall riding and grinding is easier
-Gives a damage bonus to kicks in combat.
-Momentum carries longer

Weaknesses:
-Less traction, slopes and slick surfaces decrease balance and speed.
-Hits have a higher chance of knocking players off-balance.
-Rollerblading is extremely difficult to play without dumping large amounts of stat points into balance.

Runners-
-Best maneuverability
-Best combat
-Able to climb
-Fastest acceleration. Top Speed can be made from a standing start.

Weaknesses:
-Lowest top speed
-Lowest endurance.
-Energy lost easier.
-Short jump distances

There. Adds a bit of flavour and planning when creating characters in a gang.

Bump.

It would be fun as hell to combine Velocity with the exact plot of Warriors.

>>17524930
Fuck Warriors. Heists and capers, all day errday.

What I want to do using this system is run a heist session.
Create an intricate, yet small environment for this to happen, make a large amount of possible variables and give the players all the relevant information they could reasonably get in character.
Then, allow the players to plan out their method, answering questions reasonably while the group comes up with a plan of attack.
Once they've got their plan all sorted out, play through it as normal to see how each step of it goes.
In terms of scenario and creating a real sense of panic and success, I'd have each situation heavily time-based. For example, this guard will be passing through this corridor at this time, the cameras pass over this patch of hallway every third turn etc. For each action-deciding round, I'd also have a time limit of around about forty seconds to help sustain the tension that is the mark of a good heist movie. If a roll fails and an aspect of the plan ends up breaking down, the players will have to improvise quickly to get the plan back on track or risk a possible breakdown of the entire plan.
All the while, I will play the soundtrack to Ocean's Eleven.
Now is that a good session idea or is that a good session idea?

>>17525516
That actually sounds très bos.

I think I would play this, even if my only rp experience is two sessions of Dark Heresy...

>>17511439
agreed, and that saddens me greatly. I miss Cass

This makes me wish for that Mirror's Edge 2

bzmp

Is this archived

bump to see this getting done. would be awesome if it made it to the stage engine heart did

> this thread

Oh man yesss. I am all over this shit.

Bump for brainstorming?

Shit guys, my first time on TG and i find this madness? There goes the rest of my life, checking back tomorrow for more. I kind of feel like a bulldozer trying to catch a butterfly.

>>17533301
Don't just watch the thread, contribute!

Bumping for the awesome

Oh boy oh boy I was just thinking about this the other day.

>>17524930

Would be pretty good.

Using VeloCITY for the "running like fuck" sections, then Joints and Jivers for stylan and fightan.

Ooh Jet Set, ooh Jet Set, JAY-ESS-ARR! GA-ROOVEY!

If this was finished I'd mash up Jsrf and Mirror's edge and run that.

A marvelous bump

Is Nothing Man still here?

Hey this all sounds like good fun. Maybe I'm asking the wrong question, but what specifically is this?

The party is some kind of loose/tight-knit gang of kids causing general mischief through the power of freerunning, skates, skateboards and bikes?

>>17535539
Yeah. Have you played Jet Set Radio or Jet Set Radio Future?
Because it's pretty much like that.
Punk kids on rollerblades fighting the man in the future with the power of Graffiti and the soul of the street.
It's awesome.

>say I'm going to do gear rules
>pass out

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I'm on it, will answer/reply to stuff after

Heck yeah updates.

Holy shit VeloCITY is still alive, I'm shocked. If you've lost data to computer crashes you can always try looking at archived the threads, at the very least you could probably find some of the images you lost. http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Velocity

Oh, and as a note, I'd love any sort of art people can fish up that won't get the shit sued out of me for including it. I'd commission if I had the money to spare, though I've got two people going on a cover already. Also, tell me all the gaps in the document, even ones that seem obvious and that I've stated are missing, I need a good stock of text to jam into a bulletpoint list of 'shit what needs getting written down'.

Obvious gaps I saw while looking over it just now:

-Most of the Soul skills still need description, and Logic's seems a little lacking to me
-None of the skills have specialization examples yet
-The character Gear section of character creation (#5) is blank
-Perks need to really be gone into at all, but then again you mentioned that in the OP
-The tricks section

>>17538317
Logic is admittedly a filler skill because I couldn't figure out what to jam into mind to make it a square 5 stats to make it 20. It's almost entirely invalid because of Luck existing. In fact, I'm going to blow it away entirely and figure out something better.

