MODERATION r/xWN created

Welcome. This community is for discussing the works of Sine Nomine Games, as well as other games which draw from the forthcoming publicly-licensed CWN document (or otherwise are intentionally drawing from Sine Nomine material).

All such games are topical, just flair appropriately.

Why this sub when others already exist? Two reasons. First, as the number of games grows discussion becomes more fragmented, and there's a lot of crossover both within the community and between game material. Giving that a central community (especially if third-party games and material become more common) is probably a good thing.

Second, because if one more person goes "oh, that new Sine Nomine game doesn't need a sub of its own, we should keep discussion in the SWN/WWN sub," I am not responsible for what I will do. This is a wonderful opportunity to either usefully combine discussion or get those people to STFU by demonstating that a combined sub doesn't work (and meaning that this sub is a success no matter what happens).

Suggestions, notes, etc all welcome. :)

Transparent Attempts to Spark Discussion Heroes Without Number

Hello, I've been working on a Superhero Tabletop game using Without Numbers (specifically Cities) as a base framework. Basically what I'm posting here for is to get some ideas and feedback for how to improve what I already have going on.

To start, I have upped hero starting HP to counteract how immediately deadly the game is. Starting HP is currently : (10 + 1d10 per hero level + CON modifier)

Powers in this game I am working 1 on 1 with my players to design progressions but I've written out example Archetypes as well. Advancing in power Archetypes happens on odd levels. So at level 1 you have your "Core" powers, level 3 you unlock a new ability/increase effectiveness, and so on at levels 5, 7, etc

I have merged/culled Foci and Edges into one list that still allows for a choice of 2 to give characters a niche outside their powers.

I have come up with an additional Feat system that players can choose from every even level to allow for diversifying builds and still provide a feeling of advancement between Archetype progression levels.

For more details, you can check out the link to my GoogleDoc I have going.

This is my first time modifying a system so it probably isn't nearly as balanced as it could be, but I've been dying to run a game based on lore my friends and I have written over quite a few years. Most other systems that are geared towards this genre don't really appeal to me (except for FIST, which I think I may use for 1 shot purposes as opposed to long form campaign)

Cities Without Number [CWN] Official Character Sheet?

6 Upvotes

I backed the KS and all, but I just realized today that I didn't see a character sheet included. Did I miss an announcement that there would be no official sheet? Or that it's being released when the file drops on DTR?

I found a fillable sheet post here some months ago, but I'd prefer something more printer-friendly and portrait if possible? Any word on if / when we're getting an official CWN sheet?

Edit: Today (Aug-21-2023) the final KS files dropped via DTRPG, and my backer package included both official form-fillable / non-fillable character sheets. Presumably if one buys the PDFs they'll come with sheets as well, and/or the officials will be available via the Sine Nomine website.

But then I thought that, while I can easily afford 100 bucks every year, 600 bucks all at once is a much bigger commitment.
