Re: OOC Cantina

Well, they're cheap in the short term. The cost of finding and buying ammunition all the time will pretty quickly outpace the cost of buying two power packs and a portable generator, though. Also Piercing damage bypasses personal shields, while Energy is explicitly what those shields are for!

Re: OOC Cantina

Luckily we've all got patience in spades when it comes to this game I think. I've been busy too but I'm in a lul right now so I'll use it to get Bril updated to Saga finally!

Heh. Three years into this game, I think we've shown we are indeed a super patient group. :D

Re: OOC Cantina

Heheh. Well, we're operating without a grid, so the speeds of your vessels aren't super vital right now except that you're both pretty zippy. There is a list of actions you can take in the core rules starting on page 170 (the pdf itself sees it as page 178 because of filler pages someone added with errata and such). You can take any of the actions listed under Pilot, and you'll get a +2 bonus from your droid co-pilot helping.

That should at least get you started on a place to look. Once you've got an idea of what the actions themselves are, you can ask me clarifying questions for stuff like what they actually mean and how to do what it is you want to get done. :D

Re: OOC Cantina

New update, I just yesterday went and bought a physical copy of Edge of the Empire. If we're a little shaky getting started with Saga Edition, then I might be able to parse the space combat rules in EotE easier looking at pages I can flip through rather than a pdf with pages that take half a minute each to load. Either way, I'm excited and determined to get us moving again. :D

Re: OOC Cantina

No worries! I was just offering to use the system we'd had in place already because everyone's character sheets are already finished, I would just need to replace Thweek's rolls with FFG dice.

Re: OOC Cantina

Hi guys!

I'm sorry I have been away so long.  For a time I mistakenly thought this game had run its course and that was my bad.   And I've been busier than I have been in real-life for awhile but that should all clear up by next week (I hope).

Long and short, Amaya should be able to stand with her friends soon enough. :-)

Re: OOC Cantina

Wonderful!

Bril, I leave it up to you: would you like me to reroll under Edge of the Empire, or do you want to respond using Saga Edition? I'm good with either, now that I have the book in hand and can better understand it. The nice thing about continuing in EotE is that everyone's characters are already done and I can just repost the pdfs of them I have.

Re: OOC Cantina

If I don't have to recreate Iaarkahr that makes life somewhat easier for me.

The Force, let me know if you would rather I converted my character over to make things easier for you.

Re: OOC Cantina

I think sticking with EotE, now that I'm able to get better grips on the parts of the system that were weighing me down without a physical book to flip through, is a much better idea. Less work for you, as we just pick up right from where we left off. I'll get working on translating us back over the next couple days, and I hope we'll get to hear from Bril and Zindra again soon.

Re: OOC Cantina

I'm glad you're here!

I've managed to put almost everyone's Edge of the Empire character sheets (in pdf form) into your character Descriptions. I just don't have Zindra's sheet.

Also, we've been missing Brilk'airn for almost a month now. Ideas on how to proceed?

Re: OOC Cantina

It seems we may have lost Amaya again, RL being what it is, which brings us down to Zindra and Iaarkahr as active players, and I have concerns about being able to go forward like that. I think this game may have to go on pause again, or possibly close down entirely. Though I don't like that second option because I'd still like to keep in contact with the players here, being that I appreciate all of you and would like to continue playing in games together once the universe conspires to let people have fun again.

Re: OOC Cantina

My sincere apologies for not being more available.  My mother's health is becoming more complicated and I need to double my eBay efforts to make up a financial shortfall.

I can try and be more present in the game.  But I would hate for the game to depend on my input alone.  There's a non-zero chance my spare time might decrease even further. :-(

Perhaps a recruitment drive...?

Re: OOC Cantina

It's alright, Amaya. I don't really want to recruit for a game that's been sort of in limbo for so long as it is. I was already kind of disheartened back in 2018, when we lost half the players out of nowhere, recruited more, and lost them too.

Re: OOC Cantina

Merry Christmas to all (or Happy Holidays as the case may be).  Every game I have ever been in has lost players and most end prematurely.  It is just the nature of the form.

Communicating by text alone is an ever-compounding series of diminishing returns.  So much effort to say so little.  Still, what keeps me going in these games is that PbP is great for writing and for asynchronous players.

This game will find its form one day or you will come up with one just as fine. :-)

Re: OOC Cantina

Yeah! The good stories and players make it all worthwhile, even if the games themselves don't survive forever. n.n <3
