Fate & Bounty

At the end of each game, the Marshal may at his discretion award chips for efforts taken during the game.  These chips will be awarded based on participation and contribution to the progress of the story, and will be done in this thread. Here's how it's gonna work:

1.  When the Marshal declares that the game has ended, POST IN THIS THREAD:

(a) Which chips did you cash in? For how much bounty?
(b) What, if anything, are you improving?
(c) What chips you are left with? (How many? Which colors?)

REMEMBER:  You can't have more than 10 chips at a time, so if you're around there, I suggest you cash in a few for Bounty.

2.  After you have done this, draw your chips from the pot. Roll 3d85 (or d86 if there's a Legend chip floatin' around). If you have an Edge, relic, or other ability that gives you more chips, increase your draw as needed. Use the following table to tell you what color your chips are:

Roll      Color
01-50     White
51-75      Red
76-85     Blue
 86      Legend

---

Notes:

• White Chips are worth 1 Bounty, Red Chips are worth 2 Bounty, Blue Chips are worth 3 Bounty, Legend Chips are worth 5 Bounty
• When raising Aptitudes, a player may only raise a character's aptitude for which he has succeeded during the preceding session of play.
• See the Deadlands Player's Guide and Marshal Law: House Rules thread for more details on Fate, Bounty, and Improvin'.

End of Game Session!

Time for some chips...

EVERYONE gets the following:

• 3 White Chips
• 1 Red Chip
• 1 Blue Chip

---

After you've counted up all your chips and decided what to do with 'em please post in this thread as follows:

(a) Which chips did you cash in? For how much bounty?
(b) What, if anything, are you improving?
(c) What chips you are left with? How much Bounty?

After everyone has done this, the Deputy will draw your next session's chips for you in the order of the responses.

(a) Cashing in 7 W, 1R, 1B for 12 Bounty
(b) Getting two new gifts for 5 Bounty each (Hardy, Endure) and increase Scrutinize to 2 (2 Bounty)
(c) Left with 0W/0R/0B/0L and 0 Bounty

I'm going to cash in a Blue and a White for 4 Bounty Points, which I will spend on increasing my Shooting to 4.

This leaves me with 4w, 1r and 0 bounty.

Have 6W 4R 1B

(a) Cashing in 3W 1R for 5 bounty.
(b) No improvements.
(c) Left with 3W 3R 1B and 5 bounty.

I have 5W, 2R, 1B

a) I'll cash in 3W and 1R for 5 Bounty
b) I'll spend 3 Bounty to raise my Guts to 3
c) That leaves me with 2W, 1R, 1B, and 2 Bounty

Sorry to be dilatory.

I'll spend 3 White and 1 Red for 5 bounty points and use them to improve Guts from 1 to 3 so Randolph can do something besides cower.

That leaves me with 3 White, 1 Red, and 1 Blue remaining.

Fate's been going pretty easy on you so far, hasn't she?  Don't worry, she's just getting warmed up.  Soon, you'll be knee deep in the cow pies she's flinging your way and begging her for more.

Here's what she slapped you in the face with today:


Daniel:      3W -- --
Gabby:       3W -- --
Coraline:    1W 1R 1B
Caleb:       3W -- --
Randolph:    1W 2R --



Rolls are listed on the dice log.  Keep in mind, chips are first come first serve.  Once all the chips of one color are gone, your rolls automatically get downgraded to the next lowest color with available chips.  (Blue down to Red down to White.)

---------

After taking your chips, the following should be your grand totals:


Daniel:      3W -- --
Gabby:       7W 1R --
Coraline:    4W 4R 2B
Caleb:       5W 1R 1B
Randolph:    4W 3R 1B



Note:  If anyone has Luck O' the Irish, let me know and I'll draw you an extra chip.

Please double check your final totals to make sure they are correct.  Report any discrepancies to the proper authorities so the matter can be handled with the professionalism you've come to know from your friendly Deadlands Marshal.

I have 6w, 2r, 1b.

I'll spend 4w, 1r on Bounty, raising my Quickness from 2d8 to 3d8. That leaves me with 2w, 1r, 1b, and no saved Bounty.

