Question: Covid times, me and friends have to play online. Which is an issue when playing NCO as you need 2 colors types of dices and the usual platforms (Roll 20...) only offer 1 color per player. How would you deal with die throwing playing NCO online? Thanks!
I actually brought this up on the FB group around the time I made this. There is a way to do custom dice if you have a paid subscription and use the API. My Forbidden Lands character sheet does it, but I don't have the API nor would I know how if I did. :) For me, the easiest way would be for the player to roll the action dice and the GM to roll the danger dice. It gets rid of the player facing aspect, but I'm not married to that concept personally. Another way would be do just have the player make two rolls, one for action and one for danger. And a final way would be to reduce the number of action dice rolled by the penalty dice. That's kind of how FU did it I think. It definitely changes the odds, but is an option.
As a simulationist you are a fan of NCO. That's great to know. However, as a review what you are presenting here is more subjective than objective. Channel that simulationist and give us a quick description of the setting. Then tell us about the system. Tell us the various scenarios that this product could be used in. Finally give us the review (why is a simulationist a fan of this game). As a PS(Post Script) you might say what oracles you'd use and why if you were doing this solo. Remember, most people don't have time to watch a 2 hour playthrough. They just want the meat and some re-enforcing detail. I love the game and I can tell you do too. In the interest of making more fans I think being more concise would be helpful.
