2 Optional Rules: Making NFA challenges cost Threat and Failures act first
Making NFA challenges cost Threat So, our 3:16 game had this problem. Which is that the GM loved to call for NFA rolls. Sometimes, he puts consequences on NFA rolls that impacted the combat game, such as taking away a soldier’s gun. This got to be a serious problem when it resulted in our squa[...]
Carnage on the Reik
In this thread I post all the stuff I’ve done to hack 3:16 so that it is suitable for the Warhammer Fantasy setting. I hope some people will be interested in working with me on this hack. I have lowered the kills the various weapons do to keep in line with the grim and gritty nature [...][...]

3:16 Mission Variants by Mythholder
Letters from Home: A mail pod catches up with the 3:16th, containing letters and recorded messages from home. Who would write to the PCs? What family or friends do they have back home? Are the letters from home censored? What’s life like back on Terra? Do the PCs send replies back? The Unit: If a [...]

20 new 3:16 Alien Abilities by Mythholder
Some new abilities I came up with when playing… 1. Overwhelm The aliens move swiftly and decisively, targeting the weakest foes. PCs cannot cancel their own successes to cause the aliens to fail. 2. Chestburster: If the aliens injure a PC, they lay eggs in his chest. Between encounters, the GM may[...]

Let's Read – Pt. 4 by Lazarus
b. Planets (cont’d) The chapter concludes with descriptions of the lists of planet types, creature types, and creature abilities. I’m a little disappointed that some of the abilities seem to do the same thing (Armour lets you ignore kills once per encounter, and Ignore Wounds costs a Th[...]

Let's Read – Pt. 3 by Lazarus
5. Flashbacks The heart of the system. Only gets 4 pages. It only /needs/ 4 pages. Essentially, a Strength is an auto-win, except you can’t Strength a Strength, and a Weakness trumps a Strength. A Weakness is an auto-loss. The book harps on this. You use a Weakness, you LOSE. Not even draw. L[...]

3. Character Creation This game holds itself to be a game of discovery about the characters, so we define (and thus know) only a little bit about them before the game starts. We know their Name, their Reputation (a phrase describing the character). We know their two abilities, Fighting and Non-Fight[...]

Let's Read – Pt.1 by Lazarus
Picked up 3:16 today, since it looks like a very cool science fiction indie game, and I love it when my FLGSes have indie games. So, I’ll go through it with all y’all and share my thoughts as I read. I’ve done this before for Savage Worlds: Explorer’s Edition and found that [...]

"Boss" monster by Bailywolf
It’s kind of fiddly and I haven’t used it much in play, but I do want to protect the kittens so here you go. I call it the “Gigantic” alien special ability: The alien is very, very big and only dies if you hit it very, very hard. Assign Threat Tokens to the encounter as [...][...]
