I very much dislike the final episode of Prodigy. We have a ship controlled by a bunch of kids, an admiral who should be in charge of any mission but this one, and timetravelling assassins.

It’s a great setup for literally anything but space fleet combat.

@JWBananas

@copacetic DnD is not the same as RPGs. The kind of mechanic was there long before DnD3. And only a few years later, we got Forge games that had radically different takes on resolution.

@Susaga

It's ONE system that works reasonably well for human like characters. There are dozens of others that do the same.

@DharmaCurious There is a DS9 episode where Lwaxana and a Bolian do what seems like parliamentary oversight. So I suppose they are.

@DharmaCurious

Bolarus has an operational bank (which Morn robbed) and Crusher pasys with Federation Credits in Mission Farpoint.

Also note that it’s called New Earth Economy. It’s earth that has no money.

@Lem453 There are cargo transporters and people transporters. The people transporters are more faithful. The replicators are more like cargo transporters. See “Heisenberg Compensator” https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Heisenberg_compensator

Look at all the gardening videos on YouTube. People love producing food. Even a rather small patch produces more of something than you can eat. (If you want to eat other things too)

The only thing non industrial local gardening won’t you give is consistency. When certain produce is ripe there suddenly is a lot, and then not. They might solve this with people grade transporters.

@DharmaCurious

@hallettj The replimat is probably free. They likely don’t set up account for every Skreea. It’s just the public replicator place.

@tissek From a PbtA perspective that would be weird. The game explicitly does away with situational modifiers.

You are of course free to use whatever circumstance to explain a good/bad roll thereafter.

I only mention this because you explicitly named the system.

@InverseTachyonBeam

The Vulcan rebels in In A Mirror Darkly used rings too. I find it unlikely they benefitted from Earth inventions.
