This really depends on the game.

Poll: How important is a "leveling up" mechanic to you for a TTRPG?

For this poll "leveling up" is going to be defined very broadly. It could mean getting EXP and increasing level, it could mean using points to buy upgrades, whatever. The more your character does stuff, the more strong or complex their abilities get. How important is this feature to you in a TTRPG? Do you consider this an essential part of a TTRPG?

Coalition IAR-2 Abolisher Robot

Originally released on p. 35 of Rifts Sourcebook 1

The Abolisher, Infantry Assault Robot (IAR-2), is another giant vehicle that is part of the Coalition States' military forces. Unlike the UAR-1 Enforcer, which is designed specifically to combat ground troops in an urban/city environment, the Abolisher is a frontline infantry unit with long-range capabilities and heavy firepower for obliterating enemy troops. The focus of its armaments is anti-robot and anti-tank, hence the six heavy cannons bristling around what appears to be the head. The rim of cannons has given the 30 foot (9 m) robot the nickname 'Thorn Head."

The heavily armored bot is a massive, humanoid shaped, all terrain assault vehicle designed to withstand heavy bombardment. However, in keeping with the frightening Death's Head motif, the Abolisher is designed to look like a massive skull with arms and legs. The two eyes are infra-red and conventional light searchlights for night assaults. The upper skull body can rotate 360 degrees and is operated by a five-man crew. Two soldiers are gunners operating three cannons each, the pilot and the copilot/communications engineer (either the pilot or copilot can fire the small, forward facing, dual laser turret) and the top hatch gunner, usually a SAMAS.

The big guns are devastating weapons that can blast an enemy from all sides simultaneously. The robot's arms and hands are powerful and lethal in hand to hand confrontations (can rotate 180 degrees at the shoulders). On top of the behemoth is a Gunner's Hatch which allows a SAMAS or soldier to perch himself on the head and fire at the enemy from the top of the robot. An inner hatch locks automatically, preventing the enemy from easy access should the top gunner be killed; the inner hatch can only be opened by one of the pilots.

The only real disadvantage to the 30 foot (9 m) giant is that its incredible weight and large size reduce its speed and maneuvering capabilities. Although great in the field as an outer perimeter defense or as an infantry assault unit (tank with arms and legs), its speed and size make it an easy target (hence the heavy armor). Unless one wishes to destroy a city, the bot is not well suited for city conflicts. Its weapons are too powerful for use in the city, able to demolish an S.D.C. skyscraper in mere moments, and its size and bulk makes maneuvering through narrow streets difficult. Still, it is excellent for city defense, being able to be placed wherever needed, and ideal for infantry combat.

IAR-2 Abolisher: Size 9 (Huge), Crew 5+2, Strength d12+10, Toughness 60 (36), Pace 14+d10 (70 MPH)

Notes: MDC Armor, Shoulder STS-Cluster -4 to hit and 24 Hardness.

Weapons:

6 x C-144 Auto-Cannons (Spaced 360 degrees around the crown of the bot; Range 100/200/400, 5d12+5 Mega Damage, AP 12, RoF 1)

MARS Framework - Turbo-Jockey

The Turbo-jockeys are naturals at piloting. They are hotshot pilots with the "right stuff," possessed of incredible reflexes, reaction time, and spatial perception. They are a small, highly respected elite group found among several race. Some are sports racers, using their skills on land, air or sea vehicles. Others become fighter pilots. Many of these talented mavericks end up among mercenaries and outlaws, because they often have little patience for military discipline. Speed freaks, the turbo-jockeys love speed, the feeling of pushing a vehicle to its limits and beyond, and taking insane risks .

Turbo-jockeys are usually discovered at an early age, probably because of their desire (or obsession) to drive or fly, which usually manifests itself among them at an early stage of life . The lucky ones soon get the training they require to become pilots. They pick up piloting with an uncanny quickness and exceptional ability. Most of them live short, glorious lives, until the day they take one risk too many, or have a stroke of bad luck that ends it all.

Healthy Recipes #1

Thats the title because i don't what to call this thing xD

Okay so I posted a "colorful" version of this recipe, similarly to the one I did for my Strawberry Tiramisu.

But lets just try a nice and easy straight forward version as well, one that is easy to look at and follow.

INGREDIENTS

Heads up! All of these measurements are "measured with love", i measure them out as i make them on a scale but each time i make it the portions are all a lil different.

