For Discussion of all things OOG.

I'll review things in a week or so. Picked up a bug a couple weeks ago. Mostly over it and now get to play catch up on projects with deadlines. LOL! Yay!

All good man, I didn't bug you about it cause I know you're a busy dude. Should give me time to finish my inventory and background anyways. Hopefully you are feeling better.

Did you fill out your profile completely when you joined Rpol and follow the steps to become fully approved?

In reply to Shaman (msg # 4):

Ummm. I have member status with no subscription it tells me... I'm not sure if that's what you mean?

For some reason it is not acknowledging you as a full player. Which means I cannot properly give you all the access.

Odds are it is because this game originally was set to mature and in your RPOL account you need to fill out your birth date.

Hence why I was asking if you'd filled out your RPol info on your account completely.

If we cannot fix this, I may need to remove you from the game and have you join again as we may also have a glitch but it looks like mostly they've denied access due to being unable to verify your age appropriate.

I think there is one option I need to check one sec, yup i didn't realize I needed to apply for adult access. Which I have now done

The year of your initial assignment for this game is going to be 3068.

There will be time jumps though pending certain events and personal decisions made by WLR.

In reply to Shaman (msg # 8):

Ooh we are starting at the beginning

Updating tomorrow. Presuming nothing else with this wedding reception coming up goes sideways.

Hopefully it all goes well:), no rush my friend

Posts coming tomorrow. Life decided to go back on slowing down. Also, do you want to mess with body hit location?

I usually leave that decision to the players in the group.

Body hit location is good lets roll with it

Post coming once the coffee gets injected into my veins. How was the trip down?

Trip was good, roads were really not that bad , I just had my coffee so I'm already flying :)

Keep your fingers crossed that nothing more blows up. I think we are through the worst of it and getting back to something of a routine.

It's still day by day but the focus is expanding outwards again so posting should pick up now.

I am also feeling more in tune with gaming in general and Battletech. The break away from the public has helped there.

Sounds great man, helpfully it all goes a-ok from here.

Thanks. Crossing fingers. I'm hoping that our weekend plans are nicely distracting.

Grin. Still cannot quite convince her to dive into the BT Universe. Chuckle.

That's a shame be cooler if you could

I have her interested in Shadowrun, Cyberpunk Red, The Expanse, Mutants and Masterminds 3e, and Eclipse Phase beyond our standard DnD 3.5e and 5e.

So I consider that a win. Chuckle.

I suppose haha, naw thats pretty good

How do you feel about your rolls to date on the RNG?

Better or worse than rolling them live?

All joking aside, they seem okay, I am traditionally not known for my rolls and they are not egregiously bad like roll 20s seem to be.

You may actually be the first to say that about the RNG here though to be fair the system laid out for AToW is more likely to hit the majority of average TN's so that helps.

Most people don't do the math to understand the standard deviation, I know my dice are bad but I also understand the probabilities so I'm not mad when I miss on 10s

While it has been slow I know, just to formalize this anyway, I will be offline for a couple of days. The earliest I will be back on is Sunday evening more likely Monday at some point.

10-4 man Gf is home now so I will once again have time

Officially back online and hoping to make RPoL a regular stop now. How's those answers coming?

Well lol would be coming a lot better if I had realized before right now that I had not hit post message for the answer I wrote a week ago

I've done that. Grin! Isn't it fun!

Can you put your character sheet in the character sheet under the link Character Details please for ease of referencing.

In reply to Shaman (msg # 31):

It has been done

What's the equipment question you had and before I answer on the Protocol Roll, do you wish to spend Edge or are you out at the moment?

My question was in regards to the tools of the trade optional rule found on page 255 and if that was in effect or not.
Tools of the Trade (Optional Rule): As an optional rule, a player character or important NPC can start play with a particular piece of equipment he has acquired while in the employ of a government or military organization. To refl etc this past ownership, the character may possess one item up to 2 levels higher in its Legality Rating than his Equipped Trait normally covers. Remember, however, that this piece of equipment technically still belongs to the organization from which the character received it, and not to the character himself
(though it may have been given to the character as a reward). The acquired item may even be stolen goods, or a trophy of past accomplishments. The gamemaster must decide which situation applies.

As for edge I think I've used one point on a demolitions check, and I will use a second point here to bump up this roll as well.

Let me ponder this for the rest of the weekend.

Also did you note the rank?

If you're referring to the Precentor I did lol. WHICH DID NOT MAKE ME LESS PARAONID ooc lol

I'll try to get moving on this on Sunday. It's been a very distracted week!

In reply to Shaman (msg # 38):

all good man it's your birthday week after all enjoy your time off!!

What were you considering if this were in play?

Precentor is common. Often followed by her division but there are no obvious identifiers as to what that division is on her.

So it's on you on how you want to proceed. ;-)

Fair enough, my real concern is if she is ComStar or WoB., and as for the equipment thing, the thing I was looking at was the Flash Suppressor JAF-05, which is the ComStar/WoB improved one but with that price tag at $1,000, I probably can't afford it anyway.

Ah okay... yes there is evidence she appears to be WoB.

I'll consider the item. One doesn't always have to afford it. :P Let me look at it tomorrow and get back to you since it isn't a current priority.

