Welcome to our Out of Character Board. This is where we post inane video links, cracks jokes, and in general talk about the game at hand.
If you are a visitor feel free to post freely on this board!

I'd use profanity to prove that I'm ok with it, but I decided to be tasteful. :p
-
Fine with me :)
-
By the way, a quick question.
I still need to decide on one feat,
which one would you guys go with?
Weapon Finesse to increase my close-combat effectiveness should the need arise,
Point Blank Shot for that little extra attack and damage if the enemy is close enough or
Armor Proficiency (Light) for a +2 increase to my Defense?
Thanks for your thoughts and tips concerning the matter :)
-
You're a gunner! Point Blank Shot!
-
So, no need for that +2 Defense?
I've already decided against Weapon Finesse :)
-
From what I can gather from the intro section, this is likely to be an archaeological expedition, not so much a direct firefight. I could be wrong, but if I'm not, packing around 10-20 pounds of extra armor in the middle of the Guatamalan jungle would suxx0rz.
-
For the Era, body armor hadn't REALLY been in mass use yet. I would say that the majority (if not all) of your opposition will find themselves without access to body armor. This isn't to say that your PC doesn't... BUT if this were my build, I'd go for Point Blank Shot. I find it to be a handy Feat.
However, if for some reason it ever comes down to it, and your PC dies over a matter of 2 Def points... Then I'm sorry. :)
-

HE LIES!! he wouldn't be sorry at all! :p
yeah I say go for point blank, but as I'm a DEX junkie I do love my weapon finesse, flip a coin if its keeping you up at night :D
-
Go for point blank.
And I give up on coming up with good gear, except I might get a machete that I won't even be proficient with. Woo!
-
I like props.
You'll notice that soon if you haven't begun to already. I'm posting some props early, but I am holding off on their in-game correlation until Wednesday.
-

just try an think what an explorer would need on a mission and trawl through the equipment section in the source book :D

heh heh, guess its a good job Nans picked up on it then otherwise I would have been stuck on 27 hp!
forgive me for not reading your rules closer, it shall not happen again *self flagellates*
anything else people spotted on my char sheet? just want to make sure I got it perfect
-
I only know that you missed it because I saw the link that you posted. :p
-
Hey all, first time doing Modern, so any corrections are most appreciated.
And as far as equipment goes, I armed myself and then took a leaf from Bowen (read: snagged his list of non-weapon equipment; dude has a small arsenal on top of everything...), so no flaying me! T_T
-
A warm welcome to you Crimsonwind!
(don't worry I only flag myself :p)
the char sheet looks good on first glance, though if you're worried about carrying weight you can enter the stuff and it's weight in the "other possessions" section and it adds it all up for you, which is cool! :D
-
Weight is definitely a consideration. But if you could rent or hire a mule or 5 in the first town...
;) Make sure you have bags and stuff appropriate to carry stuff in as well.
oh, and you guys are going to need a mule or two anyway after the Expedition Gear is removed from the ship and waiting for you...
Also, Flay-- I did not see those 4 free ranks of yours in Gather Information-- Did you make the change on your sheet but forget to save or something? Just wanted you to know!
...and DOUBLE also:
My introductory posts will be made at approximately 12 midnight Central time (my home timezone)-- so what, roughly 15 hours from the time of this post?
Let me remind everyone of my minimum 1 Post/day rule. You don't need to post on weekends, but a single post, per weekday will be required at the very least. If life has come up, please try top let us all know beforehand so we aren't thinking Where the hell is....? That BASTARD!--
Flay is new to d20M. and I believe that at least one of you is new to PbP style play. I want top encourage amongst everyone a helpful and friendly attitude for when these guys falter. We all want this to be a great experience for all involved!
Looking forward to this!

Going with PBS :)
Let's roll :D

Hello jace I am replying to your invitation in this game
I am thinking of playing Richard Hawkins, an Indiana Jones style and gadgets user char
( Human Smart 2 / Tough 4)
background:
Richard was born in Egypt Cairo, by two dedicated British archaeologists, doing some research near a newly discovered Pyramid.
Richard’s love for history and archeology started since he was a child, when he discovered an ancient hourglass of bizarre nature when he felt accidentally into a deep well. The well seemed to be a secret access to an ancient cult’s headquarters. There he discovered this ancient artifact along with strange ruins crafted along the walls of the small room. He immediately gave it to his father and he in his turn delivered it where it belonged, to the museum.
Richard’s father soon recognized, his son passion for archeology so he sent him to get a higher education in London. Richard graduated as one of the best students, and found a Job as a lecturer of ancient history. But he immediately realized that this was not a place for him, his passion could only lead him at the field of research, in ancient dig sites, lost temples, unrevealed civilizations at the far ends of the world. He soon found himself eating dust and blood. These were really strange times, with a lot of fortune hunters and criminals around, and especially with Hitler’s obsession with the occult.
Richard was recruited just before World War 2 by the British government, as a special agent. His missions included intercepting any plans the Nazis had, related with the occult. He traveled all around the world, from the burning sand of the Far East, to the Vast chaos of the Amazon Forests, fighting the German’s plans for discovering the Ultimate victory for Hitler. Richard was even injured in one of those fighting’s and lost his left ear. He always wears the classical Indiana Jones style Hat and cloths.
Is that ok?
-
hey hey!
Glad to see ya man! I was hoping that you'd get my invite--!
Go ahead and make the build!
You will get an additional 4 ranks in a skill of your choosing, but these 4 ranks must go entirely to flavor up your character.
You've just made the boat! We start playing at 12midnight Central time tonight!
EDIT: I'm running a deep bowel shaking virus search on my PC ATM, so if you have any questions, please post or PM them to me. OOC posting will at least get you the help of our comrades here. I'll be popping on as the de-lousing continues, but my PC is running waaay slow. If I don't respond as quickly as one might hope, this is why!
-
Anyone have any flavorful ideas for my extra 4 skill points? I seem to be drawing a blank here...:embarrassed
-

You could go with knowledges or crafts! Just a quick suggestion!
-
I'll have thought of something tomorrow morning. Thanks for the suggestion :)
-
Yeah, calculating equipment up now, and yes I did forget to add those skillpoints, my bad! :embarrassed
See you guys probably some time tonight, lol.
-
I've got equipment, I'm good to go.
-
Neull, you stole my name! I am shocked and appalled! :o
:P
-
Nanshork sorry for that this is just an old character of mine that I never had the chance to play
-
I change it to Max...
-
For the record, when I go :P I'm kidding around.
:P
You can be Richard too if you want, it doesn't bother me.
-
So, Nanshork, do I just call you Dick? :P
-
Mmmmno.
-
HA! HA! HA!!
brilliant!
:lmao
-
No 'Jax the Hax' in our SAGA game, no 'Dick' here...
You're really cramping my style here man :P
-
David gets called Dave, isn't that good enough for you? :P
-
Not by me :P
-
You're so needy. :rollseyes
-
Hold me... *swoons*
:P
-
I used to work at a copy shop ten years ago, and one of my favorite regular customers was a man named Richard 'Dick' Shaneline. He was a WWII Navy Photographer, and a really awesome old dude. 'Dick' was a very popular nickname during that era! (even thought now it just means dick.lol)
-
Fine fine, Bowen can call me Dick. Happy now? :P
-
Bwahaha :lmao
Epic :P
-
:lmao
heh heh.... Dick :D
-
What have I done to myself. :rollseyes
-
ROTFFLMAO! :lmao
Sorry?
-
ROTFFLMAO! :lmao
Sorry?
No you're not. :p

Some OOC questions:
1) Do we have any information on our employers and their organisation the League of Nations?
2) What do we know about the political situation in Guatemala. Who rules? How is his relationship with the Germans?
-
Good questions, hadn't even thought about those myself :)
-
Some OOC questions:
1) Do we have any information on our employers and their organisation the League of Nations?
2) What do we know about the political situation in Guatemala. Who rules? How is his relationship with the Germans?
1) I've added the wiki link for the League of Nations in the Internet Resource section.
League Recent history:
...As the situation in Europe deteriorated into war, the Assembly transferred enough power to the Secretary General on 30 September 1938 and 14 December 1939 to allow the League to continue to legally exist and to carry on reduced operations. The headquarters of the League, the Palace of Peace, remains unoccupied.
In this version of history, a secret multi-national committee was formed to key a close eye on the Nazis interest in the occult. You'd been contacted by mail, then members of the committee came to meet with you. Any looking into the background of these men has shown them to be legitimate members of the LoN and prominent in their own countries as well.Though the LoN is clearly faltering in strength at this point, some members are still striving to do what they can for humanity.
2) Guatemalan Knowledge:
Once the site of the impressive ancient Mayan civilization, Guatemala was conquered by Spanish conquistador Pedro de Alvarado in 1524 and became a republic in 1839 after the United Provinces of Central America collapsed. From 1898 to 1920, dictator Manuel Estrada Cabrera ran the country, and from 1931 to 1944, Gen. Jorge Ubico Castaneda served as strongman.
Much of South America was friendly towards the Nazis, in this version of history I'm extending it into Guatemala. Jorge Ubico Castaneda has no problem allowing Nazis on Guatemalan soil. Greed and Strength are high up on this dictator's list. [EDIT: I screwed up earlier in my editing, I have fixed my grevious error of who was in charge of the country. Sorry! If you don't know what I'm talking about... then I said nothing just now. Nothing to see, please move along. ;)]
-
Well, my five days of not having to work is finally at an end. It's just after 8AM as I type this, and I'll be at work in an hour.
If your characters would like to discuss options with each other you can do so before the ship arrives in port (in Real-Time I will write it arriving in about 12 - 15 hours from now, so you still have time to get posting in.) Alternately, you are welcome to write about your characters heading to your small cramped quarters on the same floor that you are on now, to gather your belongings.
In addition to you, there were at least another 8 passengers on board. These folks have taken about as much interest in you as you have in them. Multi-ethnicity, many of whom are from various Caribbean islands.
Basically feel free to write. If anything doesn't jive for some reason, we can fix it later. In-Game the Kingston Queen will be arriving in port and docking in about 15 to 20 minutes!
I hope that everyone is having fun so far! I know that I am. I think that we have a really good group here, and I'm glad that we have so many active participants!
I'll be home from work and online in about 6 hours time, so if you have any questions, I'll address them!
-
I'm having plenty of fun so far, really digging this campaign :)
-
character updated on having 12 sticks of dynamite instead of 6 because I just saw in the SRD that you get them in a package of 12 (and I paid for 12).
-
I'm having fun, don't worry!
I'll almost be sorry to change to a new character once the "real" campaign starts, I'm getting into my character's dark personality.
-
there is always the option of making a futuristic version of your character (a descendant maybe..)
-
I been thinking about these more modern/proper characters a lot lately and have even been drawing up ideas and rough character sheets, but with nothing to work on about them all I can really do is do a rough draft. I enjoy creating characters :D are you going to give us any hints about the future chars or just leave us hanging till we finish the prologue?
I love this campaign its awesome I only wish we were sitting round a table rather than staring at a screen lol
-
I think they are going to be crew members of a treasure hunting ship...
-
well damn that throws my idea out the window heh...
-
If so, I think I'll handle the security force guy :P
-

I'm beginning to see a pattern here... :p

The Modern Portion of the Artifact, originated with my love of Clive Cussler books (http://clive cussler). If you haven't read them, perhaps you've seen the movie SAHARA (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318649/)--
Just remember that this IS the prologue for the main adventure, This sets the show, so to speak. If any of your characters happen to die it is quite possible (with the likely exception of our 44 year old Allan Quartermain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Quatermain), for obvious reasons) that you won't be playing a decendent, unless by being a grandnephew. No one mentioned having any children in your write-ups, so unless you've got a bastard somewhere-- your line ends with you.
Basically, don't get too attached to any ideas just yet. A lot may happen in the game and out of the game. You gots plenty of time to make up your minds. :)
-

honestly, that would not surprise me with Russo
-
You misspelled John's last name in the poll :P
-
And.... Remedied! :banghead
-
Hint, guys: It's hella not gonna be me. :D
Yes, I'm from NorCal, so yes, I get to say "hella."
-
give john (my john) a willing (or less than willing) young dame with sweet gams' and he's there before the rest of you even make eye contact with her..... well thats the Idea only the rolls will tell :p
....knew I should have taken charm instead of fast-talk thats just what I get for my slight meta-gaming tendencies, bad Tarot! naughty! down there leads the dark side!! MIN-MAXING!!! *shudders*
-
also since when the hell has Mr. T been on this ship!?
sorry for the double post
Jace you have to have him say FOO'! just once, please, for me :D
-
And for me :P
-
LOL! That's great-- I wasn't even thinking about Mr. T! This is who I was seeing in my head:

Mr. T added for amusing comparison.[/spoiler]

Where is that guy from again? I know him, but I can't quite recall from where...

The tv show LOST, one of my great obsessions! :D
I found and added a new reference for WWII Reenactors that contains TONS of useful info for good Role-Playing.
Players of British and American characters, this pamphlet (http://www.hardscrabblefarm.com/ww2/britain.htm) is for you.
Flay, here's something for you! (http://www.hardscrabblefarm.com/ww2/german_phrases.htm)
-
Thanks, I'll give it a good read this weekend :)
And that kinda explains it, I never really followed Lost, just seen a few bits and pieces every now and then.
-
A-HA! So no more boosting my crappy, crappy German with babelfish! WOOOOOT!
-
Please try to keep OOC discussions to this board. It will keep boards like the Rules & Guidelines much cleaner and easier to navigate in the future.
And since the OOC was speculating on my use of a Star Wars book... I wouldn't expect to recognize anything from it. It's purpose is flavor only, and with heavy coats of paint with the serial numbers files off.
Also Neull//, the version of this campaign that you are familiar with and the version we are running now are vastly different. Don't accidentally meta-game and ruin things for everyone else. Treat this material as if it is fresh, because my take on it sure is. I've had four years to rework this!
-
sorry Jace should have thought about that, my bad,
but my outburst still stands, I would have to re-work all my skill though and put some in force grip and lightning :D
-
lol!
Russo: these aren't the droids you're looking for.
Nazi guard: these aren't the droids we're looking for.

Grab yourself a copy of the Equipment book that I've been putting together. I use this in all of my games, now you can too!
EDIT:
Also, I have a question for you; Is everyone fine with everyone's speech colors?
I used blue and brown, strictly based on their suit colors. But in the future I will try to be mindful not top select the same color as any of the PCs.
I will try my best to be consistent with the quality of my posts, at least to keep you guys in the immersion of it all.
Weekends are freebie days, you don't have to post. If the rest of the group goes in one direction, it will be assumed for ease of gameplay , that your PC went with them. This is so you can go out of town, or have a job, or time to sleep, or to cuddle with a stuffed animal, or what have you.
I will be preparing a weekly re-cap of game events, that I will be posting somewhere. So later on, when you are trying to figure out which part of the game something happened in, you can find it quickly. And also as a quick chronicle of gaming events.
If you guys aren't real fond of all game props and stuff let me know. I can know what best to focus on. I personally like a lot of the extra bullshit, I think it helps me get into character better.
Sunday I will be off work all day, so if any wants to Yahoo Messenger me, I'll be around.
-
I'm happy with the way everything has been going.
-
Same here.
You've got a lot of awesome stuff prepared, and it really helps me get the 'feel' of the campaign, seeing all the extra details you post :)
-
My last In-Game post gives you guys the leeway to discuss your plans before departing, and allows you to go your separate ways afterward.
Orino Perro, BTW isn't just around the corner. It's days inland. Of course, only people who've BEEN here before would know that. So stay in character.
-
please say I passed that bluff check otherwise Russo is gonna look a complete pillock :D
-
Please say he didn't pass that bluff check :P
-
I've been doing some cleaning up in the Props section. Internet links is it's own reply now, down at the bottom of the thread. I've added a tutorial for squeezing the max out of the Babelfish translator which is in this section. This will help us both understand what our characters are saying!
Also, I'm announcing that I will award a special object to a PC if you the player builds an Avatar of your PC and posts it with your Character Page. Photos and Drawings are great-- but this is something extra that I'm asking for as a GM.
Russo
[spoiler]You will discover it while in town.[/spoiler]
Thanks again for the great flow we've got going everyone, and thanks in advance for your custom avatars! (I have a special plan for them!)
ohhhhh! I'm all tingly! :D
and yes I passed the bluff check :p +6 baby yeah!
-
Got my avatar up with my character sheet post :)
-
ugh! babel fish hates me, does anybody speak Italian?
also according to babel fish the itallian have no word for 'trust'.... heh heh figures!
bloody southerners

Sorry, can't help you there. Should've gone with a Dutchman :P
-

-
Russo was meant to be calling over the others, he forgets people cant speak his language, low wisdom score you see :p it works just about, not sure if it would make sense to a real Italian though...
-
Ha-hah! I love seeing those avatars!
I had to create a custom fedora for one of my npcs. I overlayed it in place and removed the old one with an eraser tool.
So Nuell// if you'd like to make your dude and leave him hatless, I can edit it for you, and put his fedora on. I might be able to do a british explorer's hat too!
-
I think I'm going to have to do some editing for the 'future' character the avatar maker thing doesn't really do what i might need it to do
argh! if only my photoshop worked!! :banghead
-
Sorry man those avatars seem to childish to me..they are just not my style...I prefer using art pictures for my chars :D
-
Just letting you guys know that I'm going to be leaving for a week starting tomorrow to go to a funeral in another state and spend time with family and friends.
-

That's fine by me. But in order to receive that In-Game boon you will need one.
I'm a professionally trained comic book artist and I STILL use the avatars -- My Artwork (http://jacemachine.deviantart.com/gallery/)
The simple nature of these Avatars is what appeals to me as a GM-- It's because it give you guys an impression of what a character looks like. Your eyes see a cartoon face, but your brain easily can register more. They do more to spur the imagination. I'm all for detailed artwork, and I love the pic you have. I'm not asking you to remove it either.
-
Just letting you guys know that I'm going to be leaving for a week starting tomorrow to go to a funeral in another state and spend time with family and friends.
I Understand. Your PC will be in "NPC ghost mode"-- Richard will be amongst the party, but not active.
Be safe. See you when you get back! Be sure to check the Headlines next Sunday for a recap of this week's events--
Good luck and I'm sorry.

I've updated my Town Rules, and for your benefit I will double-post the relevant changes here for you. If you haven't read any of the town rules yet, you are sooo fired. ;) :D
When you get to a new town, you don't know where the hell to go or where anything is. So how do you know where to go?...
...First thing to do when you get to a new place is to use your senses. Listen and Spot are useful if you do not wish to speak to anyone. When using Listen You can occasionally hear snippets of conversation. Relying strictly on Listen to get around town won't get you very far typically. Spot is infinitely more useful when learning about your immediate vicinity. You will notice signs and shop names. Things that will get you started on moving about from place to place.
To REALLY dig into what is available in a town, you're going to need to Gather Information about it. When using Gather Information you will learn a greater variety of town knowledge. Some locals know places strangers should avoid because of danger. Just relying on your eyes won't give you that.
Getting decent information requires time spent: Taking 10 on a Gather Information check results in a 15-minute time span of asking around. Taking 20 will take you possibly a number of hours. After all, it took some time to track down that info! Big Grin
Each location will be described in detail, including relevant NPCs for that area. If it is a store, it will include a list of goods and services with the WB as well as a description of the store clerk. If you wish to engage the NPC in conversation, just inquire and I’ll respond in like.
This is the way you will learn about locations in town, so that the rest of the town rules can come into play!
-
Thanks for the info, I think I'll have to rely on Dr. Loder for communication for now :)
-
It's off to work I go!
I'll be back on in a few hours to check on things, and to get the story moving forwards again! :D
-
As far as Prestige Classes go, Loder would definitely be a Loremaster.

As you know, I know so little about DnD it's shameful. What are the features of a Loremaster?

It a caster PrC focused on knowledge.

I have to slap your hand. There.
I hope you've learned your lesson. ;)
Actually, you are an involved player with lots of postings to back that up-- I won't hold this against you. If at all possible though in the future. please hop on real quick to OOC us that we should expect you to be missing. Instead of waiting for a post, I can re-work it so that the story moves along and no one has to wait very long.
Poor Flay was ALL alone in that thread with Nanshork out for a week and you MIA!

I know. You're excited.

Thank you!
I'll be posting again in about 8 hours. I've been working on game stuff all day, and I was just waiting to see if there would be any character reactions from the last two Checks that were made. One in A and one in B.
Sleep claims me. I should have something up after I wake up in... 8 hours.
-
In case you may have missed it, I revised the Rules page to include how to locate places and generally move about town. Group B is in a prime position to use this, and Gruppe A will be shortly.
And as always, if any of you guys (and gal :D) have any questions or thoughts, let me know.
If any of you guys end up running into Mister Etienne again, I promise to do my best to have him say "I pidy da foo'--" :facepalm

Thank god here in Florida (just about) every home has A/C-- I'm originally from Pennsylvania and though I've been living in Florida now for a number of years, I still have trouble dealing with the humidity and heat!!! (:fo this is for YOU Hot & Humid!)--

I can generally manage heat, it's humidity that really gets me though...
Also, I really hate being sick, didn't even get to catch it in a fun way :banghead

I will update within the next couple of hours. I woke up five minutes before I needed to be in the car driving to work this morning, and I got home a little bit ago.
I'm pretty beat. Worked a fairly long shift today. I'm going to try and catch a nap before I have to go pick my roomie up from her job in three hours.
After that though, I'll give you guys what's next!
ZzzzzzZzzZZZzzZZ.... :D
-

on another note I think I found a use for this sun, been sunbathing in my bikini using my boyfriend as a slave to fetch me drinks an stuff :D

I'm working on the B thread right now. I just wanted to give you a heads in just in case you didn't think I loved you. (I did update the Main thread)--
My roomie is pretty, cute, and she's got huge boobs :bigeye. It's a decent arrangement and she's pretty cool.
Anyway, back to working on B Post! :D

Well we can't have the game delayed due to your absence, now can we ;)
:P
-
So I'm just catching up with some stuff I wanted to have ready.
Nanshork, the week recap has been posted so you can get caught up relatively quickly.
I will be posting the B group half soon, and then after that I will update both Game Threads. Sorry for the delay today, usually I like to have things posted after I wake up-- but it just didn't work out that way today!
-

Sorry for my absence the last days …work has been awful…

So, in your opinion is Russo a perfectly accurate rendition of the average male? :p

So I see. :P

How is the pace of gameplay going for everyone? If it's too slow or too fast, let me know!
-
re: poll
I dunno if it's only in Canada, but there's a rating between PG-13 and R. M for Mature.
-
I've only seen that on games, not movies.
Also, pace is fine for me.
-
I clicked adults only but thats just coz i'm dirty like that :p
also pace is good as can be expected on a forum, sometimes it goes a little fast and sometimes a little slow but thats to be expected, pace is fine for me :D great fun!

Pace is fine with me :)

Jace I deleted some messages so it should be fine now...:)

In addition to the Package that Richard grabbed, don't forget Reggie's envelope!
-
Hehehe, I grabbed a package. :smirk
-
Wait, who's 'package' did he grab? I've got my hand on my gun!
Sorry guys, feeling a bit quirky right now...:P
EDIT: Sonuva...
Nanshork, you dirty Ninja :P

I didn't grab your package, I've heard enough about your hairy ass that I don't want anything to do with what's in your pants. :P
-
Don't be in denial dear, you're hurting my feelings :P

So yeah... today driving down Hwy 98... my front left tire blows out and goes to utter mulch.
It was a nice day for a walk. Let's just put it that way.

Don't blow a tire this time ;)
-
sorry for being absent just having a really shitty time with my boyfriend at the moment don't know when I'll be back or if its going to be him or whatever, I'll try and muster the will to come back but I'm just finding everything a little difficult to manage at the moment.
I'm sorry
-
Well that sucks. Anything we can do?
-
Sorry to hear it tarot. If there's anything we can do (unlikely though it may be) to help you, let us know. I know a guy who can call a guy to take out a guy, if you know what I mean. :) Jokes aside, I hope this situation blows over for the best, and if not, we're here for ya.
-
Some dick-head gamer once said, "AAWWWWWWWW! Come ON! You gotta play through it! It'll take your mind off things!"
I told him to go to hell.
Take as much time as you need. However, what do you want us to do with your character? I'd be happy to ghost Russo for a bit. Perhaps the rest of guys could include Russo in their posts, and basically share-npc the character of Jon Russo, if Tarot is up for that idea-- That way, which ever of you two to come back will still have a character to come back to. Ideas?
I'm sorry you're going through a rough spot. As an old geezer ;) I can only give that cliched advice of "things will get better"-- Often just realizing that helps me through things. Let us know if you need anything that we could do for you.
-
Take care, Tarot :)
-
thanks you guys that means a lot :) most of my friends seem to be siding with him at the moment so I'm feeling very boxed in and utterly shitty, though I think I've swayed his best friend to hit him a couple of times....
and Jace you seem to play Russo better than I do! feel free to abuse him as much as you like, he seems to have become comic relief anyway lol if you need Russo's emoticon pics just ask
*sigh* I think I'm going to steal this account just out of spite, if my name changes suddenly just be prepared.
-
We don't know him, so we side with you by default. Don't you feel lucky? :p
Good luck getting everything sorted out.
-
We don't know him, so we side with you by default.
Actually, you all DO know him. He was Russo for the first ten days of our playing. Russo really WAS a guy to start with.
The recent Tarotdragoon, she admitted to me that she had hijacked his account for April Fools day-- it backfired on her, she said, and she began posting as Russo for the past 18 days or so. (though she tells me that he has given her help here and there.)
I actually feel bad for the original because he had posted on my Artifact forums back on the WotC pages, and was a long time fan of this campaign.
So that's what really happened. :shrug
Now if for some reason she and he BOTH wanted to play then one of them would have to create a new character so I could work them in as you guys leave Santa Boca. But obviously that's dependent on them both to work out. I would be willing to accept one addition player in this case alone.
On the other hand if neither of them decides to come back... as much as I enjoy the Russo character-- I have plenty of NPCs I will have to worry about for the expedition, so I'd likely phase him out at some point.
What are your thoughts on this guys (and gal)? How long is fair to wait to keep Russo going? Would one of you be dedicated enough to continue the character after that period of time? :hmm
-
I'd like one (or both) of them to stick around, and am personally willing to give them some time to get it sorted out.
-
Agreed, give them the time they need, assuming you (or anyone of my fellow players) is willing to fill in for Russo until that time (sorry, don't have the time or inspiration lately to do the character justice, otherwise I'd volunteer for NPC-duty :)).
~Bowen
-
Jace, I have to ask. How much of that was pre-planned and how much was because of my character's background and hints I tried to drop?
-
Nonetheless, it was awesome :D
-
:)
I bit of both I suppose. The mambo named Madame Sarah Desallines was a PC I ran through a d20 Modern version of Ravenloft. Much of it was pre-planned, but I always try to tailor what I can to the PCs in my party whenever possible.
There's a ton of clues within those images, be sure to use them wisely!
-
You do realize that now I have to go demon hunting, right? :p
-
So, uhmz, who's playing the priest? :P
-
demons? I like demons :D
hey guys its not tarot it's me again, things are getting sorted out and I just want something to occupy myself.
I'm sorry everything sort of got out of hand and any inconvenience it may have caused you all especially you Jace, also I'm sorry for the little deception, its rather stupid I know. Tarot may come and post one day but he says I can have this account (yay) as he prefers to watch things from afar (voyeur :rollseyes)
-
Welcome back :)

the real Tarotdragoon: Hi Jace and dudes sorry for everything, (women :rollseyes) I won't be playing from now on I'll let the OTHER (not real) Tarot play here considering I kinda have an advanced knowledge of what is going to happen hee hee hee Jace if you need a hand playing NPC's or anything just give her a PM with the title 'Tarot's eyes only' :)

You know, you could always just create a new account and lurk around on the OOC. That way you'd be close enough to poke and prod with sticks and stuff! ;)

Updated my post.

