Random chatter while I get my head on.

In reply to Kain (msg #1):

You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to this.

In reply to Exwrestler (msg #2):

i am also excited about this. ive been wantin 2 play remarkable for a few years now.

In reply to Exwrestler (msg #2):

anybody got any ideas on characters?

Well let's see.. how a ..

Mutant Chincilla with the ability to read Keats at 100 yards?

<pay no mind to the silly GM>

An trust me.. I can get silly.. :D

Welcome Coley, and Alex has sent me along your idea for Nighthawk.

I like the idea.

Power levels are set for the game (PL8) and might change if I feel that it's not
the 'right' level for the flow I'm envisioning.

Looking forward to the Game.  Good thing about starting out at PL 8 is it's allot easier to go up in PL than down.  With Nighthawk I wanted to start him out with slightly to highly modified conventional weaponry. As/If we progress in PL down the line I may justify that as him incorporating more experimental/new tech.

'Borrowed' from badguys huh? ;D

In reply to Kain (msg #8):

Not if they stole it from some Myth Foundation Lab.  That stuff is second rate junk. :)

Don't worry, despite the occult overtones of the prelude..which I hope you guys enjoyed (Alex told me it creeped him out) there is a big tech thread building in my campaign story line.

I won't lie and say I'm not using the PCs that Alex asked me to build cause I am. :D

I most likely would never get to play them as PCs..so I'm using them as background color as well as some stuff from the stories I posted.

Yoeman's name has be fixed.. it is now Yeoman. carry on..

and remember..

In reply to Volt (msg #13):

My characters done. :p

And just how many games, back-stories, costumes and characters are you working on right now? ;)

So, we got a start date yet or are we still in a holding pattern?

Waiting on the  PC and some basic  back stories so i can see how the player will meet up at the beginng

Okay, I have all but one character done.

If you want to look at your character, there is a spot up in the left hand corner titled 'Character Details', click on that and it will bring up the page with your character sheet on it. Feel free to clean up your sheets but please be careful when
doing changes in the future (after we get the xp started)

Okay..

First game post is up..

Alec, Yo!Man!, Remarkable and Volt are inside the theater and Nighthawk is flying 'patrol' outside.

A few of you have private messages at the end of the post, use the dice roller (upper left corner) and be warned the dice are very.. quirky.

So, I might (depending on how much dicebot hates a player) reroll some rolls in RL if I feel chance isn't being nice enough. That is not the same as saving the players.. I just think dicebot on RPOL hates me and others..

Still feel free to 'flesh out' a bit at first.. not dropping everyone into the melee right off. (except Nighthawk..maybe)

Did Alec and Nighthawk see the Private Messages (PMs) at the end of my post?

Just wondering cause neither player gave me rolls. :D

I didn't see it.  This is my first play by post so maybe I didn't look in the right place.  Where is it?

Sorry.  I just noticed it.  Nevermind the previous message.

Relax guys.. I"m assuming that this is your (except for Alex aka Yo!man) this is your first pbp and I'm taking it slow.

You got questions...

Ask...

You don't understand something in my post (and my grammar/syntax is a bit quirky at times..)

Ask.

I want this to be fun and something that encourages you guys to try more. So, take your time, if you feel your posts aren't up to speed.. edit. Let your hair down and try to have fun (fyi Remarkable.. I liked the milk on the rocks comment.)

So did I do the dice roller right?

Yeah you did good. It's not always nice with folks. So be patient..

Example.. in one of the Eberron games I played.. my character rolled nothing like a 4 for something like 6 straight rolls. 2 1's in there too!

In reply to Kain (msg #25):

I had rolled, do we need to place the results in a post?  Or do you just look at the dice roller page?

10:50, Today: Nighthawk rolled 27 using 1d20+9. Notice.

Now that is an example of my making a mistake.. I should have commented on that earlier.

When you do an action or I ask a roll at the end of your post put something like

OOC: <Dice Roll, action, spending HP, ect>

In reply to Kain (msg #27):

np I did an edit to my last post and added the Dice Roll.


Hey does anyone know if/how you can have email allerts sent out when a new post is made in a thread?
This message was last edited by the player at 18:34, Mon 13 July 2009.

By the way, I finally decided on the name Mage for my character.

In reply to Alec Archer (msg #29):

A heads up I'll be out of town and most likely without internet access from July 18th to July 25th.  Kain if you need to NPC Nighthawk during that time feel free to.

