Gotta love this character's name: I bet it would net a Scrabble player a lot of points (if one could use proper names!).

Question for AK/JB:

As it's written I'm a bit confused on what the intent is for his grapple attack.  Should it be:

A) HTH attack for carrier, automatic Death Touch (with rolls against E and A) for the payload?

or

B) HTH attack for carrier, Chemical Powers attack for the payload (with "damage" being the E and A saves, as per Death Touch)?

or

C) Chemical Powers attack for the carrier, with Death Touch effects (with the requisite saves) for the payload?

or something else entirely?

Overall he's a cool villain that I'd like to use, and I think I'd lean towards B as the way I'd do it.  Just curious of authorial intent here.

I'll revise him:

The HTH attack is a grappling attempt that has it's own constriction damage and must succeed to then use the Death Touch component: The carried Death Touch is automatic at that point because all it requires is a HTH attempt (that's in the Death Touch rules anyway).

If the Death Touch fails, Zyklon still exposes the victim to Chemical Powers but must hit using Chemical Powers at that point (allowing the victim to use applicable defenses against this assault).

I think it would be fair for a GM to not use the chemical attack until the next phase.
I'm also of the mindset that Zyklon's victim surviving the Death Touch would make them immune until the next full combat round to that component and only allow Zyklon to assault them with Chem powers.

I will clear up the ambiguity when I get some free time; our ownership group decided against the purchase of the other game store and instead we're just building our own.

We have a lease signed, and are in the midst of the buildout process. Utilities have been scheduled and we are awaiting keys to paint and rehab, and import materials and stock. We will be carrying V&V and promoting it from a home base store that V&V hasn't had for many years.

I'll let you write a compendium of WWI soldiers.

Marie is featured in an adventure I play-tested a couple of weeks ago.

Written for first-time players and GMs. The biggest snag I ran into was that the seasoned gamers were looking for traps EVERYWHERE (except where they were), and the newbies just sort of stumbled along having a good time. The seasoned players also read way too much into what was actually really simple stuff.

In order for the adventure to work properly, I had to flesh out the crew, give the ship a more capabilities, and make Sweetie wear a top of some kind... flippin' topless hippies!

Yad's insanely busy working for FGU (an adventure I have been trying to get out for over a year!) and FASA, so don't expect this one for a while.
