I think the setup is great!
I'm already in a complicated situation with my relationships/responsibilities thanks to you ':D

I agree that the first post was gold :)
The only tip I have only is to generally try to keep all players moving at roughly the same pace. That seems to be one of the challenges of PbP that is different from a real live session

For my ability SFX, I'm not sure whether it needs to be rolled for or not:
Quote:
To use a Special Effect that’s listed on your sheet, just spend a Plot Point. You don’t need to roll dice or succeed at a Test.
This sounds like I don't have to roll but I'm not sure if that is just to activate and if in order to actually affect the opponent, there needs to be a roll.
Quote:
A few Special Effects allow you to affect a lot of people at once. We call this a sweep effect. When this happens, you’re forcing everybody in the area to make a Test. Roll your own dice (including the Ablity die) instead of Trouble. Each affected character must win the Test to avoid the outcome, which is usually Stress.
This is the closest thing I can find but it only concerns effects that target multiple people. I would assume targeting a single person works the same but I'm not sure.

FX let you effect the plot by spending a plot point so you dont need to roll.

You just did a big thing (Like Clark catching a car, or stepping infront of a hail of bullets or a bus to protect someone)

Sweep effects are a bit different those you roll but can effect groups of features or extras.
Oct 29, 2019 5:53 pm
That's the way I read it, too. Sweep effects allow a roll because they affect EVERYONE.

I think we might do one reply from everyone to the current bombshell, then I'd like to wrap up this scene, unless anyone has anything they want to accomplish with it.

I have a few ideas for people for the next scenes, but please let me know if you have any ideas for your characters. My ideas include:
- Eli talking to Connor about Brennan
- Jack checking in with Kurk
- Will finally speaking to his mother

If there were any dangling hooks that anyone wanted to follow up on, Jack chatting up the young woman, Richard and Bella, anything with Malachi, etc. let me know. I don't want to end prematurely, but I also don't want it to go on without purpose.

I'm not really sure what Will's doing in Scene 1 other than being there to watch his friend. I'm good with it being over for him right now.

I'm good with whatever scenes for Will.
Nov 5, 2019 6:09 am
If that's what he's planning to do, maybe Eli should talk to Will about the money before we end the scene.
Nov 5, 2019 7:52 am
FIne with me, I was just going to reply to the girl and wait for the bombshell. He definitely wants to check on Kurk !
I posted a wrap up for jack that could work as an episode end point as well :)

Okay, I think this is mostly wrapped up once Veronica and Eli shut down Bella's request. I have a few things lined up, but we can do a Eli asking WIll for money scene or whatever anyone else thinks is needed for their character.
Nov 6, 2019 1:49 am
I will let Eli answer it might be interesting if they are both there.
Nov 7, 2019 3:00 pm
Okay, so while we're waiting for Squadfather44 to post a reply, does anyone want a specific scene I can start preparing for them next so we can keep things moving?

Jack checks in with Kurk
Eli and Will discuss finances

anything else for anyone else?
Nov 7, 2019 3:12 pm
I'm in a couple of games with Squad and he hasn't been active the last days in any of them. I assume he has a lot going on right now and is slower with posts because of that.

I'm not sure what would make the most sense for Richard at this point. Maybe a scene with Ms. Parker since he got some money from Eli but I think it would make more sense for him to wait at least until Eli talked to Will.

I could do a regular job for her, getting money from or intimidating someone that I don't personally care about. It could show Richard's bad side but I'm not sure how much drama potential is in there.

I could have a scene with Alexis (and potentially Fiona as well). Maybe one of them has some problem that they want my help with.

Or I could be looking for info on Scarface, although I don't really have any contacts that could help me with that. Except backdoor into Wanneng, possibly. I could see if they have any info that could be useful for me.

Basically, I don't have anything in mind that I really need to do at the moment so you can just go with whatever you want.

If there is considerable time passing between scenes, I would probably have reported the events to the hive mind and tried to use it to gather information (on scarface, Eli and such)

It can be as much time as you want. We could go with Jack checking in with Kurk immediately after leaving Jessica's. We could go with later than night, the next day, or whatever works.

I'd say next day or two, since he is a busy man :D
(but I need those meds "tomorrow" right?)

Right, we have the meds trade to take care of.

Squad messaged me yesterday and let me know he has some irl stuff going on and might be absent for a few more days
