Sci-Fi Companion Playtest Extension

[Mike Serfass]

I run primarily sci-fi campaigns, so I've been looking forward to the SWADE SFC for years (literally).
It will be roughly another year before we have the SFC companion mod in FGU.
If you're as excited about the SFC as I and my players are, you want to get to playtesting it now.
To that end, I created a temporary pre-release extension.

This is TEMPORARY, as in, when the official SFC module and extension are released, this one will be retired.
This extension DOES NOT and will not contain any information from the SFC. No edges, no star knight, no new powers, no vehicles.

What this extension does have is:

• Strain limit and strain max derived stats on the player character sheet
• Enables bases and cyberware
• New fields on the vehicle sheet
• -title/class for heavy metal
• -energy
• -wounds max and current
• -shields max and current

This should give you a start on playtesting the SFC in FGU. Hopefully this also helps whoever gets the job of converting the SFC.
I'll add more features as the SFC is released and matures and my group play tests the SFC and this extension.
Here are some images of the changes:

Excellent! I was talking to Doswelk after reading the walker preview, this is going to be necessary in SWADE in future, vehicles are getting their much need attention.

Sorry about that! I forgot to click on the List button. I think I've clicked all the required buttons now.

Much appreciated Mike.

I did some work on this extension. Here are the recent updates to the SFC playtest extension.

Electronics was added as a weapon type. This allows you to set starship weapons like torpedoes and missiles to Electronics easily.

I added a damage section to the vehicle page. This allows you to track damage resulting from battles, like hull hits, engines destroyed, weapon damaged, life support offline.

I added increase / decrease buttons to Task Tokens for ease of use. The buttons appear when you have enough tokens to use that option.
I added buttons for the various options available in a Clash.
There's some basic automation on the Clash buttons. They decrement Token counts, put a message in chat, and two of them roll the appropriate maneuvering skill.

These changes were submitted to the Forge and is awaiting approval.

I plan to add more automation to the Clash buttons and actions. I'm figuring out how much automation is possible, and I'll add as much as I can.
Aside from Clashes, tokens are used for other things, like hacking / netrunning and prediction. I'd like to incorporate those into the Task section.
There are other various rules, like soaking damage with shields, soaking with a maneuvering roll, concentrated fire, using a starship as a base.
The SFC adds more options and features than the previous companions, so there's lots to do.
