OOC - Ongoing Game Questions

Ken's got a straight YGG across Cool, Deception, and Negotiation so he's okay but not stellar. He'll probably focus on the more silly and deceptive bids to distract from what Creds is doing.

@crazybirdman, correct, no crates opened at the auction. So it'll be like Life Day opening presents once you get back to the Shipping office.

Doesn't seem to be a fair way to get around lots of dice rolling. This might be faster at the table, you guys good for coming over tomorrow? :P

Ok, so this sounds like some work, but I think with the dice roller it should go smoothly.

@mephistophillis - Have Ken make 4 Deception rolls against 1 Red, 2 purple. Since this is an extended 'Scene' if you succeed on a roll, your successes give Creds an UPGRADE to one of his dice for that rounds roll. No success will UPGRADE Cred's Difficulty. Pass your advantages onto yourself for the next roll.

@SavageBob - Make 4 Negotiation rolls against 2 Red and 1 Purple add a Boost from AD-hoc for his distractions and then either an Upgrade to your dice or the difficulty dice based on Ken's rolls for each of the 4 rounds.

If Creds has a simple success, it means you got the target crate. Lots of success means you purchased extra crates or got a great price or possibly both.

Failure on a round means you didn't get the target crate, but may have gotten others and lots of failure may mean you paid extra for the unwanted crate(s).

I know that's four single rolls, followed by adjusting based on results, but I think Ken can do all of his and then Creds follows up. Hopefully it doesn't turn into to much work. Let's say we're working with a Force pool of 3 light and 2 dark.

I'll start rolling. Will leave Force Pool for Creds but remember crate 14 is best!

@mephistophilis - Yiyar were arrested when they showed up at the beginning of the Auction scene.

Hey all, Had a family crisis yesterday. Made it through but I'm behind on work and my frain is bried - I'll try and be creative and ready to go Monday morning.

Yikes. Sorry to hear that, Esidrix. Glad to hear you're through the other side. No rush on posting; come back when you're rested and ready.

Agreed. We can miss pretending to play in space for a while so catch up with real life.

Absolutely. Prioritise.

Thanks all. I try not to post RL Stuff, but that was turning into an extended absence. Let's go space gaming!

Hope everyone that had a holiday had a good one. Thoughts on points spend and going forward?

haven't decided If I'm going to pick up a talent, or wait and work toward dedication and the Technician Signature Ability

Ken's picked up Quick Strike 2 and he's holding the rest of his XP. How would people feel about a more overt bit of larceny? Get in somewhere, steal something. Even get paid by the rebels to sabotage something? We could give them a discount but nothing's free...

Hmm, 20k credits. How does Ken go about finding a personal stealth field?

Creds can shop for people if it's legit gear. With two ranks in Streetwise, he can also shop for illicit stuff.

As for outright larceny - I'm game. Creds would go full Saul Goodman and help us launder the money.

@Mephistophilis IsoTech is a seemingly legitimate front company used to cover for Reom’s black-market tech operations. I would offer that you are in the right place to pose that question.

@ChrSch - No worries, you can always keep them for later.

Ken can't think of anything more exciting than a stealth field. He's going to approach Isotech to see if they've got any jobs that might need one and therefore which Isotech would be motovated to supply Ken a stealth field for. As part payment say.

Otherwise it'd probably be a jetpack and we know that wouldn't end well.
