Figured it out. Can see them now. I was using Brave Browser which is extremely protective. I recommend it for almost everything other than RPoL. For example, its been months since I've seen a youtube ad. Its usually pretty great.

Got to use a different browser for this. Which is fine.

Loved this!  Fritz is a shifty guy...

:P

:)
Watch your six!

Well if Nadia decides to put a missile up Fritz's tailpipe it wouldn't be the first time a player smoked another without ANY warning.

Hey everyone I got permission to post our game as a fanfic from Darkside Trooper. I would like to get, via PM, everyone's name or online handle so I can give you all co-author credit. My pen name at Fanfiction.net is Sir_Tannin. I plan on posting the chapters here for review a week before I post to Fanfiction.net.

Hi all. I'm joining the game!

More meat for the grinder.....

Hello and welcome ;)

Hello!

So is is safe to assume everyone wants to keep track of their kills for bragging rights?

Where do we drop our rolls? PM to the GM? OOC note in post?

Good question....I haven't gotten a 'how to post rolls up yet' for this game. I'll add the blwo for that

Your rolls can be a either an OOC note in post or in a PM within your post. The only thing I ask is to stat if it is a failed or successful roll, as well as how many raises you get.

If your 'skill' die is 1d6, then jsut roll 2d6 on the die roller, jsut pay attention to what the highest of the two rolls is. Do not combine them.
16:47, Today: Darkside Trooper rolled 5 using 2d6, rerolling max with rolls of 4,1.  shoot missiles (example).
4-8 = -4 FAIL

You can use the 'manual' field if your skill die is not a d6, and is a d8 to represent roll the d8, and the wild die.
16:49, Today: Darkside Trooper rolled 4,1 using 1d8,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 4,1.
4-8=-4 FAIL

I do have the 're-roll max' function enabled, so if you do roll the max it should roll again.
16:55, Today: (Fudged 1 roll) Darkside Trooper rolled 11 using 2d6, rerolling max with rolls of (6+4)10,1.
10-8=2 FAIL

So it looks like it is pretty hard to shot down a missile per the RAW....

Last but not least please keep track of your ammo. If say after several posts in combat and you haven't kept track, I'll have the weapon system malfunction.

Please disregard this message.  I found the information that I was looking for.

     I have posted the prolog of the story.

     Link:https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13589762/1/Robotech-Re-imagined-The-First-Robotech-War-Savage-Worlds

     Please post reviews on Fanfiction.net and as replies to this post. when I have the next chapter ready I will let you know.

    Pleases give me description of you characters? It will help with the reader being able to picture your charaters.

Since this isn’t a game being run on table top instead of the abstract ranges in the books should we just use feet/miles & meters/KM?

Being prior military and since the math is easier I’m more inclined to use the metric for ranges.

In reply to Darkside Trooper (msg # 49):

Carpenter trained by English craftsman and long time miniature wargamer.

In reply to Scott Masters (msg # 48):

I'll be able to send a character description over the weekend, I think.

In reply to Vincent Church (msg # 51):

thanks jus got a few seans to rewrite then I will post most likely on Sunday.

Bump?

Will get some stuff up shortly.

Got some posts up if you have questions (or concerns) please ask/state in OOC, this way if someone else has the same question they'll see your question, and I can answer all questions where everyone can see.

Sorry if I missed this in the notes- Rank...

• OF-1
• OF-1A

the 'A' rank. Is this higher or lower than the OF-1?

Thanks.

No worries

OF-1a is the lower lower rank. This is using NATO‘S universal rank structure so that individuals from different countries would know who holds the higher rank.

I'm a bit confused as to how missile works.   According to the page quoted, it is an opposed electronics vs the maneuvering roll of the target to get the initial lock, right?  Then the target has ANOTHER chance to avoid being hit by each missile fired, rolling maneuvering with a -4 (or -2) penalty.  Where does the 1d8-4 factor in?

I read over the missile rules from both books a few times, and i agree it is confusing....

The electronics roll is to get a ‘lock’ on to the target. (This is in SWADE & Robotech the difference between the books is how many missiles you can fire, Robotech let’s you fire one or all missiles when you succced). EDIT: This is an opposed roll. So you would have to make a electronics roll for each craft your trying to target. Each target then gets to make a piloting roll. If Attackers roll is higher they are ‘locked on” and can then fire a missile (or missiles).

The 1d8 roll is the missile being fired at the target (This is in Robotech).

The -4 is because the target is within the “3rd range band” or max range. (This is my understanding of how range works in Savage Worlds)

The target does get a chance to evade each missile. (The formula for that from the Robotech book is piloting + handling - 4)