Alrighty-- I shall update my last post as well. :)

Heh, maybe Russo won't be the first to get laid :P

gutted! :D

Yes. Yes he did.
So we almost had a ferret die today from heatstroke, her cage was in the sunlight for too long today... We're still monitoring her and she's acting MUCH better now. At least we learned a horribly valuable lesson with the fuzzbutt today. We're going to keep an eye on her all night to make sure she's really going to be fine though.
On top of that, my roomie and I both have nasty chest colds. I feel horrible. Hurray.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for the upcoming mini-game? I was thinking that for every Big5 animal that your PC manages to take down, it could have some in-game bonus granted to your PCs.
Oh, and be sure to get you BOON from Nanshork. Richard has a voodoo Gris-gris bag for each of you (thank you for making me those avatars!)
Once you guys get them, I will give you the in-game stats on them!
-
I'll give everybody theirs, don't worry.
*expects someone to open one*
Good luck with the ferret thing, I love ferrets even though they do love stealing my insoles.
-
awww the poor little things!!! Jace you horrible person how could you leave it out there for so long!
bad luck with the cold, though I'm sure its more of a 'warm' in this weather :p
hope you two feel better soon

Thanks-- Yeah, we should have known better... but the cage was inside the bedroom, and the sun crept up on the cage... It wasn't like we had taken the cage out and set it in the sunlight. *sigh* still, pretty dumb of us NOT to realize the dangers... we're just glad that the ferret is alive and well today! (the ferret means a lot, especially to my roomie-- I had gotten the ferret for her after both of her parents had died...)
Yeah, this 'warm' (cold) fucking blows. My roomie whines a lot about it, as if I'm not going through the same thing. lol. Oh well.
Anyway, I will be updating all posts today, but it may not be for a few hours yet. I'm trying to get my head clear enough to compose clearly written stuff, AND not leave anything out that may be important...
-
Dr. Loder beats my Treat Injury by one so he can lug around all of the medical stuff. :p
-
good to know all three of you are (more or less) doing ok I guess the ferret thing was an honest mistake, I once locked my cat outside on a super hot sunny day, we found it cowering under a bush with heat stroke! it looked like it was drugged, rolling around and meowing like crazy poor thing
btw she winges because us farer sex are more sensitive than you brutes :p wait on her hand and foot you manly male you! lol
-
:lmao
er, I mean. Yes. I'll get right on that! ;)
I just woke up. I'm all sorts of doped up on NyQuill right now still from last night. I have to leave for work in about an hour. Blah.
I will do my post Game Updates after I get back home this afternoon.
-
Sorry!
My brain's been feeling really scrambled with being sick, and I just haven't been able to muster. I'm off all day today, and I have the start of one post in the works. Working on them in small doses.
I hope all of you are doing well. Looks like it's been a rough posting week for a lot of us! As I get better my posting habits will resume again, and all that.
Once again, I apologize for not keeping my word yesterday.
-
Alrighty. Aspirin has kicked in and my headache has subsided enough that the game goes on! Sorry again everyone!
-
good to know you're surviving Jace :D we would help you out but we're a little far away... sorry :p
-
Yeah, I'd love to help, but I'm about as far away as you can be without getting too close to Canada or leaving the mainland US (and no, right now it's not fucking "sunny" California, bitches).
-- Edit -- No shit, is that a holy Harmonica in the Game Maps, Props & Files thread? Hahaha, kidding, assume something must've been taken out.

I was like, "wha--?" then I saw what you meant-- I have no idea what that was. Perhaps Holy Bible. But then again knowing me... who knows. :bigeye
This is the town where my apartment is (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=mwh&q=destin+Florida&um=1&ie=UTF-8&split=0&gl=us&ei=A3j1SbDsBpDGMt-b7MMP&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=image&resnum=1). I work in Destin which is East of FWB. It's a 20 minute drive to work if there is no traffic and I catch all the lights green. It's a 45 minute to and hour drive during tourist seasons.
Anyway, I'm feeling mostly better now. I've been sleeping a lot, and my cats have been fine companions through this. My roomie is better too. :clap Another downside of being sick is that I missed out on seeing my aunt and uncle while they were in town this week. :fo Here's to being sick :fu
Oh, and the monkey wins the first round of the CAGE FIGHT and moves onto round 2! Vote!

Glad you're feeling better and WOO VOTING!

Go chimp! :clap

Doesn't look too good for the chimp.
In separate news...
I retooled my last in-game post as well. Be sure to double check it AND the map.

Go team Boulder! :D

I hope everything is alright with Bowen. He's missing all the fun! :bigeye
In other news, The Boulder rolls out of the Second Cage fight as the Victor and moves onto the Third Cage Match battle!

KHAAAAN!

How does everyone want to handle combat and initiative order?
OPTION #1
Everyone waits and posts in-turn. The advantage is that it is very clear what has taken place and in what sequence, as posts will be in the correct readable order. The disadvantage is the duration to resolve combat rounds is extended as a result.
OPTION #2
Everyone posts whenever they happen to be on, even though the character's will still act in initiative sequence. (Loder posts before Eisen posts, but Eisen's action takes place first, etc).The advantage is that it is will speed up game play, allowing combat to happen quicker.The disadvantage is that character's actions often depend on what others do first in a round. Also who has done what, when COULD get confusing.
What are your thoughts? Is there a 3rd option we should be considering? Oh you PbP gaming veterens, please inform!
-
the first round of combat really freaked me out lol probably just coz I'm not used to it but it was just all over the place, so I'm in favor of longer time but less confusion (also i get to post first! :P )
-
That first round was considered a surprise round. I was going on the assumption that Max's actions would have been unseen below the bar, and he could have gotten the jump on the group.
In retrospect, I think that you guys could have gotten in attacks of your own after that event, but before Round 1. So for THAT I'm sorry. But other than outright shooting Carlos (which no one seemed inclined to when they had the chance ANYWAY...) I don't think anything really went down that differently. But in the future, I will be more aware.
If you guys would like to post out of order, like Neull//, that's fine by me. I know that not every can keep checking throughout the day to say if it is their turn yet.
Everyone's actions will still take place when they are supposed to, and I will compose write-ups that explain the action of each round clearly.
How's that?
-
I think option 2 (Everyone posts whenever they happen to be on) is the best option for a play by post game Jace :)...
Great action thus far! It seems like we are surrounded :)
-
By the way…the Nazis are wearing an army uniform or they are just dressed in civilian clothing and are carrying submachine guns?
-
They are dressed in fatigues and carrying SMGs.
-
Wow! It's only the start of the 3rd round and already 4 Nazis are down! Bullets hurt! :D
-
whoo!! shooty deff from da guns!!!!
-
It's your turn girlie! :sofa

Hey man, sorry I haven't been around lately, Internet has been out in our neighbourhood for about a week now. Uni (in other words I'll have at least some access to the internet again) starts again next monday, so I'll be able to get back into the game by then. Thanks for taking care of my PC and sorry for the trouble.

well that explains the absence heh..... :D

I have the gun that makes the heads explode. :D

I have a gun that seems to miss 50% of the time..... more experimentation is needed

That's why I'm awesome and you're not. :P
-
I just realized that I've been using a free 5-foot movement incorrectly in conjunction with my normal movement, for years now. Huh.
Move Action
[spoiler]A move action allows a character to move his or her speed or perform an action that takes a similar amount of time. A character can move his or her speed, climb one-quarter of his or her speed, draw or stow a weapon or other object, stand up, pick up an object, or perform some equivalent action (see Table: Actions in Combat).
A character can take a move action in the place of an attack action.
If a character moves no actual distance in a round, that character can take one 5-foot step before, during, or after the action. [/spoiler]
The only time this actually came up during this battle with NPCs is with Carlos's exit (which even not taking that 5-foot move, had no bearing to his escape).
In case you too didn't know this... be aware!
-
....I love my gun and the things it does to people....
-
Why does anyone advances right into the Area Max will be throwing a grenade on his round as already posted? :o hehehe
-
Technically, Loder moved to that position during the Third round. :lol
Now everyone else for that matter...
Perhaps you won't even get a chance to lob that grenade after all?
-
Round 3
Max moves to a better position, being behind cover from his attacker [move 30 ft to M10] draws one of his grenade toys [small statue] and tosses it towards him [targets square M4]
I know that things will likely change anyway, now that action in that corner has changed somewhat, but I can't see Max being able to make this toss of his grenade.
Check it out:

It would be a "Magic Grenade" theory if it worked! ;)
-
Yep wrong interpretation of the map…he can toss it 2 squares north from there though (K4)… :p
But I will wait to see anyone's action before Max's turn and then I may change his tactics...

Go with a simple flesh wound to your off-arm or something. You can be pretty liberal with your hit locations, as they don't hamper movement or anything according to the Rules As Written.
[ If this WAS a table-top, I'd probably incorporate called-shots and hit-location/effects, but as it is I think we're just fine the way it is. ]
So how's everyone's week been going for them? Mine's been alright. I had a nice chunk of three days off in a row earlier in the week, but now I'm already sick of work again. But I work Retail, so what do I expect. :D
I've had to close that past two evenings, and both night's we've had customers keep shopping after we closed. We give announcements over the intercom and everything announcing a 15...10...and 5... minute warning before we give the closing announcement at 9PM.
As a guy who's been in and out of Retail too many times in the past decade, I consider it inconsiderate behavior to shop at a store within the last 15 minutes of a store operational hours UNLESS I REALLY NEED SOMETHING or I really want something AND I KNOW WHERE IT IS. Otherwise, you're just fucking with the employees ability to close the store in a timely manner and go home.
If all customers are out of the store, I can take the last register down at 9PM. We can be clocked out and going home by 9:10PM.
These past nights I've been stuck at work until 9:40PM-- and THAT's when I'd be arriving at my apartment normally! Bastardos!
Anyway, I gotta shower, shave, and slave; I work in an hour (10AM) until 2PM... this is a nice short Sunday shift... AND I'm not a closer.
-
wow that really sucks! I used to work for domino's pizza (a super cool sexy delivery guy BTW, pizza with suave and style!) and my boss hated me so he used to keep deliveries until really late before letting me do them, once he made me take a delivery nearly ten miles away, he only let me take the pizza it at 9:50 I got home a nearly eleven o'clock because I couldn't find the damn house.
so in the end I got Girl-Tarot to come down to the store and shout at them for me...... I say let but she just wouldn't get out of the car when I told her to
......I am currently unemployed
-
updated my char-sheet to show current damage BTW
-
School is stressing me out, there is a coalition against my English professor and they might to try to make him fail me to discredit him. So I have to get a LOT of shit done today. Woo.
Work is work, it teaches me that people are stupid and can't use computers properly (I work for the ITS Helpdesk of my University since I'm a computer major).
-
The well-endowed squirrely wins the cage match, and with that being said. I'm going to change the poll to something much more setting thematic. If you character could see 1 movie in 1941, what would it be from the choices given?
-
Richard would go with The Wolf Man. Dramas and comedies don't interest him, The Maltese Falcon is more complicated than what he'd want to deal with, and Suspicion would just bore him. He has a fascination with the Supernatural having experienced things science just can't explain, and anything involving hunting a beast with the mind of a man would pique his interest due to the challenge.
-
Maltese Falcon for Dr. Loder. He's all about mysteries and the like.

Sorry 'bout the lack of posting this last week guys (and girl). No internet access for me...
Should be able to get at least one IC post in each day from mondays till fridays now that uni has started again.
Anyone care to fill me in on what's happened since I last posted? :)

In a nutshell:
After getting the gear at the brother, the two groups met back up again at the Pulpit Cantina... unfortunately this is when the Nazis showed up to "arrest" Harrison 'Bones' Avery.
The Party had issue with this, and combat broke out!
-
It would be nice if we could get to our gear...
And don't you dare have the Nazis use it against us, Jace! :P
-
Heh heh... Thanks for the idea!
The gear is strapped to the backs of mules outside, and being looked after by a Guatemalan man and his partially retarded brother. I'm sure everything is just fine...
...unless Carlos stole the stuff.
...unless the brothers ran away allowing the mules to wander through-out the town.
...unless...
j/k
-
*headdesk*
-
I looked through that gear list and don't want most of it anyway.
This isn't super happy fun camp. :P
-
But those Nazis really do have plans for your body bags! (At least it seems so, since they're all dying!)
-
Lookie what I just learned how to make:

-
Very nice, it goes a little fast though.
-
welcome back Mr Bowen. We missed you
(said like agent smith obviously)
-
Very nice, it goes a little fast though.
It does... I'll try to amend that in the final version at the end of the battle! :D
-
Holy Crap Neull//! I can't believe we both had our eyes on the same window! Nazi Hanz had to use his full movement and go all out in order to reach it by last turn!
Damn dirty stained glass windows! You can't see shit through them!
[spoiler](http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/4173/sneakpeak.jpg)[/spoiler]

Neull// -- I'm sorry.
Last night I realized the reason why you and I have had differing opinions on LoS.
I've never actually played in a session of 3.5 edition D&D. I've never opened a 3.5 Players manual until last night when I went to go play with some friends. And I happened across the DnD LoS rules... and lo and behold, there in full color, was the image showing an unobstructed LoS established from any corner of the attackers square to any corner of the Defender's square.
So with that being said, I will be more mindful of this in the future, and less restrictive in my calls regarding LoS as long as they meet the above requirement.
d20 Modern was my introduction to third edition-esque rules. I had to teach myself the rules, asking a question here or there of the random DnD'er, and asking ALOT of questions on the WotC Modern boards. Two of my gaming groups never played Modern before, and I was the one to teach them how to play. Our DnD games usually consist of "Hackmaster" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HackMaster). I reference the DMG I & II for use in Modern, but there is a TON I just don't know about from DnD.
Anyway, I appreciate your patience with me as I discover these particular ins-and-outs. ;)
-
D20 the only game where shooting guns never goes in the heroes favor -_- I hate missing
-
Don’t worry my friend as a DM myself I always follow the basic rule: Always go by what DM says :). You are doing a great job thus far and I am really enjoying this game.
-
Ugh, sorry 'bout that, uni was closed yesterday... (as I found out after an hour and a half worth of travelling :wall)
-
Also, nice Indiana Jones move there :D
-
Heh heh, totally--
I went out yesterday and got drunk for Cinco De Mayo, so sorry about not6 wrapping up the round of combat last night-- I will be wrapping up round 5 very soon after this posting, then we'll be onto Round 6 (though it is quite likely the last round! :clap)
-
I hope I at least get to shoot one Nazi this combat :P
-
Yeah, I've been too out of position to do much, so I'm just burning the church down. ;)
-
WHy is Nazi Egon not in the map any more? He is not dead yet...
-
Egon has fled during his last turn. He is no longer visible because you don't see him.
-
oups I missed that... :lol

No problem-- I have not forgotten you!
Also! If anyone else wants to search bodies, please select a corpse from the last posted battlemap and tell me that you are searching it. I will inform you if you find anything!
Hell if anything you'll get a few extra bucks!

I just need more bullets for my gun. :P

Excuses excuses. :p

So I hope that the battle went smoothly for everyone.
My home groups are heavy battlemat & minis users, and this was my first time running a battle via PbP. Overall though, I think that it went pretty well!
I'm glad though now, to get the show on the road, so to speak--
-
Yeah, the map was a great help (I'm a map & minis fan myself as well), so no complaints from me :)
Also, I've got internet again, so I should be able to somewhat increase the frequency and quality of my posts.
I'll update my sheet with any gear I've picked up so far this weekend, right now I'm preoccupied with beer :D
-
The map made me happy. :D
-
Jace, you keep referencing the First Aid kit information, but you gave us Medical Kits which can heal hit points.
-
Aye caramba! :o
-
Jace, you keep referencing the First Aid kit information, but you gave us Medical Kits which can heal hit points.
You are correct. I supplied both First Aid Kits and Medical Kits. Both times that I referenced the first aid kits, it was because they were being used in the incorrect situation.

You are correct. I supplied both First Aid Kits and Medical Kits. Both times that I referenced the first aid kits, it was because they were being used in the incorrect situation.
So why not assume they meant medical kit, since those of us that are used to D&D are used to having only one kind of healing kit? :p
-
I wasn't aware there were two types!? :bigeye
*reads big heavy RPG book, jeeze how do you guys just sit and read these things!? is so big!*
-

That is quite literally what she said. lol!
Okay-- I keep forgetting that I'm playing with non-modernites here, my bad! You must also excuse me for my lack of DnD knowledge as well!
First off, I will not hold the First Aid kit usage against your inventories. If you tried to use a FAK recently, don't remove it from your inventories.
Second, now that we've had this discussion, rather than "substituting" the first aid kits, for med kits, we can just use the medical kits...
Hopefully the good Doctor will come online soon and assist with this, but Richard has a decent Treat Injury skill as well, so you both might as well break out the Medical kit and go to work on the walking wounded.
In the future I will try to be more player friendly when posting. Sometimes I'm in a hurry, or I'm stoned or something ;) so I EPIC FAIL on clear communication-- I will do more than post a rule saying that what you tried was bogus, and I will at least give an OOC explanation of what you may want to have tried to do instead.
Does this sound cool?
So with that being said... the currently injured list is:
Richard HP 26/34
Max HP 30/38
Russo HP 22/30
Eisen HP 31/37
Whip out some med kits and go to town! :D
EDIT: I'm about to run out the door and head to work. I will post In-Game in about the next 10 to 12 hours.
-
Max 31/ 38 he has DR 1 :D
-
How'd he get that?
Just finished my item list on my character sheet. Everything should be up to date again :)
-
hehe it is simply a tough talent... :lmao
-
Ow right, forgot about that :P

I just woke up. Sorry about not being able to post yesterday as I hoped-- after work I got invited over to this girl's place who I'm sweet on and I ended up staying there pretty late.
Anyway, let me get some coffee into my system and the sleepy-dust out of my eyes. I'll be posting. (i don't have to work until this evening...)

...I'm going to be good and restrain myself from saying things now.
-
I'm sorry about the internet situation, but I promise to be back ASAP.
In the meantime, please post as much as you can in-character until then though I'm sure at one point it will stall. BOnes has some hopefully cool stuff to reveal before bed tonight, so don't turn in early unless you want to risk missing it.
I recommend reading the Dunning letters again, and discussing the landmarks and possible clues. BOnes will have something to say most likely when I get back. Also, if you find that it is in character, now would be the time to discuss anything else you think your PC would likley want to discuss (or not).
Sorry once again my friends. I'll see you again soon!

RAWR!!!!

IT'S ALIIIIIIVE!!!!!! :D

heh heh--
I'm awake.
Getting various things together for today's posts...
-
Ugh! What a crapfestastic day-- life got up and shook its finger at me for most of the day.
I'm working on the game post as I write this though...
-
Flay, you should have received the PM revealing the updated info on Karl Dietrich. Sharing the info with the group is up to you at this point.
-
Sorry, yeah yeah, two finals at ass-ends of the day, which has kinda been interchanged with work this week., I'm ba-ack, and just posted.
-
Yeah, I'll be slow as well for the next week, more assignments and an exam will take up most of my time unfortunately.
I'll try to keep up at least somewhat though :)

Looking up from his notes, Dr. Loder suddenly realizes he's alone as he watches Max run off into the darkness. "Uhh, guys?"
Wow, that's asking for trouble right there...
I take it Doc Loder hasn't seen that many horror flics? :P
-
Russo's still there, he'll look after the good doctor maybe not considering his earlier shooting rounds

At least the Kid didn't say "I'll be right back." I'm waiting for someone to break from the group at machete landing and say "you guy's go on, I'll catch up."

Two questions:
1) Do we have any idea of the whereabouts of the representatives of the League of Nations (DuMont and Wilkes)? They stayed in Kingston Queen or in town?
2) Could you please remind me who exactly was Albert Dunning, what was he doing in the lost city, and how we have his letters?

2) Could you please remind me who exactly was Albert Dunning, what was he doing in the lost city, and how we have his letters?
No problem, a couple of answers!
1) DuMont and Wilkes were assigned to deliver your briefing, after which time they were going to take the return trip with the Steamer. They were both last seen heading below deck to partake in some alcohol the Captain was serving, then probably back to their cabins.
2) An expedition took place during the 1920’s. Letters were written by a man named Albert Dunning to his mother to whom he describes the expedition’s journey to a lost city. Dunning was the only man to make it back, but he died from his injuries in a native village. His letters never made it home; rather they ended up in the possession of a missionary. They resurfaced the hands of private collectors, then traded and sold until the Nazis took an interest in them. Thanks to Herr Abendroth we now have the first three of these instead of the Ahnenerbe.
These letters are our Ace in the Hole. If you can successfully find and follow Dunning’s trail based on the descriptions written about in the letters, then we may just beat the Nazis at their own game this time.
Find a guide and try, as best you can, to follow the trail of Albert Dunning.
Hitler believes that there is a powerful relic to be found in this lost city. If this artifact exists we want to get it before he does, even if it turns out to be just a lump of useless stone. Even something symbolically powerful could be used in the Nazi Propaganda machine.

This is about where you guys (& gal) are at on the map. It was only a couple of hours until dusk so you haven't gotten very far, but you would have been further back still had it not been for Richard's Survival instinct.
-
No other encounters for the first night, but it should be decided now how to split the shifts.
"Whichever watch, I can cover the midnight fine any and all nights. Short rotating shifts, or long shifts over rotating days?"
Pingo, Bones, Esteban, and Paco are all available. You could take turns, or you could have two-man watches as well.
Watches will become more important down the road. You can't expect Pingo to be hiding in the Jungle EVERY night.
Discuss. :)
-
damn, and here I was hoping he was going to form the bulk of our random encounters
-
Two man with the same shift each night, or three shifts a night, rotating in an ordered schedule so you get a different shift depending on the night would be good. Just as an OOC that relates to IC knowledge; dad did paratrooper and ranger training, apparently that's one of the best ways to do watch with limited groups. The shit he randomly taught me... anyways, two men per shift twice a night or one man per shift three times a night is a good way to go.
-
Well, two pair of eyes and ears is better than one, so I say we go with the 2x2 thing :)
-
Also, will post IC again tomorrow night. Too drunk/tired/stressed at the moment for a decent post.
-
Name Your Mule!
There are six characters and there are six mules. So give your Mule a name here on the OOC. You are welcome to use it in-game if you wish, but you don't have to if it isn't within your character. But for us players, it'd be fun!
Afterward we will vote on the best mule name, by poll. Huzzah for ridiculous polls!
-
Cmhulhu...
or Mulethulu...
:P
-
Richard refuses to name his mule.
But I name him Jimbo-Jones the Jaunty Jackass!
:P
-
I name him "mule"
-
I name him "mule"
Damn, I was gonna say that!
-
Can I call my Tommygun "Vera"? :P
-
I shall call it Silver and it shall be my noble steed!
-
Hi-ho Silver, away!
:P
Nice one, Tarot, nice one :)

I'm going on vacation for a month starting tomorrow. Internet access is going to be sporadic as I'm not sure where I'll be staying when. If this ends up posing too much of a problem you can pull my character out or take control of him.
-
Having him leading the party in an NPC way will not pose a problem. I think I have a good handle on how he acts/reacts, so if need be I can step in here or there if need be.
Have a good month, and I'll see you over in j0lt's game (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=4459.0) around then as well!

:poke

Happy Monday. I hope you all had a good weekend!
Remember that normal posting continues throughout the week, and I require one post per day per active player. Posting habits have slipped a bit during my absence, and I hope we can get back to posting regularly again. Otherwise this game is going to slow down, and no one wants that! :bigeye
In-Game you guys are very close to reaching Orino Perro, the village where Bones spends more time than he should, and where the man left his river craft.
-
look out! hell hath no fury like a GM scorned!
-
It isn't that-- I'm not angry or anything. Just concerned-- I hope that my loss of internet didn't kill the pace this game was maintaining.
Weekends are freebies, so I never really know the sort of posting I can expect. I'm just putting it out there that we have begun yet another week, and freebies are over.
It could be that I expect too much though, but the 1 Post per Day rule was one that came highly recommended. Otherwise the pacing of this will bog down severely, and this campaign is too big for a slower pace to work.
Travel isn't very fun, so I'm minimizing it as much as possible-- giving you chunk descriptions for an entire days journey, but if no one posts during the Campfire sequences, especially when discussing important game information where in-character choices and decisions need to be discussed, then there isn't anything I can do to shove the game along.
I look for participation. If I come online and see that no one has posted in the 8 hours that I have been away, obviously my hands are tied. At this point I have to sit back and wait, usually another 8 hours or so.
A players argument is: Well, I didn't see anything for my character to react to or interact with.
The rule is still one post per day. Create something to interact with, or send your PC to bed. I can't know if I need to continue without these sorts of posts to give me the indication that I need.
Comments? Questions? General Feedback?
-
For me it's mostly that I'm still pretty busy, and that kinda tends to kill my creativity. And I don't really wanna make crummy posts, so sometimes I just don't get around to posting a reaction for every little thing that could potentially be of interest to my character.
I'll try to pick up the pace somewhat though, getting at least 1 post a day on weekdays.
Still very much liking this campaign, no worries about that :)
-
Well, you know I'm?into this campaign, but there are times when I'm not so sure what use my posts will make. Aside from that, this is freakin' awesome! If is weren't for this game, I'm not sure if I'd be so into d20 Modern!
-
*points up* What he said :)
-
this is my first outing into anything even remotely d'n'd-ish, i wasn't really sure what to expect, but i like it, you built a large interesting world... well so i hear Tarot keeps hinting at something epic but he just wont tell me no matter how I.... persuade him. the NPCs are deep and largely meaningful, they have lol-worthy (tarot's word not mine) dialogue and I can't wait to see whats round the corner the delays only heightening the suspense.
My only issue is that it just seems that Russo is a fairly crappy, useless character, honestly what the hell was Tarot thinking when he made him!?
skills in Egyptology!? Piloting!? not an ounce of mayan knowledge about him except for some vague knowledge checks, no knowledge of survival, the area, local history or anything. Hell the guy isn't even very good at combat he misses most shots and ends up a human bullet bag
.....
rant over... I'm calm now :D
-
Mechanically speaking, you are probably correct that Russo is a less than optimized character-- but that doesn't make his a "crappy" one per say-- I personally ENJOY Russo, but he's certainly not a BADASS. In his own mind he sometimes thinks he is, but really, he isn't-- and THAT can make for a great character. Hollow Bravado! Hilarious!

but i like it, you built a large interesting world...
You have no idea... Large doesn't even begin to describe this campaign! I've been lucky enough to help Jace out on a few parts of it and I can say that it goes so far beyond any other gameworld I've ever even heard of!

Edit: in a way, you're unlucky to have started out with what may be the most well-developed d20 Modern campaign ever. If we ever manage to play through the whole thing, every other campaign you play in will feel amateur and lame compared to this.

hee hee thanks, and sorry I do like it here but I don't think I'll continue to the main campaign, I'll let Tarot take over, hell he practically writes most of the posts anyway I get a lot of help from him but largely its rather intuitive history check rolls for looking at old stuff, charisma stuff for trying to get laid (or wealth checks in Bowen's case). there have been times he's posted without even telling me. but its a nice break from work or stressing about work.... or getting harassed by work etc
hell if I can find enough time I might make my own character for the big league and join in with all of ya.
-
honestly I just don't get why she doesn't have her own account anyway, it would make things easier for both of us -_-
-
Eh, not that hard to start one, is it?
-
no she just seems to think it would upset the balance of the cosmos if she makes an account then drops it later
-
Yes, it will cause a rift to open to the Far Realms and Ctulhu himself will come forth...:eh
-
it might do :bigeye you never know. what if that was the plan of the gameologists all along?
-
Go Mulethulhu :D

I have an excuse for not posting! :P

Another angle. All the green columns and psuedo-columns represent the jungle around the village. Not mountains.
I have an excuse for not posting! :P
:clap And yet you STILL managed a post! :D
-
You know, with the whole pulp Nazis in the jungle thing going on, I realized we're only 1 or 2 steps from a campaign like this:
(http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv39/JoopKoenraads/Random/DinoReich.jpg)
Nazis, Allies find Lost Continent That Time Forgot. Battle ensues amidst dinosaurs and giant insects.
The Lost World meets Raiders of the Lost Ark :P
EDIT: Really a more 1940's pulp version of this:

oh hellz yah!!! :love
as long as Russo gets to pilot a triceratops I'm happy! :D
-
Or you could pilot a pterosaur of sorts so you can actually fly :D
-
None of that now. :P
Btw Jace, you're doing a good job with Richard. So good that I can't find any reason to post in the game thread this time. :P
-
Lazy bum :P
Hope you're enjoying that vacation :)
-
I played a D&D game session that has created a reference to Badger Jesus. I'm fine. :D
Currently living at my best friend's house so I've got internet and get on when I think about it/ am really bored.
-
Nanshork-- I will back off a bit so when you do come on you CAN post, if you want.
Bowen, that Nazi Dino is awesomeness. I'll have to keep that in mind for something in another campaign perhaps!
Tell me that the Michael J. Fox character in this movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xXOXabrq6s&feature=PlayList&p=DA9AF8748E44B471&index=0&playnext=1) doesn't totally remind you of Dr. Loder! He appears at about 2 minutes in.
If you guys and gal haven't watched this movie, you should! It's a good one, at least IMHO it is. It also reminds me somewhat of this campaign, but only certain aspects of it.
-
That is TOTALLY Loder! :D
Good find! I haven't seen it yet, but always wanted to.
-

Haha, it does :lmao
-
Sorry for the delay in posting today, but there's quite a bit of information that I need to respond with-- various skill checks, and sights and sounds to describe.
I will have it posted today.
-
Eh, don't worry 'bout it. You're the most (pro)active online DM/GM I ever had, and one of the best in general :)
-
One other thing:
TarotDragoon! You posted your skill checks under a spoiler, but didn't actually include and check results! :p
Eh, don't worry 'bout it. You're the most (pro)active online DM/GM I ever had, and one of the best in general :)
Aw shucks... :blush
-
Ah, forgot to mention that about Tarot after I noticed it. Sorry TD/Jace :)
-
oops damn it sorry about that... damn and I have no record of the roll either
ugh gonna have to re-roll :p
-
Good job there airhead ;) :P
-
If that thing in that pictures will come true all the things in war will be fantastic.
And how! :D
-
Something is telling me a jaguar, and not this El Beastie. Watch me get that shoved back in my face being wrong...
-
Either that, or maybe Bones or Pingo :P
-
good point where is pingo at the moment?
Good job there airhead ;) :P
don't be rude Bowen :D :p

This was a good way to start my morning:

Thanks, I almost choked on my lunch from laughter :lmao
-
Hahahaha, didn't see that coming at all. It started and I'm like, "she's not TERRIBLE at it."
Dude, the fuck is with my rolls today? I have gone whole games w/o nat 20's.
-
LMAO!! :lmao :lmao
nice one Flay you killed it!
blind shot through a hut and you killed the damn thing, what if we could have tamed it and then ridden it through the jungle, you're going to feel terrible for depriving us of so many fun handle animal checks :P :lol
great shot though :D
-
Well, so much for El Abuelo... ;)
-
I'm expecting it to be our guide or some important NPC...
-
No response huh? So maybe it couldn't speak...
Good job, you just killed Pingo :P

Nice going with the tripod :P
-
Where can you see lions? (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/kenya/)
So yeah. good times. Too bad about the bovine though. I had kinda hoped he might make it. But nice critical!
So OOC, what are some of your thoughts as to what's up with this place? If we were sitting around a table right now what comments would you have? :)
-
My initial thought is that everyone was dragged off by the nazis for one reason or another.
-
Similar; at first, I'd just suspected that they'd gone to Santa Boca for the celebrations that I think were supposed to be going on for god knows what reason, but the fight and the tracks made me think nazis. Also, I'm currently very worried as to whether or not nazis were waiting down at the pier for Bones and co, though I think we'd have heard shots and Bones running, I'm excited from the jungle sounds (though I think the cow sums up how jumpy we all are) and the fact that we haven't even made our way into town yet!
-
Nice going with the tripod :P
I know, can't believe we forgot that, my excuse is it used to be bolted to a plane so a tripod isn't necessary most of the time ;) Russo must have got hold of one after he sold his plane.
I also forgot to mention Espada on Russo's character sheet, ughh what is with me this game!? I'm usually really on the ball with this kind of stuff.
on another note I'm I the only one who suspects Cthulhu?
HE COMES!
-
Thinking Nazis took away the villagers right now, although I'm not quite sure why...

don't worry Russo and heather will look after everybody :D

You're not exactly near the tavern at the moment, are you? :P

Yeah, and if things turn bad you have Machete there :P

loving the recaps Jace they work very nicely, :clap
on a more serious note, where the hell is Avery and Pingo!?
-
Thanks!
On Bones and his hairless Chewbacca Pingo... they went off to retrieve their boat from where they had it moored. Bones is a paranoid type, what with all these Nazis looking for him AND his boat. It would seem likely that Bones had the foresight to stash the boat somewhere he believes to be safe.
A bit after he gets the boiler hot, and the steam engine running, he'll bring it right up to the dock!
Right? :evillaugh

Jace, since I keep popping on right after you've posted something do you mind just taking over Richard until I get back home? I'll pm you when I do so that you've got a heads up.

hello jace my man i see your game is under way and rolling along very nicely. i have read all the posts so far and i am loving it.....also regretting the fact that real life prevented me from joining when ya offered..... :fo to you real life!!!
to all the players here, you are all lucky SOB's the artifact campaign is one of the best campaigns i have had the pleasure of reading/helping with minor contributions/pirating and running myself.
jace your a genius!! :clap
this is also the first i have ever seen a message board rpg in action that was not chaotic and incomprehensible, you guys are doing a great job.
i will be keeping an eye on the game maybe posting here from time to time. rock on you guys, and dont forget your bear traps and sugar! lol happy hunting

About what date will you be back in town? Just so I can keep that in my head. I'll post it on the News Board to remind me! :p

Thanks JoeKap! I'm glad you came by!
Yeah, I was bummed to see that old MASSIVE Artifact thread vanish over at WotC. I had JUST posted on it a week or two prior too! That is some BULLshit if you ask me. No warning.
Aw well-- That's exactly the reason why I had originally jumped ship to Brilliant Gameologists. I didn't appreciate their treatment of the Modern boards, or d20 Modern itself for that matter.
I WOULD have carried the entire Artifact threads (threads) over to this place... BUT I had JUST decided that I wanted to try running it as a PbP, and it didn't seem like such a good plan to drop 1/8 of my campaign's material on the same place that I ran it.
About half of my players here have been to the old WotC Artifact links, but as you can clearly see (since you read up on this beat so far) it is WAAAAY different. The sights and smells are the same, but everything else has been dropped in a blender and re-imagined from scratch, almost.
Anyway, yeah-- keep posting.
-
thats good keep us on our toes Jace ;)
surely he could still join in somehow if he wanted to, rescue the character from cannibals perchance? I don't believe WOtC I hate the way they treat D20 it's just irritating, if it doesn't make them money they don't care
[spoiler](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/7aro7dragoon/Photo454.jpg)[/spoiler]
something I randomly sketched... it's not very impressive, not nearly up to Jace's standards, just thought I would share it
-
Nice :D
-
Better than anything I could do! Though I do draw a mean stickman... :D
-
the camera seems to have reversed it as well -_-
ignore the troll in the background, you can't really see anything from that image, I'll probably scan it in at one stage.... you know if I can figure out how to use the damn thing :banghead
-
That's fucking awesome!
I don't draw nearly enough anymore! I'm trying REAL hard to get back into it. That is really cool!
-
Hurray for flashlights :D

too bad the batteries are dead. J/K. lol

I brought spares ;)

Ow bugger...
Good luck, Tarot :)
Hope you can turn that gun of yours 180 degrees ;)

me too...
I hate zombies :bigeye

I'll be back sometime during the last week of this month. I'm driving so I have't picked an exact date yet.
-
cool thanks Nanshork!
-
I will post again when I wake up. It's been a looong day, and that bed of mine looks comfortable!
-
aahhhhhh sleep, my greatest enemy and my closest friend
girl tarot is gonna be pissed shes missing all the zombies :p
-
You might want to start calling for help, Tarot :P

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany time guys....... :p

Is he dead yet? No? Crap! Maybe if we run while he's pinned down...
What do you mean the mic is still on? Shi*CLICK* ;)

Haha, I LOL'd severely at this :lol
Thanks guys (girl?), I needed that :)

Doh!
You edited your move to be completely different than it was to start with! Now I have to scratch my post I was working on!! Boo! Boooooo!
-
Haha, annoying the GM is always fun.
Let's see how much it takes to give jace an aneurysm :P *hides*
-
sorry Jace!! :bigeye I was just so conflicted when I saw all those options (http://12tomidnight.com/d20modernsrd/SpecialAttacks.php)
-
Hey, I was only hoping that you would make the right choice and not die. There is only so much a GM can do!
-
Nice work with the Kid and Richard :D
Hope the Kid gets away and we can get a fix on Muta once we're all back together though :)
-
And that my friends is how you build excitement! ;)
The kid is fine, thanks to Richardtimely stepping in. Otherwise Muta would have attacked him. The Kid is a 2nd level NPC! He would have been K I L L E D.
-
Wow, second level, nice :D
Looks like Russo has a helper-monkey ;)
-
nice timely Deus ex machina from Richard there, saved both our asses
also:
kid on Heather lol (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-AZez4iPJA) well.... sorta, Heather and Anna are bigger than that and air-cooled rather than water cooled

And yeah, Katt Williams is awesome :D
-
You've all been playing your PCs for quite some time now, certainly you've gotten a better feel for them. I have a couple of questions that I'd like to ask you:
1) Has your PC changed at all from your original concept? Explain.
2) Name 3 traits that really describe your PC's personality.
-
Too be honest, my original concept wasn't much more than 'U.S. Army grunt, deadpan snarker when faced with strange/normally traumatizing things, professional in the line of duty.'...
I never really have an overtly written out background for my characters, just some basic ideas. I like to work things like that out during the actual game, see where it leads and all that.
John did turn out to be a bit less deadpan and slightly more social/considerate than I thought, but I still don't have a real grasp on his personality. I've got some additional background and personality traits I'm working on, but I don't want to introduce too much of that until I'm pretty sure it's something that helps me get inside his head, so to speak.
As for the 3 traits...
1) Loyal to his teammates. They all have the same mission, and even though their motivation may vary, they've all got the same goal in mind and seem to realize they need each other to realize that goal.
2) Professional. He might crack a joke every now and then, but when he needs to get down to business he's dead serious.
3) Stubborn. If something doesn't work the first time, he'll give it another go. He won't accept defeat and keep trying when he's doing something he believes is worth doing, something that serves a higher goal so to speak.
-
I always envisioned Dr. Loder as someone who could get his hands dirty, but was in no way prepared for military conflict. I kind of patterned him after Daniel Jackson from Stargate/SG-1. Thus far he's been true to form, but I think he'll start to evolve further as things progress.
3 Traits:
1 - Bookish. Loder was the kind of guy who would have been chosen last for sports teams in school, but aced the exams. Particularly in the sciences.
2 - Curious. Despite his apparent inexperience in matters of combat, Dr. Loder isn't afraid to go anywhere as long as there's the chance to discover some long lost bauble of pre-columbian Mayan culture.
3 - Good natured. Loder's happy-go-lucky attitude is hard to suppress, even in the most dire circumstances.
-
Daniel Jackson from Stargate/SG-1.
I thought I noticed a couple of those traits, especially of the earlier Daniel Jackson in the first 3 or so seasons :)
Awesome :D
-
That makes a lot of sense, since I've only ever seen the first season (and first episode of the second season)
-
never really got into stargate, it was on all the time on sky anyway so I used to just watch an episode when I had nothing else to do.
so far Russo seems to be how I originally planned him, he derailed a bit when girl-Tarot took over but he got better :p I originally intended him to be a little more suave and annoying but thats mostly my RP skills rather than his fault (bless him!) I also meant him to be a little cooler but as Jace said there's nothing funnier than empty bravado. also he was meant to be a little more womanizey but since there is nobody really to womanize it makes this trait a little pointless
1. cowardly. though he has his moments he would much rather run from a fight where he has the obvious disadvantage
2. snide. isn't easily impressed and if he is he certainly doesn't show it, making inappropriate comments and sarcastic remarks... except when he's pissed off or can't be bothered (i.e currently)
3. curious. Though he tries to show that he's above this sort of thing, whenever something ancient and/or unexplained comes along he loves to make his little knowledge: history checks
-
Okay gentlemen, here you have an explosive device. But it isn't going to be as easy as a single Demolitions check to defeat it.
If your character's were really here, they would no doubt want to know as much as possible about the bomb, and how it is rigged. So think carefully about your actions, and I offer the following skills as a reminder of your various options; search, spot, disable device, knowledge: technology.
When you THINK that you are ready to us Demolitions, let me know! ;) Just remember. You CAN get blown to bits if you aren't careful!
so no pressure or anything :D
I'm taking bets!
who is going to win? the Halcon Bomb or the inexperienced Demolition Duo!?
place your bets now people
-
Haha, I bet it's the "inexperienced Demolition Duo" who are the two bomb votes.
That being said, my original idea was really flexible; he might be a bit cold seeming or anti-social only because he's spent the last long while behind enemy lines doing saboteur work against the nazi's in their own motherloving country. So, I suppose I was going to develop him based on what the group brings out in him, which are such lovely traits as cynicism, humor, a few other minor things. He's getting to be more open around the group, but he's still the German stereotype professional.
Aaaand that brings us to todays traits!
1) German: Very mechanically professional, he does everything by a patterned order, and prefers organization to improv.
2) I'll come up with another two later... he's kinda... simple to describe, which makes it difficult, y'know?
-
I just couldn't resist voting, a bomb with that many possible skill checks is destined to go off :lmao but I am still pulling for you guys and keeping my fingers crossed :D
-
I voted for the bomb. Hopefully it won't kill you guys outright. :P
-
Thanks guys, really appreciate the support :P

Update: I'll be driving back home on Friday so I will be ready to pick up Richard's reins on Saturday. I'm still keeping up to date on what's going on though (sort of).
-
Awesome! Can't wait to have you back! :D
-
I just couldn't resist voting, a bomb with that many possible skill checks is destined to go off :lmao but I am still pulling for you guys and keeping my fingers crossed :D
Too funny! I like that it kind of adds a little more edge to an otherwise "boring" failed bomb disposal. Afterall, there SHOULD be added tension! These guys are defusing a nasty bomb!
-
Yup, I do the same thing for my traps in fantasy campaigns. Have to take the Traps and Treachery books one step further for the rogues in my group so they don't get bored. (and so I don't get bored of blowing them up :smirk)
-
I could learn a thing or two from you guys.
you should write a book
"How to dispose of overconfident PC's"
or
"Traps, Bombs and skill checks there's more than one way to skin a halfling"

*3/4 of a mile = Listen DC: 386 :P :P loooooooooooooooooooooool
I guess we cannot always follow the rules by the book...Even normal people (not fantastic heroes) could hear a gunshot within 1-2 kilometres in a rural environment..
-
im guessing thats just mostly flat with a bit of forest, we have a whole jungle between us and the gunshot, full of DC increasing monkeys and distracting bugs and birds and such.
have fun with Muta you two, he's lovely once you get to know him :)

Yeah, that is a crazy RAW Listen Check DC.
It is quite high though,even if we were to discount the the -1 per every ten feet. Jungles are often described as being as loud as any city, and if you take in account the rising and falling of the land, as well as the dense trees, and overhead jungle canopy-- I could see it... If anything, with the constant drizzle, it could have been mistaken for thunder in the distance, under all the other layers of sound.
Either way. I'm sticking with it in this case.

j0lt kept expecting an entire village of Zombies, (And since I own more than 20 zombie movies, I am sooo the guy to put them in there)... but it wasn't right for what I'm trying to accomplish tone-wise for the Prologue itself.
This PbP is the third time I've run The Prologue since I first started the first Artifact campaign... what four years or so ago? I keep telling them that this is the best version of this campaign to date, and it is. I've expanded Santa Boca, changed everything about Orino Perro (except the Grateful Goat Tavern :D)
I've redrawn every map that was used in the past and a complete overhaul of adventure pacing. Because this campaign has been in the works for sooo long, I have a much better idea of how and where to seed relevant game info (of course there are always red herrings :p)
The BIGGEST change is yet to come-- I've been getting a decent amount of interest by more players who have begun to follow the Artifact Prologue, and harbor interest in joining the "Main Game" when we get there. It's beginning to look like like I may enough players to run a Second Squad, of sorts. I've got a BUNCH of ideas I'm mulling over on exactly how this will work, but if this is the direction I decide to go... I think it will be something special.
-
Oooo a second squad.....let me know if that's going to happen, I might be down for that. Never played in a PbP before though, so I would be losing the proverbial PbP virginity to your game
-

Heh. No problem. I have a handful of friends for whom their PbP experience is near null, and many of them are the ones who are getting into this-- they've been following what's been happening, and they are excited about this game.
I'm just GUESSING, but based roughly on what needs to happen yet in the Prologue, and the general pace of the gameplay-- Think Thanksgiving or Christmas for the start of the main story.
-
you mean lots of people have been watching our every move!? O_O
I feel stalked

Love the new poll by the way :P

I HAVE RETURNED!!!!!!!!

Edited post, sorry 'bout the trouble :)

aww poor Jace, silly aircon being all mean like that
(cute pussy btw)
also welcome back Nanshork
-
Well, The A/C is alive and well, and dry as a bone (THANK THE MAKER!)-- Whilst lurking on other areas of this site, I came upon THIS LINK (http://notevendoommusic.com/).
Enjoy!
-
So as I was passing out in a drunken stupor last night (AKA: Bed Time) I was thinking-- "Damn! I'm really enjoying the different characters from the Artifact game"
Seriously though-- you guys have done a great job with the diverse group that we have, and the personality quirks that have evolved are freaking great!
Last night when I got home, I was reading the most recent part, where everyone is starting to put the pieces together-- and it was just exciting to see it unfold! This game keeps me as a GM totally involved and excited, which of course is what you want from you GM anyway. Kudos to all!
Nanshork/Richard has been given clues, as has Neull/Max. All the information to figure stuff out is "in play" so to speak, so as you fit the pieces together various realizations will unfold. At least, that is my hope.
Bones' translation of the old woman, Zaikara's description of What took place and in what order is significant as well... just to give you a nudge. ;)
-
don't forget those NPCs Jace you did a fantastic job on them, each so varied and interesting and the avatars were a stroke of genius helps you get a feel for what they look like adding to their own hinted pasts and conflicting interests its great stuff! Best. GM. Ever

The stone dagger strikes the wood, but shatters in Sgt. Kestrel's hand. It seems that sacrificial dagger had never been intended for stabbing poles, and its extreme age only amplified that fact.
The group now has 3 priceless obsidian-bladed stone daggers now.
I'm so glad Loder didn't see that happen, he probably would've fainted!
-
I made a boo boo :embarrassed
Sorry for shattering the priceless macguffin, guys :P
EDIT: Looking forward to Loder's reaction. He should return at about the same time as I struck that pole/returned the shattered remains to Russo :P
-
Now you know why there wasn't just "one sacrificial dagger"... :lol :lmao :clap
-
:lol
-
you had to break it didn't you :rollseyes
-
Hey, if it's supposed to be useable against a supernaturally enhanced warrior, it shouldn't have a problem with an old wooden post ;)
-
This is why we can't have nice things!
-
:lmao
I'm gonna have to hear this for a long time, right? :p
-
Yes, yes you are.
BAD BOWEN BAD! Don't make me spank your hairy bear ass that you threatened to show me pictures of. :P
-
And that's running joke number two *makes mental note* :P
-
Hehe, really loving the conflict that's forming at the moment :)
Makes things a bit more interesting :D
-

I was literally Laughing Out Loud!
-
omg, that was hilarious! You broke the Obsidian knife. :lmao
But good job on fully sticking to your character Bowen, I almost could see that coming from the moment you picked up one of the daggers. :clap
-
Thanks :)
Glad we've got spares :P
Note to GM: Whenever incorporating priceless ancient artifacts, always make sure there's more than one :lmao
-
and never let Bowen touch it
-
:D
-
and never let Bowen touch it
Eww, I never let Bowen touch it... er, you meant the Artifact, didn;t ya? heh heh heh...
-
with this track record I wouldn't let him touch anything I valued :D
-
:lmao
-
we could give Johns the broken one and let him use it with a grenade...that will do the trick sending fragments of the dagger all over the place...it will both suit his style (destroying ancient relics) and our purpose (killing paranormal entities) :D
-
Dude, that's awesome :D
Think you can help me customize a grenade? :)
EDIT: How's that for a Holy Handgrenade :P (sorry, obligatory ;))
-
I could but I am not sure if our good Doctor or Russo would find it a good idea... :lol
-
They don't need to know :D
Besides, it's for a good cause ;)
-
Russo has his own plans for the dagger, namely just wrapping it to a knife hilt to restore it to working order, but I guess he only need one shard for that :plotting
-
Sounds like a plan :)
-
nice you guys are doing a very entertaining job, i love reading the games going ons.....although the people i play table top with are insane when it comes to player vs player conflict so i was waitin to see someone get shot over the dagger breakage :clap
jace again awesome job. and when this part is over i want you to know i WILL shamlessly pirate all your hard work and creativity and run it for some undeserving shamoemoes in my area....giving you all the credit (as "some cool dude i met on the internet").
sorry to hear about your AC problem, glad its up and running again, its to hot to be without it.
and ya know what else is weird....you working at a quiznos and being a cool RPG nerd/stoner/all around cool guy.....
and me and my RPG nerdom /stoners/all around cool guy ( im sure someone some where thinks i am anyway).....working at a subway!!!
its like bizzaro world kinda :plot :plot
good day all keep up the good work, and dont let the man get ya down!!!
-
Hah! Quiznos! Them bastiches handed me my walking papers last June ONE week before I was to go on vacation! The bosses had been complaining about their financial woes every since they had opened up their third store and had made me manager of their first.
I wasn't the only one of us let go for varying reasons-- I crash landed a couple months down the road at Michael's Arts and Crafts. I found work there for my other friends who got the boot from Quiznos. All of us who got canned, had been CORE employees for our boss, which meant that we got paid MUCH more than the average "sandwich artist"--
Since then, they had to close their second of three stores. I hope the bastards choke. They HONESTLY really fucked my life up, and I'm STILL reeling from it, just over a year later. I hope that they drop dead, and I hope that I can watch so I can be there to laugh heartily.
I give Subway ALL of my sammich money these days. Fuck The Q! :clap
Yeah, Joe the night I read what Bowen/Sgt. Kestrel had attempted to with the knife-- I had company over "they were like 'Holy shit!'-- they came by the next day to see what had resulted.
I assume that Bowen was trying to see if there was a +1 attached anywhere in the Obsidian Daggers stats. But sadly, if there had been, the dagger was still very ancient. Boo-urns. :banghead
Also, Joe-- turns out that the now infamous "Badlands" thread was NOT deleted by WotC-- this time I copied & pasted the entire bastard into a Word document (it's close to 300 fucking pages!!!)--
Cannibalism goes both ways man-- you cannibalize my campaign for your group-- I think that I'm going to cull the best ideas out of that Badlands Thread and re-gift them when the time comes. Specifically Leadfeather's Echo Temple and environs...
But that has NOTHING to do with the Prologue! Heh! (well... not directly, at least ;))
I haven't played tabletop in MONTHS-- some guys I game with from time to time had been trying to get me into a 3.5D&D game, but my work schedule and my interest levels have basically removed me from that-- though I did get a re-invite when they took the campaign into 4E-- I suppose I should at least TRY 4E, but again, time isn't my pal.
-
Richard will get his revenge, just you wait. :D
-
Well screw tabletop. Jace, if you ever run another game, make sure to drop me a line, pretty please! (And if you could do a fantasy 3.5 gestalt game so I could try out my DBZ wilder ;) that's be sweet!)
-

Meh, Kestrel just wanted to see if it would really be as useful as a standard issue military knife in close-combat. Would suck to find out it isn't up to the task when you're already tangling with a 'demon'/deranged Nazi :D
Just my character's pragmatic (and somewhat narrowminded :P) mindset :D
I do love the reactions it got though :lol
Well screw tabletop. Jace, if you ever run another game, make sure to drop me a line, pretty please!

What happened to our mules? We loaded them in the ship?

