OOC

I don't have the rulebook, only the quickstart, so I have absolutely no way to check if a character is correct. Looking like one of the premade characters is ok.

You will be an away team... but nothing is said about the ranks, but definetly no captain right now. Most episodes are about officiers, so ensign/lieutenant.

I find it weird how the adventure is played, normally at the start of each episode they throw up a moral dilemma, and by the end there is a conclusion or left hanging, but here it's just beam down and kill everything. Usually, RPGs show their best sides in their quickstarts.

I think it won't be fast, since we post at different times. You must be somewhere east America, I presume?

Question: if I have the books, can I make a character using the rules there? Assuming there's nothing in the character write-up that is not covered by the QS rules?

BTW. If it's not a problem, I'm calling dibs on a female Andorian :)

Re: OOC

The quickstart adventure actually does not have any role on a starship - which is rare in the Trek series - it's only noted that the captain sent down the away team, which is mostly the player characters - however, to uphold rpg traditions, and have some common sense, you two will be in charge of the away team.

How about we aim for November 22. for the start? I will have to leave early December, but I don't know the exact week yet.

Re: OOC

Okay, my character sheet is ready - aside from the values. I may be adding them a bit later or - if I run out of time - tomorrow. Everything else is ready for your perusal, GM.

BTW. If you require me to include a write-up of the Talents, I'll gladly do so (I may be doing that anyway, in fact).

Oh, and my character's name is Shremi Ansari. She's an Andorian who was adopted by a human family. Hmmm, are we going to share our character's biographies before play? :)

And regarding which NPC to drop, I suggest we drop Cuellas, because she overlaps with Shremi in an awful way.

Ok, so Cuellas will be dropped if nothing else happens. You two will be also in command, so you can give orders to the NPCs.

And also the trainwreck problem of the quickstart, the whole first scene is insanely railroaded, not giving any chance for the players to do anything, so I modified the adventure to be more user friendly.

Re: OOC

Sounds good.

Before I post, a thought regarding the away team: I know it's mostly a descriptive, but shouldn't we decrease Lenaris Los' rank and role? Right now, he's a Commander and the ship's XO. Shremi is the Chief of Security and she definitely wouldn't be giving commands to the XO...

I say we keep him, but we downgrade him to a Lieutenant. Then, me and Bianca could order him around, while he (being "eager and ambitious") tries to undercut our command. The Bajoran jerk ;)

Oh, and let's drop Hanor Del, because Bianca took his spot.

Re: OOC

Yes, NPCs will be Lt. or Lt. JG, while you will be LCs. Altough, I'm not sure Operations can take LC rank, we will just ignore that for now.

Bianca already took Lian Zhang's spot.

EDIT: Tuvok was LC, but he was Chief of Security, also a senior bridge officier, which is weird.

Re: OOC

Bianca, re: the away team. As I understand, the team is:

- Bianca
- Shremi (Chief of Security)
- Hanor Del (Lieutenant Junior Grade, Engineering)
- Lenaris Los (Lieutenant, Command)
- Natala (Lieutenant, Science)
- T'Prel (Lieutenant, Medical)

Basically, the characters from the Quickstart minus the ones our two PCs replace.

What's your specialization? So far, there seems to be this assumption you took over the spot of Lian Zhang, who was the Conn Officer. Is that correct?

We are having the year end card championship this time of year, so we spent last night playing and checking rules, I forgot about this game. :( We will do the same, and there is a tournament on the weekend, so don't expect me to write this time.

I will post a meta-resources topic, and keep it up to date, as good as I can with the QS.

As I understand both Threat and Momentum are group resources, while Determination is individual.

Right, the Runabout is indeed a shuttle, with warp capabilities.

Attacks work something like this: You roll for a ranged attack control+security to a TN of 2. If you hit, you roll the amount of d6 of the Starfleet sign in your weapon description, and read the result from page 5 of the quickstart.

One clarification regarding what was said above:

quote:

Technically, it's true, especially in regards to the QS, where no separate stats for weapons are given. It's worth noting, though, that the number of Challenge Dice ("special" d6 the game uses) is actually a sum of base weapon damage and a character's Damage Bonus (which equals the Security value). So, when shooting her phaser, Bianca rolls 4d6, as she uses Phaser Type 1 (2d6) and has Security 2. Shremi rolls 7d6, as she uses Phaser Type 2 (3d6) and has Security 4.

Re: OOC

Okay, question regarding present situation in the story:

Is it really strange to shoot at Romulans now? They attacked us. They might be retreating, but they did start shooting at us without provocation. Is it strange to fight back? Especially as the we're using a stun setting on the phasers anyway (none of us declared using lethal damage)...

Re: OOC

It's hard to say in this situation. The adventure has a lot of combats like this, and for some reason, the Romulans are unwilling to negotiate under any circumstances.

I was thinking on the following things: you were the ones to beam down to their actual position, and you were the ones who startled them. While shooting is overreaction, it's more of a suppresive fire rather a normal firefight. That's why the others asked if the shooting order still stands, since while it's not against any convention to attack fleeing enemies (it's considered manouvering, not surrendering), I think Klingons would think of it as dishonorable, and Federation as either immoral, or unnecessarily harsh (mostly DS9, Sisko did not even order to shoot the Jem'Hadar until it was inevitable to fight with them). Also, since the Romulans have a highly militaristic worldview, high chance they would be shooting at the opposite case! In any way, it could be a good unforeseen dilemma, to decide if it's OK shoot fleeing enemies in the back.

