Re: OOC Thread

Grigori:
Personally I think four is a really excellent number of pc for pbta. That said, there is often attrition in pbp, so having a few backups in case of unforseen dropout isnt a bad idea.

I'd be open for another 1-2 players, but don't think they're critically important


Mm. I agree about attrition... maybe seek ONE more...?

Mm. I'll wait and see what someone else's opinion might be...

Re: OOC Thread

Toss one more add out. See what comes but don't push it to much and lets go with the game. The next month is slow on here anyhow just bump it the second half of jan.

Also Duke has the survival pack and a 2 points powerglove.

Oh, yeah, we're going on, regardless.

So all that's left is Anchorite Tearful's stuff...

Re: OOC Thread

Sorry! Sorry-sorry.

The Anchorite regalia, the violet robes, are class 2 clothing: Uniform, impressive, and visor.

The Anchorite weapon is simply a long knife (class 0)

And of course, Anchorite Tearful has been in the outside before. A wilderness kit is appropriate (class 1)

Okay... what does the visor detect, exactly?
--Magnetic fields?
--Energy fluctuations?
--Gravitic anomalies?
--Heat? Ultraviolet?
--Mass?

(You might think "detect mass" is dumb, but it's great for --invisible things
--seeing through holograms/illusions
--detecting that an object is heavier/lighter than it looks (maybe it's gold, but painted-over! or maybe it looks like steel, but is really paper-mache!
--weak spots in a wall)

--light (in extremely low-light situations, in other words night-vision goggles)?
--motion-detection?
--hostile targets?
--other?




EDIT: Also, everyone welcome our new incoming Polymorph player, EDIT: Jay-Jay (or just Jay), short for JJMM1567-L!

Re: OOC Thread


Okay, moving on.

Everyone add your stuff (if any) to your character sheet.

JJ, you do that, and also put your stats for your True Form on your character sheet, too.

Re: OOC Thread

I'm thinking the visor is broad-spectrum, so IR / UV and any weird energy spikes, if that's good?

Yes that's fine.

Everyone note your Gear and stuff on your character sheets if you haven't already.

Go, JJ, it's your turn...

Re: OOC Thread

Welcome The Lady. The Duke likes you for being pretty. Sorry in advance if he'll break a few bones when he hugs you. Its an accident.

Leave the game open. Maybe some people flock here and if they do by themselves without an add they will most likely stick around.

Re: OOC Thread

I will leave the game open for now...

Here is an update on Stuff:

--Aesop: chose to choose no Stuff, which is fine

--Anchorite Tearful: chose Stuff but didn't post it in character sheet so I did it for her because I got tired of waiting for her to do it

Grigori: chose Stuff and posted it in character sheet as I requested

--JJ: chose Stuff and posted it in character sheet as I requested

--The Duke: chose Stuff and posted it in character sheet as I requested

--The Lady: has not yet chosen stuff but I have to admit she just got here compared to everyone else.

The Lady, please choose up to 3 classes of Stuff now. (See Stuff thread; ask me if you have any questions about choosing Stuff)

Can I choose nothing right now ... but use my Luck manipulation abilities during the story, so that the PC group can 'coincidentally' find stuff they need along the way (with a successful use of a Move?  obviously, a partial success will come with limitations or consequences to be dealt with)?


Otherwise:  can I add my picks to Grigori's vehicle, increasing it from whatever Class it is now, to a Class 2 with some lucky and unexpected features?  What luck!

I don't see why not...



If that's the way you want to play it, then it sounds like we're all ready to go/move on...? Yes...?

If so, post anything you want to post, and then the robot will show you out...




If any players disappear for too long, their PC will disappear from the game. If they return, their PC will return to the game, doubtless with some amazing story about where they went!

But I don't think it's been quite long enough yet for me to activate that happening...

Re: OOC Thread

To The Lady: Any thoughts on whether you're connected to The Church? I think it might be fun if you're part of what Tearful worships, but at the same time I understand if that's not something you'd enjoy.

Also, a heads-up: Come Sunday I'll be out of town for a week, and will have, at best, limited internet access.
