OOC - Ongoing Game Questions

Damn, so many options.
I didn't expect so much... Depth to the weapons.

Since that is the case, aside from dr-45 which if I understood that right can be changed from one to the other...
How are the mechanics for switching from rifle to a sidearm during combat?
I'd assume there would be differences in effective range or something?

LOL. Yeah, this is a mid-crunch game compared to D&D, but they definitely made a lot of hay out of splatbooks with new gear. :)

So, as far as I can tell, the Dragoon is the same stats either way. The only change is whether you use Ranged (Light) or Ranged (Heavy) to shoot it. Losing one maneuver to switch between the two is not a huge deal, but it does mean you can't spend that maneuver moving, aiming, etc. (But you presumably would only need to do this once, and it assumes you didn't prepare for the combat ahead of time.) There are otherwise the potential social ramifications that I alluded to (if Esidrix is enforcing such things). It's also important to note that the Dragoon only fires out to Medium range, so a dedicated rifle is better if you want to be able to shoot out to Long. So I guess that's the sacrifice you make for the versatility.

Depending on where things go, there's always options for 'no weapons/pistols only/knives only/anything goes'.

Alright.
So I have a rifle.
So if available I'd get the boonta blaster and a concealment holster.
If you can't find it, it will be the military holdout blaster

Looks like Creds found the holster for 15% off (30 credits total).

He nearly tracked down a Boonta Blaster, but it had just sold to someone else. (Complete wash on that roll.)

He did find the Military Holdout Blaster, for 10% off (450 credits total).

2 Threat remaining for Esidrix to spend!

:D We like threat.

Coolio, thanks.
So out of curiosity, threats are like disadvantages the gm can throw at us at some point, right?

I thought the plan was to trade the spice for the tech or whatever it is we came here to get. Then if they dont want it in trade,sell it?

I was thinking we'd use the spice as a bargaining chip. Probably depends on who can tell us about the tech and where to find it.

My understanding was the spice was to be liquidated for cash, then use that to get at the tech. Easier to bargain for tech with cash than with spice, I think. But if y'all want to run it the other way, that's possible. Creds just can't help with the negotiations (for RP reasons, but also because that's Streetwise rather than Negotiation).

Let's get the lay of the land then we can make a plan

I wanted to apologize for my absence over the last week. I've been tending to a sick spouse. I hope to be able to post again soon, but it'll likely be intermittent until after Christmas.

Please feel free to have my character act as you need to keep things moving. Happy Holidays, everyone.

Happy Holiday and no worries, I imagine everyone's schedule is off at the moment.

Bleh. I've had a health scare that has put me in more tests than I would like. Sorry for the lack of posting. More tests coming, too, so my schedule doesn't look much better until the weekend.

Creds would like to buy some survival gear and a new scarf, but I'm unable to find the time to look through the massive gear list right now. Would it work that we advance to the ship, and we buy retroactively? Sorry again.

Take care of yourself sir. Providing you don't buy a 'scarf of protecting me from that last GM trap' the moment it gets sprung. I'm sure the retroactive buying will work.

Take a success since 'This is the kind of place that has adventure stuff.'

Woohoo! Need to make a new avatar for this leg of the adventure then. :)

I'll be traveling for the next two weeks, not sure what my internet access/time will be like. Please don't wait if something is needed from AD-hoc, Esidrix can play on my behalf. Please don't let Ken get him shot (I fear it may be AD-hoc's turn) 😂