This is non lethal fire, so I think that getting some stun enemies for interrogation is not really dishonourable, but it makes sense to understand why they attacked without any warning.

Re: OOC

Bianca's second attack does not count, as she can only attack once per combat round.

QS does not say anything about stunning (what a surprise...), I would say landing a hit in game terms does not necessarily mean a hit in the narrative, like in D&D, otherwise no one would be able to move after the third combat scene. Both Uhlans have some Stress, I think it's better if they are only stunned when they reach 0 Stress. I think it also works nicely with the way injuries work. So yeah, you can order the others to keep them stunning as long as they can.

BTW. Regarding lethal and non-lethal damage - I might need to check the full rules for that, but I think that damage is usually non-lethal by default. And you need to declare the intent to deal lethal damage before making an attack roll. But I'll check and make you know.

Re: OOC

Games work better in an action-reaction manner. But man, this adventure is weird:

quote:
Once the Romulans have either been stunned by the away team
or retreated from their ambush (at the Gamemaster’s discretion),
allow the Player Characters to recover any Injuries if this is needed
then read the following aloud:
“Your combadges bleep with a communication from your starship.
As you respond, the captain’s voice tells you, ‘We’ve picked up a
new distress signal from the Susquehanna. She’s still out there,
and someone is alive and transmitting. Unfortunately, we’ve lost
contact, but at least we have something to go on. We’re departing
to intercept, but we need to you investigate the planet. Remain in
contact and we’ll rendezvous shortly.’


Soo many railroad plots.

One good thing with pbp rpgs, is that you can play as your time allows, no need to be constantly here. I still won't be replying next week, but after that we could try a bit faster game.

I don't have the QS yet again, but you are in a contested area, so everyone (Starfleet, Romulans, Klingons and locals) are all trigger happy, as I often point out, it's a very combat heavy adventure.

Shremi did not explain what questions she asks exactly, but the answer will be something along the lines you beamed down to the forward scouts' position, and took it as an immediate attack.

I'm not entirely sure why you rolled presence+security, but you didn't roleplay what you tried to do. It succeeded anyway, that's why I gave a quick overview about the answer.

Sorry, the whole thing happened because I did not have the QS at hand, and couldn't remember how the Romulans got here the first place.

Yes, sorry. I had a bit of weird weekend and a busy Monday.

GM, regarding my roll: Presence + Security was what seemed most appropriate? Interrogating prisoners, suspects etc. is explicitly covered by Security according to the full rulebook. As for Presence, it made the most sense, as Shremi was trying to press the Romulan to speak with her force of personality. She wasn't empathizing with him (which would be Insight) or trying to beat a confession out of him (which would be Daring). Sorry that I didn't explain it better and that I didn't RP it better.

Bianca, sorry for cutting in :) I just thought that, with Shremi being our ship's Security Chief, she'd be rather alarmed by crewmembers revealing to non-Star Fleet personnel our ship's mission goals... ;)

Regarding my roll - I think that Security is a skill set that covers all matters related to security, law enforcement etc. Not just fighting, but also investigation of crimes, interviewing / interrogating witnesses and suspects etc. The main rulebook has a lot of examples of Attribute + Discipline combinations, I can copy it for you guys, if you think it'd be helpful.

Regarding my roll - I think that Security is a skill set that covers all matters related to security, law enforcement etc. Not just fighting, but also investigation of crimes, interviewing / interrogating witnesses and suspects etc. The main rulebook has a lot of examples of Attribute + Discipline combinations, I can copy it for you guys, if you think it'd be helpful.


All right, I believe you. :)

Re: OOC

Sorry for taking that long to reply... Some player I turn out to be :\

Anyway - GM, is beaming the Romulan to the ship actually an option? We do have a brig there, right?

Re: OOC

I was thinking about making this an opposed roll, as well as using threats, but apparently the QS does not have any reference to these...

GM, if you need me to check anything in the full rulebook, I'll gladly do so.

Re: OOC

Probably what I'm about to say will be ridiculed by the next actions, but I feel that Bianca's reaction to the weapon aimed at her is quite.... Star Trek. :)

Re: OOC

Shremi, if you're fine with that, the rest of the crew also drops their weapons. With Bianca off for a few days, we might even wait for her.

Re: OOC

Actually, I disagree with this particular tactical choice. :) So, I had Shremi protest. She's the Chief of Security and she's not going to let her crew disarm themselves :)

Re: OOC

Keep in mind, that Shremi is indeed higher ranking than you, and can overrule your orders. Still, waiting for a roll to happen.

My roll is in. Sorry for a delay - there was all the Easter chaos, I also had some busy days...

Anyway, Shremi stood up to the armed people... and failed. Please don't kill her :)

Re: OOC

Actually, I messed up. If I raised the TN by one with threat, it should be only 2, not 3.

This Persuade Task uses Presence + Command
with a Difficulty of 1. This is a challenging Opposed Task
that only has a slim chance of success with 2d20, so other
Players may want to assist. To do this, anyone assisting
the character attempting the Task rolls 1d20 against their
own Presence + Command or Security. The assisting
characters add any successes they generate to the
character attempting the Task, so long as that character
scores at least one success. Only two Players can assist the
Task, because too many people talking at once will confuse
and trouble the ambusher.

Ahh, in retrospect, I should have mentioned the assistance, so we could check those rules too. Ok, so you only succeeded, so did not gain any momentum this time.
