Line 1: {{work}} [[File:~~AdEva3_4897~~AdEva3 4897.jpg\|~~link=Adeptus Evangelion\|right~~frame]] '''Adeptus Evangelion''' is a ''[[Dark Heresy]]'' modification designed to run games in the world of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. Symbolism, [[Mind Rape]] and [[Assimilation Plot\|humanity getting turned into]] [[Memetic Mutation\|Tang]] [[Blatant Lies\|not included]]. [http://www.mediafire.com/?ue47q05u115e97i ''Adeptus Evangelion'' v2.5 can be downloaded here],and the GM-only supplement ''REDACTED'' [http://www.mediafire.com/?9labe9i9i6g0z40 can be downloaded here]{{Dead link}}. There is also an offshoot, the ''Borderline Edition'', which [http://www.mediafire.com/?7s1i1mwhajx5fy7 can be downloaded here]{{Dead link}}. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130113022152/http://s4.zetaboards.com/adeva/index/ And the support forum can be found here.] ~~=== The game provides examples of: ===~~ ---- {{tropelist}} * [[Ace Custom]]: The Concept Model trait for the Evangelions. It starts with two free upgrades but costs two collateral damage when it enters battle because of the cost of replacement parts. * [[Adaptation Expansion]] and [[Alternate Continuity]] — Game Masters are encouraged to expand on the story and mythos as they please (and to throw a curveball at those who have seen the anime). ** It also includes elements from the various ''Evangelion'' video games, namely the Jet Alone Prime and T-RIDEN-T Land Cruiser. * [[The Alleged Car\|The Alleged Evangelion]]: The Player's Evangelion if the player rolls poorly. It can be made by the lowest bidder or held together by duct tape (they're on the same table so it can't be both), have [[High-Pressure Blood\|pressurized blood that squirts everywhere]], lose bolts in battle that destroy nearby buildings, have a fractured mind, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking\|be colored Neon Green.]] * [[And I Must Scream]] - This can occasionally happen to pilots. If your Eva is defeated, there's a chance that your entry plug will fail to eject, leaving you stranded in the middle of a battlefield... and you can probably still feel whatever it was that incapacitated your mech. * [[Artifact Title]] - The name "Adeptus Evangelion" referred to the fact that the game used the same system as ''[[Dark Heresy]]''. The dev team has announced they will be abandoning this system when releasing v3 (though they are simultaneously releasing a 2.5 version that will use the DH system), but are keeping the title because it is recognizable. * [[Attack Its Weak Point]] - As in [[Neon Genesis Evangelion\|The]] [[Rebuild of Evangelion\|Series]] attacking an Angels core with a critical can cause it to explode and cause masses of collateral. * [[Awesomeness Is Volatile]] - Synch ratio, which can change when you get hurt. [[More Dakka\|More=better]], at least until you go [[Rank Inflation\|above 100%]] at which point it [[Deadly Upgrade\|starts to]] eat your soul alive. Then you pass [[Up to Eleven\|200%]] and essentally attain the [[Reality Warper\|power]] of [[Physical God\|god]]. In less than five minutes, you will collapse into [[Mythology Gag\|Tang]]. It is sure to be a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], and a [[Dying Moment of Awesome]]. Line 24 ⟶ 25: *** Also played with, Pallet Guns are woefully ineffectual since they just fire Battelship shells that are easily deflected. * [[BFS]] - If you get enough Weapon Upgrades you can get a Progression Sword. * [[Character Shill]] - ''[REDACTED]'' features rules for a thirty second advertisement produced by the party. The Supplement seems to expect the worst ... * [[Chunky Salsa Rule]] - With organic [[Humongous Mecha]]. Needless to say, the results are ~~NOT~~''not'' pretty. This IS''is'' a ''[[Dark Heresy]]'' conversion, after all. * [[Crazy Enough to Work]] - A feat available to AT Tactician's is called this. It involves using ridiculously dangerous AT abilities in intricate ways. * [[Duct Tape for Everything]]. The only thing keeping the Patchwork Eva together. Line 41 ⟶ 42: * [[Hilarity Ensues]] - In the new GM supplement you can have the players hold a dance competition starring the Evangelions, have a sports match with the Evangelions, or have the pilots create a 30 second commercial for a sponsor. ** The dance competition one has actually happened in at least one campaign that ''doesn't'' use the supplement. Said game also had a pop idol pilot's EVA backup dancing for her. * [[It Runs Onon Nonsensoleum]] - The scientists haven't really figured out what an A.T. field actually ''is''. * [[Ludicrous Gibs]] - In the manual, there are 8 consecutive pages of critical hit tables ''and nothing else''. Then there is one page with a short paragraph about how angels respond differently to critical damage than Evangelions (since Angels lack pilots), and then there are 8 more pages of critical hit tables. Some of the entries are things like "your Evangelion's head explodes so violently it becomes shrapnel and