Ever-reliable Hatch-attack Eric "Insubstantial Ninja" Hatcher has crunched some numbers for the chances of getting various sorts of sets. Handy stuff.

(ORE) Blast Radius Area Table

03.09.2007

This is a page which contains all the descriptions of Area attacks from Godlike, Nemesis and Wild Talents.  This was to allow easier comparison between the sources, and also so that it would be simple to apply the Radius information from Godlike to weapons in the other settings.

I thought it might be useful, as with a better understanding of the comparison between weapons and their variables it'd be easier to fudge - for example, a weapon with a low Radius but a high Area, for a plasma grenade, or a high Radius with a low Area for an unfocused shockwave cannon.

Another variable would be Penetration, so that a small shaped-charge would have low-Radius, low Area dice - and thus low damage - but high Penetration to represent it not doing huge damage, but going straight through whatever armour was there.

Alternately that can be flipped around: High Area dice, high Radius, but low Penetration.  Big, diffuse explosion with little armour-busting capacity for its size.  Hell, something like a decent Fuel/Air bomb would fit for that.  10 Area dice, radius of at least 25 yards and penetration of...  3?  Maybe 4?  It's going to bust some armour, but nowhere near as much as focused blasts that size would.

This is a fun dynamic...

Java/Swing ORE Generator

16.08.2007

This is a one-roll-character-generator that chews up properties files (with the *.ore extension) and spits out a randomly generated character.

 Currently supported generators:

• Reign (Mid Weird)
• Dindavarians (Reign)
  
• Imperials (Reign)
• Companies (Reign)
• Wild Talents (Blue 1)
• Wild Talents (Blue 3)
• Wild Talents (Blue 5)

Things to note:

• Printing has only been tested on windows.
• If you would like to change the amount of dice rolled, change the properties file.
• This program is released under GPL-2 (read the attached doc if you're interested).
• If you would like the source code, drop me a line and I'll give you a link to my svn server.
• There's no readme.  I'm working on that.

Shadowrun ORE Conversionhot!

03.08.2007

Document linked to :http://www.houseofgenius.com/index.phptitle=Shadowrun_ORE Link created on :Fri, 2007-Aug-03 07:16

This is a conversion I threw together over the course of a few days to experiment with ORE in the Shadowrun universe. It is very much a work in progress, and remains un-playtested. Please feel free to do with it what you will! Feedback is appreciated.

Random ORE Rolls

28.07.2007

One of the things that people new to ORE worry about most is handling big combats with PCs versus multiple NPCs. I discovered random.org a while back and have been using it to generate sheets of NPC rolls ever since. I made this file out of rolls generated there. Just print of some random pages and hit the ground running. There are 384 pages of random rolls, which should be enough to ease the mind of any ORE GM.

What I do is just use one row for each NPC that would be rolling a dice pool. If they have a 6d pool, just look at the first 6 numbers in the row for matches, a 5d pool look at the first 5, etc.

CyberORE1hot!

19.07.2007

This is my attempt to translate some of the Cyberware from Cyberpunk 2020 and to a lesser extent Shadowrun to ORE. I did it some time ago before Wild Talents or even Nemesis had been realeased so the character creation I came up with might be a bit problematic as it is loosley based on Shadowrun.  I also included a basic Humanity Loss system that could be ignored pretty easily.  With all the potential of the ORE engine I thought everyone might get something out of this with a little work.  The page background and cover are both my own art work.  Enjoy.

Star O.R.E.hot!

27.05.2007

Star O.R.E. is a microgame based on Arc Dream Publishing’s Wild Talents. It presents the characters and concepts of Star Wars with the speed and simplicity of the Wild Talents rules set—the “one-roll engine”(O.R.E.). The rules in Star O.R.E. are a simplified version of Wild Talents. It is meant to be easy to teach to neophyte gamers and playable with all the speed, excitement, and flash of Star Wars itself.