That would be a pretty damn intense game-- that's for sure-- Zombies really require called-shot rules to work well though-- it's just that I haven't really found any that I like enough.
Zombie games, IMHO, don't really have any lasting appeal-- unless of course the GM had a really good story behind it all-- but a zombie game for the sake of a zombie game-- it gets old...
I ran one tabletop for my Black Isle (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=650.0) group. It was based off the adventure module that comes packaged with the ALL FLESH (http://www.allflesh.com/) MUST BE EATEN Zombie Master's Screen (http://www.allflesh.com/8001.html). I converted it to modern. The players rolled up some basic characters, and off we went. The main issue that I had with my own personal boredom levels, was that it was the same encounters... again and again.
I think that if I was to do it all over again, I'd spend a LOT more time revising the scenario and the zombies alike--
-
I was going to say something completely different Bowen...and then I decided that Richard really doesn't like you. :fu
-

Alright, I've got the first rendition of my d20 Modern overhaul posted up, including a called shot rule.
You can find 'em here: j0lt's d20 Modern Revision (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=4937.0)

I've been working on some that I'll post up later once I've worked out a few more details.
this is a set that I have been working with for the past three years, it works well it's just that little bit fiddly
CALLED SHOTS
Note:These rules are technically not only for guns, but as these rules will often come up in gun battles, I decided to include them in this thread.
When making a called shot against a target, one applies a bonus AC to the target based on the targets limb size. For a humanoid shaped character, an arm or leg is two sizes smaller than the character (and uses the appropriate size modifier), and the head, hands, and feat are three sizes smaller than the character (and use the appropriate size modifiers as well). For example, a medium sized humanoid character has tiny arms and legs (which grants them an AC bonus of +2) and diminutive hands, feet, and head (which grants them an AC bonus of +4). For creatures with odd shapes, the GM may make changes to this size-shift as deemed appropriate (though a GM should always keep balance in mind).
The effects of a called shot depend on the limb targeted. To determine the effects caused by a called shot along with the save type and save DC to avoid said effect see the table bellow.
Code:
Appendage Save Type Save DC Effect On Failed Save
Arm Will 10 + 1 per 2hp dealt over 10 Stacking -1 to attacks and skill checks that use the damaged arm
Leg Will 10 + 1 per 2hp dealt over 10 Stacking 5 foot penalty to movement rate, and stacking -1 penalty to skill checks that use the legs.
Head Fort Damage Dealt Drop to -1 HP (or 0 VP if one is using the WP/VP system. If a character already has 0 VP, then the attack instead deals +1 WP per weapon damage die).
Hand Refl 20 + 1 per 2hp dealt over 20 Stacking -1 to attacks and skill checks that use the damaged hand.
Foot Refl 20 + 1 per 2hp dealt over 20 Stacking 5 foot penalty to movement rate, and stacking -1 penalty to skill checks that use the feet.
Special: If a target fails its save against a leg or foot called shot by more than 5 points, the target also drops prone. If a target fails its save against an arm or hand called shot by more than 5 points, the target also drops any item held by that limb.
Any target that is immune to critical hits is also immune to the effects of called shots. A target with more than 2 legs gets a +1 bonus to saves, per extra leg (over 2), against the effects of leg or foot called shots.
Anyone making a called shot untrained takes an additional -4 to their attack roll. Characters may take the improved ranged called shot or improved melee called shot feats to alleviate this penalty.
NEW FEATS
Improved Ranged Called Shot
You are incredibly skilled at aiming at specific locations of a targets body with a ranged weapon. You are almost as likely to hit a target when aiming at a specific body part as you are when you aim at their center mass.
Benefit: You no longer take a -4 to attack rolls when making called shots with any ranged weapon with which you are proficient.
Prerequisites: Point blank shot, Precise shot, Far shot, Dead aim.
Improved Melee Called Shot
You are incredibly skilled at hitting specific locations of a targets body with a melee weapon. You are almost as likely to hit a target when aiming at a specific body part as you are when you aim at their center mass.
Benefit When making a called shot with a melee weapon with which you are proficient and have weapon focus you no longer take a -4 to attack rolls.
Prerequisites: Simple weapons proficiency, Weapon focus, Precise strike (d20 Urban Arcana).
Removing the Effects of Arm, Leg, Hand, and Foot Called Shots: Each time a called shot places a negative effect on a target, the target should mark down that effect with the amount of damage that caused that effect. When that amount of damage is healed, the effect disappears. A target that suffers from multiple effects must heal damage for each effect separately to remove the effect. Effects should always be removed in order of least amount of damage done to greatest.
though I do like j0lt's headshot by taking massive damage rather than just -1. makes a headshot more survivable which is always a plus
-
Makes a headshot... more survivable....... ?.....
-
Taking shotgun blasts to the face and loving it :P
-
....yeah I should have thought that through a few times before posting it

Behold Jacemachine, I Tommy have spoken :lmao
So which campaign are you about to start running again?
-
Behold Jacemachine, I Tommy have spoken :lmao
So which campaign are you about to start running again?
Hah! It'd be the shit if we could get Black Isle back up and running-- we just need to get Malikhi (Raul), Frank (Takezo), and Wayne (Dr. Ihavenoideawhathernamewas) to join up to this site-- and to be active. Crystal (Emma)... I don't think my Metal Gear meets GI Joe style of "espionage" was what she had in mind when she created her character, so I don't think she'd be really all that interested-- course I could be wrong. But she'd getting married, so who knows. Sam (Terrin) "hates writing"-- I couldn't even get him to write a character bio for that "free" 500 XPs I handed out at first session. I guess, either I NPC their characters, so you can finish the mission... but to be quite honest-- Artifact is HUGE. It's way huge. I really would like to focus on one campaign at a time. I would most certainly get GM burnout, and no one wants that shit.
However Tommy, I would love to discuss the Black Isle Campaign (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=650.0) over on that thread in the meantime. I really don't remember the details of the last couple of sessions, and would LOVE to have your input since you played them.
Oh! Welcome to Brilliant Gameologists, Tommy! :clap :fu

Halcon Deckplans... In Progress...[spoiler](http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/3645/halconbw.jpg)[/spoiler]
I'm at time a perfectionist-- and I fuss about shit that really doesn't need the layer of detail that I put into it. But whatever... I enjoy it. I inked the map today, scanned it, and tweaked it a little in Paint Shop Pro 7.
Check this out though-- THIS boat is NOT the same boat as the one that Max & John fought Muta on. I changed it between versions, because I only had a basic idea of how I wanted the boat. IO found that the early battlemap version, just didn't work when everything was pulled together.
If this was a movie-- this is the part where the film geeks would get all excited about continuity errors! ;) :lmao
-
another beautiful map from our loving GM :D girl Tarot cracked up about the continuity error (she says hi by the way) and believe me I heard you about the perfectionist, oft have sessions ground to a halt because of my attitude towards maps, they found themselves in a town once where I had not intended them to be and had to draw up a quick town map and adventure seeds, took the rest of our three hour session just to sort out what went where. Trust PC to funk everything up, if they can do something stupid to upset the GM they will *looks at Bowen*

I need the "watch list" guys before we can really continue. I've asked for it twice in character, so now I'm going to ask once out of character.
Flay's Eisen is the only PC to respond so far, and I posed the question DAYS ago. If I don't hear anything from you guys, I will invent my own watch list and continue.
I've realized that the game slows down quite a lot whenever the characters are En Route to some place, so I'd like to get a PERMANENT watch list from here on in. Take a shift-- it will be yours for the rest of the game until you guys make a change in character.
8 hours, 6 PCs. If only four of you... say Eisen, Kestrel, Max, and Richard would like to be the bulk of the watches, then Russo, Loder and the NPCs can "buddy" with them on their shifts. This is just a suggestion.
Once I have an established Watch List, I will stop asking for one in the future and the watches will take place the same on quiet nights as they would on nights when Nazis are storming your camp or whatever.
Roger that?
-
you make a good point I will do my best to speed Russo's pace along when we travel
[spoiler]notice how Russo hasn't taken one watch yet? :p clever bastard[/spoiler]
-
I replied about half an hour ago to the watch thing, I'll take second after Eisen :)
Also, buddy-ing might be a good idea, just in case :P
-
Savvy?
Nice :D
-
Richard will take whatever watch, he doesn't trust you people to be competent. :p
-
Go knife wielding monkey, anf cuk you with a cannibal-blowgun Rich! :fu
Hey, Cannibal Blowgun. Sounds like a band name....
-
What did I do? :o
-
ha! ha! Richard isn't getting much love, don't worry I'm sure Russo will give him a hug if he asks :D
-
though he can't voice his opinions right now Russo Intends to set up his guns on the bow and stern of deck when he next has a chance
I'll help with that :)
Heck, I could wake up Russo right now, we might be able to get it done pretty quickly :)

Okay Johns, go ahead and set up your guns! It's daytime!

Also:
before he stepped out into the drizzle so he could take a leak of the side of the boat into the river.
Might wanna look out for candiru ;)

I've been encouraging friends from my tabletop group to play this-- And it looks likely to happen.
Very soon Harrison Bones' ORIGINAL player should be joining us, ans another of my players will be taking on Pingo.

[spoiler]What about Kestrel? :D[/spoiler]
What about Kestrel what? I'm doing fishing for the NPCs. The Fishing Rules tell you exactly what to know what to post! :P
-
Fair enough, I was hoping for an awesome description :P
-
oh, I'm sorry-- But really, give as much an awesome description as you would like! Kestrel caught a bunch of fish! Write about his victory!
Accordian to the Fish Rules, a DC 18 yields fish that are 1lb each! So you landed 3 1.5 pound fishies!
I may be GM, but every one of us is playing a PbP, and the more that all participants write about a situation, the better the payoff for everyone!
-
Fair enough, I was hoping for an awesome description :P
You caught a fish. It was awesome. :lol

Jolt, my class abilities defeat your navigation check. :P

So, what are the class abilities of the 'stuck up limey asshole' class? :P
-
Yeah I'm ready to take control of Pingo whenever you're ready to let me. Frank can come over and post as Bones simultaneously.
-
Right on-- Pingo is a mute as you know. So that will be an interesting challenge. He has formed a mutual respect that is bordering on friendship with the stuck-up limey asshole, Richard. :lmao
Pingo is currently a 4th level character, but he's built as a melee blender with his dual-action spear/machete combo action. I will allow you to level him up to level 5 to be even with the rest of the other Player Characters.

What can I say, I hate damn Yanks who break my knives! Pingo would never do such a thing. :D

Yeah, didn't I tell you guys about the secret Nazi plot to train rabid lemurs in the ancient ways of the Ninja, and armed with tommy guns?
-
Sweet :D
:lol
-
Lemurs... why's it always lemurs... :D
-
Yeah, not gonna bother with a Listen check for this one, no way I'm gonna make that :P
-
hey we could at least give it a try
although Russo is a heavy sleeper...... (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2173131/)
curse those Nazi and their Zany Ideas!!
oh I'm back btw only to be off to corfu by friday :rollseyes
-
Well okay, I'll give it a try: Listen check result: 4 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2173152/)
Apparently I can't hear anything over Russo's snoring :P

Just wanted to drop in and say hello. I'll be handling the excruciating task of the Character Harrison "Bones" Avery from this day forth. This is my second time as bones, since he was my creation in the beginning. I hope you all feel privileged to be part of my first PbyP gaming function. If you don't well then start. RELEASE THE KITTIES!

Welcome :)
By the way, you might want to make your sheet on myth-weavers viewable to the rest of us ;)

i indeed feel honored to be in the presence of bone's creator although your avatar is just that little bit unsettling O_o
on another note do we notice the sudden change in bone's headgear :D
Item: fedora, felt, brimmed

Actually, the hat Bone's wears is technically supposed to be a near identical one to Max's own, which he took from Bones last time they met. Max describes his hat as a felt brimmed fedora hat. ;)

All hail the Iron Lady :D

Here's my proposal PoliosRevenge--
If you would like to play YOUR version of Bones, I will allow it. Since he is a 5th level character he would undergo no changes. However, if you would like to stick with the version I built as a NPC, you may.

Have fun :)

Problem is I'm not using my Tommygun, I'm using my revolver and a flashlight, due to the lack of light ;)
Hmmm...
Well you can see why I was obviously confused, because THIS post you stated:
"Shit! What was that!" John hisses as he jumps up from the couch, grabbing his SMG as he listens and scans the area for any hostile activity.
"Eisen, Russo, you awake? You see or hear anything?" he asks as he peers through the room, his Tommygun at the ready.
This other post confused me as well... especially after you retroactively changed what you had first written.
John grabs his flashlight and draws his revolver and starts to head over to Bones' room.
[spoiler]Swing Tommygun over shoulder, draw flashlight (and switch it on) and revolver.[/spoiler]
« Last Edit: Today at 11:40:43 AM by BowenSilverclaw »
I do not remember a thing about your flashlight and revolver when you first made that post. Editing it today AFTER I made the post calling you out about it --> « Reply #873 on: Today at 11:25:09 AM »
Makes me think that you are trying to cheat. You aren't trying to cheat are you Mr. Silverclaw?
I would advise AGAINST editing posts in this manner in the future. It is one thing to affect flavor text. it is another thing entirely to change text to give your character an advantage.
Am I wrong?
-
Cut me some slack here, will ya? :eh
Allow me to clarify:
The first post:
Yeah, I grabbed my SMG of the table, seeing as I didn't know if I had time to come back for it later, and it's pretty much my main schtick.
The second post:
The part I edited is the part in spoilers, I'll get to that in a minute.
After I/John realised there might not be enough light to properly see the enemy, I decided to switch to Revolver and Flashlight. (seeing as those are pretty much on my person all the time, like my Colt 1911). I might lose some damage potential that way, but at least I'll be able to hit stuff.
The part I edited was twofold. First part is the SMG part. After reading up to see what had happened until now I noticed I was kinda vague about the swapping, so I edited to clarify that I didn't just drop my Tommygun, but used the strap to swing it over my shoulder so I could use it later. The second part was about me flicking on the flashlight. I figured it'd be obvious I switched it on when I mentioned switching to revolver and flashlight, but just in case I edited my post. I figured it wouldn't be a big deal if I edited it to prevent any future mixups, I just forgot to mention it, sorry 'bout that.
So, in short, sorry for any confusion, I didn't mean to upset you or disrupt the game or anything, it was an honest mistake.
~Bowen (and please don't call me Mr. Silverclaw, that makes me feel old ;))
-
Alrighty then-- I can see what you are saying.
Just be aware that I try to monitor this game as closely as I can. I check posts, timestamps, and rolls. If I see something that looks strange or suspicious I will call it-- if you have a good explanation then I am fine. This goes for everyone really.
You can change old posts, I'm not telling anyone not too-- just be wary about how that may look.
-
I understand, don't worry about it :)
Next time I edit something I'll let you know ;)
Again, my apologies for any confusion or upsetting I may have caused.

Some helpful tips I offer to all (But especially our new players)
It is extremely easy to lose track of 'what the fuck is going on' :twitch-- this results in odd character reactions :fo/bad positioning :debate/attacking the darkness :banghead /etc... :blush
:blah Always read all the posts that have occurred since your own last post. Understand the actions that have taken place. Sometimes things will occur in another player's post that will have a very direct effect on what you can or cannot attempt, or clue you in to what you SHOULD attempt. Doors open or close, locked or unlocked. PC's getting in the way of grenade blasts :flame. Moving into an already occupied space :dogpile.
:teach Be sure to take very special note of PC and NPC locations on the alphanumeric grid. It works just like Battleship. During a combat I NEED to know every character's exact location at the end of their turn otherwise I am left to interpret your PCs actions, which is often bad for you, since I have no qualms about leaving anyone in harm's way :chairhit. This is the equivalent of my table top pet-peeve, when players do not get up and move their own mini, expecting me the GM to do it for you. :censored :fo
:thumb Please be mindful of your fellow players. In combat everyone is taking turns in Initiative Order-- though you are welcome to post your PC's actions "out of turn", they still occur in Initiative Order. It is important to check the game to post at least once a day-- if you do not, you hold up 8 other people. If you DO post out of order, please consider checking back after a few hours to see if any other character's actions :bash will have directly affected what you intended on doing in your post :wow. Situations like THIS may occur: ;)
PLAYER B: I yell :sh"Don't make us kill you Jacko! Just tell us where you hid the baby and everything will be FINE! I PROMISE!" [ Diplomacy check 23 ]
PLAYER A: I open fire upon Jacko. "Eat it, Freak! This is for fingering my little brother Freddy!"[ Shoots Buffalo Rifle: 19 Damage: 22!! :lol]
GM: Jacko is turned to MULCH with a single shot. Most of what was his upper torso is streaked across the empty play pen behind him.
Player B, your VERY CONVINCING plea falls upon deaf ears. Mostly because there isn't a head for them to be attached to any longer. Player A, be sure to deduct that .50 cal shell from your sheet. Player A next time consider holding your action to see if something like player B's Diplomacy check could have worked.
PLAYER A: :flirt It's what my character would have done. Besides, who the hell uses Diplomacy? :devil
:shrug If you aren't sure if you should or if you can take an action, please ask the question here in the Lounge. I have no problems with players having Tabletop Style discussions :argue :drunk. Perhaps you'd like to do something, but aren't sure of the rules on HOW to do it. Just ask :teach.
:) These are really for everyone. I will eventually move this over to live on the rules board.

And a happy birthday to J0lt :)

Hey, if you go to the Hard Rock Cafe and tell 'em it's your birthday, they give you free stuff! :D
-
Awesome :D
-
Guys, we are totally going to get massacred! You guys are all doing exactly what NOT to do in a horror movie! If we all stay apart, the cannibals are just gonna pick us off one at a time, and we'll end up with a big fat TPK resulting in NO MAIN CAMPAIGN (since we will have failed to acquire the titular Artifact).
You guys are supposed to be playing trained military types, yet you're all just standing out in the open trying to hack'n'slash as if you were a Barbarian in a D&D game!
Use cover, work together, or we're all going to die!
-
Yeah, yeah, I'm getting to that. I had to cover Bones' drunken ass first :P
-
I yelled for backup! I'm not a coward, Richard stands his ground. :P
-
Can I hear Richard's call for backup? I'll post a Listen check in the game-thread :)
-
Haha, until I realized that there was no other door, my intention was to get Richard and all from upstairs, compile ourselves downstairs with Russo's shit, and ride the night out.
Kinda.... yeah, I'm possibly gonna die..... might have thought of changing that course of action, since there's no door...
-

You are more than welcome to THIS round is still in flux. You can't change an action from a previous round, BUT you are low on the Init list, so you may feel free to edit you action for THIS round...
Be aware that you are the only thing that is blocking the stairs to the downstairs off from the cannibals. If you happen to move, those downstairs may not enjoy the results...
-

Also be aware that if you yourself go down the stairs, you'll be able to help those downstairs set up a choke point. ;)
-
.... Do the stairs curve, or go straight up, or go to a half-way landing? Cause, y'see, I've got a few frag grenades that I'd just LOVE to fry those bitches with... sure, we'll tear up the mid-room of the boat, but.....

The stairs are small, They do not curve and they go straight down.
If you would like to risk blowing the boat up and sinking it in the middle of Cannibal territory, that is fine by me! :lmao

From the looks of it I'll have to help Pingo next round, seeing as our friendly neighbourhood jungleguide seems to be in a bloodfrenzy and determined to take down those cannibals in Bones' room.

What is the mechanical impact of the current lighting condition both below and above deck? Might affect my future actions somewhat :)

I say fuck it-- you guys don't need any more hindrances in this particular battle. You are going to have a touigh enough time as it is with the cannibal warriors coordinating their movements and attacks.
Lighting is VERY LOW--
BUT IT WILL NOT AFFECT YOUR ABILITIES TO FIGHT. I say that there is JUST enough light to see. Please use the Lighting more as a flavor text thing rather than a game mechanic for this combat.
Good? Good.

Thanks :)
In that case I'll edit my post to storing my Flashlight instead of giving it to Bones if that's okay with you.

Alright, how many action points should we have, again?
-
Alright, how many action points should we have, again?
It took me a little bit-- but I found the section in the Core Rules that tells you the answer:
WEALTH and ACTION POINTS by Level page 204, upper right column.
...For Action Points, consider that a heroic character has a number of action points equal to half his or her character level.
So basically, as a 5th level PC, you SHOULD have ONLY 2 (since you'd round down)-- This is to reflect that to GET to level 5, you have BEEN adventuring already, and technically have SPENT any additional points to get to where you are now.
So now that we have the OFFICIAL ANSWER let me House Rule this badboy.
EVERYONE:
ALL ARTIFACT PROLOGUE CHARACTERS WILL HAVE BEEN GIVEN A TOTAL OF 8 APs AT THE START OF THIS ADVENTURE. We didn't really cover this before, and so I address it now.
So take note of ANY AP's you have spent so far in this adventure, I know that a few of you have. Make the proper adjustments on your character sheets.
I will follow up later to make sure that everyone has the proper and expected amount of AP's that they should have.
How's that?
-
FRANK!
Here are BOTH of your prior Bones characters--
(alpha) (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=142842) - from the ORIGINAL 2005 Artifact campaign (at Big Tim's)
(beta) (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=142847) - from the short lived 2008 Artifact campaign (at Wayne's place)
I don't know if you want to use either of them though-- it is up to you.
The Current version of Bones was built with certain GM character goals in mind, and as you can tell bears little similarities to the type of PC you normally would build for yourself.
-
So... yeah, we're into the next round as of YESTERDAY (24 HOURS ago, actually).
And only Eisen and Loder have posted-- What gives? (ESPECIALLY when I see that two of you who are closer to the top of initiative have both been online in the past 8 hours...)
Don't make Baby Jesus cry. I don't want to have to SMOTHER the little fella again...
EDIT:
You guys aren't' scared of a handful of CR1 baddies, are you? IF you happen to like or dislike these cannibals, you can literally THANK Neull// if he decides to show up again. He built MANY of the NPCs that you guys have been fighting! Nazis included!
-
I missed that the new round started.

Still here, sorry 'bout my absence, I got kinda caught up in Pokemon Platinum after I decided to treat myself to a DS :embarrassed

lol pokemon? seriously?
Damn that nigga Cannibal A has taken over 15 points of damage from Pingo, what HP that fool at? lol
-
I KNOW! Actually, you guys won't see the effects of your attacks until I finalize the round-- and I can't finalize the round unless freakin Frank/Bones posts his damn action! :banghead
EDIT: Spoke to Frank a moment ago via this thing called a "sell fone" it's like a star trek communicator, but you put it to your ear. ;)
Anyway, he had a legit excuse for yesterdays absence-- home drama.
-
Ugh... I'm sorry that Bones hasn't posted yet guys-- I talked to him at work and I thought that I'd be able to come home and end this round. *sigh*
I hope that he posts tonight, but if not I will skip him, and continue. It isn't fair to the rest of you.
-
:bigeye
Do what we gotta do.
-
Pingo dropped Cannibal_A this round! And Richard has actually taken out 2 of the bastards where he's at!
Maybe you guys WILL survive this encounter AFTERALL! :P
-
I dont even want to explain the shit I went through yesterday when I got home. Basically I was hoping to use Tommy's computer since I wouldn't have someone yelling or glaring at me but the last time I did that without asking I got shit for it so....I was waiting for him to get home last night when my parents called me and told me I had to be home by midnight....when Tommy effectivly gets home. Then they decided to lecture more.....when I got on today after they finally cooled off it was alas too late....I will try harder but since I have had morning shifts lately that means when I get home they are here....and bitching about everything. Night shifts leave me the daytime to post...which I have all next week.

The great white hunter loves his buffalo cannon. :P

Lost my DS with Diamond in the one slot and fireRed in the other.... and dropped an extra 500 dollars for tuition this semester, ensuring I cant afford to replace any of it.
So yeah, putting in my 2 cent damn you as well. :P

Good, I'll post my actions as soon as the recap is up :D

The spot check didn't affect my action at all so I remove the note and spoilers around my action.

Roger that! We posted at the same time, I think!

I tried to post my action and learned that you had asked for a spot check. :P

Bones ... his nose picking ...

EDIT: Oh, and John runs out of movement on C-10 BTW. But you should still have LoS for your action. So no rushing up stairs.
F-7 to E-8 is 1
E-8 to D9 is +2, so 3
D9 to C9 is +1, so 4
C9 to C10 is +1, so 5
C10 to K10 is +1, so 6 squares total, right?
Or do stairs cost double movement? That might explain my mistake :)
Ah! Thank you for clarifying your movement. That would be then correct.
I have edited my previous edit. You are between decks.

I'll post soon as I can find where the hell we put Russo's machine guns on the boat...
...The guns went up smoothly on both the prow and aft deck with John's help despite how much Russo fussed over one of them complaining it had been out in the damp for too long, muttering to himself about rusted gams and other rude analogies as he looked the large gun over and under several times. Satisfied and meaning to give them both a good oiling when he got the chance he asked Bones for some rope and fishing it out wherever the man pointed, tying the thick rope securely around the tripods and making them unshiftable through almost anything the water could throw and then a second rope to the back of the guns themselves"just to keep the girls safe"
Between L2 & M2, and between L20 & M20
EDIT: It is my understanding that each gun is in a fixed position, mounted on its tripod, Russo? Either way, I'm sure that they are both facing away from the boat, straight ahead and straight behind.

BATTLE MAPS FEEDBACK?
Okay, we've spent at least 5 rounds in both major combats now-- first the Nazis in the Cantina and this Cannibal Boat Raid that is currently happening.
Both maps have been very different from each other in how I shown characters on the map.
Cantina Map
[spoiler](http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/7954/round4.jpg)
[/spoiler]
Halcon Map
[spoiler](http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/461/halconbattlemap6.jpg)
[/spoiler]
Having used both styles, what did you like or didn't like about either of these maps. Tell me why one is better than the other in your opinion. Feedback from everyone would really be appreciated. It will help me in the future! :D
Thanks in advance!
-
Hmm... Both have their advantages. The Cantina style map does look nicer with the character icons, etc... But at the same time, it's more busy which is slightly distracting. The Boat style map is cleaner and easier to see what's going on, but the colored beads are a little drab. IMO it's kind of a toss up.

I agree that for numbers, the first map has advantages, but the second map looks a lot nicer, is a lot cleaner overall, and definitely seemed like an upgrade. I'd go for the second map anytime.

I do like the first one better in that it gets you a sense of how the enemy looks, so you know who you're unleashing a hail of lead on :D

just to be original I'm with the others both are good but in a toss up I personally prefer the cantina style map it's just more fun :D

that sounds about right but they shouldn't have a problem spinning a complete 360 should the need arise being mounted as they are though the rope would tangle them up if you kept moving it around the same way more than twice, which would be awkward in a real fire-fight

I can't verify your roll though-- not in any way I can see. It was a good suggestion though-- I appreciate that you're trying! :D

Move action: Moves to M-10 (unless in between is another 5 ft, in which case it's L-10)
Free Action (Part of Move): Tumble to avoid AoO: 17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2196739/)
Move to N-7, turning to face the two on the stairs as a free action.
I don't believe that you have enough Move left. You started at C-8, the stairwell itself is 5-feet. L-10 puts you at you max of 6 spaces (30 feet).

Ah, the move to N-7 was a second move action, for a full round of use.
In a normal round, a character can perform an attack action and a move action (or two move actions; a character can always take a move action in place of an attack action)[snip]
My bad, wasn't clear.

