Out of Character Chatter
Re: Out of Character Chatter
Oh, believe me, this is what roleplaying is all about!
I haven't had the chance to put it in the RP, but I've decided Chevy doesn't think much of Tech-Wizards. Thinks they cheat by mixing magic with machines.
We'll need to decide whether to use the corebook's less-than-stellar Chase rules, or one of the variant mechanics out there.

Also worth noting that you could win another vehicle out of this.
We both have bennies for a reason, but yours outnumber mine... (no one has awarded the GM a benny yet )

Also, cheating is a matter of perspective. Magic practitioners tend to believe that magic is superior to technology in every way (it isn't) and tend to be at least inwardly arrogant about it.

Re: Out of Character Chatter
Well the blue D-Bees are from the One Sheet adventures, and thus far I've only read through the first one. I should probably read through the rest soonish.
The slug goop is something from one of the first games I ever played back in high school, though I'm using it in a different way. I've come up with multiple ideas for what it could do and how it could effect things, but I'm making decisions about it as needed. When Chevy rolled a critical fail I figure that was a good time to make a decision and start incorporating it.

I did not realize the slug encounter was not part of the One Sheet. I don't recall the mechanism for awarding the GM bennies but what you just mentioned sounds worthy of award to me.

Re: Out of Character Chatter
Every player has one benny they can't spend but can award to anyone else who thy think deserves it for whatever reason. I've had players award me bennies before, that's always fun because it means I'm doing a good job.
The combat was part of the one sheet, but the ley line storm and its effects, including the slugs, were all incorporated as original material. One sheets tell you when a fight happens and how many NPCs are involved but don't tend to elaborate on anything else. It become up to the GM to determine terrain and environment. I deliberately gave players the option of cleaning up before going through the rift (highlighted in red) and decided it would be too late once passed through, though when transporting wounded time is of the essence players could have effectively quickly rinsed off (even by driving through a deep puddle). Also, the events in the rift, while a fun experiment with game mechanics, are partially to justify your characters not initially noticing the goop disappearing.
I've skimmed ahead to the next three one sheets (up to the fourth of five adventures) and due to the circumstances of the story and greater board continuity I may put us in to the second one sheet early. Not sure yet.

I'm just creating her as I go, but I enjoy Terra's character.
Maybe a dramatic task where the modifiers are the difference between skills? So if Terra has a d10 and Chevy has a d8, Chevy suffers a -2 penalty (which is the baseline for dramatic tasks)?

He's not quitting but he's way too busy for a few weeks (over a month in total) so we're suspending his character, but we've picked up two more!
He plans on playing again soonish, but I didn't want to hold the game up.
In the mean time we have a Crazy Psi-Stalker and a Fallen Cyber Knight joining our ranks.

Re: Out of Character Chatter
Quick question for everyone.
Our boss has offered us "something extra" for all the stuff we found on our mission. Correct me if I am wrong but I am guessing it will not be a particular item of request but more of a nature of the boon.
Does everyone want to have a RP meeting for the discussion or would you all just like to compile a list for me to shoot the GM as a PM for him to decide the best reward?

Re: Out of Character Chatter
The chance to do some RP'ing is always appealing. Question is how amenable it is to our illustrious GM for us to spend time indulging in it.
if it does happen, I have to warn you that while I as a player have no problem with it, in-character Chevy will complain about the two new guys being involved, seeing as how they didn't do any of the work to earn it. That should inspire some RP right there.

Re: Out of Character Chatter
RPing it is absolutely fine with me. If you guys are having fun I'm doing my job, and if you guys are taking the initiative then my job becomes very easy.
The new players weren't on the payroll for the first mission but if it's something that benefits the team as a whole then it may benefit them as well. The bonus/boon should be somehow related to what you guys found, even if it's just credits to spend. Credits is easiest, but maybe not the most fun and maybe not what your character are actually interested in.
Theoretically, all of your finds combined are worth well over 300 million credits to the tomorrow legion. That's not something that the Legion is prepared to pay off a percentage of in a lump sum. A crystal ball from a brain tree alone is worth upwards of 250 million credits (the garden of legendary herbs is by far the most valuable find). You guys also found a buried shipment that contains unknown valuables, some of which are diamonds, and a couple of beached military watercraft. That's all I recall off the top of my head that's of value to the Legion (let me know if there's anything else I'm forgetting).

It's either going to be Egil for trying to make friends, or Chevy for the sick burn.
Also, in light of the way things have gone ... i thought this might get a laugh.

Re: Out of Character Chatter
Wohoo! I was worried we had lost you. I was going to inquire about putting your character on hold tonight. Glad you're still in!
Also, since you've been gone we've started a fairly active freeform RP where all the characters can interact in the 'Outskirts' of Castle Refuge at the bottom of the board. It's entirely optional, but we're having fun there and it looks like it may develop in to something more than a bar hang out. There have been whispers of a murderthon and of a grand melee tournament.
Also, Egil can have a roll on the adventure deck. That was hilarious and in Rifts the rolls and narrative often outweigh the need for scientific realism. Well done!
FYI all, this is where we currently stand for experience. Have I been neglecting Zima or Leonidas? You guys have a much lower post rate than most others. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help improve on that or if you're happy with the amount of participation you've been getting, sometimes it's tricky to show all my players equal love.

