Calico JesseBeen thinking about my future Outlaws campaign. I think my “Stars of Destiny” will have three states. Contact: Might help the group if it’s not risky or if they get something in return.Allies: Will help, unlocks a bonus or ability when the group is operating in their territory. Outlaws: Joins the group in their hideout, unlocks a bonus or crew upgrade or hideout upgrade. Still not certain what the base game will be. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TTRPG</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/OutlawsOfTheMarsh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OutlawsOfTheMarsh</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GMPrep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GMPrep</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/BitD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BitD</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/BladesInTheDark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BladesInTheDark</a>

Calico JesseI pitched my idea of <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/OutlawsOfTheMarsh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OutlawsOfTheMarsh</a> using <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/BladesInTheDark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BladesInTheDark</a> to my group, but they prefer a more trad core system.So now I’m looking to take a more <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/NSR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NSR</a> style game and add some of the Blades ideas into it. Definitely a crew/hideout sheet for upgrades and such. Probably some sort of mission/downtime play cycle. And I’m definitely going to track heat for them.The question is what core to use. Maybe Black Sword Hack, <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Nimble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nimble</a>, or Index Card Rpg. Or maybe I just hack <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Talislanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Talislanta</a> 4e.<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TTRPG</a>

Some ideas include:All crew/hideout upgrades come from recruiting a hero into the stronghold. Contacts that become allies have an ability while they are agents, and if the heat gets too high and they become outlaws they give a different ability to improve the stronghold.Every hero needs a name and a nickname. Tracking not just overall heat, but also heat in each county.<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TTRPG</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/StoryGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StoryGames</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/FitD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FitD</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/OpenGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenGaming</a>
