Maccabe Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I remember the old DANGER INTERNATIONAL book having a section on Brownie Points. My question is, does anyone know where I can find such a Brownie Point system or it's equivalent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escafarc Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Re: Brownie Points Can you refresh my memory on what they did. I seem to remember something about using them to acquire extra equipment and favors from the organization you worked for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Re: Brownie Points Here's an old text file of mine that was a modified version for a WWII supers game I did: Pretty sure it wasn't a complete system and needed a whack from the GM occasionally. Service roll was for acquiring special equipment, promotions, getting info via the service. I'm pretty sure I modified it using Robot Warriors version as a base. Brownie points Important Enemy captured +2 Major Objective completed +2 Capture of Enemy prisoner +1 Good Review by Team Leader +1 Minor objective completed +1 Overcame unexpected resistance +1 Secret Info found +1 Secret Mission kept secret +1 Unauthorized action that worked +1 Failure of Minor Objective 0 Property Damage -1 to -3 Secret Info in enemy hands -1 Death of Team members -2 Failure of Main Objective -2 Team members captured -2 Damaged Famous/Important Property -3 Death of civilians -3 Unauthorized actions that failed -3 Death of many civilians -4 Death of prominent civilians -5 Team Leader +1/x2, Important mission +1/x2 +1 positive, x2 if negative Service roll = 8- plus Brownie point Mod + 1/2 Rank rounded down Service Roll Mod Brownies Mod -4 -3 -2 -2 -1 -1 0 0 1 1 2 2 4 3 8 4 Rank 1 Private 2 Private 1st Class 3 Corporal 4 Sergeant 5 Sergeant-Major 6 2nd Lieutenant 7 Lieutenant 8 Captain 9 Major 10 Lt.

lemming Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Re: Brownie Points I think for 6E version, I'd tie them into the Resource Point system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Re: Brownie Points Shelly Chrystal Mactyre elaborated Aaron Allston's Brownie Point system from Super-Agents for her excellent 4E PRIMUS sourcebook, still available from the Hero Games online store (and a bargain at $10.00 for over 100 pages).

Vondy Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Re: Brownie Points Brownie points have essentially been replaced by resource points. You could use them in tandem with it as one time resource points they can blow, or attach a roll to resource points and have brownie points be one time modifiers to the roll. On the other hand, you could do away with them and have quartermaster be a base roll modified by brownie points. Or some such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vondy Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Re: Brownie Points Brownie points were used for more than equipment. Resource points can be used for more than equipment! There are four categories of resource points. They include followers/contacts, and general perk usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
