Yes, it's a paddle wheel ship. Here's a link to the original description I posted for it.

Thats more or lesswhat I thought.
Is the Seacutter a tall sail (clipper)?

The Seacutter is a sailing ship, but it isn't a clipper ship. It's probably more like a brigantine.

Does Tealon figure out any way to power the ship using Arcane Mechanik items as Nicollo suggested?

Tealon has no problem adapting the steam gun design to the ship's engines. It's just a matter of converting the system to use a different power source.

However, there's only one problem: you only have one power source. It can be used to power the ship or to power the steam gun. Likewise, while you could have built another steam gun with improvements, you still only have one power source. So only one gun at a time can be powered.


Anyway... apologies for the delay. I had to regroup. This game is mostly a sandbox game, but I found myself having to build another sandbox for the new direction.

In reply to GM StarMaster (msg # 370):

Hands the DM some more sand...and a box to keep it in.

Hope everyone is ok.  We in the UK have come to a stand-still as it has snowed, not 5ft, not even 3ft, more like 6 inches.  Ok, it's drifting to as high as 10ft but shouldn't stop things moving.  At least we are oline so we can stay warm.

Still here in American Cascadia

Ha-ha! Yeah, I was once in Texas when a light dusting of snow occurred and the entire town of San Antonio was paralyzed! They shut down the freeway after about 20 accidents. They even closed the airbase.

Being from New England, I just found it highly amusing.

In reply to GM StarMaster (msg # 374):

Being from Arizona, I still get excited by Snow. much better then rain or hail.

Snow not withstanding, are we waiting for anyone in particular to get moving forward with the game?

Its been a lovely hot day here today and Thursday is supposed to reach 25-27°C. Maybe not as hot as some players in the USA are having it.

Hi GM. If you are waiting for a player to post and they haven't in a few weeks without saying, could you not GM-NPC a comment so we can move forward?

Actually, I was 'waiting' for a possible new player. He is still interested in joining, but has been sick... and struggling to come up with a character that he feels would be fun to play.

Hi All

It's my Birthday Tuesday so will be potentially indisposed.  Normal responses will resume shortly :-)

GM...Hows the potential new player coming along?

I'm waiting for someone to come up with a plan! If I have to do it for you, then I'm just writing a story.

Unfortunately, Tealon is the only one posting frequently enough to actually make this a game.

With so little input from Ioelenna and infrequent posting from Danyka, there's not much for me to work with.

So, unless something changes in the next week or so, I'm going to delete this game.

In reply to GM StarMaster (msg # 381):

:-(
Shame nobody else has been found to join in.

Yeah, it is a shame. From what I gather, most fans of the setting prefer the Privateer Press's own version of the game rather than the D20 version.

And, to be honest, I'm not sure I really grasped the flavor of the game accurately or completely. While I thought the current adventure was interesting, it may have turned off some of the impatient players. Took too long to get back into the thick of the Iron Kingdoms.

In reply to GM StarMaster (msg # 383):

Yeah, it dig drag rather a bit at times with waiting.  I prefer this version.

I am sorry, everyone.  Strategic planning isn't necessarily my strong suit; so, fomenting a revolution has been a difficult conundrum for me.  I am sorry, that I let it bog down my posting to the game.  I never thought that Dany would actually be the squad leader, to be honest (she was never really built that way - I had originally envisioned her to be simple support).  But that is just an excuse for my shortcomings as a player.  Mea culpa.

Honestly, once we moved out to the unknown continent, there wasn't a lot of IK-ness to the setting sometime.  I have always enjoyed the game (when I could participate), but I regret the lulls that was part of.  I am partial to the d20 version personally - probably 'cause I owned it first.

Sorry to see the game go, but it has been limping along (even with just three players) for a long time now.

In reply to Danyka Ydrasyl (msg # 385):

If possible, can we not get going, if Dany 'gets ill', Tealon will step forward and take the reins if that helps.

Tealons has been able to use his skills and learn stuff.  Any XP?  We saved a ship and a nation (of sorts) :-)

Actually, I think Danyka became the 'leader' simply by being the last player standing! All the original players slowly left the game.

In the case of coming up with a plan, it wasn't so much that I was expecting Danyka to do that... it was more about asking for ideas from everyone else. If she doesn't want to be the leader, just say so.

Anyway, with that all out in the open now, do you still want to continue the game?

In reply to GM StarMaster (msg # 387):

Yes please (but I think you knew that already) :-)

Tealon would love to be able to make his own Factory where he could use his skills to create things, explosives, steam guns, winged contraptions, new engines for Ships.. He would also like to see if he could help a Gun Mage achieve her potential.

Had a bit of burnout for the past week or so... and then I got busy and it's taken me a few days to get caught up on all the games I wasn't posting on..

If not Saturday, then Sunday to get this game moving again.