I'm ready to start taking care of the research as soon as Spellweaver is. We could RP it, or do some dice rolls and have a dramatic interlude with whatever player characters are involved. We need to get the problem solved before we can dispatch again. I was hoping to be able to start the new mission in the next week or two.

Which characters do players feel could assist on this? Do your characters have skills or connections that could be valuable in the mission? Do your characters have old friends or people they worked for who might be able to help?
We'll be doing a collaborative dramatic interlude and skipping ahead an appropriate amount of time in the story (anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, whatever is appropriate).
Once we figure out which characters can contribute what we'll structure it, either for one event to take place after another, or for several characters to be working simultaneously in their own areas with everything coming together at the end. Remember, as this is a dramatic interlude (of sorts) you can get a little creative with your character's as of yet unwritten histories in order to make your character relevant to participate.
Examples could include (not limited to):
Do you have friends in Lazlo/Manistique Imperium/Russia/Europe/Spirit West who might have some knowledge of trans-dimensional magic, ley line storms, or biologically based magic?
Do you know who knows a guy who knows a way to the Libraries of Bletherad?
Does a technowizard in Kingston/Lazlo/elsewhere owe you a favor?
Did you do a job for a knowledgeable client who might help you out in exchange for a favor?
Is there someone you have been avoiding, but who might be able to help the group if you can bring yourself to make contact? (awkward relative, bully from your younger years, friend you had a falling out with, etc...)
Have you heard rumors of a lost device/book that might be helpful, but you need the help of someone/people in the group to retrieve it? (hidden in a dragon's hoard, captured by the Coalition, forgotten in a town that has been over run by the Xiticix, etc...)
Do you just have skills that could help and would like to try some research/experiments of your own (possibly with someone else's assistance)?
Get some ideas for your characters in here by Friday, and feel free to collaborate if you want to work together with/borrow another player's character for your dramatic interludes (provided all players concerned agree to lend their characters).
Feel free to contribute ideas for other potential dramatic interludes that characters both magically and not magically inclined could get involved in.

Re: Out of Character Chatter
As part of Chevy's background, he has a relationship with a Black Market Expeditor who he has "done business" with in the past.
It's the kind of relationship that sparks conversations such as "this better not be like that deal in Kenosha; I almost didn't make it out of there in one piece".

Re: Out of Character Chatter
Glad to get some of our less magicy characters involved, like I said feel free to be creative about connections and histories to get in on it.
Also, as Spellweaver was placed in charge of solving the issue characters should come to him with suggestions about how they might contribute, then he can organize them.
Feel free to coordinate about it OOC either here or in one of the chats. If anyone isn't in either the FB chat and should be (not all have Facebook) let me know.
Also, Google Hangouts is what pretty much every other group on the board uses. We have our GH here:
https://hangouts.google.com/group/6oWmK70EmgncuJn23
As a note, the characters currently affected are Zima (Glitter Boy), Chevy (APC), Leonidas (armor), and I think AwkTch(scales?).

Correct on AwkTek and his scales.
AwkTek has no other connections. He will gladly follow Weaver around watching and asking questions.

Egil also has connections to the black market and has sold some magical items to them from time to time. No magical knowledge himself but he is always willing to get inside someones head and help out (via Boost Trait).
He'd also do a taste test on any PPE residue the slugs may have left.

Re: Out of Character Chatter
Just a couple of things to make sure I've got everything squared away.
Just to clarify on the bennie situation. The base is 3 + I get one extra from a F&G roll + 1 that I can award to anyone else but not use myself. Correct?
Also, do I go ahead and make an entry in the EP Ledger now?
Any other new player stuff I missed?
Thanks!

Re: Out of Character Chatter
Start Session (April 1st) with 3 bennies. You however have: Fortune Favors the Bold: Your hero begins with the Brave Edge. He also begins each session with one additional Benny. So you are 4/4 bennies. I may be wrong but....I believe you can only use bennie, not give it away. Don't quote me on that.Radecliffe wrote:Just a couple of things to make sure I've got everything squared away.

You may be awarded bennies by GM but if you use all up next Session starts, July 1st I think.

Re: Out of Character Chatter
That would work if your low initiative were due to a card draw, but it's due to your critical fail on your notice check. Regardless of what card you drew you ended up at the bottom because Ulrich was entirely oblivious to any developing situation. I could have theoretically given you a different penalty for the critical fail, something like you failed to notice a 'check engine/oil/fuel level' light, but ultimately that would have been far more detrimental to your character and may have entirely removed you from the fight.Ulrich wrote:OOC Comments

Re: Out of Character Chatter
Probably something I should have double checked before but I want to be sure before I mess around and try to shoot anything. The Turret weapon I'm manning is the heavy laser, correct? When/if I get around to shooting at something from the Bop I don't want to accidentally, you know, blow someone up I didn't mean to.

