OOC

You're much further than I am, just finished Levithan Wakes and honestly the 1st season on SciFi followed it so closely I knew everything happening.  Though I do find that I did miss the extra characters the show added, missed seeing some of insights into the politics.

Do they show up in later books?  I'm thinking of Chrisjen and Sadavir.

OOC

Added Record Each Die to default roller, should get all necessary information now.  Looks like you will need to document the characteristic and focus in comments in roll as I can't see that can add a modifier.

Chrisjen does. I think Sadavir does too but at the moment, I don't recall with certainty. The books do branch out though with several of the secondary characters bringing them into a spotlight.

I liked all the seasons and how the basically stay true to the main points.

I'm a huge fan of the show and a bigger fan of the books. I am so glad Amazon picked it up to continue the series.

Re: OOC

Indeed, amazon and green ronin both getting the setting and story some extra visibility is good.  But we do want to be mindful of spoiler problems as some of the folks here have probably not read all the books, perhaps not even seen every season of the show.

Re: OOC

I'm just waiting on confirmation on something from the GM then I will post.

Though I may be away here shortly for a few days and possibly without internet access. If I do go dark I will be back on at the end of the week.

Re: OOC

No worries. It happens. I've been there as a GM here too.

Thanks for the answer.

I'm presuming Chao shares that with us given the response. So who all among us are heading for the bar besides Tane and I?

Re: OOC

I assume he will.  He also had some selections to make for his Explorations Stunt Points.

Re: OOC

Sorry about the delay, real life got busy for a few days.

How's everyone else doing?

Re: OOC

Just waiting on the hacking to progress, unless someone needs Doris for something else she is mostly not paying attention to the real world while 'working'.

Re: OOC

Doris, what was your choice of approach on facial recognition?  Stick with the basic or try to access the resources of Pinkwater Security?

Re: OOC

My understanding is that some of the data is free, so start with that.  If we need to use the high risk stuff we can do that then.

Re: OOC

I'm not sure where to go with the info provided. I see two obvious security types, and nothing else that sticks out.

Time to shake the tree at this Road House.

Subtle Casey is not. LOL!

Did we lose Ade?

Re: OOC

It looks like you have 3 basic categories of options.

Keep a low profile.

Kick over the anthill.  or

Try to find someone who knows something useful.

Depending on your skills and preferences you could probably pick something from one of those that makes sense.

Re: OOC

Ade and Cho have not logged in in over a week; which is a shame as this was Cho's contact but I'm not going to penalize the group if a player has dropped.

Truthfully Doris summed it up pretty well.

I'll add, you don't have to get too detailed in your approach.  You can summarize how you try to get info from the bar's occupants; if you have a witty or really great speech throw it in, might lower the target number.  In the end, do add the Communications roll so we can determine how responsive your listeners were.

Finally, you don't really HAVE to interact with anyone in the bar at all.  Could lead to an advantage later on, might not.  Eventually Doris' search will produce results...

Re: OOC

I'm used to RP. I'm just trying to find Casey's feet so to speak.

I got wrapped up with Thanksgiving and visiting various family over the weekend. Never quite made it back to post.

I'll get one up this afternoon after my appointment.

I'll get a post out tomorrow. It's been a long day and I realized I'm not up to figuring out Casey's angle of approach here tonight.

Re: OOC

No worries, I'm working a lot of late hours lately.  Time consuming and mentally draining.

Say I didn't add the TNs for the checks I'd listed for the Late Cage post.  They're all around 11 except I think the bribery was 14 or something.  Ill try to add those tonight for anyone who is concerned