Lol not saying I have a ComStar enemy Precentor but I am saying I have a Comstar enemy Precentor. Sounds good to me would free up a bit of cash for other items and it's a straight upgrade on the suppressor I purchased. When I made the character better attribute left me with less cash. Gonna have to use those contacts a lot likely.

Yup. Well now that my head is clearer once this move is finished presuming it finalizes I should have the energy to get into detail properly.

Yeah I kno the feeling reviewing a lot of my early responses i was so busy trying to be cautious i wasnt giving you much to work with narratively

It's all good. I wasn't really with it as I am starting to understand now. I really need to take the rust off now that I am not trying to think through a foggy swamp of mental morass.

Sorry for the delay. I was wrapped up in looking at a purchase and now coming back to this, I've decided to take a slightly different approach so the big post I thought was coming is postponed for a bit.

You can either go with basic information on Perdition up until say mid-3066 for what you know or you can try a memory test where you may remember more or could remember less.

Let's try a memory test to remember more or less the joys of RNJesus embrace me! How does one do a memory test? 2d6, is it a form of int test?

Yes as per the statement under Intelligence. So you roll a single attribute test. Let's hope it isn't a low roll representing your brain drawing a blank. :P

Well considering all I have is brains and willpower here goes nothing

To answer your question here rather than on Facebook as I prefer to keep information here for ease of finding.

He's heard rumors about a unit or organization within WoB referred to as Manei Atrocis or "Bloody Hands" that have been operating in the Periphery. First encountered on Helios but he has no solid information ....

Yet ...

That was rather my suspicion that basically nothing would be known outside of what's in covert ops. Would have been tough to keep them a secret if every Wob field agent had been privy to their inner workings.

Grin. It just is a matter of time.

Is that a manei domini? Oh yes they are building it now!!

It started out one way and evolved...easy to learn as a player but your character knows what he knows.

A more detailed post is coming. Some time this week once I get a few things sorted.

Does Wickton have a particular destination in mind?

Well priority #1 is getting some where safe to read the cover identity then disposing of it properly priority #2 is getting my equipment and getting on mission. Therefore I'm leaning towards heading home but I do want to ensure I'm not followed.

I'll be using a roughly standardized clock for easy reference to your question. By the time you get home, it's just after lunch. Maybe around the equivalent of 1pm our time.

Give me a perception check to assess your home. How quickly are you checking your home?

Thoroughly haha, and yeah makes sense. If I'm going to retrieve my equipment and potentially look at incriminating things I want to be sure no one bugged my house while I was out.


17:03, Today: Wickton Leon Rodriguez rolled 13 using 2d6+4 with rolls of 5,4.  Perception Test.

Working on a post. I don't recall what I ruled but I will see if I can find it as I usually make notes. :)

Yeah, I don't either I usually do. Looking forward to it!

Sure. Go ahead.

Ideally I'll never have to use it but still better if I do that its quiet.

I haven't forgotten about this. New deadline to meet delayed responding but I hope to get the next session up this evening.

No worries dude, I check daily, so in generally almost on top of it.

Nod. I figured you still were. Unfortunately, tonight is getting deferred. I ran out of energy.

Kids these days just don't have the stamina they used to. Back in my day! Lol jk jk

Chuckle.

Added one more link to the options so you may want to look at that post again.

10-4 Big River

Grin. Enjoying the small info dump? :P

Lol Yeah I am so much so i forgot to indicate for you to dump more info

I should mention, any locations or persons so named in this briefing, you can query for more information on.

Oh okay that is good to know, Tommorow evening I'm going to start making either detailed notes or a mind map on.

Things have gotten a touch busy down here but I hope to get the next post out in the next 24 hours. How's the freezing rain that way?

It was bad this morning people forget how to drive one of my friends gor in an accident but shes fine, I dont have to go into the office. Sounds good man I'm checking daily.

Merry Christmas! Stay warm up there! It's nasty enough here without thinking what it's doing up there!

Oh lord I missed this, a very belated Merry Christmas to you as well Bruce!

No worries. You were a touch busy getting healthy. :P

And now we have a New Year! New You! New Blake! ;-)

Well 2/3rds of that is true Blake is perfect therefore he need not change.

I probably won't be there Sunday but good luck but we'll see. Kick Ass!

Haha on the 5th day I shall look to the east! No worries man we will set something uo soon either way.

Yes we will.

What time does it start again though I doubt I will be up that early? Laugh. 10:30?

Yup should run 10:30-3:30, although I have noticed my opponent is often a little late.

He used to live in Canmore. I'm not sure if he does anymore but that was the usual reason he was "excused" by others. It wasn't an excuse I bought and after you've been coming from Edmonton it certainly doesn't hold water.

Hahaha, well he did manage to only be about 5 minutes late, so that's something.

Hope all is well on your end.

Yeah I am doing fine I was a productive member of society this week and helped out a struggling single mother.

How's that productivity going? Enjoy your games tonight!

Was going pretty well till covid hit but everyone is on the mind here now.

I am considering a full reboot to this and moving the needle on the timeline as well as a possible rebuild on your character with more starting XP.

In reply to Shaman (msg # 92):

I'm good with that! I wouldn't mind the challenge of a full reboot and a new situation and timeline.
