I've got a PDF of the core book I could send your way. One of my school mates is wanting to do a run with it

theLumberJack:
It's not exactly a simple rule set. I've been making a character for his game for like two weeks
Mar 18, 2016 at 12:02 PM -
Hexalan:
it's like the time i tried to play dark heresy
Mar 18, 2016 at 1:19 PM -
Statboy:
i've only done 3.5, pathfinder, and firefly
Mar 18, 2016 at 1:55 PM -
theLumberJack:
I didn't have a problem wrapping around dark heresy. Played 3-4 sessions with the same people as will shadowrun
Mar 18, 2016 at 1:55 PM -
theLumberJack:
Managed to be a crazy tech priest that soloed an encounter that was designed to take the four of us alive
Mar 18, 2016 at 1:56 PM -
theLumberJack:
The GMs face was amazing
Mar 18, 2016 at 1:58 PM -
theLumberJack:
I've played 3.5, pathfinder, dark heresy, and air ship pirates
Mar 18, 2016 at 2:07 PM -
English:
dark heresy is a little confusion
Mar 18, 2016 at 2:07 PM -
English:
confusing*
Mar 18, 2016 at 2:07 PM -
English:
the character creation at least
Mar 18, 2016 at 2:07 PM -
Hexalan:
yeah, mostly i was just busy/tired when the campaign was starting and i never finished creation
Mar 18, 2016 at 2:08 PM -
Hexalan:
all those d10s
Mar 18, 2016 at 2:12 PM -
VaultBot: i'm thinking it's time for a few minutes of break between scrubbing the house, producing a video and packing for my thingy tomorrow
Mar 18, 2016 at 2:12 PM -
Statboy:
strong point of firefly/serenity is that all characters are pre-generated and the rules are much simpler. You never roll a d20+whatevs, if your good at something you roll a d10 or d12, if you're bad at something you roll a d3 or d4
Mar 18, 2016 at 2:13 PM -
Hexalan:
is that a number-of-successes/failures system?
Mar 18, 2016 at 2:14 PM -
Statboy:
sort of, it has hero points for when you just own something, that you can spend later to add die's to a future roll.
Mar 18, 2016 at 2:16 PM -
Statboy:
i just really like the idea that your abilities and skills aren't based on modifiers but die size
Mar 18, 2016 at 3:09 PM -
theLumberJack:
dark heresy is d100 like call of cthulu
Mar 18, 2016 at 3:09 PM -
theLumberJack:
as far as i can tell shadowrun is a bathtub full of d6s
Mar 18, 2016 at 3:09 PM -
theLumberJack:
dice pools -> number of successes/failures
Mar 18, 2016 at 3:11 PM -
theLumberJack:
i dont explicitly remember how dh creation went about
Mar 18, 2016 at 3:20 PM -
VaultBot: ... where the hell can i work with this sample size
Mar 18, 2016 at 3:20 PM -
theLumberJack:
so the more you have in a skill the more dice you throw at the gm
Mar 18, 2016 at 3:20 PM -
theLumberJack:
i mean roll
Mar 18, 2016 at 3:59 PM -
Statboy:
for firefly/serenity, you have a specific die size for each skill, ie rolling a d12 for a skill you're good at or a d4 for one you suck at. Hero points give a small amount of spendable die pool but always as a d6
Mar 18, 2016 at 3:59 PM -
Statboy:
there's no leveling or character creation. Its just the character as written
Mar 18, 2016 at 4:02 PM -
VaultBot: 2k is 2048 horizontal
Mar 18, 2016 at 4:02 PM -
theLumberJack:
i like the die idea
Mar 18, 2016 at 4:02 PM -
theLumberJack:
dislike the only characters as written
Mar 18, 2016 at 4:02 PM -
theLumberJack:
making a character and fleshing them out is one of my favourite things
Mar 18, 2016 at 4:41 PM -
Statboy:
one of the biggest turnoffs a lot of people have to tabletop rpg, is the shear volume of time needed for creation and leveling. Firefly just cuts that and, cuts much of the fighting to give you a quick rp game
Mar 18, 2016 at 5:30 PM -
VaultBot: ergo x-y must evaluate to zero
Mar 18, 2016 at 5:30 PM -
iExic: im back for the weekend. i know ive been gone for a while. and i will only be on on the weekends until summer
Mar 18, 2016 at 7:09 PM -
theLumberJack:
yeah that makes sense stat
Mar 18, 2016 at 7:10 PM -
theLumberJack:
so for it do you roleplay specific characters? or specific builds?
Mar 18, 2016 at 7:10 PM -
theLumberJack:
Like rp'ing Mal versus rp'ing suave space captain role
Mar 18, 2016 at 7:14 PM -
theLumberJack:
I'd be down for a system where I can say, "I'm playing this role, give me that progression sheet (or w/e)"
Mar 18, 2016 at 7:25 PM -
Statboy:
yah, that's how it works, you can be Mal, Jane or any of the characters from the show
Mar 18, 2016 at 7:33 PM -
iExic: is there any way kyrillon and i can give ourselves points to test things out
Mar 18, 2016 at 7:35 PM -
iExic: well so far i blew 400 points on weapons and none of them worked
Mar 18, 2016 at 7:43 PM -
VintagePC:

VintagePC:

Mar 18, 2016 at 7:54 PM -
iExic: yeah
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:00 PM -
VintagePC:
may be a moot point, I don't know if there's even a command to give points
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:00 PM -
iExic: moot?
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:01 PM -
VintagePC:
irrelevant point
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:01 PM -
VintagePC:
i.e. my joining to give points is irrelevant if there's no command to do so
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:01 PM -
iExic: ah ok
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:02 PM -
iExic: are you still joining
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:03 PM -
VintagePC:
still trying but I think I have another idea
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:03 PM -
iExic: ok
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:05 PM -
VintagePC:
how many points do you currently have?
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:05 PM -
iExic: 170
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:07 PM -
VintagePC:

VintagePC:

Mar 18, 2016 at 8:07 PM -
iExic: yeah i have the text hat
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:08 PM -
iExic: should i holster it
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:08 PM -
VintagePC:
unless I did this wrong, if you reconnect you should have a million points now
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:09 PM -
iExic: oh sick
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:10 PM -
iExic: it worked
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:10 PM -
iExic: anks
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:10 PM -
VaultBot: get to her homework

Mar 18, 2016 at 8:13 PM -
iExic: ok will do
