And I'll jump into it!

Hope everything works out well for Jane regarding her employment. Having gone from a long spell of unemployment into my dream job I really appreciate what I've now got (thank you, Heavenly Father) - and only wish the rest of you could have the same.

Vundra's cannon requires 2 Actions to fire properly, every time he fires. He can fire it using only 1 Action but with a -2 penalty due to it being not properly braced. If he has only 1 Action he can also brace it to fire the following turn without penalty (that is, it stays braced).

Next thing Vundra makes should be a damned recoil system/tripod with mounting bracket. Granted then it takes a turn to properly charge, but still. I should have Chricton make a lightning cannon or arc thrower. Electrical discharge weapon that has decent range and hella great damage.

Good point. At this point you may consider yourself out of combat!

Just post actions normally and I will resolve them when I have the time.

Glad that you are feeling better.  I'm not sure what hit me last night but all of a sudden it was headache and aching bones so I went to bed around 7 pm.  LOL.  I think all the stress caught up with me.

I hope everybody has a great holiday.

Re: OOC Thread IV

Well, Gianna met Santa for the first time...



Seems like they got along!



I really enjoyed that PCs engaged in a moral and ethical discussion. It might not have strictly been wise under the circumstances, but I think we can overlook that.

Knapp's comments were borne from my own personal experiences. Ian and I were in a Morrow Project (post-nuclear holocaust) RPG about 10-15 years ago. Our team ambushed a convoy of bandit vehicles. My character, a demolitions expert named Thanh, was ordered (not by Ian) to blow up an armoured bus where the last holdouts were making a stand. We didn't have a lot of time but we couldn't leave armed hostiles in the area. We knew most of those on the bus were children but were told by locals they were vicious, inbred, mutants (etc.) and the lot needed to die. Thanh went ahead and pulled the trigger. They were, after all, "bad guys". Over time I decided that while par for the course in RPGs this wasn't really a morally defensible choice. We knew there were mainly non-combatants aboard the bus, we only had the word of our local allies (their enemies) to go on regarding their fundamental character, and perhaps there were other options available we didn't consider. (Were I the GM, I would have considered having the bodies of dead children rain down along with the debris to drive home the point.) For the sake of NPC motivation I imagined that Knapp had undergone a similar situation and harboured her own doubts. (I in no way condemn the PCs for mowing down the waved of Trogs who attacked them; this was clearly a situation of self-defence and the use of deadly force was justified and unavoidable.)

Re: OOC Thread IV

It's a good sign in a game when players can have such in-character discussions.

I was once running a Cyberpunk game and my players held a 15-minute in-character debate on the ethics of terrorism as a business strategy!

Oddly, I now teach professional ethics for computer scientists... in fact I've just been chatting by e-mail with one of the students (who ought to be enjoying his holidays but I think he's worried about the exam when he gets back!).

In reply to Smoker Nix (msg # 22):

I unfortunately have had a few similar situations to the one we(characters) were just in. I have had characters run the table on reactions. Just don't ask about the incubus. I play the character. Fortunately I don't tale difference of opinion in character as personal. I know I have dragged that scene on a little longer than need be, but I felt it warranted for the character.