Mosh pit in a rehabbed theater? Not that type of place Remarkable. :D

In reply to Kain (msg #31):

sry. i keep getting confused about the set up. thats why i was at the bar earlier.

No worries.. I know I'm a bit.. brief in the layout of the place (my mapping program go blammo an I gots no way to convince the vendor to give me another one)

Most people know this but I'll post anyway.  I am getting married tomorrow so for the next week I probably won't have too many chances to post.  I'm not sure how it'll work but if someone else could play my character I would appreciate it.

No worries.. and somone big pointed out I forgot to ask for init. (DOH!, you guys got to be a 15 for the doggies)

My apologies for the delays guys. I've been trying to get everything set up for my move to Jax and I have spent most of the last 5 days rebuilding paperwork that they lost for my clearence.

I THOUGHT I kept copies of it all but can't find it.

Hopefully I will be doing better when I get to Jax and get started on the job. :D

No prob. It's understandable... and hey, don't forget that some of us up here have a lot of free time and are always up for a huntin' trip. ;)

Again I apologize guys.. it's been a REALLY hectic few weeks..and the crap I've had to go thru right lately is driving me nuts.

In a nutshell,

I moved to Jax only to find out some numbnuts didn't do their job and as a result my nice paying job is on hold till I get my clearance investigation done AGAIN.

We're back from D*Con and ready to jump back in.

I am not able to edit my character sheet to add the XP and HP awards.

same har

Try it now.

FYI guys..

I'm currently participating in NaNoWriMo 2009 and still looking for a job. I got an interview Wendsday. So once I'm at least 3/5ths done I'll see about resuming the game.

For those interested in my progress:

http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/539806

Might want to look at working Alec out, as I have talked to Jeremy a couple times about this game being back on. I think his interest in it is no longer present.

FYI

Waiting on confirmation from Alex first. I feel that I let personal issues screw the players to the point I owe all players a chance to think on it a while.

Confirmed Alec is out of the game.

Tell him I'm sorry I soured him on it. I don't blame him at all.

You didn't sour him on it. Jeremy's just not real big on the online game thing right now (despite repeated attempts to get him to make a character for my game he wanted to be in, it never happened). Between school, wife, and in-person games, he said he didn't even remember the game was going again.

beuller?

Guys, is there any questions that you have about the layout?

If it's not clear what is going on, please ask.

Okay after talking to Alex, I get the impression that my personal karma got in the way of keeping this game at a proper place to maintain interest

For that I again apologize. I have heard that some folks have issues with there characters and others have lost interest in the story.

I can't fix what I don't get told about. (Alex telling me second hand isn't being told)

I feel like I let you guys down, possibly souring some of you on PbP. Again I'm sorry.

As a result, I will wait one week (so you guys can consider what you want to do, copy your characters and such) then I will delete the game.

I'll be sure to get a post in tonight.

No feed back or updates in most of a week. So, want to trash the episode and reboot like some players wish to do?

I got a character, a story, and a picture of Ed Harris. Atlanta Max is ready to rock.

Ah.. another holiday with an ugly color scheme. :D

Bah! Green is my favorite color.

Mine, too. I like it. Might prefer if they allowed it as a permanent color scheme.

Wait till you see the April Fools set up.  Bleh

I will be out of town all weekend at FantaSciCon in Chattanooga TN. In all likelihood I will have no net access and will not be able to post until Monday

Same Here

Better get me a drawing of Val! Durn ya!

Fixed my post to account for Nighthawk not being inside the room. ;)

:) Well I say we blame it on the GM.

SMITE

That was an excellent use of the "Shift Blame" spell.

And remember, Smite only works on evil-alig... oh... yeah... ;)

SMITE!SMITE

OK in all seriousness I did think Nighthawk had flown up and out through a sky light.  Would he even be aware of the "Stuff" that was taken?

Well I'm sure his passenger would have made it abundantly clear.

Yeah that's the ticket..

Waiting on Max to 'arrive' to post.

Working on an html "Character Sheet"  I'll try to have a blank one posted by this weekend.
This message was last edited by the GM at 03:21, Wed 31 Mar 2010.

No need to work on a html form on the site (of course if you WANT to do one for an outside site..that's all cool.)

I just need something that reads better than plain text.  I'll post a blank one and you guys can use it as much or as little as you like.

No worries.. I'm sure that can work on things.

Yay!

Ugly April Fools colors goes away!

Hey does Slipstream have a passcode Myth gave him?

Assuming you didn't lose it again.

Sure he does. It's "IMNOTAPOSER".