LOW CALORIE, HIGH FIBER TORTILLA

So what we have here is a low calorie, high fiber Tortilla, I do Mission Carb Balance Spinach tortillas because the flavor is light and overshadowed by the flavors but it provides the most fiber and protein for the least amount of calories (of the Mission Carb Balance Tortillas which are the only real high fiber low cal Tortillas I have access too in my area)

THE FILLING

The filling is made with a base of Greek Yogurt (Nonfat and Plain for me, but low fat, full fat, vanilla, etc all works ofc, everyones needs are different, I get my fat from other sources!) 125-175 grams is usually good for me.

Some Zero Sugar Pudding Mix (Chocolate because its what is easier for me to find, but any flavor can be delicious) 5-12 grams is usually good for me (depends on how much yogurt you use)

Chia seeds, these things are AMAZING, they are packed densely with all sorts of nutritious macros and micros, great fiber content. I usually do about 3-7 grams of these.

(Optional) Toss like 3-6 grams of protein powder in there just to bump the protein in it. This is wholly optional. I use chocolate protein powder in this.

(Optional) Drop a no calorie sweetener in there if you want. I use a packet of splenda, but like you can use monkfruit or whatever.

Aight, you got all the above and measured with love to whatever you want? Mix it up! The powders will thicken the yogurt, so if you need to add some more yogurt too it (if you tracking your stuff, don't forget to weigh and track that added bits!)

THE FRUIT

Choose 3-4 types of fruit, I usually go for about 120-140 grams of fruit. In this one i did grapes, tangerines and strawberries. Banana, Cherry and apple are great contenders too.

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

Heat the tortilla up in a skillet on low heat, you want it warmed up but still supple.

Slap the Filling in there.

Slap the Fruit on there.

Curl it up like a taco and eat

THE DEETS

This is the profile for this specific version I made today! pictured above.

Micros:

494.7 mg of potassium

LETS MAKE SOME FUCKING DELICIOUS HEALTH FOOD

Some of you fuckers that follow me over on other websites may have heard that I have lost over 50 fucking pounds in going on 6 months now and i'm honestly shocked by how easy its fuckin' been now that I'm ignoring bullshit media and diet culture!

Also I just wanna say to all my fat kings and queens out there, yall fucking hot as shit and this was a decision I made for me, but I fully support you motherfuckers to love yourself at any and all sizes and I fucking love you too.

Now, what the fuck is this shit up here? A fucking Spinach tortilla? Fruit? Sugar free jello pudding? What the goddamn FUCK Basilisk!

Okay, calm down there buddy. hear me out. The spinach tortilla is the weird one, right? Well it has a light enough flavor to be overshadowed by the rest of the flavors, all this goddamn tortilla is here to deliver 18 fucking grams of FIBER directly into the glorious fucking body, ya dig?

No joke though! This is one of my favorite go to recipes, its quick as fuck and absolutely delicious jammed full of good shit at only 238 Calories!

Lets talk fucking Macros!

5.3 grams of fat (I usually get my fats elsewhere, if you want more fucking fat in this bitch than dice up some fatty delicious fuckin coconut in it or some shit)

44.3 g of carbs (including 19.3g of goddamn fiber!)

22.1 g of protein

Now lets talk some goddamn micros

494.7 mg of potassium

100mcg of Vitamin A

51.9mg of Vitamin C

284.5mg of Calcium

2.5mg of Iron

All kinds of other vitamins and minerals that they annoyingly don't let you track easily!

Now what the fuck is in this thing? Recipes? How do you FUCKING make it? Here we go, and just a warning ALL of this shit is measured with love, i weigh it all to track my shit but i do it in the moment and every time i make it, its a lil different!

Step ONE: Ya start off with your Nonfat/Lowfat greek yogurt (or full fat if you want more of that delicious delicious fat im not your goddamn mom). Just slap as much as you want in a bowl. Like 125-175g is good usually for me!

Step TWO: Measure out like idk 3-7 grams of chia seeds (CHIA SEEDS ARE FUCKING AMAZING GET THEM!) and toss that shit in the bowl.

