Yeah, none of us died off it...thinking about it, have any players actually died yet? Not counting those who have left the game that is.

Well, lets not jinx it.


But yeah, so far so good. Just have this massive wave of hostiles to deal with. Good news is, our defense batteries get to give them a shellacking on their way in.

You mean the ones that didn’t just get blown up.....

Those would be the ones

He probably jinxed somebody......but hey I am thinking of doing a prologue session where the PCs are AUL pilots attacking Macross Island in 2007 (or 2006) but ultimately get shot down, captured and spend their time at a black site (located within the testing island) until the space fold and are now sitting in the brig on the UES Macross.

So if you get wasted maybe you can make an ex-AUL pilot who is still technically a prisoner but due to the shortage of pilots fly combat sorties. Oh and you’d get a bright day-glo orange flight suit, with a white helmet that has red markings indicating your a prisoner.

Aww, come on! I can't be that bad right?! ;)

Like the idea of prisoner pilots, just not sure I can play as one...still, might give it a shot "if" I die.

Well you didn’t write a letter to your family prior to the sortie.

A player actually did this and got Nat 20’d in the 1st or 2nd round of combat. The only thing left of the PC and his mecha (a MBR-07 Spartan the player asked to be painted day glo orange) was a semi spherical depression in the deck of the Robotech Factory.

Errr...what? I don't get it.

You didn’t jinx your character by writing an IC letter in game prior to going into combat.

Oh, right. Now I get ya :) so true though.

Just a heads up for some of you, I do have two other active games running here on RPOL.
Dead Reign: The First Survivors
link to another game
This game is set a few weeks after the dead have risen. As such only the civilian occupations can be selected.

• Player Group One: Are currently at the player groups safe haven after transporting a wounded PC back from Hoover dam. They are in the process of getting ready to go back again and help those out at Hoover dam. I have two NPC’s in this group I can let people take over/barrow.
• Player Group Two: Are currently at Hoover Dam trying to kill Zombies and Death Cultists. I have two NPC’s in this group I can let people take over/barrow.

Ninjas & Superspies: UNified Intelligence Taskforce
link to another game
I have two PC groups active one in Antarctica, and the other in Auckland, New Zealand. I have two player slots open, but I can only really link you up with the group in New Zealand.

Overdue, but, welcome on over Grim (Mr. Ebil AUL pilot) !

Good to have ya.

Oh? A new player? Most welcome!

New to this game but has been in my games for a long time.

In reply to Darkside Trooper (msg # 21):

Neat anyway :)

It’s the same player who ran Omar Krett in the dead Robotech game.

Oho? The crew are getting back together :)

and there goes my chance for a promotion ;)

I think you're ok in that department.

If they promote a convict above Jack then things must be really getting desperate on the good ole SDF-1

If they are willing to take convicts and put them in the cockpit of a veritech they must be desperate.

Well, fair enough. Considering how many NPC have died so far we must be understrength.

Is it the usual aimed shot rules to hit the small "window/glass" where the zentreadi can see from?

I believe so.

Would it be worth it though? A single d20-5 and the enemy can still dodge it right?

In reply to Jack O'Neil (msg # 31):

I think so. Any 'called' shot roll that might miss the intended 'specific' target but still hit's the overall target will do damage to the Main Body instead.

E.g.

Called shot Sensor Eye: Roll of 15 vs dodge of 13 (lets assume very small target -5)
Total to beat the called shot is a 10 vs 13 = Miss the Eye
Total to beat hitting the overall target is 15 vs 13 = Hit the Main Body instead

At least that's my read. DST please correct me if I'm wrong.