Gee.. whose YouTube video did Slipstream get I wonder/ :D

One never knows.

You stole mah videos!

Gryn.

Things are looking up for the gamesI see..everyone having fun?

Yep.

Just so you guys know.. waiting for the rest of the team to get into the club to close out the chapter. :-P

Will happen today.

Looks good... Master of the Crossroads has made his appearance.. creeping out everyone.. check

Not that there is a lot of stuff left, but Max has it all piled up.


Now back to staring at the story I've been working on in my continuum section of google docs. :D

http://www.superheronation.com...-lantern-batman1.jpg

Carry on.

Fyi..typing up next scene.. so feel free to close out the scene in the club.

I do find myself wondering how Slipstream would react to the exposure of Val, since she is supposed to look 'eerily' like Liberty Belle.

<blame Alex for that btw>

I figure he wouldn't be any more shocked than Val will be the first time she sees a picture of Belle Braddock.

True true.. but she's not the type to go researching into 'ancient history' (to her that is.:D )

Hey.  Any problem doing the super hero shuffle and swapping out Knight Hawk for Mr. Impossible?

Sunkiller had the Idea that Remarkable actually was Mr. Impossible who was just trying out a new "gimick"

Knighthawk might simply have to bail, he was on a test run of the armor when he showed up.  Impossible could have returned from helping the injured person to catch the tail end of the conversation and we could start him in the new thread.

I don't see any problem (haven't seen the character yet though) but I don't see any problem with Nighthawk either. :-O

No one wants to stick with their original toon.. <goes to cry in corner>

I now have an in costume pick...
This message was last edited by the player at 01:52, Fri 23 Apr 2010.

...and an out of costume pic.

Post will be coming tonight.. my advisor finished walking me though the lab setup and I got my old PC machine working.. so I'll be able to use IE <shudder> like the school systems require.
 :D

Iron Man.

STAY THRU THE CREDITS.

Carry on

Prolly won't be posting as much soon. Hard to type much with a broke right hand. I'll try and keep up as much as possible.

Bad Tommy.  You broke the third rules of the libririans.

1. Silence
2. Return books before their due date.
3. Don't mess with the causality of space/time

--> He's not amused. :D

Ten things I'm not allowed to do in a game (according to Alex)

10. Any halfling whose last name is Fiveboars
9.  Use the Gorrag as a badguy
8.  No Wild Mages
7.  Use the Gorrag as a badguy
6.  Employ Wirrikidor (that's his idea)
5.  Use the Gorrag as a badguy
4.  Introduce characters from Terry Pratchett
3.  Use the Gorrag as a badguy
2.  Give Shane an Arrow of Dragon Slaying (again)
1.  Use the Gorrag as a badguy.

What can I say, I'm bored.

Tough Audience

Yeah Tommy has been itching to finally get that Hat Trick of Library Rules violations.

Mission accomplished

Careful, you don't want to pay the penalty of doing it. (Which involves the Librarian trying to thread your feet through your ears after flailing you about by your ankles)

http://nodwick.humor.gamespy.com/ffn/index.php

wish I had seen this one a WHILE ago.

Max owes me a bottle of display cleaner as I was reading this while sipping a Monster Blue.

Whistles idly.

Hopefully i can get display cleaner for 32 cents. Other wise im gonna need some time.

Whistles idly,

Watches Tumbleweeds go bye....

Nudge Nudge

Hint Hint.

Bueler?

I'll post after I see what Max and Mr. Impossible are doing. I hope one of them are grabbing the wheel.
This message was last edited by the GM at 06:12, Sat 02 Oct 2010.

The car should be stopped.

Would still like comments from the last two players. I know Max hasn't been on site in a month but then he IS a senior in high school right?

Doh!

Gotta squeegy?

Eh, it's only for 10 or so rounds. 1 minute ain't that bad.

What have we learned? Not to use a one shot windows driven space/time manipulator.

Welcome to Ecedrin headache 666: manipulating time/space

That explains a lot... jerk could've at least used a Linux clone...

Anyone using Linux wouldn't be vioating the laws of time/space..they're too cool. Besides if you were Kilroy would you leave something stable behind?

Tonight on 'How to NOT ambush a Hero' We'll have the hilarious results of ambushing Yeoman in a Dick's Sporting Goods superstore......

Plus an expose of why you don't see Atlanta Max north of the Mason/Dixon after the first frost...

