BeCKS and SURGE
BeCKS and SURGE
Has BeCKS had SURGE integrated into it yet? I'm asking because NSRCG doesn't have the SURGE changeling option under the BeCKS character generation tab, unlike the Build Point system tab.

You're giving up SR? Say it ain't so! I love BeCKS; it is the ONLY way to create SR characters!Bethyaga wrote:No.
I don't own any new books (nothing since MiTS), and I haven't played SR in a couple years.
Anyone else is welcome to take a shot at it, but there's nothing "official" at this point.

I've been in worse boxes! FedEx me from Australia to Bethy's house. I might be mighty hungry on arrival, though...Cash wrote:The shadowrun and "re-edutcation" of Bethy is set for 2 weeks from now. Who's in? Method of insertion into Bethy's home:: FedEx box.

Booya, BeCKS rocks. If you give up SR, the sith WILL kill you. It will be the most painful and horrible death you will ever experience, and you will NEVER forget it. Reincarnation is a bitch.Darth Sophia wrote:You're giving up SR? Say it ain't so! I love BeCKS; it is the ONLY way to create SR characters!Bethyaga wrote:No.

Sadly, I have only a limited amount of gaming time. And truth to tell, SR is really just too damn complicated for me to take seriously anymore. I know that sounds silly from the guy who made SR character creation about 5 times more complicated, but it's true. Even back when I was really really good with SR and had all the rules memorized, it still wound up every Saturday that a five minute combat would take up three hours of a five hour session. Tactical combat is just not that damn important to me. (Although surprisingly, I still dig D&D3e. It may be massively complex, but somehow it plays fast for me.)
I keep waiting for Adam to produce me some rules-lite cyber-fantasy rules so I can play SR in Fudge or Tri-Stat or something.

Ah, there's your problem, you're only doing 5 hour sessions. Once you do 72 hour sessions, you never want to go back. We ran entire stories at a time, not just sessions. We happened to take a couple of small breaks for pizzas and sodas, and one guy did a bit of crystal meth(but that's neither here nor there), and when we did, we'd do exp then and there.

Well, for the record, Serious Paul is an unforgivable bastard.
I've had BeCKS v2.0 drawn up for months now, but not polished. And now Paul's gone and sucked me into a fucking game and rekindled my interest. Hopefully, BeCKS 2 will be ready to share sooner than later.
Although it still won't deal with Otaku or SURGE.

I remember it. Now, finding the thread may be trickier... especially as it may have been on the old forums.

I had the second one already, but for some reason, I never could turn up that first link.
Thankyouthankyouthankyou!
Thus completes the full history of BeCKS development:
Old Bulldrek: The initial seeds of BeCKS are sown.
Brown DSF: Most of the working features of BeCKS are hammered out (with much thanks to Thanee for seeing it all before I did)
Old Bulldrek: The first polished version of BeCKS
Brown DSF: Original Q&A on BeCKS in TSS
Brown DSF: The latest Q&A for development of BeCKS v2.0
I feel so much better now.
