Re: OOC

Post updated with TNs.  Most were 12, not 11.  Memory, first thing to go after....hmmm, I forget.

Do note: if you have any suggestions for the NPC crew members please speak up.

Re: OOC

Looks like we can start expecting the kickstarter to spit out at least the PDF version of the full book some time in November or at most December, best get this story moving so we can progress into the larger one on time.

Re: OOC

It's going to be at least one more day. It's been a really draining day which had a few unexpected twists.

Re: OOC

GM. By any chance does Casey see anyone participating in arm wrestling competitions?

As that may well be a good way to get people to talk after a few rounds of contests.

Re: OOC

Not yet.  But your approach might be to start one with one or more tough looking patrons.

Is there by any chance a piloting simulator? Because I got nothing. The only focuses I have are Pistols, Piloting, and Searching.


Not having a specializations doesn't preclude a roll, it just means you don't get the +2 bonus to your roll.



Then what would you recommend for one of the following, Fighting, Accuracy, Dexterity, or Perception. Maybe shooting some pool to get to know some of the locals?The last three would make sense for that skill. Dexterity and accuracy for the shooting portion, and Perception for the bet shots.

Re: OOC

Sure, pool or darts with Accuracy works.

Re: OOC

Really any of those skills could be used to play a particular kind of pool game.  Fighting you goad your opponent into attacking you and best them completely outside the pool table.

Accuracy lets you pull off difficult and visually interesting shots.

Dexterity could let you take fairly normal shots in unusual poses that draw attention.

Perception would make you take the harder to notice but easier to perform shots more often.

In any case it would describe a style preference but you should use the one with the largest bonus for the highest chance of success, unless you want to be known for one style for some social or personality based reason.

Re: OOC

Then If allowed I'd like to begin shooting pool in a very visible display of dexterity. I'll go for shots that show my flexibility, over normal shots.

Casey, just need you to add your roll to yours and I'll resolve everyone's attempts.

Re: OOC

I didn't add it figuring you might want to describe who it was Casey approached and have a little interplay to set it up but I will go add it now.

Sorry for the delay, pet-related emergency has taken up 2 days now.  Hope to have response up tomorrow.

Re: OOC

No worries. Came down with a bug that I am still recovering from and a pet related emergency of my own.

I hope yours is doing okay now.

<Edit>

I just read the IG post. I am going to think on it and return later for a post. Hopefully I'll have a clearer head by then.

Re: OOC

If I were to use "And Another Thing" to attempt to defuse the situation I presume it would need to be some communications roll as I try to talk the crowd down while saving the man's ego?

Sorry for taking so long. It hasn't been a good week.

Re: OOC

Sure, Communication is a solid choice.  Seems like the system allows a lot of flexibility; if you can come up with a reasonable idea how to apply a different approach go for it.

Very sorry times are tough right now.  Thankfully that doesn't last; just usually lasts longer than we want it to.  Hang in there.

Re: OOC

I'm sorry  for not posting recently. I'm busy with several projects at the moment, and haven't had much time. Mostly though what I haven't had time for is to find out what stunt points are for, and what they can do.

I would like to do something, but I'm not sure what.

Re: OOC

Ok, I get how to use stunt points, but how do you get them? And how do you know when you do get them?

Re: OOC

If you have the free download of the Quick Start Rules, it is covered at the bottom of Page 7.

In short, you need to have a successful test result, roll doubles on at least two of the dice, then you get Stunt Points equal to your drama die.

The dice roller, also denotes it when the potential comes up as can be seen with a couple of Casey's rolls.

Yep, here's an example:

16:37, Today: Casey Khatri rolled 11 using 3d6 (4 stunt points) with the AGE System with rolls of {4}, 4, 3.  Communications.

Re: OOC

FYI: I recently had a bad experience with a GM in a game I was in. There are messages from me that he may get offended to, Nothing vulgar or abusive (IMO) but since I was calling him on certain behaviors, and our culture has become so weak that criticism is now easily able to get you banned I may disappear from my games. If this happens do not think it is personal.

Re: OOC

It's been a rough week and I won't be around much for the next day or so but I will try to get on at least once to respond. It's a short post but it should get the social RP moving forward.

Re: OOC

Just a heads up for you all, I got hit by the flu bug this week and I am either on the cusp of getting better or it turning into something nastier.

My plan is to enlist the waitress' help and through her the rest of the staff if need be. I figured on RPing that out, hence the original quick post.

I am hoping that I am on my way to a full recovery but ...

Anyway, for those that do celebrate have a Happy Belated Thanksgiving and weekend.