This is a reminder that the game is still in play, and IC works.
-
Waiting on Russo and Bones now... :bigeye
-
is done is done panic not just bones now...... and Max...... wtf is going on there anyway?
-

I haven't a clue about Max. I haven't heard from him in a while-- he didn't PM me before he vanished either... I'm considering "dropping his character off" somewhere soon. I just need the right motivation for him to vanish. If he resurfaces later and still wants to play-- His character (who DID memorize the map) would be able to come find you guys...
Bones likely didn't log into a PC this weekend.
-
Hope something hasn't happened to the dude... either of them
oh Neull wherefor art thou? :bigeye
-
I see Bones/Frank all the time. He's actually one of my Best Friends in RL.
Neull//-- IDK... he lives in Greece and had just gotten his PhD. HE said that he'd be joining the military because of required service in Italy. He may be missing due to that...
But again, I hadn't heard from him since... well, the last time he posted.
-
The laptop was getting an overhaul for the past few days. The PC is a piece of shit that deserves to burn in hell sucking off demons for eternity......but the laptop is so much better....its like a breath of fresh air...or like when you buy a monkey and it has that "new monkey" smell to it still
-

:lmao
okay-- all actions are in for this round. I will post the summary this evening after work!
-
Russo, Can I even FIRE that damned thing? It's be loverly to get at the boat-cannibal's with, since I don't wanna pitch a grenade at the water like that.
-
awwww just have a go, the kid seemed to do well enough and they must be flat-footed in whatever it is they are using to get here so if nothing else it might knock a few hp off before they rip our spleens out and roast them
-
FYI I'll be on vacation from Thursday afternoon to Sunday night.
-
Good to know! (and Thank you for the heads up!) I hope you have a lot of fun-- or at least enough to warrant a good trip.
Also: Yeah, yeah... I fell asleep last night-- I'm organizing the layout for the recap right now... it WILL be up in about 1 - 2 hours from this posting.
-
Gah, I can take 10. :banghead
Is the water rough or stormy? Did I just commit suicide? :p
-
the water is calm (it's flowing, but it sin't too bad. Bones actually DID pick a good spot to anchor for the night...). It's just raining...
You go underwater, so you'll need to hold your breath... but next round you can get to the boy and save his ass... Maybe Loder will throw you guys the rope that is sitting at K-14.
You won't drown unless you continuously fuck up.
Yeah, take ten in the future. ;)
-
taking 10 the greatest boon in a PCs arsenal
-
This is the first time I've gone swimming with a character in a long, long time. :P
-
This is the first time I've gone swimming with a character in a long, long time. :P
Ever notice how RPG character almost NEVER get to go swimming?
In the first part of the Main Game, you will be diving on a sunken wreck... but after that... not so much swimming.
Remember those 4 free ranks I gave everyone this time around? Well, you will get those in Swimming. The reason I will be giving you these free ranks is my original group of players (Frank and company spent hard earned Ranks to swim well... but then found that as the game progressed... they didn't get to use Swimming very often.
-
The last time I was in a group that went swimming the tank just walked along the bottom of the river because his con was high enough that he could hold his breath that long without a problem. :lol
-
A question about the main game, if I may:
I've been working out some ideas lately, so I was wondering at what level we'll start (I might have asked this already, I'm not entirely sure...)?
-

Something I really want to do with a Warforged someday :D
-
You guys are starting at level 3 in the main game...
Also, take note of the most recent news headline, if you hadn't already!
-
Your announcement means I have to remember where my AdvC is from. :P
-

I'll post in the game thread tomorrow, right now I'm off to bed. I'm way too fuckin' tired...
G'night :)

Updated my last ingame post to reflect ammunition-usage so far :)

Thanks Bowen! I really appreciate that you did that. I had been watching as Flay did that, and I thought that was real considerate! Thanks guys! :clap

Yeah, figured it would be handy to have that on hand just in case, even if I am using a 100-round drum magazine :D
EDIT: Final edit, forgot about the 1 chambered round before adding the magazine :D
-
I'm back.
-
Hey hey-- You've made it to the first half of the prologue alive! Hurray!
So, what are you guys gonna do for your Level 6 class? :D
-
S-M-R-T! DOH! :rollseyes
-
I'm thinking more Gunslinger for me :)
EDIT: And I'm done leveling :)
-
More explorer of course, will be done tonight.
-
I get a bonus language for free. Suggestions?
-
German?
-

Pingo's Hand signs!

German?
+1. I think I'll take another level in Gunslinger, getting some good HP, action points, skills, but only weapon focus as a class feature (boo hoo, since we get a feat anyways :P)
-
:clap
Have you guys taken a look at the games pages and compared post counts? I think that The Artifact officially has beaten all other games in posts, but most especially In-Game posts! Awesome job everyone! I hope that everyone is still enjoying this game-- I try to mix and match pacing to keep things interesting.
Now, as we enter the second half of this Prologue, I want you to know... that if you die, you have to wait until the main game to start playing once again. I don't really have too much room for random walk-on characters, which is why Pingo and Bones were taken over instead of new PCs showing up-- So don't die! :p
I haven't heard from or seen Max/Neull// in quite some time... I'm coming up with an excuse for his character to get separated from the rest of you coming up sometime in the near future. If he returns, then he can meet up with you guys-- he HAS memorized the map after all. If he doesn't return, then the world will never know what ever happened to Max Hawkins...
-

......really? :p
If you wanted to yeah-- you've been spending lots of time with him-- I could see your character learning to become fluent. Then you Bones, Kid, and Pingo could all have secret conversations.
Just a thought!

Ow god, now he has another way to insult the yank :P
Say, is Esteban still alive but just unconsciouss or was he killed as well? If he's still alive the sarge will help Richard to carry him to Doc Loder :)
-
Hmmm, German or Pingo, what language to learn.....
I'd probably go with Pingo for RP, so there we go.
-
If the good doctor has healed you yet, you may want to take advantage of his doctoring, since he has his medical bag out and everything.
-
Glad I didn't take any hits this combat :)
Just hope that doesn't change too much when we're facing zee Germans :P
Also, IC is down again :wall
-
It's back up already, yay! But yeah, foreshadowing: Flay wants to see Inglourious Basterds, as it's too good for his character to not become inspired by. Thus the knife, if any see what he's getting at. :D
A little mis-direction of cannibals goes a loooooong way!
-
Hey Doc, how much did you heal me for? :P
-
Roll 1d4 on IC and post it up! :D
-
Hey all, can't decide what feat to take. Nothing looks super-hella appealing, so.... any suggestions?
-
check naruto d20 that has some interesting feats :D
http://www.narutod20.com/ (http://www.narutod20.com/)
-
Heroic Surge can be nice for when you really need to do more in one round than you normally can :)
-
check naruto d20 that has some interesting feats :D
http://www.narutod20.com/ (http://www.narutod20.com/)
Feats must all be from official Modern Sources or the MPC.

I think he was joking :lol
-
What are your plans?
After I finish reloading I'll try to catch some sleep to get my 8 hours :)
-
Woo, I heal 2 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2222760/).
-
Woo, I heal 2 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2222760/).
Shouldn't you post that in the game thread?
-
Fine, I'll shove it in a spoiler somewhere since the Doctor was too lazy to do it. :p
-
I would've done it, but you guys are supposed to, y'know, post that you're coming to the Doc for treatment. I can't decide everybody's characters' actions.
-
Jolt, look at page one of Part II. You see where you posted that you treated Richard and took ten on your Treat Injury but never posted how much you healed me for? Yeah......
-
Damnit, I knew I should've brought a surgery kit!
-
And every doctor in every game I've run has been responsible for the health recovery rolls too--
This game is no different. J0lt-- better start rolling for everyone.
-
Will do, as long as they come seeing medical aid.
-
Do you guys think it's a bit of a stretch for me to carve a swastika into the intact foreheads of the cannibals before dumping their bodies off the side of the boat, in an attempt to divert the cannibals into being hostile of anyone waving a nazi flag (like, say, our jungle-bound nazi friends)? I figure, the idea of a cannibal and their human-standing as far as "civilized people" are concerned would mean it wouldn't be an issue, alignment-wise (NG in my case), but....
Also, yeah, I'm thinking Heroic surge of Quick Reload (which for me would mean free-action reloads on all my guns, which is kinda nice). Will decide in the morning...
-
Inglorious Basterds much? :D
I say go with it, it could give us some sort of advantage.
-
Swastikas on foreheads is certainly an idea-- I very well COULD work.
Heroid Surge as a feat is decent, but it only works once per day-- which can REALLY save your ass. Muta had Heroic Surge, and he was able to use it against Russo in his first attack.
Quick Reload is vital.. just ask Nanshork's Richard!
-
Isn't it 2/day starting a level 5?
-

Good plan! I like it, gets my vote on both counts, Heroic surge rocks

so that explains it :rollseyes
-
lol @ Russo
I think everyone's passed out except you! Even if Loder was still awake, it's not like he can run up and down stairs all nimbly bimbly with a hole through his leg. ;)
-
only realized that when Jace said so, silly Russo wasn't paying attention, good job Loader is tough as nails :D
-
The building at the front of the dock is the most obvious point of attack;
Three mercenaries open fire from hidden positions! Wait, sorry... Wrong game! :D

I know! I'm doing that too! (And jace keeps calling my charrie there Eisen, heheheh)
-
Okay, did I just say something stupid? I thought we were supposed to carry on inland from here on? You know, needing the mules to carry our gear and all that...

Bones scratches his stubble with a thoughtful finger. "No obstacles that we can't handle. There is a large ravine that may be a problem, but that is assuming the rope bridge that Dunning drew on the map has fallen over the last twenty or so years.
"It could still be there, for all I know. The maps takes us deep into unexplored territory. Richard, Max and I should be able to get us through it no problem." Bones downs his drink in another gulp.
Mayhaps it is because of this:
"Ahhh! Good shit!" He says wiping his mouth. "There seemed to be some sort of swampland we'll have to navigate as well beyond that, but I really don't foresee anything problematic as long as we can keep our feet dry. No need for jungle rotted toes.
"When we get to the old Mission, we can resupply if we need. I think that since Dunning had written about it in his letter it is still worth checking out. But I think that I can get us MUCH closer before we need to leave this old girl behind. I DON'T really want to leave it at the former Mission. They call it Machete Landing these days, but just cause they sell supplies to travelers, doesn't mean I like the idea of leaving this boat at their dock while we head inland.
"Unless you guys have any problems, I'd like to stop in real quick, check out the Mission and skip the village beyond all together. From what I saw on the map, I think I know of a tributary we can take that will get us awfully close to the first set of ruins Dunning had written about. From there, I'd say we can travel the old fashioned way from there.
"I'd feel better if we tied up El Halcon somewhere where only WE know about it. Savvy? Do any of you have anything to add? Richard? Max?"
No worries. it's been over a month and a half since those plans had been discussed in RL.
-
Sorry about that, guys :embarrassed
Should I edit my IC post or just leave it like this and say the heat finally got to Kestrel?
-
Don't edit. Too many posts have continued with what you got started.
But...
That was the first night after Orino Perro-- you defused a bomb and helped kill demon possessed man that day. Suffice to say, you MAY not have remembered that conversation, especially if you follow the original quote back on July 13th-- We all was drinking that night too!
-
Yeah, I'll leave it at that, the combination of booze and stress :)
-
So....any of you people with Investigate want to examine this body for me? :D
-
Loder'll take care of it after he gets Paco in the ground.
-
hurray for baby Jesus, great roll
too bad my spot is shitty
hey if I have no tongue, then I can't taste right? If my sense of taste is gone then wouldn't my other senses go up a little bit? Ya know, like if your blind your hearing and touch go up? Lol
-
was it just me or did the boards go down last night? ???
-
I had the same problem.
-
Yeah, they were down for 24 hours or so.
-
daaaaaaaaaaaang, good to see they got em' back up, wouldn't want to miss anything
-
Now that BG is up and running well once again, thanks to the diligent work of Andy from SpookyOutHouse-- I want to know-- are any of you waiting for an answer or maybe a response from me? If so, let me know and I'll get right on that-- If there is another reason this particular lull is taking so long then lets see if we can resolve it!
Lemme know if there is anything I can do...
-
I couldn't get on the boards again the other night, they just wouldn't pop up in my browser although any other website would!
Oh well. I've posted, but I'm assuming your waiting on everyone else to post. Mayhaps their characters are doing nothing.
Ab-so-lut-ely nothing... lol
-
I think it's just a bit of a lull, we are moving damningly slow though as soon as we are done with poor Paco we're probably going to shove off, well... thats the general consensus I gathered.
-
Gasp! He speaks the silent language of Pingo lol
-
Gasp! He speaks the silent language of Pingo lol

-
Ha ha, "speaks". I guess I should have said... signs?
Ahh whatever, you get it.
-
El Abuelo, all the way! Nazi's are the endgame, cannibals the obnoxious bastards we may encounter one more time (hopefully I'll be able to convince them to go after the nazi's, heheheh), but El Abuelo is one of those side-quest/mini-endboss things that I think would be hella fun. Cannibals? Eisen hates to bother himself with. Nazi's? That's just fuckin' fun for a guy like Eisen. El Abuelo? That's got some character development/altering of perception going for it.
Also, I'm damn glad we have someone like jolt to actually put clues together, cause I sure as hell ain't keeping up with it, lol.
-
Heh.
-
yup slipped right by me-uh I mean... Russo..... as well.......*cough*
-
Russo for the moment is going to stand around like an idiot for a bit
I love this guy :lol
EDIT: Kestrel has a spare handgun, so you might want to join him until you can get to the boat ;)
-
Pingo's going to pull The Kid to the edge of the woods and attempt to hide, (also signing for him to hide), and wait at the forest edge for now...
Yeah, I might as well be swinging my dick around for all to see.
And he's got a kid with him! :lmao
-

EDIT: Kestrel has a spare handgun, so you might want to join him until you can get to the boat ;)
unfortunatly I tend to take a feat at first level called "irritating player" as well as "player/character seperation" I tend to play characters that get in the way and are generally not very helpful most of the time, its a real problem for me, I've talked to psychiatrist but he says its all in my head.....
(yes I think Russo will do that)
hopefully we can stop the Nazi before they blow up the boat
EDIT: oh crap!! :shock Max is still in the boat!!
EDIT 2: SO ARE MY MACHINE GUNS!!!!!!! shit.....
EDIT 3: OH GOD WHY!? WHY!? WHY!!!!?? OH MY BEAUTIFUL GUNS!!!! OH GM WHY!!!!!?? TT_TT :( :( :o :bigeye
-
I will avenge your girls!
Yeah, Max too...
-
Great...I might have to whip out my bow.
:( And I'm a straight up melee fighter...
-
.....CRAP!
Did we ever get the mules off the boat or did we just talk about it?
If those mules were on the boat you guys are about to watch a very slow interesting change in RIchard.
-
as he becomes a mule?
-
as he becomes a mule?
As he re-learns how to live without modern trappings minus his gun (which he's starting to run dangerously low on ammo, 29 shots and he's out).
AKA, Richard will go somewhat feral. :P
-
Well... the good news is that Bones had the Kid and Pingo take the mules off. I was also KINDA assuming that various important gear came off with them ass well...
True Russo's 2 beautiful gals may still be tied to the deck-- but hey-- maybe you can salvage them if the Nazis let ya!
-
TO THE SINKING SHIP!!!! :sparta
-
Hmmm, Richard needs to tell me there are only twelve so I can recklessly and with vehement anger lure them inland so we can blow their asses away.
Naw, kidding.... but seriously, we need their boat, and I wouldn't mind a dozen nazi scalps. Can Richard kill the officer outright, y'think?
Posted. What's tha line..... oh, "I aim to misbehave." Definitely channeling him a bit right now. Lets FIGHT IT OUT!
-
......I need a gun..... might steal a nazi rifle when all this is done, soon as I find out where bowen is I'm gonna thieve from his armory lol
all my guns were on the boat damn you Jace! damn you!!!
-
Flay, I just might be able to kill the officer outright. This is what he did in both wars after all! :p
-
Do I notice what's going on from my current position?
I second that im'm not quite sure where everybody is lol, Richard and Eisen are in huts as is Pingo now, Russo, Bones Esteban and loader are still behind the church (sort of-ish) where are ya Bowen/Mr Kestral?
Eisen ran to building #5 (the empty bar). Richard is standing in the open, behind building #4 (old dude's shack) communicating with Eisen with hand signals.
Unless you have stated that you went somewhere specific, then you are to be found in the Jungle behind the dilapidated Church...
...which is actually where Russo is ATM.
Tarot-- where was your gear last?
-
O_O
.... sitting on the mules mostly..... my trail pack however was...................... on the boat I think...... :banghead :banghead :banghead
at least I still have the stuff in my pockets :banghead
-
As soon as IC comes back I'm taking the shot.
-
O_O
.... sitting on the mules mostly..... my trail pack however was...................... on the boat I think...... :banghead :banghead :banghead
at least I still have the stuff in my pockets :banghead
If you have deliberately stated in an in-game post that you have left your belongings on the boat there isn't anything I can do... but if there is no in-game post saying what you have done with your gear, then I will allow you to have it on you...
-
If we start shooting, they may start firing bazooka's from the boat. I mean...I want to kill them. I want to fight real real bad. But they are obviously in possession of more fire power than us.
If we can take out the bazooka guy with a grenade... then I'm sure the bazooka will be destroyed or thrown off board, maybe with a couple others too.
But whose to say that they don't have more than one bazooka lying around?
Unless we can do said thing, Pingo won't be rushing to his death any time soon.
Unless, of course, Bones does. Which he may when he snaps out of his stupor.
-
My thoughts exactly, with slight modifications as to their reaction; you've just blown the hell out of an enemy boat, no resistance, you think they're onboard possibly, which has led to your cheering. Then your commanding officer's head explodes. Then the guy holding the bazooka's chest erupts in blood, and you realize that you're sitting on a boat getting picked off.
You're either angry and taken to action, or you're (most likely) startled to high hell and caught off guard. Plus, you have no rallying point (officer) to gain control of a startled if not scared group. And until they see where we are, we can possibly snipe one or two more (at least one more, thank you Richard).
If we stay out of obvious sight and blast a few away, morale would lower (no DnD effect I can think of, aside from possibly shoddy tactics) and people would panic. Plus, we have a big gun with a LOT longer range, and onething I know for a fact; in the military at this time (and in Vietnam especially), the shittiest weapons to have were the ones that could do big damage, like bazooka's, machine guns, or flame throwers. You were second only to obvious command as far as targets went, and snipers could do plenty of damage fast. You might not WANT to pick it up, as it paints a target on you.
But yeah, I'm a Nazi-hunter, and Richard's a sniper. We can cause some shit, if you guys can kill any who land on the beaches (bit of an odd reversal of roles, no? :P). Besides, we need to save Russo's guns. Imean, we need to save MAX! That's right... Max..... who, being a living creature, takes priority....
Oh Jace, what about my spoiler'd questions?
-
Sorry-- missed that:
Their boat is East of El Halcon, and heading north at a leisurely pace atm.
-
Well then, with IC up, if you'd be so kind as to go ahead and make that killer sniping move of yours Norshark, unless anyone objects? My reactive roll is up in a sec...
-
I'll target the ones that get on the beach then :)
-
I just barely remembered my Dead Aim feat just in time! I hope I just blew the bastards head off!
Edit: Jace, did we heal any between the cannibal attack and now?
-
You guys would have managed to just squeeze in 8 hours of sleep-- so you guys get to heal back your level in HPs.
-
Nice shot, Nanshork :)
-
Why thank you! :D
-
Seconded, well done! I should've Action Point'd my second shot, oh well!

+1, on both fronts.
-
I needs to see that frackin' movie!--
Yes, yes you do :)
-
Hm, soe high Initiatives, 21+, some lower.... any way we could use that timing? :D
Hella not going to work today....
-
Lure them to the beach so they get within my range? :P
Tommyguns and their ridiculous ammo capacity are great, but the 30ft. range is a bitch :lol
-
Pingo may consider luring but remember he's a bit terrified of getting too close to guns and explosions.
-
zombieland = best movie of all the universe and times and such.
dude you blew up there boat and i thought i was a mean GM, just kidding explosions are fun no matter whos doing the exploding.
you guys rock, i think if they land they are done for....give em hell!!!
-
[spoiler]lol Russo isn't worthy of a space on the map :lmao [/spoiler]
SHIT!
*sigh*... I need to learn to proof read more... :p
sorry.
-
...dude you blew up there boat and i thought i was a mean GM...
:lol, yeah... technically though it was Nazis that did it! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Two versions of Eisen and Russo. Here's one.
(http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/1972/loderkestreleisen.jpg)
Another version of Eisen is in this one.
(http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/6658/pingokidrusso.jpg)
And here's the other version of Russo. Looks like he's been in the jungle in this one.
The brim of the Kid's hat is tilted up, so if it looks odd that is why.
-
Looks great, I love it :)
-
Richard feels neglected. :p
-
I haven't liked any of the Richards I've attempted so far-- Gimme an actor who you feel would play a good Richard as far as appearance goes.
-
That goes for Greasemonkey too!
-
That guy who plays Locke on Lost looks Richard-y to me, for what it's worth :)
-
For Richard I give you: The actor who played (http://jonathanhyde.net/images/9928.jpg) the hunter in Jumanji (http://jonathanhyde.net/images/9940.jpg). There are two pictures there, and remember Richard has no facial hair. :p
For Greasemonkey......hmmmmmm.......

wow thats awesome! damn Jace I only wish I could pretend to sketch as good as you :clap :clap
loving how serious Eisen looks, poor guy looks like he drank the kingston queen's coffee by mistake
-
Jace is the man.
-
Wait..John has a Buffalo Rifle? And 200 rounds for it? *drools*
-
Just be nice to the Yank, Limey, and he'll give you some extra rounds ;)
-
Or I'll just club you with my rifle once I run out of rounds and steal all of yours. :P
-
Mulethulhu will avenge me! :P
-
A) Love the Eisen picture, nicely done!
B) Hate my rolls. Poorly done!
C) Is Max still in the game? Or are we abandoning his active but disease-ridden ass on the boat?
-
We might as well try to save him and our ammo, the boat is leaving and it's going to get away. The Nazis don't want to kill us, they just wanna blow our boats up man.
-
Ammo is on the mules ;)
-
Max/Neull// is out of the game unless he mysteriously shows up again at a later date--
-
we should pool all our action points for a Max shaped deus ex machina when we get in trouble later on :lmao
-
Don't worry, you can't auto-fail a skill check, but you can't auto-succeed either.
-
Fixed my post to show some more rping and a search for Max check. I can do that right? Swim through the hole that's sinking the ship? I would assume it's large enough for Pingo to squeeze through. I thought it was a good idea.
-
Real-Life Session scheduled for tonight at my place after my players get out of work tonight-- I will be spending the rest of this evening preparing for it. I'll see you guys later!
-
Enjoy :)
-
I had a long shift on little sleep yesterday. Today have a second long shift, then back to a piddly 4-hr on Saturday. Sunday I am off with a barbecue commitment.
Check back around dinnertime on Saturday, and I'll be lurking and posting by then.
-
Wow. Un-needed drama bloomed in my life between me and my madre last night-- So I told her off and spent the night reading the 9th Dresden Files book to cool off-- I'm off work today, and with the exception of a BBQ at 3PM, I'll be around, and trying to get caught back up.
I have to figure out what you guys are able to salvage...
-
ugh... more excuses from Jace.
More like an apology:
Read this and you'll understand where my immediate motivation went.

DUDE NO SHIT! I JUST had a (toned down, assuredly) version of this conversation with my own mother, who threatened to try and get my grandmother to stop paying for school because she doesn't like who I'm moving in with (my girlfriend's sister). Apparently, I'm a deceptive and disgusting person. Which, y'know, I've no doubt about ( ;)) But I kinda didn't need her of all people telling me. I just have this weird feeling that I'm going to be having that message delivered to my own mother in a few years, if she keeps up with this sort of batshit response to stuff that doesn't need it.
In short, I hella feel for you mate, take it easy on yourself.
Also, wonderfully harsh read, no offense.
-
Thanks-- yeah, I was angry yesterday, and today I'm still mad but now I'm just a bit saddened about the whole ordeal. I'm 33 right? My kid sister Erica (9 then) (adopted name Saige) and my kid brother (3 then) were adopted when I was 19. Saige was a living hell for my parents, but considering how I was raised I couldn't entirely hold it against her. However, with that being said she is a compulsive liar whose word I take with a grain of salt.
Saige stirred up all sorts of shit with my stepdad's side of the family up in PA, and there was a sequence of nasty letters exchanged between them and my parents. My mom called me and asked me to take Saige/Erica down off of my MySpace friends list. I told her that despite that fact that I hadn't heard from Saige in some time, and that even though she and I didn't have any sort of relationship other than a connection on MySpace I wasn't going to remove her. My mom tried to manipulate me with trash-talk stories about Saige, of which didn't sway me, because I even though they are true-- I'm not going to remove a girl who is my legal adopted sister because she and my mom hate each other.
That was like... a month maybe more ago over the telephone.
Then my mom messaged me on Facebook out of the blue with that shit I posted in my blog.
She has since attempted to take back what she said out of anger, but fuck her. I don't put up with that sort of horseshit. I'm going to give her a nice long time to think about what she has done.
EDIT: Normally I don't usually hold any of the abuse I underwent at her hands as a kid against her. But for that letter I wrote back to her, I made an exception.
-
Jace, I was trying to figure out what you were talking about when you said that I was searching for something else. Then I realized that you forgot that I don't care about Max. :P
Also, good luck with your family issues.
-
Yeah she realized you weren't going to cry about it and apologize. No offense but she's a dumbass if she doesn't even know her own son is not the kind of fellow to do such.
I've known you for almost two years now and I know you've always been a hard ass, not to take shit from anyone. Whats that say?
P.S. Everyone grab your shit off the boat and lets get the hell out of here, I'm ready to move on.

Heh. Well we'll see how things go. I'm not "above" apologies, but I didn't start this shit-- it literally came out of the blue. For me at least. My evil adopted sister has been a "friend" on my MySpace for like... a couple of years now. We don't communicate much, or ever really. But she's there in case I need to get a hold of her, you know?
Well, she and my mom HATE each other, and my sister Saige has been gathering a smear campaign against her with our northern relatives, or so I've been told.
My mom demanded that I take her off my friends list, and I told her no. That I was sorry, but I wasn't going to do it. I felt that I needed to keep that connection open just in case.
She was a little mad, but seemed to respect my wishes. Then a month and a half later I get that diatribe of insanity with her disowning me.
Yeah Tommy, I have an unfortunate reknown temper, and I gave her both barrels.
So be it.
Pingo treads water at the surface, annoyed at the burst of exhaustion that suddenly washed over him. He slowly begins doggy paddling back to shore to rest. "Sorry Max. I failed you".
Tommy, you can rewrite this if you wish--
Kestrel
Has not submitted a post for Phase Two.
Pingo
Is coming up... too tired...
This was meant as an OOC message that was announcing that I, the GM, was too tired and would write your post later-- Sorry if it was confusing.
I'm off work tomorrow, and will be lurking on the boards all day and posting.
At least, that's the plan.
-
Take care, man :)
I was just on my way to some IC threads :)
-
just take it easy Jace, chill out for a few days ;) we don't mind so long as it keeps you sane and able to post :p
-
Oh...lol I just thought you meant Pingo was tired and was surfacing. I think I'm not going to rewrite it though. Pingo probably has most of his stuff on the mules from when he packed earlier. I'm just ready to get out the water and move on. I've been having my own problems here at home. I guess it's just that time of the year, everyone's getting fucked over.

"And my entire collection of Mexican Porno Magazines was ruined..." The Kid says as well with tears in his little brown eyes. Bones too shakes his head too at this sad loss.

Hey Jace, whats that website you make the maps on, I wanna check it out. I may run a game online in the future sometime so Joey can continue to play since he's leaving for the Air Force soon. He's gotten to play a couple sessions table top now though and surprisingly he's as big a nerd as all of us lol

You guys initially were like "All our shit is one the boats"-- so I decided to work it a little bit of both-- the GROUPs stuff was mostly lost, but each of you had a Individual Equipment thing from the LoN-- Each of those is still on the mules.

A scanner?
Damn. I have not this device.
Well what do other people use?

How's this for watch order then?
Pingo & Eisen
Richard & Kestrel
Dr. Loder & Bones
The Dr and Bones are on coffee duty it looks like. :)

Alrighty, myth-weavers hates me apparently. Anyone know what amount of xp we have? I don't recall there being any individuals earning more or less off the top of my head...

You guys should be at 15350.

I find I hilarious how Russo hasn't been forced to take a watch yet, when this happens in most D&D games that person gets used as bait... or trap trigger-er or thrown at zombie dinosaurs
-
Yeah, we definitely need some zombie dinosaurs :P
-
Nice post Flay.
-
Kestrel is up next, then Loder. I will handle Bones last and bring the morning with me.
-
Why does everybody keep forgetting about Russo in their posts? Though to be honest I think he's so below Richard's notice he just sort of blends into the background with the jungle :lmao
"Russo? uh.... is he an NPC?"
"no...... he is a player character"
"how come I never noticed him before"
"noticed who?