>>17538317
First two there solved, working on gear. I don't even know how to represent dosh. Credits, dollars, currency, spacebux?

>>17538464
Maybe something to do with the street and have all transaction take place on some sort of black market?

>>17538472
Just 'credit' seems fine. That way it can represent literal monetary value or repaid favors.

Considering grinding is so important to JSR, I'm imaging all of the shoes as Soap shoes to justify why the characters can grind while wearing them.

>>17538527
Soap shoes would be a pretty simple modkit. Really, as long as a runner gets to a point that they learn foot-grinding, they can do it barefoot as long as they don't mind melting their feet. It'll probably be GM fiat as far as whether or not they can grind in regular sneakers or just even socks, but statistically they can.

>>17508118
yes! I've been waiting for something like this.

>>17523126
JSRF is amazing and I love it, but i think the idea is to make this game a little broader, and open to more than just JSRF fans. We're incorporating stuff from Air Gear, Mirror's Edge, and Snow Crash's concept of Kouriers. A mechanic that narrow only rewards fans of one of the source materials.

not that it's not a good idea, it's just game-specific

>>17538599
This. The game is all about gotta-go-fasting, and general physical activities. I'm trying to make a -focus- on racing. But, you can pretty much use the routes system when-it-is-fully-fleshed-out to run a game of basketball if you wanted to.

>>17538567

Calluses?

You'd have some wicked calluses from running barefoot on concrete anyway.

Be like fucking hobbit feet, all leather and hair and shit.

Fair enough.
I'll just implement it as a house rule when I run a campaign in this system.

>>17538642
what are you doing for a skill system? is it gonna be like D&D or are you doing your own thing. also give the details for the character sheet and I'll run up a draft

>>17538680
5 under each stat, 4 stats. Character sheet wise I'll probably have to figure out once I get the entire core system written down on paper and spewed out of my noggin.

Hey, I need the VeloCity logo by its self, any one have it?

>>17538726
Gimme a sec. I lost the first-gen logo because the site I found the vector graphics for changed a lot since. I forgot to save the previous logo by itself, not even in bitmap form. So this is its current state.

>>17538740
And in a larger, print-friendly-enough version

>>17538740
>>17538746
The glow effects changed over different sizes. Huh.

I like the larger version more anyway.

>>17538746
thanks. is the 1d4 entry still valid?

>>17538762
It is currently almost entirely invalid. My god I have not even thought about writing the fluff down too, I'll probably have to save that for the new PDF edition.

I'll have to ask Viral or someone how to make PDFs actually work worth shit, too

>>17538778
okay then can you tell me what the STATs are?

>>17538782
There's a link to the current doc that I'm working on now in the OP post, it should have what you need in stats and skills, though just for ease of it, the stats are Body, Speed, Mind and Soul.

>>17538794
okay, so you have four base stats and what are the five under the bases?

>>17538836
ignore that... I had a brain fart.

>>17538841
UPDATE: I have that character info and stat block down.

>>17538980

>>17538794

I've also noticed that you're lacking in character progression.
Of course a lvl1 char would have 0XP, lvl2 has 25XP, lvl3 has 75XP, lvl4 has 150XP, lvl5 has 300XP.

every level the player gets Mind score x1.5 skill points. also, every third lvl (3, 6, 9) players get an extra point to add to the ability scores.

bump

How would XP be given? Few points per session?

>>17538994
It's spelled "Knowledge".

>>17538778
>I'll have to ask Viral or someone how to make PDFs actually work worth shit, too

InDesign, baby!

>>17540443
yes thank you. I have already fixed it in the .psd
this is now a final product.

>>17540529
Now that I'm awake, thanks.

I think I might actually have that one downloaded.

just keeping the thread alive...

In any case,
>>17540174
Yes. That's the gist of it, 2-3 per session. Enough to buy really tiny perks, but for bigger ones you'll have to save up. Likely up to 5 per session if everyone performs well, and possibly up to 20 in a session if a critical goal is completed.

>>17539433
No, that's stupid and dumb. Why would only mind decide all of the stats' skill gains. The closest thing to levels are going to be Ranks, which are broadly enough different eschelons of relative experience going from Rank 3 (starting character) to Rank 2 (Established riders/Jet Set Radio Future tier) to Rank 1 (Jolokia, Mozambique, Masterful riders/Air Gear tier)

I'm not sure if the ranks will actually have relative limits other than increasing the amount of XP you get per session at a given rank to compensate for the much higher median perks for that level of play.