1666. If if takes more than five minutes for the debris to stop falling, I need to pick a smaller gun.

1667. When told to distract the bad guy they didn't mean by playing Wham over their commlinks.

1668. When told to distract the bad guy they didn't mean by shooting the guy standing next to him.

1669. When told to distract the bad guy they didn't mean by setting him on fire.

The GM is doing school stuff, NanoWriMo and trying to do Friday/Saturday raids but as a side note I'd like to finish this adventure before the new year if we can.

Just need the next in-game post to get us going.

I miss this game.

I kinda do too.

Yay!

Well damn. I didn't notice until it was time for Tower to talk but nearly all of the characters are gone.

Really? Which ones are missing?

Well most significantly Tower.

Strange but you can always rebuild him.  You and I are the only ones using the board and I didn't mess with it.

Test test

Worked

Ah.. all I had to do was 'ping' the thread to get it to pop back up for you.

Yar..

Yar..

Yar..

Still mentally on vacation. Will he starting back up soon.

That is cool. Today Tancred Desmire dies just like his brother did.

Bullet to the head.

There are some changes incoming to the Foundation world that will affect Val's backstory and origin but will not affect how her story is going right now.

I can see Tower lurking somewhere nearby worrying. :D

An update is coming soon.

Kind of figured. ;)

Likely no updates until after D*Con.

Boo. Hiss.



Have fun.

Would it be cool for Val to refer to herself as a FISS?

Flight
Invulnerability
Super-Strength

Negative.

Sorry.. big PS238 fan.. I like the current storyline.

http://www.schlockmercenary.com

"I've read your dossier, it is full of the blood of kittens."

Any chance you would be interested in starting/restarting a game on here that I could play in?

Playing MnM once a month has turned out to be similar to an addict being allowed to smell cocaine but not snort any.

If I could come up with an idea again.. sure.

Hell recycle something if you need to.

Also I/we have some big changes going on in the Foundation setting that I will be talking about with you soon.

Push comes to shove.. we could at least plot out stuff for Foundation as a setting.

You know I've been curious about a 'bible' for the setting.

Rebuilding that "bible" is exactly what is happening.

I'd like to ad some elements I offered before.

That is exactly my intention.

I still like the image of a vault of old prisoners and items hidden in an old salt mine/prison/warehouse 13 style facilty out west.

I'd like to do something with the Eyekillers I banged up off your stories.

Got two or three posts before I plot out the whole storyline and put things together for the Carolina Bowman.. :D

Looking forward to that.

In other news I need you to repost for Val. While I was making a post just a minute ago I managed to delete your last post and my update.

Looking at perhaps adding a second player to the game.

Yours or mine?

Mine.

Still outlining my idea. :D

The Yeoman's place of work is called "Big Ed's Sporting World".

Does Big Ed sell guns in the 30 watt range?

Sells guns but not energy weapons.

Shame but look sterno and CNg cylinders

Hell's bells there's black powder if your just looking to blow the place up. :)

HallowCon prep has slowed down my game. It will pick back up on Monday.

Boo I posted during a convention weekend

Just kidding have fun

I'm alive.. just uber busy (got promoted to trainer)

Games come second.

Hope it pays more.

Any chance the Yeoman game will move soon?

I'm trying to   Keep getting stuff on my plate that requires me to come in earlier and earlier

'Allow?

Soon

Damnit we suck again!,,

Wow,I just saw this. All of my games have died and I got out of the habit of looking on rpol.

Yeah.. I figured that Real life had mugged you out of the game.

Pout.

In reply to GM Kain (msg # 176):

I was just looking at the old threads from this yesterday!

How is the joints handling Max?

POUT

False Start?

No, it's coming. I promise. Lots of game prep going on atm.

Just asking, cause you last response was Walt Longmire brief..
(Finished MHI: Grudge and moved on to Dry Bones)

Lost my notes on the Eyekiller.. you still got my take?

If I do I don't recall where.

POST OF THE BEAST..

Gimme a bit to work that out.

No rush of course.

Alls quiet on the Foundation Front..


Look at those tumbleweeds. :D

FYI.  Wish you guys could be here for Cayden’s Crawl this week

That would be cool.

Pathfinder 1&2, Starfinder and Pathfinder Card game

Tap tap? Anyone alive out there?

Mostly.

Ever plan on resuming your Val storyline?

All the time...

Wow been two years since a post was done

Geez...

You should come join my Heroes Unlimited game.

link to another game

Agreed. I’m in it!

Woof the board has been around FIFTEEN YEARS!!!

Wow!

Yup. Definitely a long time. Shame it died years ago
