Hate to bang on about this, but the game spreadsheet still seems to have Mission 5 numbers on it.
I know the LP and HP numbers are wrong, but I know what I have there. The other numbers, Iām forgetting what they should beā¦(I know I wrote them in my mission submission, but that was a while ago and I canāt pull that back up anyway)
Any chance itāll reflect our upgrades for Missions 6 and 7 before we go on said mission?
(were the upgrades for Mission 6 actually used in the calculations of the results? Is there another spreadsheet somewhere?)
Weāll get that fixed as soon as we can, certainly before anything else is calculated.

I have some FP / AR numbers in my notes from mission 3 last round:
Bertie Gomez - FP = 82 +20 vs vampires, AR = 112
Mike āNervousā Snelvuur - FP = 85 + 10 vs vampires, AR = 57
Maj. Joseph Talleyrand-LaRoche - FP = 62 + 10 vs vampires, AR = 45
Bubba Zanetti - FP = 77 + 10 vs vampires, AR = 59
Bill the BUM - FP = 82 + 20 vs vampires, AR = 117
Hopefully this info will make the round audit a little easier.

Upgrades for the last round of missions were in fact included in the calculations. I have those numbers (is there another spreadsheet? try several dozen moreā¦). I have refrained from just going in and making those adjustments in the player-visible sheet in case thereās something else I missed (which is very possible) but I think Iāll go ahead and just do that. And the current upgrades as soon as thatās all final.
And we do have all the previous form submissions, and your calculating of your stats in them is very useful. Iāll be able to check against that to make sure Iām doing it correctly for everybody else.
HP numbers are probably going to end up being wrong, but should be close enough. Iām pretty sure we can get the LPs right at least.
So sorry about this, a bit of a foul-up behind the scenes.

I should have 30 LP, if it helps. 15 left after equipping for Mission 6 after my windfall from Dorcas, 15 in pay.
HP, Iāll go with what Bill says.

Iām awfully sorry, guys, for the dreadful delay, and for being incommunicado all this time.
If youāll still have me (and I canāt blame you if you wonāt), we continue at the usual thread. Actual substance forthcoming in the next day or so.

I know this came up some months ago, but I donāt know if anyoneās made any progress on it or not. Then again, Iām sure this is precisely the sort of thing for which the internet itself was created and (some say) perfected, but if it exists, I remain woefully ignorant.
The Badass game first came to light using what must be a fairly standard RPG mechanicā¦ kinda like a stripped-down GURPS sorta thing, simplified to the point where we all knew what to do with it. Part of Patās genius (a small part indeed of the impressive whole) was making the bar to entry so low: pick a species, name your ship and skipper, and decide if youād rather be lucky, fast, or tough. He rolled for stats, and the rest of the character creation was left entirely up to the players, and the combat rounds were beautifully simple as well. It was a perfectly enjoyable gem of a game.
When starting Badass Dragons of the Wasteland, I had mistakenly thought it might be beneficial to add complications. That didnāt go so well. The game didnāt need it; all the imaginative curlicues should be added by the players (a fact which my stalwart players tried in vain to hammer into my thick skull from the beginning).
I think the best advance we could make toward Badass-type games hereabouts would be to automate (as much as possible) the crunch of the game. Again, Iām sure it exists somewhere already (probably in seventeen million different versions), but even if we never get one tailor-made for Discourse, we could really use a GURPS-esque generic RPG interface.
There already exists a domain: badassdragon dot com, provided for the last game by @kingannoy, though itād be entirely up to him to decide if it should be committed to this purpose longer than it already has.
You guys know what weād need. A customizable but still simple RPG interface for stat entry and combat calculation. Something where the GM could specify how many different stats are applicable, name them, roll them, and use them for combat calculations. Enemies (whether mobs or bosses) should be similarly easy and quick to name, outfit, and roll. Ideally, players should be able to purchase armor, weapons, and upgrades, and select their missions, and maybe change their mind and revert to a prior state and redo their choices before the deadline. Upon the deadline, the site should roll all the combat and present the results in a reasonably easy-to-understand fashion. This frees the GM from the crunch and allows her to play up the fluff, which is sort of the strength of this community after all.
Players would be able to log in, view everyoneās stats and resultsā¦ maybe there could be a toggle option to have hidden inventory that other players could not see. Trades and purchases should be possible between players, within reason.
Anyone know where we can find a template like this? Failing that, is anyone here up to building one?