>>17542680
well. I was just speculating. If you have four base styles of movement like in >>17524275 and >>17524311 you could have two different styles your character excels at while the other two they're not so great in, meaning that they gain XP faster in they're focused styles.

>>17542974
Or maybe one where they excel, two where decent and one terribad?

>>17543017
okay the XP you get for the two your okay with is 100% the one you excel at is at 125% and the one you suck at is at 75%. sound good?

>>17542974
>>17543017
>>17543154
It's much simpler than any of that. You gain XP, you spend XP in things you want to be good at. It takes more XP to get better at things you're already good at.

It's not complex or anything.

>>17543329
But.. complexity...
:<

>>17543329
okay, so you have a pool of available XP that you can sink to to one of the four movement styles. no preset focus or anything. like that. It reminds me of a vidya I played.

>>17543448
it's supposed to be simple for easy playability.

>>17543475
There won't really be 'four movement styles' per se. There'll be a generic vehicle perk tree, and a runner tree. Vehicles will perform similiarly trick-wise albeit completely differently from an actual movement standard.

It's not terrible dynamic, but it also lets me jam in whatever the fuck vehicles I can come up with later and let people become proficient in them. Like scooters, or >>17508282
whatever the fuck that is.

There might be special perks to go with certain vehicles though, but a generic tree comes first.

>>17543687
okay I can work on that for ya.and >>17508282 is a modified snow/skate board that uses a curved axis system for a smoother ride.

>>17543802
strike that. I'm horrible with that stuff. How do weapons/amour work?

Are there ranged weapons or just melee?

>>17545272
both. each have there own skill.

>>17538994
here's a draft of the character info and stat block. ignore the misspelling. I already fixed it.

>>17545859
Affiliation?

woot JSRF

>>17546185
Cops, a particular gang, loner... that sort of thing

>>17510091
I'm in the process of reworking the map as well.

>>17546306
Ah.

>>17546338
and the new map.

am I the only one bumping this?

rolled 10 = 10

this has my intrest

>>17538464

and as such, you have my playtesting ability

>>17548023
hello new comer, sadly every one else is not here ATM.

>>17548107
And you have my sword.

So this is essentially JSRF + Freejack?

>>17548294
my best guess, yes.

>>17548361
What is Freejack like by the way?
I'm interested in it, but not sure if I want to waste a gig of my unmetered data on it (Rural Ausfag, small data caps are shithouse).

quick bump...

>>17549597
I haven't played freejack so IDK. that was just one of my random guesses

>>17547987
No?

>>17549597
>>17550189

I think I played some Freejack back when it came out (or some game so similar to the video I just watched that I can't tell the difference) and honestly it was clunky and disappointing.

Pic would be best possible GM for this game.

What if FLIP could also measure or be partially tied to Intelligence/Estimation/Patience?

During a flip you have to decide how much air time you'll have since the move requires a lot more than other moves.

I don't think it's necessarily right to say it could simulate complex things like hacking, but it could simulate someone who plans things out. You may not be the guy who's dodging cops on a mission, instead the spotter/scouter/interference/artist/party leader.

>>17550384
THERE I WAS! I was actually in the crowd! This was going to be amazing!
T-minus 1 minute.
I have the stencils crammed in every pocket of my cargo pants, even the 20 or so I added on later.... plus the ones all over the inside of my Ditch Coat.

When the outdoor speakers start playing a bit a Sweet Soul Brother I'll know it's time to slap down quick adhesive stencils and clear the way.

Walls aren't that hard at surface level, but crowds sometimes like to step where you're workin'. My fave way to get them clear from sidewalk canvas is to Get My Freestylin On! You stamp out a circle and throw out a few bits of pop'n'lock, flow into liquid, or kickin crazy capoeira! You betta believe even the white colla sellouts pop a smile.

Course most of tha time you'd best be running around gettin plenty of you crew's tags ready. Can't spend all day groovin.

>>17550367
>>17549597

Interesting concept. Poor execution. Freejack was in essence, rather weak. Like I said, I liked the concept. Liked the level of customization. But they failed to pull through adequately.

>>17547545

I know it's kinda late in the day for the map but here's one thing I remember thinking the first time I looked at the first version of the map.

The Hills are ment to be "the rich area" all the fancy houses and so on. Yet it is right alongside the highway and Industrial area. That just doesn't seem right at all.

The Suburbs giving way to indistrial ground, with a small band of cheaper housing between the two sounds more logical.