I looked extensively through the rules to find out how turrets are handled and didn't find anything so, yes, for all intents and purposes both weapons have 360° fire arc.

I don't think there are hard rules for it. Until another player/GM points out that it's wrong I'll function under the assumption that they are capable of 360 degrees if they are being properly manned or if the pilot has an ability/training to be able to drive and control weapons at the same time. Otherwise they would be locked in position unless the driver stopped and took time to aim.

Or performed a multi-action with the corresponding penalty.

Re: Out of Character Chatter
for the third time today, please keep purely OOC posts here... *fake exasperated eye roll*AwkTech wrote:OOC I would figure AwkTek would actually be bigger than the Bop.
According to TLPG:
Mountaineer is size 5
Hatchlings are size 6
So you would be right, however I couldn't find base sizes for each size rating, so I looked at the actual sizes listed and...
According to TLPG Hatchlings are 15-20 feet from snout to tail tip. (rounded to 6 yards)
TLPG doesn't have a measurement for Mountaineer, so I refereed to RUE which lists it as 25 feet (7.6 m) long. (rounded to 8 yards)
Hence me asking you guys to provide measurements for your characters/vehicles, because looking all that up and doing the conversions was a pain.

Re: Out of Character Chatter
If AwkTech takes that line of approach at a flying pace of 12 it will take forever to get in range. Did you forget to check the notes about scale? At 12 pace it will take 4 turns to cross a large hex (I assume you can roll 1d12 for 'running' while flying as well, but that's not reliable). You'd probably be wiser to either engage from range or hitch a ride on the Bop.
Remember for movement and burst templates:
1 pace = 1 inch = 2 yards movement
1 hex = 4 yards = 2 pace = 2 inches
1 large hex = 24 hexes in diameter = 96 yards = 48 pace
1 large hex = 12 hexes along one side = 48 yards = 24 pace
• Cone Templates are 9” (4.5 hexes) long and 3” (1.5 hexes) wide at their widest point.
• Large Burst Templates are 6” (3 hexes) in diameter.
• Medium Burst Templates are 4” (2 hexes) in diameter.
• Small Burst Templates are 2” (1 hex) in diameter.

Re: Out of Character Chatter
Also worth noting, the Bop's optimal speed is 352 yards/round.
352 = 176 pace = 3.7 large hexes
That being said you probably can't drive at optimal speed unless on a well paved highway. Cut that speed in half on rough terrain, and much much slower again if you plan on going through the water.

Re: Out of Character Chatter
I converted stuff like that all the time for Rifts.
120 mph = 211,200 yards/hr
60 minutes/hr = 211,200/60 = 3,520 yards/minute
1 round = 6 seconds
1 minute = 60 seconds
60/6 = 10
3,520/10 = 352 yards/round
1 pace = 2 yards
352/2 = 176 pace/round optimal speed
Practically speaking the books really should list 'pace' for the vehicles.

Re: Out of Character Chatter
As far as I can tell the big guns are well within range. The best bet is probably to try and drive off the broodkil using ranged fire. The Bop can close the distaance the fastest I think if Chevy chooses to do so.

LOL! I had to do some research on this map to try and figure out how it was intended to run because it's either HUGE or way too small. I discussed it with the other GMs as well, and was assured that several players would be confused. I think you're number 2, lol.
Sorry for the confusion, but after all when I launched this game I partially sold it on figuring out how to play through the pre-generated missions so we could all figure them out. Consider it part of the learning experience.

Okay, I checked the SW Deluxe book and found this on Pg. 58:Beowulf85 wrote:Also worth noting, the Bop's optimal speed is 352 yards/round.

That being said you probably can't drive at optimal speed unless on a well paved highway. Cut that speed in half on rough terrain, and much much slower again if you plan on going through the water.
Seeing as how one game inch equals two yards, that gives the Bop an acceleration of 20 yards per round and a combat top speed of 100 yards per round. For sake of argument, let's say Chevy was cruising at about 40 yards/round, or using the scale on the map, 10 hexes/round. He can accelerate to 15 hexes/round this turn, or roughly the edge of one of the large hexes. That places the Brodkil firmly inside the missile launcher's Medium range (-2 to Shooting, offset by the Bop's Sensor Suite).Acc/Top Speed is the vehicle’s Acceleration and Top Speed in inches per round. The Top Speed of vehicles is set for battlefields (not the open highway, where they can usually double their speed). They’re adapted to work on the table-top, which means they’re not entirely realistic but work well for the game. Top Speed is typically half the vehicle’s operational speed for military vehicles, or one-quarter speed for civilian cars. Acceleration varies far more widely—use the examples from the Vehicle Table as a guide.
Math is hard. Let's shoot something.