Thanks Rajin! And oh pooor Russo, I notice you!
-
I thought about you, I swear! I must have gotten sidetracked by my job and skipped you. *furiously goes to edit Russo in now*
Edit: Yay, not left out anymore! I even remembered the kid. :p
-
Look mom, I'm making friends :P
Thanks for the heads up, Jace :)
-
LMAO!!! I'm not complaining not really I just find it funny how Russo seems beneath most players (and GMs :p) notice :lmao
I'll be your friend Bowen :D
-
Great posts so far guys! Awesome work--
And I think that Russo's cursed, because I actually think about Russo the character quite often. However, he STILL manages to slip my mind from time to time. Pooor pooor bastard. Cursed to be there, but unseen.
-
Cursed to be there, but unseen.
Geez thats almost worse than death lol

Question Jace Windu, umm in Pingo's possessions you have an item: Blowgun w/ Needle-Darts (10).
What is that exactly? They are poisoned I assume? Just wanted a bit of info since I never considered them before.
-
Oh yeah, I'll be out of town tomorrow night and Saturday, I'll try to post if I have access to wireless.

what the hell's going on it's like some sort of mass exodus! :twitch

Wee, I'm back!
Edit: I come up with a well thought out post and IC goes down on me. :banghead
-
Yay I am back as of now as well.
-
Jace has invited me to join you guys as part of his foreign campaign exchange program, ie Isle Noir had to be sacrificed to keep Jace from ODing on caffeine to keep it going. I'm fine with this arrangement and was trying to come up with character ideas. So i'm here looking to the players to let me know what kind of character they feel they need or even skill sets covered. I'm trying not to step on anyone's toes or make a character that is just all too close to someone else's, so if any ideas i throw out there are too close to how you see your character let me know so i can revise them.
-
And from a GMing standpoint, it is my intention to include a side-quest of sorts that will bring the main party into contact with the new party members.
Ideally, these other guys will have been members of another group who were in the jungle. We aren't certain what this other group was doing in the Jungle, but it had nothing to do with Nazis.
They could have been traveling through the jungle on their way to resupply a village or missionary outpost somewhere-- they could have been on a hunting expedition-- so if you have an idea, post it.
-
I'll get back to IC posts tomorrow, sorry 'bout the slow last couple of days guys, had a lot of stuff going on.
-
Aww, is my automatic +18 spot modifier making my DM unhappy? :P
Nope! It just makes things easier!
-

Strength in numbers Jace!
its a pity Isle Noir had to be euthanized but I sympathize with you Jace running two campaigns (especially such demanding hustings like Artifact and Isle Noir) is a pain in the ass at the best of times.
on another note I welcome those who feel like joining, though we are running a little slow atm It's a nice place to be and the sofas are comfy (just don't drink the coffee)
a hunting expedition seems like a good excuse, a bunch of people could have been hunting El Abuelo and we just happen to run into them :D
-
Richard might even know them or have heard of them, or vice versa, if they're hunters :D
-
Well i was planning on being a guard for a missionary group. We just so happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I'll be running around with a BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle), a favorite of Bonnie and Clyde, as my primary weapon. I should also be capable in Melee but would rather not test that more than necessary. The rest you guys will find out after we meet :devil
Jace has the link to my sheet already and i'll post it in the characters thread once we are pretty sure i didn't mess anything up.
Oh and Bowen i think that you and I think too much alike. My original character idea would have practically been a clone of your character, it was scary once i saw your sheet. So stay out of my head and i'll try and stay out of yours. ;)
-
What colors are everyone for IC speech? I was going back and looking at it and it seems to change over the threads and some people have the same colors. I just need to know which are available for me to choose from.
-
I'm GREEN! :P
-
Blue for me :)
And I'll try ;)
-
Thanks for the offer to join this game but i think I will remain a spectator on this one. Got a lot going on in RL at the moment, wish I could find the extra time to create something for this game.
Keep up the good work here though, I am still following the game thread regularly..
-
I'll be Teal?
-
I've been posting in teal up to this point, but I'll switch to Maroon

Alrighty! Thanks for letting us know, and as always I welcome spectators! Without a second migrant player, I'll have to rethink how I will bring in Arch. ORIGINALLY I was going to have Melb coming out of the jungle, looking for help, which would lead the rest of you guys to Arch's predicament...
BUT, I think I can work around this.
Melb, I didn't want to leave anyone behind from Isle Noir if I didn't have to. But as far as time constraints go-- I hear ya!
(and on THAT note-- It's off to work I go!)
-
Oh, and Bones speaks in Maroon.
The Kid speaks in Lime Green
and all other NPCs will speak in Navy from here in.
-
Ok. I think i'm suitably caught up. I read the last couple of pages of part I and all of part II. Stupid Nazis did a
drive float-by-shooting on the group, and that ain't cool.
If no one else is using it i'll take brown, though in preview it looks kinda close to maroon.
I'm fine with whatever you come up with to get me in the game Jace, if you want i can come up with a few scenario's so it is less work on you.
-
[spoiler](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/7aro7dragoon/dontmakemedignifythat.png)[/spoiler]
every body speaks in brown... especially Russo -_- and he is unamused once more that he has been for gotten in this he would also like to point out that he hasn't changed his colour since he said hello back at the start
I personally feel sorry for Russo we all should :p
its cool though I don't mind sharing colours hell maroon is so similar to brown I often mistake Bones for Russo from time to time..... now that I see the two face to face (as it were) Maroon is much darker....
-
If it makes you feel better i thought Russo was using Maroon.
i can easily pick another color There are 14 to choose from, i think 1 should be free.
-
NO! ALL MINE!!!! :evillaugh
-
NO! ALL MINE!!!! :evillaugh
If only he didn't have that buffalo gun i might be willing to argue with him. :lol
-
NO! ALL MINE!!!! :evillaugh
If only he didn't have that buffalo gun i might be willing to argue with him. :lol
If you go with beige I'll use it on you too, that color hurts my eyes. :P
-
red seems untaken though it's a bit garish. purple also good an I don't think anybody is using orange though if your heart is set on brown russo don't mind changing
-
I'm gathering opinions on the name of this Biker Gang I'm going to put into this upcoming Web Comic I'm going to do. I want you to choose your favorite from those choices presented. Please consider that this is a PhobiaVerse version of the Hells Angels.
Thanks in advance!
-
Don't feel the need to wait on j0lt to respond to Flay before you post, unless you feel it will directly affect your actions-- j0lt will post in about 8-12 hours likely.

I picked Sons of Asgard but have a few variations to toss at you too.
Asgard's A-holes (just because you were a great warrior didn't mean anyone liked you)
Roll'n Thunder (must have loud pipes on them)
Bifrost Breakers (requires a bit more knowledge but cool none the less)
Niflhel's Valkyries (direct equivalent of hells angels :D)
Oh BTW i love Norse mythology so this is one of those things that gets the brain going.

By the by, the Dresden Files are fucking amazing, and I need to play World of Darkness. Now.
-
Yeah, LOVES me some Dresden.
Mage and Demon were the only WoD games I liked personally. I like Monte Cooks d20 WoD MUCH better. The magic system in McWoD is unrivaled.
-
Man, I've gone through the first 6 dresden in a week and a half, my bag has Dead Beat in it now. I've only played a short intro to mage to get the rules down, and apparently my roomies husband is making a vamp game. Now I need to read THAT 300+ pg rulebook too, lol.
In game though, we doing watch like last night?
-
No reason not to for the watch. If everyone is done with the making camp posts, we can get rolling into the night. If you aren't sure where you are in the watch lemme know. If you would like to change your place in the watch rotation for any reason do so In-Character.
Yeah, I started reading Dresden back during the time I had the flu a couple of months ago. My girlfriend had been a fan years earlier, and owned the entire collection, give or take 2 she couldn't find (I graciously repurchased those missing titles for myself during my read through.) I love how everything just constantly builds. It's like a pressure cooker, and it the stakes ever-increasing ad to the tension. Love it!
In the Mage game I played a "reformed" ex-con car thief. He was one of those Euthanatos fate/luck/death mages. In a perfect illustration as to why playing RPGs in a all-access game store environment isn't necessarily the best choice for cohesive group experiences...
Another player, for no reason other than that he was bored and "felt like it" set a bomb on a car that was located relatively close to the group as we discussed our future plans.
The bomb blew up, injuring most of us, and killing the new player who had literally just finished creating his PC.
The party split up in different directions in order to hunt this other guy down who had in the meantime holed-up in his home.
With the Mage magic system I was able to fire my pistol into the guys front window, the fire from the combustion of gunpowder rode the bullet into the home, where my Luck powers allowed the bullet to ricochet into his very explosive chemicals. His house go boom. Another player was on the roof of a building in the alley behind his house with a high powered sniper rifle. Had I failed he would not have.
Good times.
The Demon PC I played with that same group is actually the same character as the Demon you guys have encountered tales of so far. Distilled into d20.
-
The one time I got to play mage i basically made Lou Kang. It wasn't a very good experience just because the storyteller was an ass. I basically got screwed the first time i used a spell because he didn't explain how powerful each number of success would make a spell. So in trying to kill a bum on a bench he decided i took out half of central park and almost killed the entire group. He had also already railroaded us into bargaining our souls away for nothing, we didn't get much of a choice since we couldn't just say no and walk away.

Well i didn't walk away at that time, but the whole group quit the game by the end of the session due to his asshatery. I got my revenge about a year later though, he slept with my girlfriend at the time so i dumped her after i whipped his ass (i'm sure it is embarrassing to get beat by someone who is less than half your size) and got him fired (he was working at the same fast food place as I was at the time and it was more important to keep me than him).

As soon as everyone starts to post again, we'll be able to get you involved shortly Arch!

I figured. I know it takes work to get new people into a game. I've been busy most of the weekend anyway. I'll see you guys in the game. ;)

Man, I've gone through the first 6 dresden in a week and a half
Just wait it gets even better ;)
never played any WOD but I really (and I mean really really) want to, the problem is being a britfag myself it's hard to find people to play with and my current victims-ah-uh i mean players really don't want to change systems which I can honestly sympathize with, I just really want to read through the core book and see what it's like but I am poor for now and Christmas is coming up so I really can't justify spending money on myself right now
also..

dude that fucking sucks, to steal your girlfriend is one thing but to fuck up a game like that is just unforgivable! :p
seriously though dude sounds like a douche get a banhammer on him and by banhammer I mean huge ass battle axe (a warhammer or huge sword is also acceptable)

Dude, not to spoil too much for anyone reading, but he just ate half the fucking villains with an undead T.rex! No wonder people actually animate those on the min/max boards! If only Harry was more of an artificer, undead robot (Frenzied Berserker) T.Rex with frikkin lazer beams.

Sorry about that-- I have to delve into my net resources for that. my copy was destroyed my my PC died. Good to find out that I didn't have that handy though!
-
Does Pingo have any good poisons to go with those darts? :D
-
Well he is a native so I was hoping so! :D
-
Time to look for some funky-colored frogs I guess :P
-
Hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving. I know i ate more than my fair share of food.
Time to look for some funky-colored frogs I guess :P
As the resident coon-ass around here i feel obligated to point out that when fried frog legs are easily mistaken for chicken wings, and taste just as good. Even the one's with "special" properties.
-
Hey I'm a coon ass too! :p
-
Yes. The two of you have had this conversation once before... :p
-
Oh yeah, Jace I never got that info for Pingo's blowgun and mini darts.
Found them!
Poisoned blowgun darts (Injury poison, initial: paralysis 2d6 minutes, secondary: none, save DC: 15. Creation DC: 20, purchase DC: 9).
-
Eisen wastes no time grabbing his bag; luckily it was his watch, or he might not have been fully dressed already. "Do we want to investigate, or try and lie in wait around the camp? The light might be used as a lure if we could get in the trees and wait for the assailant..."

Listen: 14 (brush moving from a creatures movements, or hearing other human reactions) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2337152/)
WTf is up with my spot suddenly rolling so much higher than my listen? Weird...
But yeah guys, do we wanna set a trap or investigate?[/spoiler]
a very distinct part of me is screaming to investigate :D You don't have to if you don't want to :bigeye
-
Going to Guam tomorrow, be back on Thursday! :D
-
Well have a good trip. What kind of souvenir are you going to get me :p?
Seriously have fun and be safe.
-
wtf Guam? lol
-
I'm back.

Sweet! Poison! Somebodies getting fucked by a rainbow colored frog's mucus lol

My immediate thoughts. (http://www.cracked.com/article/130_6-horrifying-ways-to-improve-your-sex-life/) the first one on the page too.

CURSE YOU INVISIBLE CASTLE! CURSE YOOOOOOUUUUU!!!
-
Indeed.
-
lol This reminds me of working at Quiznos with you.
-
lol This reminds me of working at Quiznos with you.
Chasing mysterious entities through the jungle? Yeah. Totally like working at Quiznos. ;)
Seriously though... huh?
-
Survival will be a good choice
Yea that is my choice too. Sad that so many character don't choose to survive, often helped by raging minotaur or some other DM death device. :lol
-
*kicks Invisible Castle*
-
It's running now! And I want my wii back...
-
Dr. Loder is back, and he's NOT running off into the bush to chase a group of angry cannibals!
-
Sorry for my poor attendance; I work retail and it is Christmastime. Hours are longer and I've been getting home and sleeping most of my free hours away.
Sorry.
I'm supposed to work up another map fro you guys, so you know what you will be dealing with here shortly.
Ugh... I will have a game update in the next couple of days-- I apologize.
-
The whole curse you Tommy, curse you!!!! You used to say it all the time when we worked and I fucked something minor up... I remember the little things man, the little things lol
-
Try not to get too stressed out, Jace ;)
We're not going anywhere, we'll be patient :)
-
Life happens and we can't always control it. So no worries.
It looks like our lounge is about to get locked down. When are we headed to the bar down the street :smirk
-
Actually unless you guys specifically wish to lock down the Lounge, then we are fine. The BG's allow the GM's handle thread size and locking threads of each's own game. :)
Ugh... my feet... hurt... I'd say that I can't wait for the holidays to end, but when they do... I'll be back down to getting like 14 hours a week.
I'm off for the rest of today, and I am off tomorrow (Monday)-- It is a safe bet that I will have made the needed update in that time.
-
I'm behind, but not far behind.
I spent yesterday working on the battlemap that is to be upcoming-- it's a big one!
My scanner isn't behaving yet though-- and I've got to get it working so I can obviously get the map up and on the internet for you guys.
I have some time today before work tonight to work on it and I am off once again tomorrow. It seems very likely that I will have a success with it soon.
(just wanted you guys to know that I am working towards the goal!) :)
-
I spent yesterday working on the battlemap that is to be upcoming-- it's a big one!
:twitch GOD DAMNIT! :P
-
Its alive!
Glad to see this moving again i was starting to get worried.
-
whoooo!!!
-
Do it big my negro.
-
Yay, progress :)
-
Still haven't gotten the scanner up yet, but I wanted to show you guys a sneak preview of the battle map. I'll computer color it up and add the little faces and everything before it gets posted.
http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/2540/dsc01662.jpg
You guys will be approaching from the south, aka the bottom of the map.
-
Jesus fuck you did do it big. I love it. I wanna make sweet ass maps like this. I use a giant plastic map that you can wipe washable markers away for my table top game but I am no artist like you. [spoiler]http://www.dark-platypus.com/image/magna-map2-big.jpg[/spoiler]
-
You know what i like about the map. If the group fires from the hole in the wall of the ball court even the "sniper" will be taking a range penalty. Thank you soooo much for that Jace, every DM i've had before always had fights start off with in 30' of the party because they were lazy.
-
So it seems that Jace is MIA. I'm guessing he's either gotten another job and is too busy for anything else except sleep (unlikely), or his internet has been cut off.
ragincajun2288, any intel for us?
-
I'm sure he is just busy, it is almost Christmas :)
-
I know there were a few people with finals this week. He might have been not checking in until after they are supposed to be done.
I know i'm really busy right now. About to start a new job and my current boss doesn't know yet, good times. I might hand him the pirate resignation letter, he would get the joke.
-
...or his internet has been cut off. :bigeye
I'm back. Bills are paid. Work HAS been insane, we're open until 11PM every night and I've been accumulating sleep deprivation.
But I'm back.
Sorry about the lack of warning. The day after I lost the net I asked Frank (aka Bones' somewhat player) to post and let you guys know what had happened.
I can see that he completely forgot.
Anyway. I will be updating this weekend. This week has kicked my ass and back again.
-
The Artifact lives! :D
-
Welcome back :)
-
I'll be speratic for a little while. Starting a new job that is going to have me busy cleaning up the old IT guy's mess. I also now have a funeral on Monday as my grandmother passed away yesterday. So this has been a roller coaster week and it looks like the ride isn't stopping for a while.
-
Yay! We're back!
-
And so we go on to WAAAAAAAARGH!
-
For the Imperium!
-
okay-- my scanner has literally JUST come back to life-- fiddled with it's wires, unplugged and then replugged. Had to start, restart, and then restart my art program before it actually starting working.
So that is the cause of my behind schedule. I'm scanning the art now. I'll have it ready or close to ready for posting by late this evening, then I should have it ready and posted during the morning tomorrow.
I dunno wtf I did with my wacom tablet pen... I'll have to settle for using the mouse. Grrrr...
-
Enjoy this oldschool Jonny Quest episode-- Jungles and angry natives abound!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFepmN4rKKk&feature=related
If you happen to like JQ, that channel happens to host a bunch of old JQ episodes. Watching these old cartoons really shows how great a job The Venture Bros did in parodying even little JQ nuances.
-----
The map is coming along well. I've got a few more things to do, but I'm trying to get them all done ASAP.
(http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/2779/nearlydone.jpg)

Looking good :)
Never saw the original JQ series, only the newer one from the 90's...

Side Note: Nanshork
Hey man, sorry I haven't posted any pictures I drew of Richard yet. I have tried a couple of versions that I really didn't like. I haven't forgotten you, and I wanted you to know that.
-
HAHAHA, love how similarly Russo and Eisen think Tarot! :D

It's alright, I have already forgotten what reference pictures I sent you. :P
-
And IC is down again :banghead

IC is now up.
Jace i amended my post on the bottom of page 20 to reflect this change of events. IE my roll in there.

Sweet deal! I've posted in turn.
Also, I didn't know you were a Wheel of Time fan! I LOVE that series. I'm rereading the series again ATM before I read the newest. I'm Crown of Swords. j0lt just started reading Eye of the World, so no Spoilers -- but damn! I'm working on a WoT campaign for my home group based around 6 players and it picks up at the start of The Dragon Reborn, chronologically speaking.
My meta-premise is that a group of badass Darkfriends have been given orders by one of the Chosen to track down a series of caches containing Items of the Power, hidden away since the Breaking of the World. The players stumble upon this plot of course, and likely will try to intervene and at some point taking up the hunt themselves.
-
Yea i like it too. I made it through about book 4 or 5 before life got in the way of me reading it. I need to go back and get book 1 again and will start over once i can get them all.
In the game i was planning on running i had a crazy set of ideas that i was running with. including what was the equivalent to multiple Dragon's running around due to mirror worlds.
-
Wheel of Time?! Yeah, don't spoil anything! I am due to start the series myself quite soon when my friend finishes reading the first book.
-
jace you fucking maps are amazing! you have really mastered the art of map making.
i have been playing a lot of 4th edition and starwars saga table top, and your ruins are a tactical movement nerds dream. you should print them all nice to scale and laminate (or other wise make dry erasable) them and sell them at local game stores. it would be awesome! could you actually blow them up to 1 inch squares with out losing detail?
dude Mal is in classic adventure trouble surrounded at the top of a ruin pyramid by cannibals....CLASSIC! wicker shield sled idea also classic!
good luck guys, this is the funnest story i ever read. it is like watching an old cartoon adventure, you guys rock.
any way merry fuken x-mas to all.
take it easy all
-
LMAO!!! just saw the maps! loving the cannibals! :lmao
And Merry Christmas guys :D
-
Merry Christmas! Now let's go save that random stranger that he might join us in our quest! :p
-
Merry Christmas guys!
-
Happy X-mas all!
-
Merry Christmas :)
Will have an IC post up tomorrow.
-
Expect an updated map with a post today. I'm watching old JQ cartoons and fiddling with the battle map.
-
I SEE you neull//--! I hope you are doing well!
-
Anyway, I'll be off work Sunday evening, all of Monday, and I don't go back to work until 5pm Tuesday...
So if you guys post, I'll be able to respond in relatively rapid time. Hope your weekend is going well!
-
Damn you Christmastime! Damn you to HELL!!!
No one announced that they'd be going out of town or anything... Anyone out there?
*crickets chirping*
Hmm... I guess not! :p
-
I'm back now. posting response as we speak. I actually didn't go out of town but have been busy otherwise.
-
Just waiting for the decision on the machinegun...
-
Sorry about that delay, I'm catching up now.
-
Am I taking them out now or shall I wait for a signal?
Good god man start popping some heads so I can get out of here. ;)
-
I agree, better hurry before Pingo just starts charging... in fact, that's not a bad idea though. Pingo charging and drawing attention away from the stranger (Mal) while everyone else moves into position to gang bang his attackers. The native would be up for it.
-
There, hopefully I'm helping trip the line and take the initiative, in a matter of speaking, lol.
Sorry Jace, girlfriend made last minute plans that I was loathe to miss, y'know! But I'm back, in black (and darkgreen text).
-
sorry guys got spirited away for the past few days to go see relatives (I have never eaten so much in my entire damn life!)
not sure about the machine gun, its rather awkward to move and wht if the kid..... oh fuck it lets grab it she needs her breakfast.
-
Now it's my turn to have some posting difficulties-- I'll have everything updated tomorrow afternoon, after I get home from work.
Sorry!
-
I took a nice long nap after work today. Last night, I had a hard time getting to sleep and then woke up early for work, so by the time I made it home I more or less passed out.
Tommy-- I assumed that Pingo would be sticking with Bones, and moving closer due to Pingo anxiousness to get this shit STARTED! Woo!
Bowen-- any thoughts as to where you would like to move to?
ALSO: ONLY MAL IS IN INITIATIVE ORDER ALONG WITH THE SAVAGES. Any one of you approaching can initiate a Surprise Round, I assume with a Sniper Shot.
Once the Surprise round runs, you'll all roll initiative.
Once combat starts, I ask that all participants make an extra effort to check the game throughout the week. This is going to be a doozy of a battle!
Hmmm... what else? OH YEAH!
It is OFFICIALLY Mal's turn in initiative! Hurray Mal!
-
I'm actually starting to feel giddy about this battle-- I think it's going to be freakin' sweet-- These cannibals are the same types that the rest of you had faced already, so this should be entertaining, to say the least--
Especially once Russo & Loder arrive with their heavy fire power!
-
I'm a little excited and nervous about this fight, Mal is in a bad spot but has a real chance at living once the group gets involved. Either way this is going to be fun.
I hope it ends up well enough that i can retrieve my pistol, but if not oh well it was a backup weapon anyway. I still have my brass knuckles in my bag as a backup for later.
Oh and thanks for the correction on my actions Jace, i really don't know what i was thinking posting that many actions for one round. I hate when I make blatantly stupid mistakes like that.
-
The native he lands on his noggin a couple of steps down, his neck bends in a sickening manner, and you hear an audible snap as it breaks.
I think the natives are going to make me regret that choice. I guess someone should have taught him how to swan dive properly. :p

About to head out of town for a new year's party probably won't be back online until tomorrow afternoon.
We are insane driving to Houston just to play Rockband and leaving there for a 4 hr drive back at around 4 or 5 AM. Its always a fun trip though.

Party still going strong too. Just finished 2nd 5hr energy of the night so no sleep for me until 7 or 8 so that should be enough to make it back home.

Mal the result of your action is as follows:

I laughed my hungover ass off at that, nice one Jace :D

Happy New Years all! And I swear, if nazi's show up Jace, I'm going to kill you. I don't know how to kill via the internet, but I'll damned well try! :D

-
Don't worry, Loder's coming with a mothaf*ckin' tripod! :lmao
-
Heh, yeah the picture was awesome.
-
Happy Shoot Out guys!
That implies the Native's have guns and plan on using them. That is a recipe for unpleasantness.
I love the picture too, it is about right for Mal to just kick him in the ass and move on.

Nah! No hand guns, but these other guys can tell you; The Native are in no shortage of Ranged Weaponry.
I was just updating the map to match the declared actions for the surprise round so far, and I've included a couple of neat touches. Look for the Mute's Word Bubble and Muzzle Flashes in front of those who have used firearms in a particular round.
-
out of interest Jace how long will it take for Russo and Loader to catch up with the others?
-
Thanks for the heads up, Jace :)
Apparently my previous post got eaten by the boards... :banghead
Give me a couple of minutes and I'll have (the essence of) that previous post back up.

Note that it would be difficult to see Cannibals from his POV if they were to duck down on their step.

It's going to be "some time yet" which is to I'm going to play fairly loose with time-- you guys will arrive a few rounds into the combat...
Also, has anyone seen Nanshork?
-
Jace what programs do you use for all of your wonderful graphics? I don't have much talent for art but would love to try and incorporate graphics like this in my games.

BTW, I'm really loving all these graphics and the huge map. All the angles your showing really help me put everything in perspective and get me into the battle. I can literally see it unfolding in my mind's eye. I appreciate the work you do as a GM to give us this, its above the standard in my experiences.

Thanks guys! It is a lot of work, but in MOST cases it is pretty fun. I couldn't do it without help of my art programs and easy access to the rules... oh, and a Part-Time job. And a bong ;)
I'm a very visual person by nature, and this is all the stuff that I like to know when I'm in a gaming situation. As a sometimes "MacGyver PC" in the field myself, I like to see my options as clearly as possible.
-
awesome stuff jace!!! knocking it out of the park as usual
-
To jump the bandwagon where it needs jumping, the maps are incredibly helpful Jace, and they started out awesome, thanks. Most together DM I've seen on these boards.
....Though for some reason my theme song in my head for this battle is The Groove by Muse... odd...
-
Heh, I was gonna go with Welcome To The Jungle by GnR, although I guess that was more appropriate for our first battle...
-
*jumps and catches the side* these maps are Incredible Jace! I showed them to my current Naruto d20 players and they now wish you were their GM, ungrateful bastards, I think the exact words were "how come you never put that much effort into our maps?"
on another note I think something wicked this way comes. :bigeye

Yeah, Eisen's little brain's already asking the big "where are the nazi's" question, and I think Russo and Loders might have just found out.
Which begs the question, did the kid get jumped, and is Russo really trying to startle a kid that was handed a gun? :D

Well considering the stench is the first thing that is noted they would be Zombie Nazis and i think that could get Jace in trouble with the Call of Duty franchise.

should we start rolling new character sheets now or just wait till it kills us? :rollseyes

Now that the DoS (denial of service) attack on BG is over, it is time for us to continue our DoF (denial of food) attack on the cannibals. :devil
-
I prefer to call it Denial of Life :smirk

This is because you weren't the one they were trying to convince that the pot was a hot tub. I have an extra priority before killing them, don't get eaten. :D

Apparently I have to pay more attention to the actions of people who technically go after I do since I got multiple messages about my actions.
Editing post to change target.
Edit: As a generic FYI, the post with Macin crumpling was edited after I posted. I don't think it said that when I was reading the posts.

lol-- no worries-- actually Macin DID crumble before you posted. The only edit that had been made was a boldening of the first part.
EDIT:
However this does not address what you were saying,
I see your point about not checking on people that come after you in initiative.
Normally, Macin would have been killed by you and Eisen/Flay would have had to choose a new target. I didn't count on you targeting Macin as well, so I declared him dead from Eisen's shot. Sorry if I contributed to any confusion as well.
-
I should have the latter half of the round posted within two hours. I've figured out what the rest of the cannibals are doing on paper, now I need to adjust the map up to Mal's action... and of course compose the post itself.
Check back later! :D
-
Yay i managed to escape the death trap. Now it is from the frying pan into the fire (fight).