FLIP

Flyin high, jumpin, freakin A! The jumpers? They're the ones you call when you need a linebacker as much as a performer. STRENGTH!

Lip, smack, and plenty of cred to back it up. The best ones know how to talk and feel the mood like voodoo.
CONFIDENCE!

Indies, everywhere, Indies. You gotta smack the pavement before you can. Once you do though? Aw damn! You'll be spinnin in the air like a flyin saucer. TALENT!

Planning, planning planning... and observation. It takes hours or some research to find a location with a window of opportunity. The best ones take their time. SMARTS!

I was delivering a cake to a customer one day, when this runner just ran straight into me from behind the corner. Of course she just said sorry a real quick and tried to get away, was probably running from someone or something, but I grabbed her leg and told her to pay for the bloody thing, I mean, it was a custom bloody one and cheapest ones are like, 500 flicks or something.

She tries to lay it off as my fault for a while, until realizes that I came from her right. Then she goes on about trying to brush it off saying she's got no money with her (though that I believe, who would carry that kind of money with her?) until she finally agrees to come with me to the client.

When we get there, everyone's surprised, as apparently the client is a friend of hers. After I explain what happens, he just looks at her labd laughs, saying something about her supposedly being better than that, to which she says something about only waking up 40 minutes ago (yeah right, it was almost six in the evening) when I comment on that.

She goes ballistic, shouting about kids these days, and so on (mind you she's about 17 I'd guess, I'm 23). Then the client says that something should be done since he did not get his cake. A small argument is born and somehowbended in a race with me going against her. If I win she pays for it and client gets a new cake, and if she wins we have to get him a new cake for free.

Now, I'm not proficient at this, use rollerblades and deliver cakes. But I thought I could beat a running kid in a little race. Boy was I wrong. I don't really know how to describe it, she was like an eagle or something, I didn't even get to the halfpoint before she had won.
But damn if she doesn't deserve it. Should have asked her number.

Most riders have a moment of epiphany.
A single moment in time when they figure out that this, this is going to be a massive part of the rest of their lives and they want that to happen. They want to be able to feel the wind in their hair, to swoop from building to building, to grind like there's no end to the rails and to fly like a butterfly.
Call me weird, but I like to collect them.

One girl said that her moment began when a group of guys with wheels took her bag. The road was winding and she said that her brain just told her to jump down, rather than chase them, find the shortcuts and stop them that way. She clotheslined the riders, took her bag back and when they started to give chase, just continued to take shortcuts and even jumped down from a building and they couldn't keep up chase and from then, she just never stopped.

One guy's was when he saved someone's life. He's been on his skates for about a year and he was one hell of a rider, but to him, it was a hobby until he came past this blazing building and he could hear someone inside. He kicked the door in and went inside, sliding and walking past fiery obstacles. Apparently, he even had to limbo-slide past a broken beam. He found a little girl, curled up, coughing like hell and crying. There was no way in hell she could be taken from the way he came in, so he cleared a path, smashed the window, built up speed, carried her and flew out of that window into safety. The girl thanked him and he visited her when she was recovering in hospital. The doctor said if he wasn't there, she might've not survived.

Flicks for currency?

>>17551414
I dunno, sounds kind of eh...

>>17551414
It'd work as a slang for the currency. Maybe cash is pre-paid credit sticks that you can easily 'flick' at someone, or something along those lines.

>>17550533
Right, I can fix that quick.

>>17552266
If we're going to be using slang for currency, why don't we just use dosh? Sounds vastly better than "flicks".

>>17552788
Doesn't fit?

>>17552396
alright, reworked it a little. just have to put the markers and the legend again

>>17538994
Social Combat?
Rule-Lawyering?

wait, did we never finish VeloCITY?
I mean, what else is there to do?

>>17553138
core mechanics, weapon/armor usage, Energy/Initiative calculation, perk tree

>>17553372
So... most of it?

>>17553983
we have basic mechanics down, but the more complex stuff is what we are lacking.

>>17554023
I figured out how to calculate maximum Energy. have a Base score of 100 then you had you're stamina score times 5.
EX: 100+(3 x 5)=115

>>17555137
then again... that would make for slow progression... stamina x10?

This is....this is pretty neat.

Monitoring this.

>>17553094

That's awesome glad to have made a small contribution to things.

>>17550682
Any opinions on this? Was my first attempt ever of writefaggotry.

>>17555221
x10 seems better in my opinion
