Weird Science Update!
« on: May 27, 2019, 08:19:03 AM »
A recent conversion has prompted a look and some ideas how Weird Science works in Frozen Skies under the SWADE rules. How Power Points and Devices work now warranted a rethink for Frozen Skies. Hoping to preserve the differences between Glim-Tech and Ancient Terran devices, if anything to reflect their own style and theme.

I've been running No Power Points for my setting so far, does that still exist in the new rulebook?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

Yes it does, though it doesn't work for Arcane Devices (gizmos or whatever given to other characters to use).

Ah, OK, yes :)

I'm planning to do more my own variant when I get the time anyway and write more of a proper styley big miscast table for spells - I don't like power points because it's another thing for players to track (and feels kind of video-gamey too), but I guess they make more sense for some other settings and game styles.
