Pesky and Alyn would you two be okay with another speech color? It looks like ooc talk to me and confused the hell out of me when you guys put ooc and ic in the same post.

I always favor adult rated games. Not because I want every post to devolve into a porno-shoot (I usually fade to black or grey even in adult games in those cases), but so that simply we have the most artistic license possible.

And yes I can go purple if you want.

Oops, I missed that.

Running goon has a knife stickin' out of him.

So the Stuff thread doesn't really define how many throwing knives I have.

I see this in my future:

Mm. I was imagining 3. But maybe that's just my imagination.

Maybe it'll depend on how your rolls go from now on...

In most PbtA games stuff like that has an infinte tag

The Duke is clearly a man of great intellect, empathy, and altruism.

I'm waiting for Pesky, who probably is distracted by the holiday weekend.

Nope, not distracted by the weekend.  Just didn't realize I was up.  Sorry about that.

Out of country until the 14th. NPC my heroics as appropriate.

Hey Pesky I think you get an xp for rolling that 6 before, because in this game even failure can be good. If a bit painful. :P

Oh thanks!  Completely forgot about that.

Semi-related question: do we start with any luck points?

Nope. (Where did you get the idea of luck points? That sounds familiar from some other game.)

From either Masks or Monster of the Week.
Yeah, I think it's from MotW.  Got my PbtA games mixed up.

Oh well!

I do happen to have Luck Points in another game i GM. That's why I was extra-curious.

Hmmmmm. Alyn's roll of 9 should mean that things go partially like he wants, but only partially.

But it's challenging to interpret that... what should "mostly successful" look like for this situation...?

Suggestions...?

Maybe it's successful in the moment, but the raider's follow through doesn't happen as intended?  He doesn't find his friends and 'tell them to scram on out of here'.  He gets some of his friends and tracks us down?  Something else?

I was thinking that it should be related to what Alyn actually did, not the result of the bandit's actions.

So like...maybe it comes back kind of mangled, but mostly restored? Or something like that anyway?

Or maybe Alyn takes a -1 on his next roll this scene as a backlash from the mini time-flux?

Manipulating time is bad. He has just created an infinite amount of bandits ripped to pieces and then send off to tell his friends to scram. So now you got a bandid walking off to tell his friends its time to scram. How long till those friends feel they are with enough to challenge these newcommers?

I'd probably use something like this if he rolled a six or less lol. Like the time effect got away from him or he lost control of it or had all kinds of unintended consequences. But he did roll a nine so it should be (mostly) what he wants lol!

This is exactly as he wants. The dupe got it and the gm can 'offer' a future problem.

I think I'm gonna go with this one... not necessarily THIS scene, but yeah, on Alyn's next roll.

Back. Now three knives in this raider. Down? Invincible?
