FTL D6, Spears + Polls (Patreon)

Alright everyone, we've been talking about this for a while, and finally we've got a first test version of FTL using D6's available for you. As discussed before, this change is being done as a test to see if we can get the game to feel less like a math exam and more like a fun spaceship battle with lots of "pew pew".

Here's the gist of the changes:

• Weapons now have an attack value instead of an accuracy value, so you roll as many dice as attacks, and for each hit the target takes 1 damage.
• Ships now hit based on the target's size. Bigger targets are hit on 2+, same sized target son 3+, and smaller targets on 4+.
• Weapons now have multiple attacks, with most weapons having 2, whilst some like blast weapons only have 1 attack, and others like relentless weapons have 3 attacks.
• What a target is hit it now tries to score its defense value to block hits, and a weapon's strength gives a negative modifier (much like AP from the other games).
• Ship upgrades now take 3 damage to be disabled, and squadrons are now destroyed with 3 damage as well. Armor plating takes 4 damage to be disabled.
• All ships, upgrades, weapons and special rules have been modified to reflect these changes, however only the ones from the core rules for now.

That's it, pretty simple actually. We're going to have to extensively test this system now, and see if it feels good as it is, or if it requires more tweaking. If you want to get a game in with us on Roll20 or TTS that would be great, then we can test together!

Note that we still haven't made a final decision on switching to D6 yet, so things are open for changes. In any case, if we do decide to switch to D6, then we're going to take the current 2D6 system and apply it to a modified version of Orion's Gate, so it will still remain available for you to play. But again, no final decisions have been made yet.

Post Quantity Poll

Over the past few months we've had a lot of new supporters join our Patreon, and some of them have complained that we make too many posts, which unfortunately means that they get a lot of automated Patreon e-mails in their inbox.

So, we'd like to hear your opinion, do you like the amount of posting we do? Do you think it's too much? Do you think it's too little? Let us know!