Have 4W 4R 3B

(a) Cashing in 1W 2R 1B for 8 bounty.
(b) No improvements.
(c) Left with 3W 2R 2B and 13 bounty.

I'll spend 1W1R1B on Bounty for six points, which I'll use to improve Quickness from 2d6 to 3d6.

I have 3W,3R,1B remaining.

I'm going to cash in 1W, 1R, and 1B which, with my prior balance of 2 Bounty, give me a total of 8 bounty.

I'm going to bump my Guts to 4 and my Streetwise to 3. That'll leave me with 1 spare point of Bounty.

Remaining: 2W 0R 2B

(a) Cashing in 4 W, 2R, 1B for 11 Bounty

(c) Left with 0W/0R/0B/0L and 0 Bounty

Fate caught you with your pants down and couldn't stop laughing.  Here's what she threw you out of pity:

Spending 5w, 2r for 9 bounty.

Spending 4 Bounty to raise Cognition from 1d12 to 2d12.

Saving 5 Bounty.

Left with 3r, 2b.
This message was last edited by the player at 16:51, Wed 06 Feb 2013.

I have 6W 3R 1B

- Cashing 2R 3W -> 7 bounty
- doing nothing with it
- leaving 3W 1R 1B.

I think.

I will cash in 3W+2R for 7 bounty and bank it, which leaves 2W 3R 1B.

(a) Cashing in 1 W, 2R for 5 Bounty
(b) Getting a new gift/miracle for 5 Bounty (to be named shortly, once I get a chance to look at the book)
(c) Left with 1W/3R/0B/0L and 0 Bounty

I had a previous balance of 1 Bounty. The new chips gave me a total balance of 4W 1R 2B.

I'm going to cash in 1R and 2W which will give me 5 Bounty. I'm going to spend those 5 points and will PM the Marshal with details on that investment.

That will leave me with a balance of 2W 0R 2B.

Howdy, cowpokes.  Once again Fate has had her way with you.  Here's the draw:


Coraline:    3W -- --
Gabby:       2W 1R --
Sky Dog:     2W -- 1B
Randolph:    3W -- --
Daniel:      1W 1R 1B

End of Game Session!

No need to stop playing, but I think it's time for some chips!

No chips to dole out this time, as I've been doing that sporadically as well as handing out Bounty (besides, some o' y'all ain't so good at spendin' 'em!), so we'll skip right to the next step.

---

After you've counted up all your chips and decided what to do with 'em please post in this thread as follows:

(a) Which chips did you cash in? For how much bounty?
(b) What, if anything, are you improving?
(c) What chips you are left with? How much Bounty?

After everyone has done this, the Deputy will draw your next session's chips for you in the order of the responses.

I currently have:

Chips: 3r, 1b
Bounty: 8

I was going to improve my Guts to 4 and my Ridicule to 3, as well as pick up Streetwise 1. That will use up all my bounty. I'll also trade in my Blue chip for 3 bounty, leaving me with 3 red chips and 3 bounty.

Edit:

Have 5W 1R 1B and 2 bounty

(a) Cashing in 1W for a total of 3 bounty.
(b) Raising Sleight o' Hand from 2 to 3.
(c) Left with 4W 1R 1B and 0 bounty.
This message was last edited by the player at 04:44, Fri 26 Apr 2013.

I currently have 0 White Chips, 1 Red Chip, 2 Blue Chips, and 5 Bounty.

I'm going to spend 3 Bounty to bump my Overawe to 3. I figure that might be a worthwhile investment, given the inordinate amount of civil disobedience around Dodge.

Marshal Edit: I believe this leaves Caleb with

1 Red, 2 Blue and 2 Bounty
This message was last edited by the GM at 04:10, Wed 24 Apr 2013.

I'll spend 2 Bounty to bring Shootin' Pistols to 2, leaving me with 3 White, 3 Red, 1 Blue.

(a) Cashing in 2 W, 3R for 8 Bounty
(b) Getting 3 new gifts/miracles for 15 Bounty (Smite, Spiritual Giant, Zeal)
(c) Left with 0W/1R/1B/0L and 0 Bounty

a) keeping all 3 white chips
b) nudging Medicine (Gen.) to 4 if possible
c) have 3 white, 5 bounty

Fate just got slap happy, so bend over and ask for another.  Here's the draw:


Gabby:       1W 2R --
Coraline:    3W -- --
Caleb:       1W 2R --
Randolph:    3W -- --
Daniel:      1W 2R --
Sky Dog:     -- 2R 1B

End of Game Session!

Ding, dong the witch is dead! Which old witch? The...alright, no witches here. Not in this game, at least...so far. But the Butcher has been defeated, so we can take some solace in that.

Everyone gets 8 Bounty as a reward for the defeat of the Butcher and his machinations, and managing to do so without killing Dr. Mansfield. Additionally:

- Coraline gets a blue chip for her knockout blow on the Butcher. That happened quicker than I expected!
- Sky Dog gets a white chip for having to try to single handedly deal with the Butcher. Sky Dog, next time I won't pull any punches, so in the future if your hat/pants removal techniques do not avail, it may mean the death of the strange Siberian we all know and love!
- Caleb gets a white chip for helping me with Wyatt Earp, and doing it with style.

---

After you've counted up all your chips and decided what to do with 'em please post in this thread as follows:

(a) Which chips did you cash in? For how much bounty?
(b) What, if anything, are you improving?
(c) What chips you are left with? How much Bounty?*

*Remember, the maximum number of chips you can hold at any time is ten, so if you've got more than that at the time of the draw, some of them will automatically be converted to Bounty for you by the Deputy - so there's no point holding onto any more than seven at this stage.

After everyone has done this, the Deputy will draw your next session's chips for you in the order of the responses.

Gabby has 11 bounty left, as well as 1 white and 1 red. I am going to cash in both, which will leave me with 15 bounty.

I'm going to raise my Shooting to 5 (5 Bounty), My Persuasion to 4 (4 Bounty points), and, if the GM allows it, I'd like to buy the Nerves o' Steel edge (3 points) and the threatenin' version of The Voice (3 points). That would use up all my bounty.

Have 4W 0R 2B and 8 bounty

(a) Cashing in nothing.
(b) Spending 5 for new hex.
(c) Left with 4W 0R 2B and 3 bounty.
This message was last edited by the player at 21:30, Sun 30 June 2013.

Have 1W, 0R, 1B, and 10 Bounty

I'm not going to cash in any chips.

With the Marshal's permission, I'm going to spend 3 Bounty to purchase "The Stare". I'm also going to bump both my Shootin': Pistols and Shootin': Rifles up one level apiece.

That leaves me with a balance of 1W, 0R, 1B, and 0 Bounty.
This message was last edited by the player at 03:02, Tue 02 July 2013.

I'd like to up Shootin':Pistols to 3 (3 Bounty). I'd also like to acquire the edge Snakeoil Salesman (3 Bounty).

I'll bank the remaining 2 Bounty, leaving me with 6W 3R 1B for chips.
This message was last edited by the player at 02:33, Tue 02 July 2013.

Have 3W 1R 1B and 13 bounty

- cashing 1R for 2 bounty -> 15
- feeding 6 to my thunderbird and getting a point of Flichin' for Korpi, if that's allowed.
- left with 3W 0R 1B, 8 bounty

(a) Cashing in 2R for 4 Bounty
(b) Upping Search from 2 --> 3
(c) Left with 1W/1R/1B/0L and 1 Bounty

Congratulations on keeping yourself from getting butchered!  We thought at least one of you would have been decapitated for sure.  Ah, well.  There's always next time.

For being so capable, Fate has shoved this little reward up your ass:


Gabby:       2W -R -B 1L
Coraline:    1W 1R 1B
Caleb:       2W 1R -B
Randolph:    2W 1R -B
Sky Dog:     -W 1R 2B
Daniel:      3W -R -B


You can see that the LEGEND chip was thrown into the pot and automatically drawn by GABBY CLARKE.  Fuck me, that was fast!

