The man in black fled across the desert...

I was hoping I would get a gunslinger at some point.

I've read that game is fantastic but I have about 20 games going I haven't beat already...

Well, i'm defintely willing to go full gunslinger - I even have the points required.


I know the feeling, I used to be a pretty hardcore gamer but now I can't bring myself to spend so much time on them. Even red dead redemption which is the best game ive played since Unchartered 4 i'm only about 50% through and basically have fallen off the wagon (haha).

The man in black fled across the desert...

I do have a question about the situation. I appreciate that this might be for Arlend to figure out but it's always worth asking as there may be some implicit knowlege that I, the player, do no tknow.


Assuming that Arlend drops a few people off into jail, what's stopping the slavers from just going to go get him out, beating up the local forces and making him be released?

Some ideas might be that "while they're okay kind working 'around' the authorities, any direct conflict with them might result in some terrible results that would deter it?

Maybe Arlend would have to stop that also.

Slavers

Why would a slaver risk his life to go spring his competition from jail?

Supply and demand...

Slavers

BTw, Gem powered firearms, how 'common' are they?

My guess is common enough to give the whole thing a wild west feel? But I could be wrong?

Firearms

Actually I had conventional powder-charged cartridge firearms in mind, but firearms using gems would be extremely interesting...

Let's say gemguns don't exist yet, but maybe an enterprising individual could convince an extremely talented gem craftsman (which are hard to find because the art is still in it's infancy) and an extremely talented gunsmith to work together to make such a thing...? I'll leave it at that.

Moving some threads

In the interest of making things in our game a little more compact, and finding things to outfit your characters easier, I will be moving the following threads into the 'General Store' thread:

Vehicles
Mounts
Animal Companions
Weapons
Armor


Since everyone has access (that I know of) to the Google Drive folder containing the books, I'm not going to bother posting stats for every single weapon or piece of armor and the like. If there is equipment you want, look it up in the books and shoot me a quick message so I can see if it fits in the world. Most equipment can be found starting on page 264 of GURPS Characters.

Not true.

Tha game will be takej to new heigjts as arlend becomes the scourge of slavers everywhere. Before his ambition takes him to a much darker place and ve subsequently je becomes a dread pirate.

Yes we do and that makes three. I'll probably keep it there for now until I know what I'm doing.

I know! But I have to ponder...  technically you should fail that and normally wouldn't you use a CP before the roll...?

However, you are right about other circumstances applying to this situation. Since you're in your new getup, wearing a skull mask, and walking out of the fog where they believe they are chasing children...  you know them by name...  you recited your little monologue...

I gotta give it to you.

Give me a while to write all this out.

I don't know if i'm honest. I dont even remember which book it's in.

I tried to play it well. Even a vaguely stupid fighter might think twice about taking on 4 sailors in an unarmed brawl. So, play to his strengths!

No worries, i understand. Occasionally i'm impatient.

But appreciated! I try to play characters in realistic ways, even if dramatic or whatever and not just black and white ways of getting through problems.

It was his first gambit, sow some fear and discord amongst them. Put fear into them about stealin g kids.

Then play to their fears, maybe sabotage some things, cause 'sickness' in their crew until they're caking themselves. Then let all the crew see their captain and mate die and see what they think of that.

Time Away

Shit dude...  you ok?!

I don't stress people being away. You guys are all solo for the time being so it doesn't really matter anyway. Do what you gotta do and come back safe!
