GURPS Negima/Pokemon Crossover Campaign

Nah, we need Jack to get some, raise Ruina, then torture her a little bit. At the very least, take a good amount of blood - there's a lot we can do with blood - DNA, voodoo, tracking, etc.

Aww, I wanted Ruina to be an end-game boss! Well, when at full power, an end-game boss. Because, seriously, I need to either remember the stats better or keep my book at hand in order to flick through it. By all rights, Adam, you should be dead. VERY dead. Yes, she is that powerful. Yes, you will eventually be that powerful. Yes, you will be able to kill her. Just preferably not right now.

How dead? On a scale of d, c, m, g damage, where is she? For those viewing who don't understand...

d damage is measure in 10s, decade.
c damage, 100s. Century.
m damage, 1000s. Millenia.
g damage, 3740s. Godzillas.

Between c and m scale, depending on how well she rolls her to-hit. Assuming average, just not m scale, but she does have cosmic on this.

Fair enough. Well, I'll do something clever next time. HIDE BEHIND A WALL OF MAGIC!

Can it block Cosmic?

Don't need to, I have my dodging and blocking.

Dodging AoE and blocking cosmic, let's see how that turns out for you, shall we?

Lets see how it turns out if you use rulebooks that people dont openly say "Holy shit this is broken"

Yeah, I've worked out that if you don't use Powers, forbid cosmic, and limit modifiers to min -40% instead of -80%, you get a much more balanced game.

And you expected this, a game in which ascension to godhood is not only a possibility but, in certain cases, more or less guaranteed, and playing a broken character is considered fair game, to be balanced? Wow.

Oh, god no. Just mentioning little houserules for balancing it. I'll compile them some day, methinks.

But yes, I agree with your points. It's interesting to be able to carry out all the little mechanical things you realise you can do when you analyse it a bit. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one I've seen that's figured out the alt form loop by themselves though.

Yeah, I'm pretty certain you are. I have managed to stat the 'I'm in charge!" power, but it's kind of expensive (12k points after mods) and, to be honest, no GM in their right minds would ever let somthing like that near their campaign with a ten foot pole.

12k points? Fuck me, that's roughly 10 times the total cost of the party. Or, y'know, 5 times the total value of the party. Just to point it our, with our characters, cost really does not equal value.

Well, yeah, I'd figured that out, mainly because alt form dickery. Also, you're at 300 points, not 400. Get it right.

I'm just watching your point clash and reaping the rewards as any good Darkling would

To be fair, since I only transform back when asleep, I am at 400 most of the time.

... Fair enough. Now, who wants to see some TRUE power?

[I'm too busy to show my power...ask me later]

Not you! Zanton!

On a completely unrelated and totaly un-sinister note, next NPC to be mentioned gets a special prise!

Ko/No+No/Do+Ka.

If it's good, choose the first of each pair. If bad, choose the second.

... Damn, man, Cam is gonna be pissed at you!

Called it! It was the emoticon that gave it away.

And now, several minutes after the fact, I realize I could have chosen a dead NPC for the bad choice. Oh well, what's done is done

It was pretty obvious that it was bad...

Indeed it was. Now, just realised, Nodoka can't really die (yes, it was gonna be death) so could you pick another, please? Preferably alive.

I'm staying out of it on deaths, so long as its not any of the major characters that you kill.

Well, you know how it works. You have X effort to spend on saving people, and it costs Y effort to 'save' people. X and Y are very arbitary numbers, and don't particularily matter, but rest assured, X > Y by at least a factor of 3. Anyone not 'saved', btw, will live or die on either my whims or the dice's roll.

Now, can someone please name a person that they won't be trying to save?