Ahhh, even though I may die from the jungle demon or the collection of cannibals Pingo is looking to gather around him this battle is very enjoyable. I'm having loads of fun and it's only the third round.
Oh, Mal you'll notice one native is killing the others right? Please don't shoot me lol

we are fucked, we are so so fucked..... :bigeye god damn this Nausea! tell that beast to take a shower! :mad

Gimme a couple of minutes to post, still busy picking up my jaw from the new A-Team trailer...
EDIT: Posted :)

Yeah! I've been waiting for the A-Team movie to come out for YEARS now-- It's been long due. Even if it ends up sucking.
I loved the series, having grown up American in the 80's. I wasn't allowed to watch it because my mother considered it to be too violent. Thankfully, I spent half the day at my grandparents, who didn't give a shit what I watched!
Thanks grandma & grandad for the A-Team!

Yeah, I grew up with shows like that :)
Gotta love the '80's :D

OK-- Just got home from work. Dunno if I'll have the gumption to do the update tonight...
But I am off for the next three days, so I will be available and watching the game boards during this time since it's cold as fuck outside, and I'm a hermit anyway.

Richard sees Boaba jumping through the air and takes aim, firing at the figure in midair.
Hit: 21
Damage: 11
I'm on a roll!
Dude me too! We're all slaying. The Gods of The Dice are on our side this battle.
Now if only they will help us not die from The Beast. :bigeye

Today's update cometh-- slept almost all day today doing my best hibernating bear routine--
Good news is that I did most of the hard work earlier, so lemme just finish up the descriptors, and post that map!
w00t! come back soon!
-
Hey Jace Mal's movement isn't reflected on the map. I guess because i listed it before my spoiler tag it got missed. I'll make it a point to put all of my actions in the spoiler tag next time. Mal is in a safe enough position that you can ignore his movement, it isn't important enough to make you have to redo the map IMO.

Ooops! I'm sorry man! I'd rather NOT ignore his movement, but I will update his movement to be shown the next time the map IS updated--
The rest of you:
If you wanna really know where Mal is located-- ignore his location on the map, and read the post Archangel made...
-
Oh I did kill Elaf? I just now noticed that, hell yeah I am droppin em'. If we make it out of this alive Pingo is gonna need some doctoring though.
-
Don't forget Tommy/Pingo-- you've got two-weapon fighting as well!
-
Ha, yeah, just utilized it baby. Was waiting for the opportunity actually. Then that dumb cannibal tried to stab me, showed him what for.
Thanks for the back up that followed guys. Bones with the ever epic call, "To me"!
-
Kinda makes Pingo look like a puppy, huh? :D Kidding!
Anyways, been working on the follow-up to Eisen (which you all never knew and Jace probably forgot, is also named Eisen); whatcha guys think?

[/spoiler]Originally, I was thinking hellish money would be needed for weapons, but I'm actually making him more a light -skirmish guy instead of Borya-the-weapons-locker, so I'll probably change his occupation to adventurer.
-
The main campaign is quite different from the prologue, in that it's not at all a military campaign, so having an outright military-style character armed with a 21st century assault rifle doesn't really fit.
I'll let Jace fill in the rest of what info he wants to give out now, so as not to step on his toes.
-
looks like the beast isn't in the mood for a limey stew or yank burger today! :eh
guess all my panicking was for nothing :D
yeah between me and girl tarot I think I got my char sorted for the main campaign, defiantly not a combat build.
Anyways, been working on the follow-up to Eisen (which you all never knew and Jace probably forgot, is also named Eisen)
you like that name don't ya?
-
And I won't be talking about the main campaign until AFTER this battle is completed. :)
First things first-- I should have managed a post last night, but it turns out that the "nap" I took decided to be 12 hours long in duration.
-
lots of ideas and concepts for main story arc character but we will burn that bridge when we get there. ;)

quick list of Role's as i see them, if you come up with more i'll add them to the list:
Captain- a leader for the crew and probably the guy who steers the boat either and is the primary or secondary person for that Job.
Pilot- guy who drives the boat, not vital but does have an effect on the captain's job requirements.
Engineer/Mechanic- keeps the boat going.
Medical- not vital but i'm sure we would have run into some broken bones and snake bites so not a bad idea either.
Mercenary- combat exceptional-ism. Security for when were screwed. Everybody should be combat capable though.
Scout- Stealthy person who gets intel and 'procures' items for us without other people's knowledge.
Face- Deals with delicate situations without resorting to violence or burglary.

"ggGGRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRrrr!"

"ggGGRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRrrr!"

It's a bowel movement. Move action, sorry! :D
Though yeah, should that have been heard, and if so does it thus provoke Spot/Listen checks, or would that be out of place for the round at hand?
-
When a player wishes to make a spot check (http://12tomidnight.com/d20modernsrd/Skills.php?Name=Spot) it is considered a full-round action. Listen (http://12tomidnight.com/d20modernsrd/Skills.php?Name=Listen) is a move-action.
-
Oh shit...

Hey! At least the Dice Gods of IC are with you guys ATM! :lol :fo

is according with most rules govorning such things, generally one cannot be afflicted by the same effect for another 24 hours right? or is this some other sort of effect?

actually if it is an aura type effect, which it seems to be, it can get you every time it comes near. the ones your thinking of are more mind affecting powers....
typing this up i realized that im not sure how to use the words effect or affect properly :banghead

Thank god for heroic surge, or I'd be fucked by one move action a round. Just gotta go epic on this place! Vin Diesel status! :D

I love the Riddick movies. Ever see the animated movie? Took place between films 1 &2. Done bu that Peter Chung guy who did the Aeon Flux cartoons.
-
I think I started to watch it, but got pulled away. All I remember is people were dying, but then again, Riddick. If you rearrange the letters in Vin Diesel's name...
-
The animated movie? Dark Fury? I loved that movie! Probably the best one actually, none of Vin's shitty acting, but you still got to keep his killer deep voice!
-
never seen the animated film myself, heard it wasn't too bad but not got round to watching/buying it yet, one day... one day...
-
i like the story in the animated movie but i HATE the animation...hated flux as well though.
and yes vin is a terrible actor bu i think riddick was the only role he did well.
-
Probably because Riddick didn't require much acting. Just unloading a God damn dump truck of unholy whoop ass on his enemies. He should have been handing out business cards.
-
a review of the games.... and vin Diesel's acting (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/714-The-Chronicles-of-Riddick-Assault-on-Dark-Athena)

.....not quite sure cuddly is the word..... :twitch

Aaaaah..... one move action per round, wunderbar. Let's see, how can one get creative to kill a beastie in a move action.
Alternatively, I need to see if I can't move out of range of the scent. Or burn away the scent! Or, or, or..... gah, fuck you IC! :banghead
Hey hey, does Heroic surge still work while nauseated, for the extra actions?
-
nice !!!!
jace i was wondering what type of creature he was going to be, and what your inspiration was. now seeing the pic, i giggle evilly to my self between bong hits.
well played sir well played. :clap

sucks don't it :banghead I'm not sure if heroic surge works during 'status effects' I think that would be up to jace
-
yes i tried to look for any thing written that says heroic surge will work or will not work during an action limiting status affect. i didn't find anything that even hints about it so....i got nothin
-
I'd say it should be useable. The status effect limits your regular actions, Heroic Surge grants you an extra action outside of that.
-
also true
-
I'd say it should be useable. The status effect limits your regular actions, Heroic Surge grants you an extra action outside of that.
But the only other action I'd be able to make is a move action, yeah? "unable to attack or do anything else requiring attention or concentration" seems to me like I could take an extra move action, but I'm still shite useless to attack the bastard. And fucking first aid kits only help dazed, stunned, or unconscious, so no stomach settling medicines for me! If only I had some mint or ginger :p...
-
:twitch so that's why my gran offered me ginger the other night..... confused the hell out of me at the time, does that shit really work?
Fantastic Idea with the gas mask though! stroke of genius right there :clap
-
:twitch so that's why my gran offered me ginger the other night..... confused the hell out of me at the time, does that shit really work?

What's weird is that I distinctly remember buying my equipment saying "Ah, gas mask? Well, he's German, who knows? Might come in handy..." and had I not been looking to see if I had some sort of cloth to put over my mouth, I hella would not have remembered I had it in my normal pack! Not even the mule!
And yeah, mint works, I've been told from the same offering source ginger would too, but I've never had the chance... I'd trust grams.....
-
Yeah, ginger totally helps calm down an upset stomach. Surprisingly, even ginger ale has enough to do the trick!
-
I love autofire :D
Now let's hope this oversized sloth doesn't have too much damage reduction and/or fast healing :P
EDIT: Or a great Reflex save and Evasion :lol

I had an awesome plan, then realized that the equipment I want is on my mule! :banghead

we need to draw this thing into Heather's sights, 2d10's worth of damage to the face might deter it somewhat, suppose we could move the gun but that may take a couple of turns... and it looks like Kestral and Pingo might object to a few tonnes of giant sloth in their mouths for those precious few turns

FTFY! :smirk

Jace no round 7 summery?? I know some people got sick others shot at it and at least some of those hit it.
-
I didn't post a round 6 summary, and no one complained. Oh well. what do you get when I make a post at 3-something AM.
I'm off to work now. :)
-
true. I just like how you bring it to life by adding just enough detail to make a vision for us but not so much we have to take a nap mid way through, like Robert Jordan does.
-
lol-- poor blessed Robert Jordan.. May his soul ride of the winds of time for eternity.
Well, if it's any consolation, your shot hit the creature with a resounding ka-blam!
I'll try to dress up the next round a bit more...
Now, to try and finish this cup of coffee while trying to find work clothes...

NO JACE DO NOT SUCCUMB TO THAT BLACK CUP OF PURE CAFFEINATED EVIL!!!

Aww poor Pingo is freaking out. I hope I can get out of the range of that shit stink so Pingo can breathe and get ahold of himself.
-

dude you gotta bail. pingo's got like a bow and a blow gun....but man it would suck trying to get close enough to stab a walking pile of claws and sewage smell....ehww. and that pingo is where your money is, with the stabbins and the cuttins. may the invisible castle ...eh god?? be with you on your next fort save hommie

Thanks bro. He was with me before, he'll rejoin me again. Just gotta keep the faith.

I'm going to be out of town this weekend and likely won't have internet connection. Visiting my fiancee's grandparents that live so far out in BFE it takes 10 minutes to get to the wopping town of 1200 and a half hour to get anywhere larger than that.
-
Heh, I've been out of town this whole weekend too. :D
Oh Flay, my avatar looks JUST LIKE me too, minus the scouter.
But the joint stays, I'm an avid smoker. :p
Okay the scouter actually can stay too, I've always been a DBZ nerd, I want one too.
-
wow Jace you seem to have really bad luck with PCs it's like you're jinxed or something
-
WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Saints are going to their first Super Bowl!!!!
Sorry to hear your computer cooked Jace. I have sent you my email in a PM already. I was a bit busy since we left my fiancee's grandparents' and got home shortly before the game started. Being from cajun country there wasn't any chance in hell i wasn't going to be watching that game.
-
yeah im glad the saints beat the vikings i fucking HATE Bret Favrevererve-asshat :fo (HATE!!!!!)
but i dont think they can beat Manning and the colts. but i hope it is at least entertaining to watch.
-
Oh look, myth-weavers is back up and the prologue isn't over yet. :P
-
Heh.
-
Just in case Jace gets internet again soon, a heads up that i won't be around this weekend. Saints are in the Super Bowl i'm going to be preparing my house for friends and we will all be watching the game Sunday night. This is going to be interesting as my fiancee and one of our good friends are both die hard Colts fans, but i think i can take them ;)
-
i think the colts are going to win. but i am from Pittsburgh so i could care less who wins, i just think its going to be the colts. i just hope the game is exciting, and it should be with two really high scoring offensive teams. but its defense that wins championships and the colts have the saints beat there.
do you think saints fans will destroy their city if the saints win???
if they do then i take back all the nice things i said after the hurricane :smirk
cuz that would just be retarded, the city is just getting its shit in order and to have rabid foot ball fans riot because their team just won (something i just dont understand) their first super bowl.
have fun any way broham
-
Still no new news on the PC situation. Basically, I'm poor and live paycheck to paycheck, and THIS is the worst time of year for hours at work. MAYBE this next paycheck, but maybe not.
Keep the faith, I won't abandon you guys :)
(have to visit using a friend's PC... boo)
-
We won't abandon you either. :bigeye
-
We'll be waiting, good luck :)
-
keep holding on Jace! We believe in you!! :thumb
-
Who Dat!? We Dat!!
It is official Hell has frozen over and the Saints have won the Super Bowl! Mardi Gras has already started and it ain't stopping until Ash Wednesday.
Best of luck getting things sorted out Jace. While I really hope to have the game moving again soon make sure that you take care of real life first, we'll be here waiting.
-
hell has frozen....there is like 2ft of snow here....your welcome SAINTS!!!!
it was a bad ass game too, hope your city stays in one piece my nizzle.... party on!!!!

This was written shortly after the NFC champ game and explains all: (key parts bolded)
Times-Picayune archive by: Susan Poag
Dear Miami,
The Saints are coming. And so are we, their loyal, long-suffering and slightly discombobulated Super Bowl-bound fans.
While there's still time to prepare -- although a few hard-core Who Dats will begin trickling in Monday, most of us won't arrive until Thursday or Friday -- we thought we'd give you a heads-up about what you should expect.
First things first: You need more beer.
Yeah, we know. You ordered extra. You think you have more than any group of humans could possibly consume in one week. Trust us. You don't.
New Orleans was a drinking town long before the Saints drove us to drink. But it turns out beer tastes better when you're winning. (Who knew?) So let's just say we're thirsty for more than a championship; adjust your stockpiles accordingly.
And look. When we ask you for a go-cup, be nice to us. We don't even know what "open container law" means. Is that anything like "last call"?
It's Carnival season in New Orleans (that's Mardi Gras to you), and we'll be taking the celebration on the road. So don't be startled if you walk past us and we throw stuff at you; that's just our way of saying hello.
Oh, and sorry in advance about those beads we leave dangling from your palm trees. We just can't help ourselves.
February is also crawfish season, and you can be sure that more than one enterprising tailgater will figure out a way to transport a couple sacks of live mudbugs and a boiling pot to Miami.
When the dude in the 'Who Dat' T-shirt asks if you want to suck da head and pinch da tail, resist the urge to punch him. He's not propositioning you. He's inviting you to dinner.
And if you see a big Cajun guy who looks exactly like an old Saints quarterback walking around town in a dress ... don't ask. It's a long story.
We know that crowd control is a major concern for any Super Bowl host city. Our advice? Put away the riot gear.
Reason No. 1: Indianapolis is going to lose, and their fans are way too dull to start a riot.
Reason No. 2: New Orleans showed the world on Sunday that we know how to throw a victory party. We don't burn cars. We dance on them.
Reason No. 3: Even if we did lose, which we won't, leaving the stadium would be like leaving a funeral, and our typical response to that is to have a parade.
Speaking of which: If you happen to see a brass band roll by, followed by a line of folks waving their handkerchiefs, you're not supposed to just stand there and watch. As our own Irma Thomas would say, get your backfield in motion.
And hey, Mister DJ! Yes, we know you've already played that stupid Ying Yang Twins song 10 times tonight, but indulge us just one more time.
To us, "Halftime (Stand Up and Get Crunk)" isn't just a song; it's 576 points of good memories. It's the sound of a Drew Brees touchdown pass to Devery Henderson, a Pierre Thomas dive for first down on 4th-and-1, a Garrett Hartley field goal sailing through the uprights in overtime.
It's what a championship sounds like. You may get sick of hearing it. We won't. Encore, dammit.
Inside Sun Life Stadium, you may find your ears ringing more than usual. We're louder than other fans. Seven thousand of ours sound like 70,000 of theirs.
Don't believe us? Ask the 12th man in the Vikings huddle.
Some people think it's just the Dome that heightens our volume. But you're about to discover a little secret: We can scream loud enough to make your head explode, indoors or out.
It's not the roof. It's the heart.
Well, OK, and the beer.
Don't be surprised if there are more Saints fans outside the stadium than inside. A lot of us are coming just to say we were part of history, even if we can't witness it up close. The Saints are family to us, and you know how it is with family: We want to be there for them, whether they really need us or not. Because we know our presence will mean something to them, whether they can see us or not.
Come to think of it, seeing as how you're taking us in for the week, we pretty much regard you as family, too. So we're warning you now: If you're within hugging distance, you're fair game.
Hugging strangers is a proud Who Dat tradition, right up there with crying when we win.
Most sports fans cry when their teams lose. Not us. We've been losing gracefully and with good humor for 43 years. Tragedy and disappointment don't faze us. It's success that makes us go to pieces.
Hurricane Katrina? We got that under control. The Saints in the Super Bowl? SOMEBODY CALL A PARAMEDIC!!!
So anyway, don't let the tears of joy freak you out. We're just ... disoriented.
OK. Let's review:
Order more beer. Throw me something, mister. Suck da heads. Wear da dress. Stand up. Get crunk. Hug it out. Protect your eardrums. Pass the Kleenex. Hoist the trophy.
See you at the victory party.
Faithfully yours,
The Who Dat Nation

And a happy birthday to our friendly neighbourhood GM :)

And a happy birthday to our friendly neighbourhood GM :)
For he's a jolly good fe-elloooooooooooow!.........

I had to resist the mad urge to finish the song.
But it would be true, nobody could deny it.
-
Best of luck not passing out trying to blow out all of those candles Jace. :p
Enjoy the anniversary of your hatching birth. :clap :clap
-
Has anyone heard any word from our fearless leader?
-
I'll try and get in touch with him. Without internet or cellular device he is hard to reach.
-
If you get a hold of him, tell him that I'm moving back to Canada on March 30th!
-
If you get a hold of him, tell him that I'm moving back to Canada on March 30th!
Congrats??

Thanks! :D
Goin' back home to see all my friends who I haven't seen in over two and a half years.
-
Thanks! :D
Goin' back home to see all my friends who I haven't seen in over two and a half years.
Yeah, that is pretty awesome :D
Congrats :)
Hope the wife feels at home as well :)
-
i hope that i can get the money to fix the 'puter by then...
somehow it it doesn't look hopeful. the PC, sadly, isn't the financial priority. We have a huge electric bill thanks to the very cold winter we've had here in FL. we've been forced to pay rent late also. We have to put our ferret to sleep on Thursday because her cancer is spreading and we can't afford surgery.
yeah. fun times.
i have no way of knowing when we can pick this game back up again, but i intend on picking it back up as soon as i can... whenEVER that turns out.
boo... at least in a couple of weeks I might be able to get more hours AND a second job thanks to tourism season approaching.
keep the faith
-
Good luck, Jace, and take care :)
-
Be well Jace, take it easy on yourself. Things always have a way of coming back up.
-
aww Jace I feel for you :( really do :bigeye Hope everything turns around, it has to, Flay is right things always have a habit of turning around.
don't worry We'll keep this place warm for you :)
on another note, happy birthday to me :p
-
Sorry to hear that life is taking it to you right now jace. I really hope something positIve happens for you soon.
Happy b-day tarot!
Personally I'm in shreveport, about 4 hrs from home, because my fiancee's grandfather had a stroke that caused a brain bleed. Things aren't looking good for him, but all we can do is sit and wait. I'm just focusing on keeping her calm since stress at 6 months pregnant isn't good.
-
I always got the faith.
-
Good luck with everything, for everybody having problems.
-
Ugh... Teri & I had to put her ferret to sleep on Thursday morning due to advancing cancer. :( no fun.
I've been gaming with my old Artifact game group. We're playing Hackmaster Basic, which... is actually pretty badass. The battle system is more dynamic, and the downtime per character is low... but when the downtime happens it's bad.
I've been developing the Modern portion of the Artifact during this time-- looks like I'm going to be running it for you AND my tabletop group. They are reprising the same character's that they played in the original artifact. Plus we've added two players for a set of 6 people 1 GM.
INstead of picking it up where we had left off-- I am going to start from the Start of the Main game once again. My revised versions rarely resemble the original campaigns as they had been anyway.
The Party build looks possibly like:
Captain
Pilot/Helmsman
Engineer
Surgeon
Ship "Security"
Historical Expert
Also, I have found the Map of the Modified Fishing Trawler and I am updating it some. Some WHEN I come back online on a regular basis, you will have stuff to look forward to.
-
Sounds like awesome is cooking on the stove! :D
-
Right on, can't wait!
-
A mix of good and bad news, but at least progress is being made!
Sounds like I'll have to take finishing up my character off of the backburner, heh.
-
Sounds like a good deal to me. I didn't want to get eaten by a sloth anyway. :P
edit: Do we have an ETA on the main campaign starting? Obviously Nan needs to finish up his as well as anyone else who isn't done.
-
ohhhh exciting :tantrum.
I feel bad for the ferret it's so tragic when pets have to be put down my heart goes out to you Jace :(
-
We will have to return to the old campaign, obviously; it's like in the movies, where in the beginning flashback you stop mid action scene, go to the present day, come back just before the end of the film or some shit, y'know. Right? :bigeye

even if we don't play through it i would like at least a narrative that explains how it ties in and give us some sort of resolution on it.
-
An FYI, I'm going to be out of the country from the 9th until the 16th. My dad is getting married in South African and I'm his best man. I probably won't have internet access, just in case we pick back up soon.
-
Well have fun Nan. Remember don't try and carjack anyone. (see manswers from spike tv)
-
Jesus Christ I had my laptop stolen from me, but now I'm back. Good to see the crew hanging about.
-
That sucks Ragin. Glad to see you are back though.
-
If/when I get a laptop, I'm so putting a GPS tracker inside!

No, no bombs. Just an angry guy following closely behind with a handheld GPS device.

this is a hilarious image
the man thinking he go away with stealing the mans laptop out of fool's bag no less was feeling rather optimistic about what the rest of the day might hold, it was a nice laptop not quite the greatest thing money could buy but good enough to sell for a couple of hundred if he was lucky. just thinking about that small boost of hard earned cash had him salivating at the possibilities, but something made him feel uneasy... he looked behind him, through the crowd that went about their daily lives, there! Just behind that woman with the stupid hat, that man was looking poison and death straight at him, holding a large device in one hand and making a beeline straight for him pushing the crowd out of his way with impunity, rooted to the spot by the look of pure rage on the mans face, the would be thief was paralyzed with fear, the fire in his eyes, the sheer daunting magnitude of his anger rooting him to the spot. The angry man halted abruptly and raised his right hand in a trembling pointed finger
"YOU!!!!!" he bellowed, the thief promptly wet himself with fear.

:lmao
Yeah, that's more or less what I imagined, too, except for the value of the laptop. I'm gonna get me one of these: Alienware M15x (http://www2.dell.com/ca/en/home/Laptops/alienware-m15x/pd.aspx?refid=alienware-m15x&s=dhs&cs=cadhs1)
-
It would actually be a good idea. Besides myself, several of my friends have remarked that they too have had laptops stolen from them. Easy to carry and hide, and worth lots of money, they seem to be a hot item for thieves.
P.S. My buddy saw the fool driving and wrote down his license plate number. I'm either gonna fuck this guy with the long arm of the law or if they won't/can't help me I'll take matters into my own hands. Me and my buddies had curb stomping in mind. That laptop was worth almost 2400 dollars and had priceless amounts of info on it, IE my writings, a copy of my novel in progress, pictures, videos. When I find this nigga I'm gonna commit a hate crime. I'm gonna go Old Testament style on his ass. He'll never steal shit again after I'm done with him.
-
just checking in again. Anyone hear any update from Jace?
-
Nope, he's still offline. :(
-
Unfortunately. Hard times sir. But the summer is upon us. And hopefully our hours will go up. I need it bad too.
In the mean time guys, I am seriously thinking about running an online campaign. Something real simple. Like 3.5 core rulebook and a couple other books. It's a campaign I wrote and I've run it table top before. I can't draw like Jace but I do have a program that I use to make very, very simple grid type online maps. Would anyone be interested before I post this in the other forums?
-
Count me in. I was in the original group.

I'm always down, though I may need to trim the text on my signature if I join too many more games, lol. Hit me up if you need more players, it'd be sweet!
-
I might be interested. I would love to hear the pitch for it. Currently in almost as many games as Flay so i should have a busy play schedule, sadly it isn't as busy as i had hoped.
Also what program do you use for your maps
-
By the way, J0lt, you do realise you and the mrs. picked the perfect time to head back to Canada, right?
I mean, with Iron Maiden's new tour coming up and all that ;)
Bastard :P

Too bad...
Ow well, they'll most likely be back next year for a proper world tour :)
-
I already saw them back in 2001 on the Brave New World Tour, which was the reason I really got into them.
-
I think it's Lior's Map Creator. I don't know... I lost it lol, but I'll find it again.
Well I'll definitely let you guys know if I start getting stuff together and doing it. I'm thinking it'd be a good way to keep up with some old friends of mine who have moved away and I used to game with.
-

You're saying that like you only need to see them once in your entire life :P
-
still no jace :bigeye
so i started running the artifact campaign...again for a sunday night group. so far so good, i didnt do the prologue yet, i usually do it as a flash back style prologue thingy...(im sure there is a fancy film or writing term for that).
last time it started post apocalypse (their pick) with this new group i started with the adventure in the back of the dark matter book. and then on to a zombie/demon possessed small town adventure. but we have only a short window of play on sunday evenings till midnight and one guy leaves at 10 to catch a bus....plus there is a lot of extra curricular chemical/herbal enhancement of our group, so sometimes its slow going.
well peace out home skillets, ill keep lookin in on yall.
also any one got a good easy to use map maker program??
-
I talked to Jace. The internet should be up and running hopefully soon. He's got to get some comp repairs done too I guess.
And yeah it's called Lior's Map Maker. It's super easy and shitty.
-
My girl has an lphone clone, so ican visit, but typing this wa thy is slow. crossing fingers on pc repair. Hopefully real soon. Have lots to report.
-
Just glad to see your still out there Jace. Did they ever say what was wrong with your PC?
-
Initially speaking, an electrical storm bypassed the surge protector and the pc itself ceased to power on anymore. There is this green light, near the plug socket on the back of the tower, that flickers on and off. Fitfully at best.
2 likely issues can be at play; power adapter is shot, and/or something internal is fried.
-
Now here is a serious question.
I could still run the game but at a decreased capability since typing takes forever.
How do you feel about dropping out of combat to continue the game? This could allow the game to continue while I get my pc sorted out.
"And suddenly, the great beast fell dead."
-

I was under the impression that you had planned to drop the battle and jump us to the modern portion of the game anyway. I'm fine with either choice on your part.
oh and with the power light on the PSU flickering it sounds like that is what got taken out. It still could have damage to the motherboard and other components, but the PSU is definitely toast.
-
Nope. Stil pl anon finishing The Prolog ue. There is no modern era without these prior events.
Only ever started talking about the main game because you guys just wouldn't drop the issue.
Still have a lot of prologue to finish.
-
Good, 'cause I wanna see the huge ruins!

