Your character wouldn't happen to be a pilot, would he?

I don't think Luke is going to be able to cook our way out of this and Hal's only forte seems to be imagining he knows what's going on.

We could really use a good pilot to get us out of this mess.  Driving in with that vehicle above armed with all the guns and rocket launchers would probably give these clowns second thoughts about strong arming us.

Yes, Rhic is a pilot, a good pilot, but unfortunately, the great and mighty GM would have an aneurism just thinking abut any character of mine getting their mitts on heavy weapons ....we've played together way too often and I don't think his eyebrows have grown back since the last time I got a heavy weapon.

Had to make an entrance, a cheering audience, and a chance to see Lukes's jaw hit the floor...couldn't pass it up.

LOL, indeed!  One thing I do love about this particular game, it is very open to the most absurd concepts.  Excellent post Rhic.  You make me laugh and that is one of the best parts of being a GM :)

Oh and yes, don't think I've forgotten about the PPC incident.  My eyebrows are permanently singed!  I have to draw them on with a magic marker now!

Okay so maybe I forgot to account for the blast radius...several times.

and a proper entrance is the heart and soul of a scene. Grab their attention, be entertaining, and most of all have your gun, knife, orbital artillery aimed squarely where it will hurt.

Hey Rhic,  welcome back.  Long time, no see ... but it is a pleasure.
And don't believe anything Hal tells you about me ... I definitely did NOT land the Tardis on the sun.

Does Luke have the lizard man in a choke hold?   Cos if Luke does, how the hell is the thing looking into his eye's, or biting his wrist?

Hey Luke :)

Yeah, originally I considered just having the Ringmaster bite your wrist, remember as a draconian his muzzle is extended, not like a normal human mouth.  I actually tried choking myself and I could almost reach my own wrists, I guarantee he could do it with a protruding snout.  Anyway he decided instead to go for the hypnosis, now let me go and check something because, when I'm thinking about a choking I'm imagining you choking him from the front.  If you've got an arm around his neck and are choking him THAT way, like a wrestler's choke hold, then you're right he can't really make eye contact with you.  I'm going to go a few posts back and check to see exactly what positions you are both in and we will then adjust the post if necessary.

Alright Luke, post adjusted.  I confirmed from the earlier posts that you have an arm around his neck and are choking him from behind, not in front, so his hypnosis trick will not work.  I apologize for the confusion, that's completely on me.

Please go ahead and take your second action.

No worries, and thank you.

Happy Hallowe'en or Merry Samhain to all who may celebrate :)  I hope everyone has a safe and joyful holiday.

Very Happy Thanksgiving (Spanksgiving?) to all who celebrate this day.  I hope everyone enjoys their loved ones, makes merry, and stays safe.

Doing some models and trying to decide what Rhic should be carrying when he gets back to his room and rearms...










Trying to decide on the blades... a good old fashion Bolo machete circa WWI, or something a bit more modern.

Of course, his trusty Colt 1911 pistol will be there as well...it's worked for a hundred years (In his case literally)might as well keep it around.

Yeah being able to model means I can come up with my own toys....and toys for other people who ask nicely.

Very nice Rhic :)  I'd say the old Bolo machete has a certain cache, not to mention it looks badass and scary to most opponents, especially if its been bloodied :)  And yes, your old Colt has been a reliable sidearm for a century. If it isn't broke, why fix it?  You know they don't make 'em like that anymore anyway, fancy or not the new ones aren't as reliable in a fight as the old fashioned ones that were made to last.

LOL, excellent posts all.  Luke's in particular, made me laugh out loud.  I can't wait to read Rhic's response.

I will update tomorrow.  I sense things are about to take a turn...but which way is the question.  (I admit I don't know, and that's what makes it interesting).

Merry Christmas, Blessed Yuletide, Happy Holidays to one and all!  I hope it is merry and bright as can be, given the unique circumstances we all find ourselves in (thanks ever so much 2020) and that you and your beloved ones are healthy, happy, and safe as this year winds finally to a close :)

I am very sorry its been almost a month since I've replied.  I love this game and I am not even close to ready to let it go.  I'll do better from here on.  I promise to reply AT LEAST once a week.  That's an early New Year's resolution that I will keep :)

Post up to end Round 3 and begin Round 4.

I just finished watching the Greatest Showman for I don't know how many times its been now and I am definitely inspired :D

Sorry for my absence, folks.
ReaL liFE^tm has me on the ropes at the moment.   I'll be back soon.

I keep checking to make sure I posted something usable.

I understand, Luke believe me.  I'm having a similar problem right now.  You're worth the wait my friend, do what you have to do I'll be here I promise.

You did post something very useable Hal.  I apologize that I've been so busy of late.  I'll get a post up this week, I have a vacation day (although of course it starts off with me taking my wife to her doctor's appointment) so I'll find the time.  I am really sorry my friend.  I know it sounds cliche, but its not you, its me.

Still here, no hurry.

... me too.

a year later, and I still miss this game more than most

I hope you are all well

Happy New Year!

Hrm.  I don't think that's where Luke was heading.  He's just the cook, after all.

Merry Christmas everyone.  Not sure if anyone is still around but Blessed Yuletide to you and your loved ones.

Merriest of Festive Seasons, my friend.
May it bring you great joy and much love.
