Re: OOC - Discussion

I don't have my JCoMars book handy--how do assists work in this system?

Re: OOC - Discussion

If you're capable of assisting then you get a single d20 instead of 2d20 for the roll.

If the person you're assisting succeeds then any of your success(es) can add.  If you don't get any successes, no worries, you just weren't of any assistance this time.

If you roll a 20 (Complication) then I might add something interesting to the success but it certainly won't become a failure.

Since only Nantas knows how to ride thoats only he is currently capable of assisting Aeryn with her riding.  But you may have an idea of another way Demetrius could assist that I haven't thought of.

Re: OOC - Discussion

I just realized that you're waiting on me and not the reverse.  :)

I'll have new post up this evening

Re: OOC - Discussion

Sure, just pick some bold action that fits the pulp genera and go for it.

Can you do something to direct the thoat away from the Tharks?  Or clear the way?

Can you get in front of the thoat and try to slow it down?

Can you leap on it's back and do something to bolster Aeryn's confidence?  Assist her somehow?

Hopefully she'll get at least one success this next time and can benefit from y'all assist rolls.

I will hold off for now--Nantas gave her a good 2-success assist.

Re: OOC - Discussion

Cool.  Let's see if she can generate at least 1 success so Nantas' assistance can be applied....

Re: OOC - Discussion

Apologies but I've been without power and water for nearly 2 days.  Winter storm leveled Texas.  My pool equipment froze solid once power stopped and it could no longer circulate the water; that can't be good.  Just hoping no busted pipes in the walls.

I'll hopefully be back and ready to post in another couple of days.

In reply to Demetrius Esper (msg # 157):

Hoping to have next post up tomorrow.  Things slowly returning to normal, though now we've lost water again.  At least I got to take a shower first!  Fortunately no cracked pipes in the house and power seems to be back permanently.

Re: OOC - Discussion

FYI: I'll be on a road trip this weekend; I may have time to post, but I may not. Worst comes to worst, the next post from me will be Tuesday. More likely than not, though, I'll post over the weekend at least once, just not on Friday.

Cunning+Reason to shoot the rifle?

FYI (again): Looking ahead to this week, I have to finish my current road trip (i.e. 14 hours on the road Monday) and then spend a lot of my week studying for a certification exam on Thursday. I will almost certainly not be checking in daily like normal until Friday.

I've found another JCoM game on another site that I'm going to participate in.  GM sounds experienced; hoping to learn more in it.  Still having fun with this one too and we've one final act to go

Cool thought! Key question: is it the same scene or a different scene as far as our momentum count?

Re: OOC - Discussion

Yes.

The goal here is to score at least 1 damage to each minion without taking any damage yourself.

Technically if they give up you're good too so you could always go the intimidation route (see Conflict Actions - Insults in the References thread).  Ha, or you could always save something like that for the end

As far as I can tell JCM isn't like Conan, meaning extra damage to one opponent doesn't carryover to the next.  I THINK you need to spend Momentum for that and given it's only 1 to take out an extra minion it's not terrible.

Want to see how this plays out.  I don't honestly think you'll have any trouble but dice could always go cold I suppose.  Maybe I'll get some Threat out of this ;-)

Re: OOC - Discussion

Why not... I'd say that if I disarm them they should feel beaten as well, even if I don't cause injuries... what do you think?
