This didn't occur to me before now. With a couple NPCs you could all party ashore. But there were just too many people aboard as it was...

Thanks,

I have high hopes that at some point we will see a bow to kill in a post-holocaust RPG! Next would be using a Katana (in fact, Maura found one on those knights you killed) and after that, a crossbow kill for the trifecta. Bonus points for a martial arts kill.

(There is nothing wrong with a bow, a perfectly good weapon. But in RPGs with guns available they tend to be something my character possesses but never gets around to using. In this case it actually makes sense, because a bow is quieter than most suppressed weapons. Hence my optimism.)

Huh, you guys never seen a bow used in post apoc?  I have seen it used in Morrow Project!

Back in the 80's, in addition, played a game using the Morrow Project, minus the Project itself, starting from just before the balloon went up.  We called it simply "Holocaust".  Dude, I have seen freaking wrist rockets, bows and arrows, and whatever we could get was put to use.

I didn't even get a copy of TM 1-1 (and Final Watch) until the early 90's, or play/PD my first games until the late 90's. (The first campaign I ran being the initial Final Watch game, the progenitor of this game .) We also played forms of post-holocaust survival RPGs in the 80's but using Top Secret 1st ed. (which had very crunchy combat rules, although not in comparison to TMP, if you recall.) But we had guns, so bows were beside the point. We also played a lot of Gamma World but that is space fantasy. I didn't even play Aftermath! until the mid-90's.

Thanks,

Tony

Re: Out of Character Posts I

Having shot a bow I can tell you that while the weapon can be made fairly silent what it hits will be noisy and it's harder to get a follow up shot to quieten it down. My brothers and I used to hunt wild pigs with bows back in the 80s

You could always attach some kind of explosive to it like in the "Dukes of Hazzard" TV show.

Re: Out of Character Posts I

I'm not sure what sort of arrows Filat has actually. I do know some of the more advanced broadheads are extremely lethal though. If one hit you you'd die, but unfortunately not right away and probably in horrific pain to put it bluntly.

Doing a little meta-gaming (it's ok, I'm an experience PD) Andy hasn't checked the game for a little while. I don't think he'll mind being NPC'd and stay on the boat to guard it if Kim wants to go ashore...

Lina does have some martial arts skill in escrima. Taught by her Filipino cousins.
 She also has a balisong and a kerambit.

Hopefully she never had to get up close and personal with anyone, but she has before during her NGO work.

Because of a certain game, I think I need a break from RPOL.  I am turning off notifications, and I don't know how long I will take away.  Days, weeks.. donno.  Sorry.

Me being up at 4:10 AM writing this because a GM felt that calling me a "Punk Ass Bitch" was proper, well.. that has me examining wanting to be involved with this format.

My sleep and ability to function is worth more than these games.

Sorry.

No worries Tony, much love for you and yours my friend.

Catching up.  That "Certain GM" has banned me from all his games, which is just dandy for me.  He can keep them and his attitude.  I am uncertain why anyone plays with him.

Re: Out of Character Posts I

OK, I think we may need three threads.

1.  Shore Party thread
2.  Boat Thread (If any PCs are there, this is optional if it is NPCs, of course!)
3.  Radio thread

Hey, you're always aces with me, pal!

The boat crew are NPCs so they're set. There is a radio thread already. I'll start a new thread for the shore party activities.

Thanks,

Tony

I don't think you are under the gun at the moment. You need to make a report in the next week or so.

Re: Out of Character Posts I

I think we could double time a couple of klicks, then normal for a couple and the searching the rest of the way.  Just an idea.  I'm open to suggestions/debate.

((ooc: uncertain what we are supposed to do at this point))

I reposted this to the correct thread. OOC comments only should go here. An appropriate IC comment would be "Elliot waited, unsure of how they were going to proceed."

We are more or less waiting for Lee to post.

In reply to James (Jimmy) Gerrold MacGuire (msg # 742):

Did Lee have a specific destination in mind? Look at the map of La Push, WA.

He expected to come out on top of a cliff with the ocean to your west, looking at the medium-large Quillayute river to the south flowing east-west and with James Is., your destination, to the south-west at the mouth of the Quillayute. Does that sound like where you are? I did post a description.

To summarise: you are at the top of a steep slope/cliff but looking east over the forest. There is a river flowing north-south.

Thanks,

Tony