So, what makes him so legendary?  If I had to guess, it'd be the impressive beard, his big 'fuck you' on the topic of animal control, and the scratchy long underwear he wears.  You know, the kind with the square flap in the back that never seems to stay closed, exposing his wrinkly old man ass?

Rolls are listed on the dice log.  Keep in mind, chips are first come first serve.  Once all the chips of one color are gone, your rolls automatically get downgraded to the next lowest color with available chips.  (Blue down to Red down to White.)

---------

After taking your chips, the following should be your grand totals:



Gabby:       2W 0R 0B 1L
Coraline:    5W 1R 3B
Caleb:       3W 1R 1B
Randolph:    6W 3R 1B **
Sky Dog:     3W 1R 3B
Daniel:      4W 1R 1B


**Randolph - The maximum amount of chips allowed is 10, which you already have.  Your chip draw was automatically converted to bounty.  Please add 4 bounty to your totals.  Next Fate draw, make sure to convert enough chips to bounty to leave you with 7 chips or less.

Please double check your final totals to make sure they are correct.  Report any discrepancies to the proper authorities so the matter can be handled with the professionalism you've come to know from your friendly Deadlands Marshal.

- Make sure to update your biography line to reflect your new totals!

End of Game Session!

Three Headless Horsemen! I wondered if you were up to the task, but I figured the only way to find out was to throw them at you and see what happened. Worst case scenario one of your PCs would have died or something. But hey, you guys nailed it!

Everyone gets 5 Bounty as a reward for the defeat of the Headless Horsemen! In addition to that everyone gets a Red Chip from me for putting up with my incessant delays over the last few months. I started this combat round and then one thing after another hit me, and here we are finishing it three months later. Hopefully this next year will be more productive and eventful!

Also, after that for those of you that have less than 7 chips, in a very socialist manner I am going to raise everyone up to 7 in a private line:

---

After you've counted up all your chips and decided what to do with 'em please post in this thread as follows:

Chips: 3W, 2R, 1B, 1L. I currently have 23 bounty.

I will spend 1w, 1L for 6 Bounty (29 Bounty left)

I spend 24 bounty to raise my Spirit trait die type from d6 to d8 (5 bounty left)

I spend 5 bounty to raise my Guts from 4 to 5 (0 bounty left)

Left with 2W 2R 1B

Fate stopped by to drop some chips down your pants!  Here's the draw:

Gabby:       2W 1R -B
Coraline:    -W 2R 1B
Randolph:    2W 1R -B
Sky Dog:     3W -R -B
Daniel:      2W 1R -B

After taking your chips, the following should be your grand totals:

Coraline:    3W 3R 4B
Randolph:    6W 2R 1B
Sky Dog:     5W 0R 3B
Daniel:      3W 3R 1B

Please double check your final totals to make sure they are correct.  Report any discrepancies to the proper authorities so the matter can be handled with the professionalism you've come to know from your friendly Deadlands Marshal.

Make sure to update your biography line to reflect your new totals!

ALSO...

For facing down three Headless Horsemen at once, everyone who participated in that sequence gets 1 Grit. The next time you take a Guts test, add your Grit to whatever your result is (on top of any other bonuses you may have).

Since I'm such a great guy, I've already gone ahead and added it to your character sheets for you (it's towards the top section).

Wow! It's been well over a year since Fate has smiled (or frowned, as the case may be) upon you. A slow year, but a year nonetheless. Let's remedy that, along with one other thing. I've made a few changes to my House Rules that I think will be appreciated:

1. As long as you have the Bounty to pay for something, you can improve it without the old restriction of requiring your success for that skill in the previous game session (unless you're trying to improve an Aptitude to more than a 5).
2. Players will now draw their own chips, and I'm no longer counting to make sure the chip balance is as in the rules.

---

Without further ado, I declare this game session to be at an end. Everyone gets 1W 1R 1B.