damages anyone else nearby." * [[Mecha Expansion Pack]] - In addition to the standard B-Type armour you can also equip your Evangelion with A-Type (Aerial combat), C-Type (Deep sea combat), D-Type (Magma combat, like the one Asuka used against Sandolphon) and E-Type (Outer Space combat). Line 47 ⟶ 48: * [[Mundane Utility]] - Using the Evas for a Dance Competition, or for sports. Supposedly it's to get more data on Synch Ratios but really? * [[Nerf]] - many things were nerfed and buffed in version 2.5. Skirmishers are less of a [[Game Breaker]], AT Powers aren't as expensive, making the AT Tatician less useless, and the [[Story-Breaker Power]] Dirac Breach was severely nerfed. * [[No Endor Holocaust]] - Averted HARD. There's a whole system of subsidiary damage called "Collateral Damage", and it reflects just how badly the surrounding terrain is screwed up after the fighting is ~~over -- the~~over—the higher it is, the less system upgrade points you get as a result, as your organization spends more and more of its budget on fixing the damage. Taken to its extreme with Jet Alone; its Nuclear Powered trait means that if it takes critical damage to the body, there's a 50% chance (5 or less on a D10) that it'll melt down. It does no physical damage, and it stops Jet Alone but the players inflict 100 Collateral Damage on the battlefield. Jet Alone Prime, meanwhile, goes off almost exactly like an N2 Mine, thanks to having an N2 Reactor. * [[One Hit KO]] - Averted using the Fate Point system. In any situation where the pilot would die, they can permanently sacrifice one of their fate points for a miraculous survival. Angels can do this too, so you can't win with a single lucky shot. * [[Power Gives You Wings]] - One of the uses of an S2 Organ in V2.0 is a set of six insectile wings that allow you to fly. * [[Properly Paranoid]] - The "Paranoid" asset. Yes, asset. Not drawback. * [[Spell My Name ~~With~~with an "S"]]: The A.T. Fields are termed "Absolute Territory" fields in the handbook, as opposed to the opening of the show which hints they should be called "Absolute Terror" fields. The justification the book gives is that Angels use the A.T. field to define what space they can influence the laws of physics in, while humans use a much weaker A.T. field to define the body they house their soul in. ** [[Suspiciously Specific Denial\|Co-incidently]], [[Shinji and ~~Warhammer 40 K~~Warhammer40K]] (which the game took some inspiration from) also refers to it as this. * [[Splat]] - Background and Career. Each background is based on one of the main characters; as well as all but one career ** '''Neo-Spartan''': [[Tyke Bomb\|Neo-Spartans have been trained in combat and piloting since a very young age]], taking the time to learn to use a large number of weapons. They are defined by their roles as warriors and pilots. [[Blood Knight\|There is nothing else for them]]. Line 66 ⟶ 67: * [[There Are No Therapists]]: AVERTED! However they can only help you so much. Made more useful in 2.5, where now you can either reduce insanity by 3 points/month or drop it down to the nearest multiple of 10 (from 68 to 60, 99 to 90, so on). So now Insanity is less of a one-way street, but it takes a while to recover. * [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: Referenced by the Borderline Edition in their description of the Linear Rail Accelerator Cannon: {{quote\| When new, experimental technology proves to be wildly successful as a weapon, the most natural progression is to then build the biggest gun one can possibly make out of it. The simply named "Linear Rail Accelerator Cannon" is just that; a heavy weapons platform borne out of mankind's instinctive desire to push the limits of practicality in the name of overkill.}} * [[Too Awesome to Use]]: Anything that needs you to burn fate points. You are permanently deprived of a fate point that could have saved you from death later on, and it's hard to earn new ones. * [[Total Party Kill]]: The Mass Production Evangelions and Keter, from the [REDACTED] supplement, seem to be ''designed'' to do this. * [[Tournament Arc]]: This is possible in the GM supplement as well. * [[Traveling At the Speed of Plot]] -The Evangelion Carrier Plane literally has a listed speed of "As the plot demands". * [[You Didn't Ask]]: ''Weaponized'' by the Operations Directors; some of their talents specifically rely on the other people not asking what they have been up to. One of them allows them to show up in person to save one of the other [[PC~~\|PCs~~]]s as long as they haven't done anything location-specific in the last 10 minutes; another allows them to modify one of the city's buildings into a rocket-turret structure, and neglect to mention ''which'' building until he decides to use it, at which point it is retroactively decided that he had picked that building ahead of time. {{reflist}} {{Neon Genesis Evangelion}} [[Category:Tabletop Games]] [[Category:Adeptus Evangelion]] [[Category:Tabletop ~~Game~~Games]] [[Category:Fan Works]]
