Bulldogs

This is the thread for discussion of Bulldogs, rules questions pertaining to Bulldogs, or it's setting.

Re: Bulldogs

Love this game. My favorite Fate game until Atomic Robo came along. Wish the two I've played in had lasted longer.

Really like it too.  Believe that one of those Bulldogs games was mine from a few years ago.  Wish it had lasted longer myself.

Re: Bulldogs

Yeah, your name is familiar, Trollsmith. I played Ursula the scam artist in one game, and the android Tetra Vex in the other. Forget which one you ran. :)

The one with Tetra Vex.  A rather unforgettable character that one.

Re: Bulldogs

One of the neater builds, pre-FATE Core.

Chock full of usable ideas for any genre.

Re: Bulldogs

Yeah, love this game.  I think you can see some foundation for Fate Core in here.

I (sadly) feel I was one of those Bulldogs GMs who let his game die too soon. My apologies, I'm trying to decide if I have the capacity to start a game up, and Bulldogs (possibly Robo powered) would be on the short list.

Re: Bulldogs

I'm toying with the idea of a Fate or FAE "humanity on the run" game.  Somewhere between Battlestar Galactica and Farscape.  Still deciding if core or FAE fits better.

I bought Bulldogs during a Bundle of Holding sale; might give that a try as the ruleset.  I've really pleased with the Atomic Robo character creation rules, as well.  I've played Robo, but not Bulldogs.

Re: Bulldogs

Doccus, shadrack, let us know if you decide to run any of the described games. I know I'd be interested!

Re: Bulldogs

Well, 2015 was quite a ride :)  It looks like I'll have some time in 2016, so ...

I'll be starting up a Bulldogs game shortly.  Really *love* the new version (Fate Core) that I backed last year on Kickstarter.

http://www.rpgnow.com/product/...gs-Fate-Core-Edition

The print edition is not out yet.

They fleshed out the Fate core skills, added a way to have racial aspects via refresh (with custom races easily done), and added a new action type (Discovery) to the standard Attack, Defend, Overcome, and Create Advantage.

The ships rules are very easy, and could use some more "crunch" (IMO).  They departed a little bit from the standard fractal for ships, but they're still very flexible.

They have a standard option where the players are the crew of a ship, with an NPC captain.  They also have a rules outline for running a player-owned ship.

All in all, I'm super-glad I kickstarted it, even with the delays it experienced.
