Hey, I was going through some newer issues of Star Frontiersman mags and saw some newer things and was wondering if a Heavy Autopistol was available?  If so, what other options may be available?

Issue #23 - p.58

There are a bunch of new weapons in that issue starting on p.53 of that issue.

I would suggest players put a "wish list" together and send me a private message titled as such.  Then I can try to insert desired items into the adventures.  It's kind of hard to have them all available for regular shopping in a place like Kraatar--at least as far as weapons--but maybe I can give one to an upcoming enemy.

Will do

I found too much stuff.  I'll get to it soon, maybe tonight

To be clear Heath, we are actually that close to the KLC people to where we can almost melee or be point-blank range (reasonably) with most of them?  I would hate to ask for map if that is possible?

A simple map would be helpful.  I assume (having driven in mountains plenty) there's a cliff face on one side of the road, and a drop-off on the other side.  Which side is the rocket launcher guy on?  What is the other gunner armed with?

I'm thinking of trying to ram the rocket launcher guy, but I'd rather not send the hovercycle over the edge of the ravine if I can help it.

I updated with some details.  My description had been taken straight from the published adventure, which often lacks helpful details like that.

Everyone OK?

Hanging in there.  Had the first week of a new job, teaching English at a university instead of at an English kindergarten (I live in Korea, by the way).  And one of my wife's uncles was killed in a car crash.  It's been a hell of a week.  :D

I'm fine, my character is always a little reticent and it gets worse when the shooting starts.
This message had punctuation tweaked by the player at 16:53, Sun 08 Mar 2015.

Sorry for your loss

Thanks, Desi.

I also extend condolences.

My life has not had any tragedies lately, but my work has metaphorically exploded over the last two weeks, and I've been running all over California working 12-14 hour days trying to get everything back on track.  So I apologize for my absence as well.

We should get back to normal on Monday.

OOC to Porter: I lived many years in Japan.  We were almost neighbors, I guess. :)

I'm starting a 2nd job this week myself at night to help out around the house because I can't count on OT at the prison like I used to.

Glad to hear you're OK too Heath.  Get back when you can.

Everyone else good out there???

We have a new player taking over the Orvo character.  Please give him/her (dralasites have a complicated gender identification, after all!) a warm welcome.

Hello, everyone, this is the new Orvo. Actually, I'm the same Orvo, but after a time of rumination and contemplation, I am now a changed Dral. I look forward to gaming with all of you and getting to know you (again).

Welcome aboard.

I won't be able to post until late Wednesday night or sometime on Thursday.

Happy Easter & Passover to all!

Sorry, I really thought I posted on here that I would be gone until today.  I've been off grid for about 10 days and just getting back into the swing of things.  I should start posting again tomorrow.  If you have any last posts before the next round of combat, now's the time to get them in.

Best character for the weapon available Orvo!

First, I'd like to find the best person to put behind the rifles, the Gauss and the Laser Rifles.  I've posted Desiraye's Military PSA Skills for everyone to get an idea and FYI.  There looks to be a Gyrojet and an Auto-Rifle to claim as well and I think that they should wind up in our most capable hands.  Look through the grenades and melee weapons as well to upgrade your equipment as needed.  Discussions and suggestions are welcome so please don't be afraid to talk/ask...

SKILLS:
Beam Weapons: 6 [DEX:30 + 60 = 90%]
Martial Arts: 3 [DEX:30 + 30 = 60%]
Melee Weapons: 2 [STR:32 + 20 = 52%]
Demolitions: 2
Gyrojet Weapons: 2  [DEX:30 + 20 = 50%]
Projectile Weapons: 4  [DEX:30 + 40 = 70%]
Thrown Weapons: 1  [DEX:30 + 10 = 40%]
Technician: 1

Secondly, if anyone has any XP to spend, we might want to consider doing it now.

Third, I suggest we mount the rocket launcher on the swivel mount on our new explorer.

I've got:

Projectile 3 [Dex 35 +30 = 65%]
Demolitions 2
Gyrojet 2 [Dex 35 +20 = 55%]
Martial Arts 2
Beam 1 [Dex 35 +10 = 45%]
Melee 1
Thrown 1 [Dex 35 +10 = 45%]

We're close to even on the Gauss rifle, and you're a much better shot with a laser, but at the same time as a recon scout, Porter might feel uncomfortable with such a huge weapon.  If you want to take the Gauss rifle, Desi, you're welcome to it.  I'll take the Auto-Rifle and upgrade my Auto-Pistol to the heavy version.

I just have

Beam 1 [Dex 25 + 10 = 35%]
Martial Arts 1 [Str 30 + 10 = 40%]

You're definitely getting a beam weapon Orvo!

I'm considering raising my beam weapons to 2.