Step THREE: Toss in some sugar free pudding powder, I use chocolate cause it what i can get regularly, but fuck do whatever you want! Vanilla? Banana? Pistachio? Fuck yeah! (Holy shit now im wondering about using Jell-o gelatin to get some like berry flavors... Idk how that'd work but im thinkin bout it now?!!) anyway you want probably 5-12grams of that shit (depends on how much yogurt you used! it will stiffen up your yogurt a TON, so idk if it gets TOO stiff, just add a lil more Yogurt, ya dig?)

Step FOUR (Optional): Throw in a lil protein powder, I used chocolate for my chocolate but fuckin get wild in there and experiment if you want! You only want like 3-6 grams of this in there! This just adds some extra protein and shit so this is still good af if you don't have any or don't wanna add it! (Also you can just do like ALL flavored Protein powder and none of the sugar free pudding mix if you want LOTS of that tasty tasty fuckin protein, we all just making shit up here as we go along)

Step FIVE (Optional): Use your no calorie sweetener of choice, just a lil bit (one packet or whatever) I use fucking Splenda because I WORSHIP AT HE ALTAR OF MY CHEMICAL GODS. But you can use like... monkfruit? or whatever the kids are using these days.

Step SIX: Mix that shit up with a spoon real quick. Fair warning that I totally and COMPLETELY do not give because of experience. You are mixing a lot of powders in there and start off as GINGER AS FUCK or you are gonna get some choclate fucking powder POOFED on your goddamn shirt or in your wookiee like chest hair or all over your tits, or all over your hairy fucking tits maybe idk, but if thats you I see you and goddamn love you. WARNED.

Step SEVEN: Warm up a skillet and start heating your Low Calorie High Fiber Tortilla (in my case, a Carb Balance Spinach Tortilla by Mission), low heat, you want it warm and supple so you can Taco that bitch and shove all the goodies in your face!

Step EIGHT: While you are warming up the skillet start throwing fruit together, I usually do about 120-140 grams of fruit, make it 3-4 different kinds if you can, get a nice spread of nutrients and vitamins and shit. Lately ive been doing strawberries, tangerines, grapes (both green and red). Banana, Cherry and/or Apple are both great too! USE WHAT YOU GOT!

STEP NINE: ITS TIME TO FUCKING GOOOO! That Tortilla is HOT, the fruit is fucking ready and delicious, that chocolaty yogurt full of NUTRITION-FUCKING-DENSE chia seeds is tantalizing. Slap that yogurt mixture on the goddamn tortilla! Slap the fruit on top (FUCKING lick all the tasty chocolate-yogurt mixture off that spoon, don't let that shit go to WASTE)

THEN YOU FUCKING ROLL THAT SHIT UP like a Taco! (Unless you are lucky enough to find larger tortillas that fit your needs, I can only find these pathetic lil "soft taco" sized like 8 inchers! and shove it in your hungry goddamn hole and just fucking love this FUCKING FILLING and delicious sweet treat at under 250 Cals.

VARIANTS!

Sometimes I mix some zero sugar whipped topping in with the yogurt, or just top it with it.

When you Want a LOT OF FUCKING YOGURT AND FRUIT, I have grilled the tortilla to a more crisp and crunchy demeanor and made that shit a goddamn chocolate and fruit tostada (topped with whipped topping of course!)

ANYWAY FUCKING ENJOY!

At the end of last year I started doing Pro-GMing so that I did not have to return to doing restaurant work, since covid is still a thing and my wife is high risk. You can find my Pro-GM profile at Startplaying.Games. I mostly run Pathfinder 2E right now because there is enough interest to find players without having to play 5E.

Brinkwood Google Sheets 2.0

Hello folks! I'm going through the updates for a number of my older google sheets, and I've just finished a complete overhaul of Brinkwood: Blood of Tyrants, a Forged-in-the-Dark game about fae-sponsored peasants fighting vampires. It's Castlevania meets Robin Hood in the best way.

Y'all, this is a monster of a playkit. I have a Brigand Template that you can copy and paste for each player, the 7 Masks as well as Mask template so you can create your own, a Rebellion tracking sheet with info about Bans and Scars, and a sheet to help you build your own Exquisite Fae!

There's also my updated Safety Tools sheet, with Lines, Veils & Lures, CATS, and a short run-down of common safety tools.

I'll be retiring my old Brinkwood playkit, but you can pick up the new one here! You can also see my full library of playkits, which I'm slowly updating, by clicking on the link below.

Clicky.
