Re: OOC Thread: The Stormclouds Gather

Thanks for the welcome.

Been dodging hurricanes...

Just went 10.5 days without power!

 Lost power on the 9th just around noon as the hurricane passed by.

 No power, no AC, no lights, no stove/microwave/toaster oven, no hot water, no TV, no computer, no modem, no internet.

 Florida. Summer. Hot. Humid. Sat around in the dark and sweated. Didn't sleep well, didn't eat much.

 Couldn't go anywhere since most places were also without power.

 For a few days, gas was scarce, because most gas stations didn't have power, and so couldn't pump gas. The few that either had power or emergency generators had long lines and then ran out of gas. Tried getting by on ice, but so was everyone else, and ice quickly sold out.

 Finally got power back about 8:30 last night.

 So now we're cleaning up the mess.

 It'll probably be another day or two before I get caught up on all my games.

Re: OOC Thread: The Stormclouds Gather

Some great IC stuff, lots for me to work with. Hold off on further posting while I get a post up from Agent Mullalley and the Brigadier about how they plan on getting the team close.

Re: OOC Thread: The Stormclouds Gather

quote:
Permanent Competency Dice can be kept in the Competency Dice pool and refresh after every mission. They can also be used to improve Resistances, Aptitudes, or Powers as well as buying Boosts/Advantages or buying off Complications/Disadvantages. Purchases of additional dice in a Power, a Boost to a Power, a new Advantage, or a new Power should make narrative sense and be reviewed with me beforehand. It is also important to note that a 5D cap on Resistances and Powers remains, going to 6D once players get to the 24D hero level (currently at 21D).

Temporary Competency Dice only go into the Competency Dice pool and will only be usable in the next mission, disappearing afterwards as opposed to refreshing like a permanent Competency Die.


So, in effect, we have 1D to buy new stuff now, and then we will have 0D permanent competency and 3D temp, but we will be a total of 21D character?

Re: OOC Thread: The Stormclouds Gather

So I have been waiting to see if anyone else has anything to add as well as a response to my OOC commentary about how I see Off-Ramp's power working for a teleportation while moving in a plan. If everyone is content with what they have contributed and what I have put forth I can move things forward. If people have any questions either IC or OOC please let me know.

Re: OOC Thread: The Stormclouds Gather

I'm still here as well. I'm just coming up with a couple of things for Dr. Jetsetter's gadget pool--half will go to an area effect invisibility field, the other half to an invisibility nullifier (in case we meet that guy again!).

Re: OOC Thread: The Stormclouds Gather

I will scout via scrying portal before making the jump to the mission. I assume that is a standard super senses roll?

I will cue you as to when you need to make a roll. :)

It is a crazy week at work and I don't have much downtime after so be patient. I will be updating and moving the team forward soon.

Re: OOC Thread: The Stormclouds Gather

Thanks for all the kind words.

My dad suffers from an illness called diverticulitis which he went in two weeks ago for a simple internal examination with a camera and the following day was rushed in with a serious infection....

It is likely they scratched his prostrate with the camera which got infected the infection spread to his kidneys and bladder... So he was in for over a week having high dose antibiotics to get rid of it.

So I've been back and for to Wales where they live trying to sort after care for him and make sure mum was ok

Re: OOC Thread: The Stormclouds Gather

All my sympathies, RD. My friend's mom is in her 70s now, has a compromised immune system, and so she's prone to infections a lot. That's just the way it goes sometimes.

Hope everyone is doing better.