Here's the updated guidance as to how your posts in this thread should look:

(a) Which chips did you cash in? For how much bounty?
(b) What, if anything, are you improving?
(c) What chips you are left with before your draw? (How many? Which colors?)
(d) Roll 1d85 for each chip you should get. For most players, this should be 3d85 unless some ability lets you draw more. Post your roll.
(e) What chips you are left with after your draw? (How many? Which colors?)

Don't forget to update your Bio line with your new chip total!

REMEMBER:  You can't have more than 10 chips at a time, so if you're around there, I suggest you cash in a few for Bounty.

---

Notes:

• White Chips are worth 1 Bounty, Red Chips are worth 2 Bounty, Blue Chips are worth 3 Bounty, Legend Chips are worth 5 Bounty
• When rolling for chips a result of 1-50 returns a White Chip, a result of 51-75 returns a Red Chip, and a result of 76-85 returns a Blue Chip.
• If there is a Legend chip present, use a d86 instead. A result of 86 will return a Legend Chip.
• See the Deadlands Player's Guide and Marshal Law: House Rules thread for more details on Fate, Bounty, and Improvin'.

Current Chips: 7w, 3r, 2b

This means I need to cash some in, as I can only have 10 chips at a time.

Current Bounty: 0

I think, based on the good rolls Gabby gets on Cognition checks, that he's going to develop the Keen edge (costs 9 bounty). So I will spend 1b, 2r, 2w for the 9 Bounty I need for it.

Chips after that: 5w, 1r, 1b

I'm about to get 3 new chips, so I'll trade in 3w for 3 Bounty to be used later.

That leave my chip total 2w, 1r, 1b

My current bounty: 3

New chips:

09:25, Today: Gabby Clarke rolled 3,65,77 using d85,d85,d85 with rolls of 3,65,77. Fate Chips.

1w, 1r, 1b. :D

(e) 4W/1R/2B/0L

Have 3W, 4R, 3B, and 0 Bounty

Cashing in 2 W, 3R for 8 bounty.

I'm going to bump Scrutinize (2), Search (2), Sneak (2), and Climbin' (2) up one level apiece.

That leaves me with a balance of 1W, 1R, 3B, and 0 Bounty.

17:08, Today: Caleb Morgan rolled 25,45,70 using d85,d85,d85, rerolling max with rolls of 25,45,70. Chip me.

Please give Korpi more chips etc. as you see fit, for I cannot edit her.

@Randolph - glad I'm not the only one that finds more than surviving a bonus!

For shutting down a Mad Scientist's operation, defeating an undead Bill Quantrill and his Unholy Host and ensuring that he will no longer be able to terrorize the Kansas/Missouri countryside, crawling through burning buildings to look for sand and blankets, I hereby award each player:

2W 2R 2B AND 1 GRIT

Here's the updated guidance as to how your posts in this thread should look:

(a) Which chips did you cash in? For how much bounty?
(b) What, if anything, are you improving?
(c) What chips you are left with before your draw? (How many? Which colors?)
(d) Roll 1d85 for each chip you should get. For most players, this should be 3d85 unless some ability lets you draw more. Post your roll.
(e) What chips you are left with after your draw? (How many? Which colors?)

Don't forget to update your Bio line with your new chip total!

REMEMBER:  You can't have more than 10 chips at a time, so if you're around there, I suggest you cash in a few for Bounty.

Notes:

• White Chips are worth 1 Bounty, Red Chips are worth 2 Bounty, Blue Chips are worth 3 Bounty, Legend Chips are worth 5 Bounty
• When rolling for chips a result of 1-50 returns a White Chip, a result of 51-75 returns a Red Chip, and a result of 76-85 returns a Blue Chip.
• If there is a Legend chip present, use a d86 instead. A result of 86 will return a Legend Chip.
• As long as you have the Bounty to pay for something, you can improve it without the old restriction of requiring your success for that skill in the previous game session (unless you're trying to improve an Aptitude to more than a 5).
• Players will now draw their own chips, and I'm no longer counting to make sure the chip balance is as in the rules.
• See the Deadlands Player's Guide and Marshal Law: House Rules thread for more details on Fate, Bounty, and Improvin'.
