[Jeu] Le sphinx à deux fêtes

Ce n'était qu'un rêve

On recherche un supplément.

Many sources of inspiration exist for [supplément] adventures. Take almost any action or adventure story from cinema, TV, comics, or novels, add a dash of mad science, mix well, and see what crawls out of the test tube.
Perhaps the most important thing to remember is adventures are usually driven by conflict. Standard literary conflicts include one person versus another, nature, or himself. Having the heroes noodle around building mad inventions at random can be fun for a while but soon grows tiresome unless it leads somewhere more, well, calamitous. For a one-off gag comic strip, there doesn’t need to be any real plot to speak of, but a roleplaying adventure usually needs tangible goals and probably a bad guy.

Atomic Robo ?

Atomic Robo ?

Non, ce n'est pas Atomic Robo.
Mais merci pour la référence, je ne connaissais pas cette BD.

Shtick (Easel) 1 point
Whenever you need to explain something complicated, an easel and board with suitable diagrams appears out of nowhere. A pointer also appears in your hand so you can indicate relevant information. These items disappear as soon as you have finished your explanation; they cannot be used for any other purpose.

Shtick ?
On parle de Toon ? Ça colle bien avec la description.
Mais je ne connais pas la gamme, donc ça s'arrêtera là de mon côté.

[Sylvestre]

Ou du Feng Shui ? (Je ne connais pas trop la gamme non plus(

Ah oui eux aussi utilisent des shtick mais le texte faisait tellement cartoon que j'ai pensé d'abord à toon.

Feng Shui, y aurait un peu plus de coups de savate contre des cyborgs devant une faille multidimensionnelle ouvrant sur l'enfer.

Ce n'est ni Toons, ni Feng Shui

Mais si on parle de l'enfer ...

Despite the ever changing scenery and random drifting of rock platforms, there are several significant locations in Hell.
Satan’s Throne
An elaborate, richly upholstered throne, decorated in a charming skulland skulland-horns motif, sits on one of the floating rocks. Satan herself is often found here, doing her day job: making sure everything is running smoothly in the underworld. Satan mostly delegates
tasks to demons and other minions since her position is largely managerial, but she takes a personal hand in torturing particularly deserving or interesting damned souls. It could be argued that sometimes she leaves the throne conspicuously empty just to tempt the more ambitious locals to tip their hands.

Le supplément est basé sur un webcomic (peu connu, je le reconnais ).
L'auteur du webcomic et un des personnages principaux du comic ont les même nom et prénom, habitent la même ville, ...
L'auteur du webcomic est plus connu pour d'autres oeuvres littéraires (à la base) plus récentes, ou la science joue aussi un rôle central.

MAD SCIENCE
A basic tenet of the [supplément] world is that science can do anything.
Not just anything that is possible, but anything that is even imaginable, as well as most of the things that aren’t. So you can shrink or enlarge matter, teleport stuff, turn invisible, travel through time or faster than light, duplicate anything instantly, erase people’s brains,
and so on.
The one restriction is that these things have to be done scientifically. You need to build a machine or gadget of some sort to do the hard work of breaking all those laws of nature. And once you’ve broken them, there will be scientifically logical consequences. You never
get something for nothing.

Je reconnais le supplément rien qu'avec ces indices. Même pas besoin de lire les textes. Bon, faut dire aussi que j'ai lu le webcomics en question, mais pas le supplément.

Il s'agit de GURPS Andy & Casey, basé sur le webcomics Andy & Casey, qui est hilarant, au moins dans mes souvenirs de l'époque. (Je ne vais même pas regarder de quand ça date, histoire de ne pas prendre un coup de vieux.) Je me souviens encore d'être triste qu'il s'arrête. L'auteur, Andy Weir, a ensuite écrit les livres de SF The Martian/Seul sur Mars, Artemis et Project Hail Mary/Projet dernière chance.

Quant à l'auteur du supplément GURPS, il s'agit de David Morgan-Mar, l'auteur de Irregular Webcomic!, principalement à base de Legos, qui a fait mentir son nom en étant publié régulièrement pendant des années, avant de s'arrêter l'année dernière. Il a aussi participé au webcomic sur Star Wars qui est encore en cours de publication, Darths & Droids.

Tout ça est dans mon feedly.
