Re: OOC Thread IV

Wasn't implying 'tide surfer dude. Simply stating. Rarely if ever do I get an attitude with you guys. I can think of one time since I joined the game that I have gotten upset. Which is rare and says something about this group of players.

Good to hear! My apologies, I didn't mean to imply you were upset. (Maybe a little sarcastic but I am glad to hear that's not the case.)

Hey, occasionally I will fudge rolls in favour of my players and I make no apologies. (Who am I kidding? Of course I will apologise, I am Canadian!) In this case I just misread the dice roller record.

Now, where were we? I think I need an action from Rowan. Smoker can post being gobsmacked (not the first time I think he's drawn a Black Joker, eh?). That should do it.

OK, will do. It's very appropriate anyway, he was scared about this expedition in the first place and only came because he felt he had to... then the dice & cards cooperated, so to speak :)

 Tony Rowan is on rear drag with her love, what does she see from her position I deliberately did not post for that reason

In reply to Rowan Dawson (msg # 57):

1) Jane made her roll.

2) Unless I am mistaken, Smoker did not make the TN of 11, neither has Trask.

3) The situation is pretty simple: you are in a 20' wide corridor that is flooded to akle-deep with runoff water. You are walking down a 6' wide path of wooden duckboards and pallets laid down the middle. Vundra reached over to collect some items floating in the water by a mural on the right hand wall. The mural came alive with tentacles reaching for Vundra, coming out of the wall and from the water by his feet. The tentacles have mouths full of sharp teeth. The mural seems to be part of the wall, deforming outwards in a CGI fashion.

Re: OOC Thread IV

You are correct, I did not make the TN of 11.

So I'm huddled in a wide-eyed shaking heap wishing I was elsewhere but not being of any use as far as the current brawl is concerned! Sorry....

Basically, he comes close to fainting but succeeds in remaining conscious. He's almost out of Wind (endurance) but otherwise will be ok next turn.

We need a post from Rowan to continue!

Is Rowan firing a short burst or a long burst? Fortunately, Vundra will be out of the way at that point.

No problem. I was hoping to get the turn up tonight, but I got a cold and just don't have the energy. Should happen tomorrow.

Nice shooting! After all that buildup, the baddie went down in blaze of gunfire.

A couple of notes:

Please remember to include a .tac bloc incicating weapon used, ammo expended and Actions taken. This gives me a better idea what's going on, even if your character can't take an action for whatever reason (so at least I'm reminded why they can't act).

Going forward I will be rolling damage (like we did this time) as this may be affected by hidden factors like armour, and players generally can't spend chips to increase gun damage. (Hand attacks and Melee, like Jason, can be increased with chips.)

And Oscar Wilde said it was the higher form of intelligence.

A great moment in sarcasm was when Phillip of Macedon sent a message to the Spartans saying, "If I enter Laconia, I will level Sparta to the ground." The reply from the Spartans was only one word,

"If."

My father in law (a professor) says the fighting in academia is so vicious because the stakes are so low.

Re: OOC Thread IV

Oddly enough, in the university where I work there isn't much fighting at all. At least not in computer science. I did know some quarrelsome botanists almost 40 years ago last time I was in academia, though. I just talked to everybody.

Quick note, this weekend is my gaming club's annual gaming con! I won't be able to post until Sunday or Monday, depending.

My little Gia and my wife Michelle volunteered to help at the registration desk:
