A thorough search of the mess of a room takes a few hours but turns up a couple of interesting things. Noldrins journal is still there but unfortunately all the pages since first taking the scouting job to the east have been torn out. Then there's the pool of congealed blood bearing a large boot pri...

Her face quickly shifts from rage and sadness to appraisal, then cautious hope as she slowly lowers her gun. The mild alarm of the bystanders at this showdown, this is Merctown after all, is abated by the de-escalation. "The Legion? You better come with me." Giving a nod to the clerk she l...

After a good nights sleep amd a nutritious breakfast the Hot Shots begin to canvas the city of Merctown. Jefferys silver tongue and Brons stern glares shake info out of people that the the intel provided by Zak and Fahtoo lead them to while Aos psionically sharpens the already formidable skills on d...

Jeffery 1.1 ppw

Because I screwed off most of the last month I'll give everyone an EP. Reset your bennys and gain an advance.

Day 3 To the surprise of everyone a couple of the employees know Brom and greet him warmly. A matronly dwarven woman approaches the Hot Shots as they enter with a warm greeting "Brom deary, good to see ya again! And with new friends.. Well, by the sight of that rats nest drooping from yer chin...

Big Damn Heroes Day 2 continued The small wooded valley is a hellscape of laser blasts, blood and screams for what seems like forever. The roar of Brons engine and the booming collisions droning out the slavers bikes like they were kittens mews trying to a lions roar. As he makes trouble for the ha...

An aside. I'm riffing off a method to randomly determine scene modifiers that Jon uses. For transparencies sake heres what the d8 roll for the tasks means just so you know I'm not totally making shit up :).

Setting Out Day: 1 and 2 After getting the supplies and package loaded up you set out with several hours of daylight to burn. The roads and trail to the east and north are well traveled and know by the team so you make good time in your first evening of travel. Stopping to set camp in the waning li...

Triester nods at the idea of examining the site. "If Noldrin can get some time away from his employer that may be a damn fine idea. The Headhunters don't know he salvaged that 'bot and sent it to us though, so it may be difficult to arrange it. As for communication, there's a branch of the NGMI...

Listening to the teams question and conversation, Triester watches the reactions and interaction like a hawk. When Fahtoo implores him for an answer to the leadership question he chuckles and speaks up. "With most of you at e-quivalant rank and field time, at least since you all joined up, lead...

My vote of 2 in both here and the Sov game is due to GM post rate. What we get from you is awesome and worthy of a 3 but with post rates of .5 and .3 respectively are not. Sorry man.

Your arrive at briefing room 1a to find Triester waiting. The smell of fresh paint is still faintly present and the massive, vault like door bears dents and some very large claw marks.

Looks good

While technically legal, yeah, there's the forcefield issue. I think most GMs would look at a 9 point toughness shift with concern. I say that as a guy who loves him some toughness.

Ndreare wrote: ↑Mon Jun 29, 2020 5:43 pm I would allow it. Even huge notice rolls are not all that bad. After all if the GM calls for notice it is because he wants to give you information.
Who is your GM?

Lars, it's for my Speed Tribes guy.

Looks good to me.

The interviews do not go like it seemed the weaselly little prick had planned in his head. With each report his face gets redder and redder.

So What this thread will do is list the vendors and prices available where you are. As we move to new places I'll post what's there as interest dictates. Like a major town you're doing stuff in I'll have a post ready but some Podunk village you're just passing through... not so much, :) Castle Refug...

Creation note: I took parry as the minors to keep from being too OP at notice rolls. With alertness, cyber eyes/ears, and another +2 from minors that'd be +6 to notice roll. So I'm not married to them conceptually, if there are suggestions for other fitting minors I'm open to them.

When A.R.C.H.I.E. decided to modify the NEMA trooper, Melvin Stanowitz, as an unwitting scout he largely used the NEMA era cyber available. He did however modify the CEP with both the subtle long range transmitters he would latter seed into Titan Robotics tech and enhanced data analysis capabilities...

The translator function would work of the usual power source, probably double As or something. The Silence and Slumber would need a source of generic PP and would operate as normal.

I could see a +1 being to the activation roll for the items powers powers.

If you have a character in a game that's starting up soon that qualifies as well.
I should have included that I suppose.

Stan is based on a weird villain I invented for an interlude, Action Dan. https://savagerifts.com/sr/viewtopic.php?p=42064#p42064 I loved the idea though and decided Dan was an evil copycat of the real Action Man, Stan. Stan also popped up in another New West interlude on an electronic message board...

Bracing his gun hand on some debris, Kyrin takes aim at the mook trying to run of with their lead.

His shot clips the runner, dazing him a bit.

No.

Makenna Griggs wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2020 9:00 pm Is there a theme that I'm missing? Since it's called "Plague Stimulus Edition", does the story have to revolve around a plague in some way?

Yeah, no theme required. Just a poor attempt at topical humor since the point of the contest is a "stimulus" for the new players.

As the title says this thread is for submissions to the ongoing contest. The details can be found here viewtopic.php?f=16&t=5190&p=66718#p66718 and is where any questions should be asked.

Wow, has it been a tough year so far. Hope everyone is healthy and safe.

Already on it. I'm a poor gm writing wise but I'm on top of the minutia.

I too will miss this group. Been reading y'alls exploits for the last year or so. Seeing a new post in the 13th excited me nearly as much as a new post in my favorite games I play in.

I figured when they enchanted it they did the whole enchilada. Its stats are pretty much huntsman armor. How many mods does the existing enchanted armor start with? Those dont look like they were built like that. More like "magic" versions of some of the base armors, ie faux tech. While a...

Maybe add it as a power modifier? For +1? PPE the armors smite power can be activated with a holy trapping instead of a sunlight trapping.

You don't have a point of strain. That blurb was there to remind you that if you get any you suffer a penalty to psionics rolls.