Ah i was under the understanding you were going to beat us with the chain in your avatar if we refused ;) wave a magic hand and tell us what happened.
-
I'm sorry guys, but personal issues have taken a turn for the worse during the last couple of days, so I'm afraid I won't be able to participate for the time being. I'll be back eventually though, hopefully within 2 weeks time.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Bowen

Real life comes first. Take care of yourself Bowen.
Just as a heads up. My first child is due at the beginning of next month, so there is a fair chance i'll be incoherent due to sleep deprivation. I doubt there will be much of a drop off in my participation since i do most of my posting from work anyway.
-
Thanks, and I hope you and the mrs. have a healthy child :)

I will require input from everyone.
-
As long as it is dead because I shot it. :P
-
As long as the game continues, I don't mind skipping the rest of this combat.
-
I'd kinda prefer if it escaped to get killed another time, so the legend could live on... unless it's plot crucial...
-
I'd like to finish everything period.
But I guess that may be too much to ask at the moment. It doesn't matter to me then. I'll vote on what Flay said, there.
-
personally I would quite like to blast the lil'bastard till it falls down, but to be honest if it would make things easier on our poor stressed GM then go ahead and skip it.
-
My pc is on my pc tech buddy's work bench atm. In other news, Ronin and Heavyarms are setting an ambush for my players in my sunday tabletop isle noir. Hopefully a low speed golf cart chase. Hilarity.
-
ohh an ambush, I feel for them I truly do. how is life for all you lovely fellows? glad we're back up and running, I was getting bored with my normal life :p there are only so many push ups a guy can do you know.
in other news, I'm relaxing with a nice new D&D campaign, it's been a long time since i've DMed anything not D20 so playing D&D is sort of refreshing you know
-
I'm back in Canada, but the job market here is flooded with applicants, and possibly replicants (you can never quite be sure). The Olympics are over, so everyone who had a temp job from that is looking for work, plus school is just finishing up, so we have all the students out there too. Hopefully I'll get something soon though.
-

Hahaha, grenade launcher-revolver is win for this!
Hope you get some work man; here in SF, friends of mine have been months now, and there's just nothing. Makes you wonder...
-
Here's the set up:
Heavy and Ronin; awaiting the two Brazilians have set up an ambush in the front car of a subway.
The pcs will enter the last car, make their way fore. H&R will have an IED that will detonate at the rear of the party and then H&R will open fire from behind cover in front of the party.
H&R will disengage as soon as they see that they 2 are facing 8 pcs.
They will drop a smoke grenade in the players path,and escaPe out the front hatch. Where R&H's golf cart is awaiting.
H is the driver and R will have to shoot. H can try to use the g launcher,but is at minuses for driving.
Hot Pursuit rules are in use... As well as the On Foot expansion. The cart is faster than those onfoot, but not too fast.
Should be a good chase encounter.
-
That scene is so amusing i could see it on Rush Hour 15 when it comes out. :lmao
-
I'm going to be seeing that image for days
-
Tarot what Edition are you playing?
-
let's put it this way, D&D ended at 3.5th ed there is nothing past 3.5 NOTHING :mad
2nd ed is fun though never played 1st or AD&D
-
let's put it this way, D&D ended at 3.5th ed there is nothing past 3.5 NOTHING :mad
Sure there is! It's called Pathfinder! ;)

Ha ha I hate 4E too.

ya know i started out with a disdain filled open mind when 4th ed came out, and after playing three different games of 4th ed (3 different gms) i am going to say it is most deffinatly not 3.5..... :bigeye oh how i miss you...
but if you ever want to sit around with a table with your friends and get toasty and do something a little bit (not much at all) more in depth than munchkin the card game, then 4th ed is ok.
d&d for kids and/or dummies
-

Apparently the new D&D Minis rules are so similar to 4e that there's almost no distinction between the minis game and "RPG".
I gave 4e two chances, and both times some unnecessarily changed game mechanic and/or fluff made me want to bash my head on the table. I'll stick with the 3.5/Pathfinder/d20M/SWSE, thanks.
-
Just an FYI my fiancee is almost at 4cm dilation so she will be going into labor any time now. If she hasn't begun labor by Monday they will be inducing her. So needless to say i may be a bit slow in posting and probably incoherent due to sleep deprivation.
-
Wow baby! J0lt just got a job and my computer just got fixed! Have not the internet on it, but I should be back this weekend at full capacity.
-
I'll be able to respond some but will be busy with baby stuff a lot of the time.
-
Congratulations. No one blames you, kids are a shit ton of work.
-
Congratulations. No one blames you, kids are a shit ton of work.
yup they sure are...thats why i threw mine in the sarlac pitt...thats the best way to teach children the important life lessons.
-
BABIES EVERYWHERE!!!!
-
FOUR HUNDRED BABIES! :smirk
-
Honey, I'm home :)
So, what did I miss, guys?
-
Pingo is waiting on medical assistance and the other players are debating whether or not El Ableuo was a bear. A very nasty smelling, odd looking bear I suppose.
-
Don't forget archangel's baby, jolts newfound employment, and the fact that my pc is alive and well. I just don't have the internet yet.
The game itself should be running at full capacity certainly by the end of the month.
Oh, and your isle noir pcs are harrowing my current home group's ie unit.
Both Ronin and Heavyarms have made quite the impression without losing a single up.
I'd like to get you guys involved in how your player character turned npc operates.
So there.
-
well things are looking up. I've been posting updates in a thread on another forum (http://www.octopusoverlords.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=73634&p=1564404#p1564404) that i'm a mod on. Looks like my baby girl will be able to come home Saturday if all goes as planned. She will still need surgery but not right now.
-
Surgery? That blow's man.
-
And we are home finally, well actually i'm at work and mom & baby are home. Did i miss anything of importance?
-
No. I have no idea what's going on.
-
I'd like to get you guys involved in how your player character turned npc operates.
So there.
If Dove is still alive be sure to give them hell for me :lmao Otherwise I would like to know how she met her end. :)

Bad Karma is still alive. They just abandoned a structure the pcs were heading towards. I'll keep them alive as long as I can.
Awaiting my tax refund.supposed to be here by weeks end. Then ill be online again. And no more of this phone internet nonsense.
-
Just to make sure, when do we start with the new characters? I'm starting to get up to speed with PbPs again, so I'd like to know when the definitive version of Sam Axe needs to be done :)
-
Just an FYI, I'm going to be out of town from the 3rd to the 15th, but I'll have internet during most of that.
-
Modern pcs will begin when the prologue ends.
-
I'll likely be out of contact again for a while. Baby went back into the hospital today after her regular cardiologist appointment. Looks like she will need to be on heart meds until her first big surgery and will need a feeding tube put in to get her up to weight for that surgery. We will find out whether of not we are heading back to New Orleans by tomorrow afternoon.
-
I'll say a prayer. We'll see what happens, God's been in the miracle working business on my side.
-
Luck and happiness be with you.
-
Well i'm finishing up the last packing for us to go to New Orleans today as they will be performing both heart surgery and inserting a feeding tube. They sent their transport helo to pick up our daughter at about 8 am so they should be here soon. Once she is off we will be following suit and driving there. I'll have internet and likely need the distraction once in the Ronald McDonald house over there so i'll try and post then.
-
Good luck and best of health to your baby girl :)
-
And my apologies for the additional delay, I needed some extra time to set some things straight in my life :embarrassed
-
Well gents it looks like you local guide is in need of your doctor.
You can say that again. Is jolt dead or something?
-
No, I'm just in a similar situation to Jace: no internet. Should have it up in a week or two. I have to check in from the library for the time being.
-
Any news here guys? Just wondering if Jace and J0lt got the net back. I've been pretty able to keep up on everything aside from the weekends in New Orleans, and even then i probably check once a day.
-
I'll be back online tomorrow! :)
With a new (built from scrap) computer, too! :D
-
Yay!
Wait, 1HP? Oh GOD DAMN YOU JOLT!
lol
-
Correction, I'll be back online by Thursday as my ISP forgot to send my modem. :banghead
-
Yeah, my roomie's wedding happened at a surprisingly close time to my internet blowing up. Literally, the thing just fucking smoked and burned. So I haven't had internet since... well, probably since the last time I posted. Also, getting it elsewhere is a pain, since I only have a desktop.
Sorry! Have the replacement machine, now just need to pay my monthly internet bill. :P Should be on in a day or so, feel free to auto my rolls when needed, or just assume I'm doing some shadowy, shifty shit

I know. Jeez, really didn't think of how many RP's I was in.
And yeah, some it was legit, others it just got people to check the threads again. :P
-
Okay, everybody can relax, I'm here... :lol
-
:clap
-
just checking in. I'm still hanging around and checking in on this game, i'm really looking forward to this getting going again as we had a good pace before.
-
Same.
-
Anyone heard from Jace recently?
-
He just posted in the news board.
Speaking of which: good luck Jace, and take care.
-
We are keeping the game going. I've got the game thread subscribed so i'll get an email if I haven't checked and someone posts.
-
I live a town away from Jace, I can sympathize. The oil is killing us, my hours just got cut in half.
It's quite depressing.
Pingo, take a free additional 3 HPs of healing as I am feeling benevolent, atm.
wuuuuv you
Jace, do you mean a single patch of fur, like hairs ripped from a creature's fur hanging on a branch or something; or a patch of fur, like we see a glimpse of an actual creature? I'm sorry, but it's not quite clear to me right now.
I believe we're getting another teammate if I'm not mistaken. This Melblen fellow?
-
He's playing a wookie? :P
-
uh.... haven't been around here for a while. how's things? Jace got thing running smoothly yet?
-
Had my own internet problems for the past week. Was kicking around a character idea for playing, but was waiting for Jace to approve it.
-
Just a quick FYI, I'll be without a PC for a couple of days starting tomorrow (hopefully I'll have it back before the weekend, but I can't promise anything).
-
what the hell is going on?
-
Not sure, I check practically every day for anything new. I could post a further reaction from Mal's response. Maybe that will get folks going again. I will get a post up this evening after I get home from work. Unfortunately we can only go for so long without some GM guidance, so we'll need to stretch out the flavor conversations as long as possible until he can come back.
-
I'm hanging around checking when I'm at work and sometimes on the weekend. I'm still in New Orleans every weekend with my little girl, and i'll be here extra this weekend since she is having another surgery tuesday.
-
Talked to Jace today, he should be back online in a short while. :D
-
Seriously, my belt feeder? I have a single bolt action rifle. :P
Also, yay for the game not being dead!
-
I was talking about the machine gun on the tripod. Mal has no idea who it belongs to so he used your in the context of your group.
I wouldn't declare the game living until someone besides us posts though, don't want to jinx it.
-
It's limping around. :P
-
It's limping around. :P
Still could be a zombie :devil
-
It's limping around. :P

So the game is undead. That's good enough for me. :D
-
Sweet, we are back up I see. I will start posting again this evening. On a business trip atm, but I have internet at the hotel.
-
jace, I'm curious. How tall is the tallest tree in the area?
-
jace, I'm curious. How tall is the tallest tree in the area?
About 60 to 80 feet I'd say.
-
Any trees located in the central area that look like they would make a good sniper's nest? I'll roll something if required.

Ouch.
-
So, is that it? No responses beyond that of Nanshork?
Are you guys ready for me to move the story along?
Also, who of you do we still have playing?
-
I'm still here. Ready to move forward, though I won't be at a PC most of the day today.
-
I'm still here, obviously. :p
-
I'm here, just began a new job not too long ago been working some pretty long days and our office space isn't fully ready yet so I am often without internet access. If you're fully ready to keep moving we don't have to play through all the burying the dead stuff.
-
Waiting to see who else we still got.
The Bowens and the Jolts and the rest.
I find out who we still got, then we'll get a move on with our current set.
-
Most have been on within the past day or so with the exception of ragin and Tarot. Might be good to drop everyone a PM so we can get back to it again. If your still working off a phone I can certainly send the PM if you want.
-
Dude, I don't think a single person's gonna drop from this game. We love it too much, and it's a helluva cliffhanger.
By the by, I'm here. I must've gone out for smokes or something...
-
Jace i think you need to accept that this storyline is one hell of a hook and these players aren't going anywhere. I just looked back and your computed died at the end of January. It has been about 8 months and we are still here ready to go, just for the prologue too. I'm actually bookmarking this on my phone so i can check in when i'm away from my pc.

Yeah, still on the phone net. That longish post I made took almost an hour to compose.
Please send out pm on my behalf. Once or twice a week is what I'm attempting.
Thanks, every one for sticking with me. :)
-
PM sent. I looked up everyone playing to see if they have been on recently and haven't posted and who hasn't been on in a little while and sent those folks a PM. Hopefully they see it and we can start to ramp up the posting again.
-
My dear gentlemen and good scholars...
Sorry I literally picked up my stuff and moved to Colorado without a notice. I myself was even surprised by my own spontaneity, but I'm still here and if we're playing again, count me in.
-
Colorado is awesome, hope you enjoy it :)
-

Wait... where did you move from? What was the Colorado motivation?
-
I moved from Florida. The motivation was Florida sucked and I'd never been to Colorado.
-
You know what else sucks? I broke my arm on Tuesday!
Never broke a bone before, and I kinda expected it to be more painful. The weird thing is, it's not the pain, it's the way a broken bone kinda stops your arm from working the way you want it.
-
Ouch, that sucks man, sorry. Hope you at least came out of it with a good story about how it happened. Yeah broken bones don't hurt a lot, I just hate that initial sick feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you do break something, you body's way of telling you "What the hell man!".
-
Damn Jolt, that sucks man. I've had the good fortune to not break anything so far but it just goes to show you that shit can happen any time. Hope it heals well and strong. My cousin fucked up his arm really bad a long time ago but it causes no problems now, he's strong as an ox.
-
Flay, you put your rolls in a spoiler, remember Jace can't open the spoilers on the phone.
-
It's been nearly a week since I broke it, and I've got most functionality back, aside from heavy lifting. I've never had an injury before that healed at such a rapid rate that it was noticeable every couple hours!
-
Yeeah, bones can start to heal pretty fast, when I broke ones of the bones in my hand they had to re-break it to set it right.
-
Rebreak? Ouch.
-
Yeah, that requires going into surgery and a possible hospital stay. My friend had that happen with his leg.
I was lucky that it broke so cleanly that it took the x-ray tech about 10 seconds to spot the break. it was still perfectly straight and everything.
-
I'll be posting soon. I haven't had enough time with my girlfriends phone to compose the next portion.
Hopefully soon. :)
-
I need to publish my book soon and buy Jace a laptop for Christmas.
-
Anyone hear anything on Jace recently? Past couple weeks of studying for a couple certification exams have kept me super busy so I haven't been on a few days. Been going through gaming withdrawls. If my regular gaming group doesn't get back together soon I may have to start a PbP game here to sate my gaming need.
-
Yeah, he texted me just last night. His phone service (and thus access to the internet) has been down for a bit. The text message tells me it's back on, so hopefully we'll hear from him soon.
-
Hope the holiday was a good one for those celebrating it. I am still stuffed from the meal yesterday :).
Any more word from Jace?
-
He's still without internet, but doing okay.
-
Hope everyone is enjoying a Happy Holidays and will have a very prosperous New Year :cheers.
-
I send similar wishes your way.
-
Been a while, anyone heard anything further from Jace? How is everyone else doing out there?
-
Eisen's polishing up his knife, and is very calm. :D
I've got some living-space drama, but am otherwise okay. Hope everyone is doing well, and that Jace hasn't forgotten us.
-
Still here...starting running my own game though lol, but still waiting for this one.
-
I check in from time to time to see if anything is happening in this game. I really want it to get going again but am loosing faith in that.
Personally I'm dealing with my daughter's heart surgery #2 and Mardi Gras in New Orleans (where the hospital is). It is going good right now everything looks good and she is the only one on the schedule for surgery Thursday, it is a long one 6-8 hrs, but she should be able to go out in public after this one. That one thing is enough to make me a bit excited about this surgery.
-
Tha'ts great to hear, I shall send my positive energies that way during meditation.
-
That's good news Arch. Look forward to hearing more after Thursday then.
-
Baby girl's surgery went great. She is sedated and intubated but overall doing good.
-
Fantastic. Congrats.
-
Awesome news! Congratz!
-
Man I miss this game and the Isle Noir one. The latter a bit more since I was in that one longer. Before he went off the grid, I was talking to Jace about info on his Black Island game to run for one of my groups later. Finally have a small side game I will be running soon and was just looking through that thread to take notes. We had some pretty darn good RP'ing going on there.
-
Hey friends!
I'm at the public library using the interwebs.
My financial situation is still horrible. I live at the poverty level basically, but what does one expect when one works a single part-time job which doesn't pay enough to let one fix his car so one can better ones self. I'm not crying about. It is what it is. :rollseyes
Have you all been well in the... forever since I last was here?
I've been runnng my tabletop Black Isle game at home on Sunday nights. 8 players squeezed into my living room. It gets really hot sometimes. ;)
We're like 20 sessions into the campaign. Team Blackout has been put through the proverbial wringer as per my GMing style. We've been in the middle of a boss fight in the depths of The Blender Lab for the past 3 sessions.
When you have 8 to 9 players, each round takes roughly 15 minutes to complete in real time. It's ridiculous. :pout
So I miss you guys, and I miss running The Artifact. I almost was able to buy myself a little Netbook this tax season, but then catastrophy struck once again and that money had to go elsewhere. my only real saving grace is that we have a roomie living with us since August of last year, and that certainly gives some relief on the bills.
Anyway guys, I'm going to read up on the posts that I've been missing -- I can't at this time do too much game-wise...(the library computer timer is steadily decreasing on me.)
I hope to be back real soon, but I'm past the point of making timetable declarations... I'll be back when I am, sadly. I'll gladly pick up where we all left off with any of you who are still in tow. :D
Thank you guys.
-
IT LIVES!!!! Sort of.
I think the most of us are just suspended in sleep-mode for this, ready to be awoken. Not that we're fuckin' epic, or anything. :p Hope things turn up brighter in the near future Jace (I feel you on that poverty line shit, fuuuuck).
-
Poor Jace. You know I love you man. Sell some of that artwork, Maggie says hello and we both agree you super fucking talented. Good luck man.
-
I'm around, haven't been posting status updates about my life due to the status of this game.
I moved in with family in a different state as of Tuesday, have irregular intenet as well, and no job or prospects. I'm also running out of money, woohoo. I'm still in for the game though.
-
Sorry to hear about all the hardships everyone is feeling at the moment. My heart truly goes out to you all. Took my wife and I over 3 years to get back on our feet again. We are finally starting to get back to a financial point where we were at a just after we were married.
On a good note, my second daughter was just born on the 10th. So I said goodbye to sleep again for a while.
I agree with ragin, Jace, I have seen some of your work in various places online and I think you would do really well selling some of it.
You touched on how our black isle characters were faring in your table game. Do we still live? The smaller game I am running your Black Isle, only I started them a few months prior to it with short prequel dealing with the Angle Light's inventor first to find out what company he sold it to. They ran into a rival team performing a similar function and the ensuing chase sequence and gun fight was really fun. They barely escaped Canada with the information were looking for.
-
I will have a post up in the prologue soon, busy at work and dead tired when I get home.
-
so.....anything going on around here???? is everyone still alive?????
-
Game is mostly dormant. Not sure what is going to happen with it. But yes for the most part we are still alive. ;)
-
Jace hasn't been on since March though.
-
So yeah, we all seem fairly loyal to the game, but until we know what's happening with Jace, we can't say much about the game.
I did get overly excited when I saw the sub-board highlighted though...
-

I did too, don't worry.
-
We're all still here, playing other games or running them on BG, I know I am. I knew Jace pretty well for about two years when I lived in Fl and he doesn't quit on dedicated players. He must still be in financial trouble. For a while he didn't even have a phone but I'll try to call his old number sometime (or his best friend's number) and see if he's at least back on the grid in some way. Maybe I can get a time reference for how long he'll be away. At least then we can count down to his return :)
-
Still here as well and hoping Jace makes it back on his feet and back here eventually (hopefully sooner than later).
-
Is this working? Damn 1.0 Mbps connection...
-
So yeah. I'm nearly back online. I'll keep ya posted!
-
I am so happy! My WiFi signal has improved overnight. Maybe my neighbor changed his routers position or something.
I have a tabletop game to run today. People are coming over about 3 to 4PM and we'll play through till aroun 10:30 or 11PM.
The campaign setting is an old favorite of mine; Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time. Tonight my players enter... The Ways to fight a Myrdraal and some Trollocs to save a kidnapped Wilder from the clutches of The Dark One.
-
YAY!!! :clap Welcome back Jace!
-
It lives! Ironically I just started playing a Wheel of time game Saturday.
Glad to see you back Jace.
-
Welcome back! :D
-
HOLY SHIT, YOU'RE ALIVE! Hey boss, I'm watching some Inglourious Basterds now to get back in character. This has made me wicked happy! Good to have you back Jace! I was just thinking about Isle Noir the other day...
-
I'm GLAD to BE back. Trust me.
The thing that amazes me the most as how The Artifact has stayed within the Active Games section. Thanx guys for keeping it alive... without your fearless GM, ;P
Isle Noir-- we played that campaign regularly in my living room for close to a year with a few short breaks, It's on hiatus while we are playing The Wheel of Time, because of the availability of some core players, but I think that we may get back to finishing that campaign.
I have to sit down and think about what happened to each of your PCs that I used as NPCs within my home game. I think Dove may be dead... killed by the mutated denizens of the Blender Tribe (Sorry) and staked to a wall alongside other random operatives (trophies). Heavyarms, and Ronin are still alive, the PCs bumped into them briefly while they were all in custody of the Blender Tribe. Heavy and Ronin escaped when the PCs did, but since they have their own (identical) mission to accomplish, they took off on their own to find the rest of their team. Cross is alive somewhere, as is Greasemonkey.
It's been a while, so I'll have to give you guys a right proper updating on that whole scenario... sometime.
-
Has anyone seen J0lt about lately?
-
Has anyone seen J0lt about lately?
Forums says he hasn't been on since June 25 and hasn't posted since March.
-
March? Damn it's been a second.
-
Has anyone seen J0lt about lately?
Nope ;)
-
Just got word that Jace is getting his internet back on Tuesday, and will be away until then. :thumb
-
Welcome back as well.
-
Thanks, it's been a while! What's new with everybody here?
-
Just got word that Jace is getting his internet back on Tuesday, and will be away until then. :thumb
I'm back, bitches! Real internet.
I'll have something posted in a day or two.

Fuckin' al-right!
If I'm not mistaken, and I don't believe I am, this was the first campaign I joined on BG. Kinda funny to think of how long ago this started, and how many games I've been in for a hot moment since.
-
I'm serving up the feast course by course, and I guess the idea is that you would post your character's reactions to the courses.
-
FEAST!
-
Good morning all. It's Saturday morning as I type this, and I am actually off for two days back to back!
I've gone back to making subs with a place called Lenny's Sub . Lenny's is just over a mile away from my home, so I don't have to worry much about transportation. I grew tired of constantly being raped anally by Michael's arts & crafts.
So anyway, I'll be around this weekend, looking in on things. Little by little I'll have this game somewhat where we need to be, and I intend to update NPC avatars and there are some new maps that need to be addressed.
-
Whooo, weekend! I'm gonna be heading downtown today to participate in the Vancouver Zombie Walk!
BRRRAAIIIIINNNSSS!
-
Great news Jace. I wish I could come visit and get a sub from you.
Jolt...I'm jealous...
-
I am still here. Life isn't being so kind at the moment. Mal is just going with the flow for the most part.
-

It isn't too bad. The little woman is having 3 wisdom teeth removed because they have been an issue since she was pregnant, I was probably on the verge or getting fired for not following a manual that I'd never been told about, and even though I'm still employed right now we are all pretty sure they are closing the office here and will move everything to Houston (without any of us) but management won't tell anyone anything. Fortunately I at least have things set up so that I'll get paid for a few months after the company I'm working for terminates my contract, so I'll have time to look for something new. The kid is doing great though. We visited a friend who's daughter is 6 weeks younger and despite the fact that she could probably eat Karleigh she was way less developed, so it gives us perspective on how well Karleigh is actually doing.
-
I'm glad to hear about your child, Arc. I'm sorry to hear about the other BS though. I'm sure you'll land on your feet.
-
Yeah good luck.
-
Be certain to add your Listen ranks also! The roll is 1d20+10+ Listen Ranks.
Thanks but I still failed...you're original post said +8 for my close proximity but Pingo's listen is only +2 so it was a d20+10 total.
...I rolled a six for a sixteen and the DC was 20. You probably set that one up for me to pass and I still failed. Fml
-
My house has probably burned down, I made a thread in BLYHT with what's going on.
-
has probably? WTF dude, everything okay?
-

It's awful Nanshork. I've been watching those fires on the news. Horrible. I'm terribly sorry, my friend.
-
has probably? WTF dude, everything okay?
There is no damage assessment and I'm not allowed into the area to find out.
Thanks for the support.
-
General note, moving tomorrow, wont have a computer til thursday or friday, so roll for me!
-
Good luck Nanshork. I hope and pray you return to find everything in good condition.
See you soon Flay, hope you like you're new place.
-
you guys started back up again, then what happened? everyone still alive out there?
-
I think its somewhat pausing at the moment with Arch zombified at the moment and the cruddy fires in Central Texas putting Nanshork out of commission.
Jace, I am kind of confused here. Who is Peter the Shaman directing his comments to? The party or just the people addressing him?
-
The Party members. Sprry I hadn't made that more clear.
-
I am here. Daughter is home from the hospital, but today was a busy morning at work so I'm just now getting to check any forums or personal mail.
-
Hey Guys,
I'm just checking to see who is all currently active in this game. It's been a few days since my last post. I'm just curious. I know we all have a lot of shit going on-- you'll notice you're not getting those (you haven't posted in two days) messages, but I'm looking to see who we still have, and who's going forward.
IN GAME there is an NPC who has been brought to the group in response to the fact that members of the group wanted to question him--
-
I'm here but Mal is letting the others take the lead.
-
Yeah, I have been slacking sorry. Work has been taking up a majority of my time lately. I will get apostin.
-
I'm around but I'm not sure how much longer I'll have all of this free time. I also no longer have any of my books/resources. I've been avoiding getting back into any games, but I'm not sure how much longer that will last.
-
I'm always around.
-
I'm the brooding silent type! :)
-

I can understand that completely. How much of your area was burned? What are you doing now?
-
There is a thread about it here (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=12960.0). Long story short my house and car are completely gone. I'm living in the living room of an apartment that three of my friends are renting. A family friend gave me a laptop so I have a computer again, and the apartment complex has free (but slow) wifi. So slow that when I want to try and download one of the games that I bought from Steam or its ilk I have to go to someplace like Starbucks.
I'm currently on the lookout for a car and a job (I've been unemployed since December). I'm doing okay financially, FEMA and my car insurance took care of me.
-
So are we to go after the chief's son, or continue with our mission? Or is the side trek just an idea to get the non-returning party members split off so we can continue with the game?
What's the plan for Richard if Nanshork isn't able to play him? I could take over playing him with your blessing Nan and just leave Rose in this village or to go off in search of the boy if the latter is the reason for the side trek.
-
If you want me to keep playing Richard I can. Things have settled down enough that I can start trying to get back into things. Just remember that I don't have any books and can't level him when the time comes. :)
-

I would love to have you on board still. Anything you need me to help with pertaining to your character, just let me know! :)

Will do. :D
-
We going after the kid in the underworld? If we are all down lets get to it. Seems we all need a kick in the pants to get the game going again.
-
I say we are; most of us are more "good" than others, but I think the group is good to go for it.
-
Agreed.
