Advice needed! Making a D&D campaing based on Lobotomy Corp.
Hi Reddit! I was playing Lobotomy Corp and started thinking how cool it could be to make a roleplay campaing on this universe.
When I told the idea to my friends they relealed me that this was just the first game, that there's more games, comics, books and A LOT of lore. And this only made me want to build this campaing even more!
The idea is an adventure in the perpective of the agents, mostly like Wonderslab comic.
The story happens on Lobotomy Corp. So is between the Smoke war and before the fall of Lobotomy Corp.
So mostly the moment on the history where the game Lobotomy Corporation and the Comic Wonderlabs happen.
All the other games, comics, etc came after the fall of Lobotomy Corp so at the time of this story didn't happened yet.
And so, I started making the character sheet:
Instead of the usual 6 main stats of DND, I'm using the 4 main stats of LC.
Fortitude, prudence and Justice increase HP, SP and speed just like the game.
For temperance I added MP to use habilities or exange for stuff, so having more temperance makes them more "efficient" we can say?
Slots for EGO weapon and armor, and extra slot for non-EGO secondary weapon (inspired by the comic) plust 5 slots for anomaly gifts.
NOW! here's where I need advice.
On dnd you usually define your personality, faction, race, class, etc... And this gives you all your abilities.
On this campain I'm using:
- District. For example this one comes from [H] so it has claustrofobia, and a permanent mutation caused by Boluses that can use as skill with MP.
- Past. For example this one is a civilian from the Nest, and on district H civilians can have an insurance to be revive as long as the head remains intact.
- Titles, like the ones used on lobotomy corp also boosting stats.
And I would like to add one more customization to they have more freedom making their characters but I have no idea, and I don't know enought from the universe of Project moon.
Two of the possible players from this campain are big fans of this universe and I don't want to dissapoint them.
Powers by distorsions are not a thing since that comes after the fall of Lobotomy corp, and there's no "races" on this world since so far I found "human" and "bloodfriend". But bloodfriend would be an "Past" of [P] District 16, so I need some ideas.
One idea I had is department bonuses, even if they're all on the same departent, allow them to choose one of the bonus of each department of the game, but the idea sounds weird.
If this 4th option could add more skills would be great, since that would make Temperance more "efficient" and the experience will be more D&D.
GREAT MINDS! ASSEMBLE!
