I accidentally posted this in the forum issues forum somehow from my phone? A forum I never visit?
That was super weird.

This is happening at the comic con here tomorrow.
Speaking of, a movie was made by manipulating atoms. Smallest Movie world record.
I'd link it but I'm on my phone and can't be arsed.

HP is fine, and refinements such as fatigue points, morale points, body points, etc are all good.
Your problem is mostly with videogame animations or PnP descriptions: Someone gets shot in the head, or punched into the sun, and doesn't die, just takes X HP damage. That's rubbish, I agree.
HP are abstract - in my D&D game, a fight involves maybe two hits, the first when they're bloodied, the second when they're killed. The rest is all glancing blows, and smashing your shield, or even a near-miss that makes the character feel their luck is running out.
There are tons of HP variants, sure. But by HP I mean 'damage that is abstract and doesn't reduce effectiveness'.
If damage does reduce your effectiveness, first strike matters too much, just like in real life. It's not fun. It doesn't guarantee a win, but it increases the importance of first strike dramatically. White Wolf RPGs have that flaw, as great as they are. And it is fun to have a game about getting the first strike - I loved Bushido Blade too.
But HP work really well, so long as everyone understands they are abstract.
When you talk about systems without HP, what do you mean? Maybe I would think of those as HP variants.
That was on broadcast TV the other day. Lovin' the coked out Van Damme.
Haha that makes me think of an exchange I had at the pub
Waiter : Is your name Jean or Jacques? I forgot
Me : It's Jean
Waiter : Like Jean Claude Van Damme! I shall call you Van Damme from now on
Me : *laugh* If you wish!

Should have been more like,
It's friday. they're drunk. it's a thing.
They're drunk.
And yeah, I just read a story a few months ago of someone from said dive bar assaulting random people. It is just usually later at night. But eh, I am in now. My evil cat will now be on guard duty.
I blame the rain and finals next week.
where do you live?
it has kind of grown on me while the show has not
Actual Play: Mage: the Awakening - At the Edge of All Things
Ha ha ha ha
And just to be clear, I've lived in FAR shadier areas than this, but damnit, I wanna complain!!!:P
go grizz
go

go grizz
I think they have some demonic power because such a small thing should not be so goddamned impossible to manage/get on/get off. Also wearing them feels like being in power armor for some reason, what with the really strange sort of restricted movement but not really.
If you thought this post had too much information, be glad I am not Cass.
My university had a time every night during finals week where people would scream for about three minutes.
It was something, after a day of near desertion when everyone was studying.
i don't know seattle neighborhoods at all. it's like 10 pm on a friday night where you live. shouldn't you be out or something?
It was truly magical http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Prowly
So what your saying is a sports bra is your Black Carapace?
That's how it is in big towns. You're one block away from the shadiest of shady bars but you're 3 also blocks away from AWESOME bars.
I've learnt the hard way to avoid the ''pub'' closest to my place.
Lovin' the fact that you have an SNES.
Plok! is such an underrated game
Except I can take it off, thankfully :P
But god it's so weird wearing something so restrictive under a bunch of loose clothing.
Oh well. It's certainly interesting!
