Updates/Deadlines

10-4. Thanks for the heads up.

Ruh roh. I didn't know what bowlofspinach was rolling and rolled a galvanic engineer (which is what it looks like bowl is playing). What powers did you take? I don't want to step on toes but I can't figure out how to see other players' char sheets and hadn't seen that's what you were making til I spent 2 hours rolling my char up lol.

Yeah, I posted my idea somewhere in some thread but I don't even remember where so no wonder you didn't see it :D

I didn't take Galvanic Engineer, just regular engineering/support stuff.
For my edges, I have "Journeyman Tinkerer", "McGyver" and "Mr. Fix It"

We might both be going into the engineering side but we should be different enough, I guess.

Oh cool. I actually deliberately avoided that side of stuff. Sounds like we won't overlap. I remember you saying you were going to roll an engineering/support character, but the way your intro read I thought it was galvanic. Sounds good! I think we'll have good synergy

I'll check over your character today. :)

I'm posting a reply to each character's first entrance into the fort. If I haven't gotten to you, I will. :) Just FYI.

I'm just waiting on one more reply on the first Prelude thread and then we will move on. Hope everyone is having a good start to the week. Oh. LOVE each of your character's so far. :)

Hey, I still havent actually picked any equipment. Do you have a better list for this setting than the one in the generic SW rulebook? Because that one barely has anything useful in it

It's all good. The only thing extra it gave me beyond what is in SWADE was mostly "Tesla Tech" which I put under the Character Creation section. You'll see a thread called Gear. I was thinking of just having the idea that everyone showed up to the fort with whatever your person was getting by within everyday life and then after this little prelude move to equip everyone with their needs. I'm totally open to suggestions though.

Hm, I just thought you had a more extensive list since you told us how much money we have to spend but since that list is mostly not relevant for our setting, I have no idea how much money anything I would buy would actually be xD
Oh well

I'll check on that asap. At work RN, but I think...it starts you at around $500 at character creation? So, whatever you think would be relevant for a late 1800s/early 1900s type of era...Wild West, etc.

Yeah, I don't really have a fully extensive list for the era...just kind of go with whatever you all think would be relevant for your character up to the point that they arrive at Fort Ohm. From that point forward we will use the requisition option for specialized gear, if your character needs it.

I think the monetary value of things would still work out, even just using the price guide out of the core book. I'm not sure if that addresses the issue entirely or not, but I will look asap when I get back home today. :)

Maybe we could also use the deadlands setting as a source of gear and prices. The time periods are similar so that might be a good place for some extra splat?

True! We could roll with that. :)

Yeah, I just need some better, possibly period appropriate list because the one in the core book doesn't help me at all ':D
Where can I get access to the Deadlands equipment list, though?

At the conclusion of the Prelude, I was planning on finalizing Gear anyway. So, we can just handle that as GM & Player or I can put up a Gear list..? If not, just use SWADE, the gear I have here, or Deadlands as was mentioned. Either way, gear yourselves as you will up to the starting limit so to speak and we can make any additions (or subtractions) before we head out on the actual mission.

Again...that was just my overall plan. I'm totally up for whatever doing for you all! :)

I'm keeping a running list of NPCs and locations for easy reference under the thread Setting Encounter References. It will be a thread I simply Edit throughout our mini campaign. Reference as you so desire.

I will be coming with an update on the orientation today.

New Update to the Prelude! Gearing up!

I'm asking all my folks to forgive me for a few days. I had a friend commit suicide this morning and I need some time to process this. I will be back in a day or three. In the meantime, if you or someone you know needs to talk, PLEASE call someone! Send me a private message if nothing else. I am always willing to listen and I promise that it will remain confidential!!

Very sorry to hear that. Same here friend.

Hi everyone. Sorry I'm a bit slow with replies right now. Work is being a bear for me...it's our shipping season and heavy workloads are upon me. I'll respond as I'm able! Thanks for your patience!
