OOC - Ongoing Game Questions

We had a couple folks from the initial start of the game that I offered a 'first shot' at joining in. All were still not at a place to add another game. Xelforp had reached out and we'll fold him in at the first opportunity.

Welcome!

I'm following the happenings closely and enjoying the feel of this game!

Not that it matters as of yet, but I'll be away from home until Sunday - I'll continue to follow along. :)

Have we successfully evaded/outrun the nexu? or are we still in this encounter?

Your at the door way to the room, it's a little tangled in debris in the middle of the room - Round 2, You guys are up.

can I roll cool to try and get rid of some strain? Even though my character is not very cool :)

Yes - At the end of an encounter, each player can make a Simple (-) Discipline or Cool check Each Success recovers one strain. Furthermore, a good night’s rest generally removes all strain a character has suffered.

Thanks, I'll roll the check, since I don't think my character will technically be resting

on a planetary scale vs personal scale note,

isn't one Planetary scale damage equal to 10 or 20 Personal scale damage? You just suffer from set backs from trying to hit things that are tiny compared to the ship?

Not saying I want it to happen...but I wouldn't mind Ken vaporizing something

@valdattaMadun - It's the Silhouette comparison. The bigger the difference between firing ship and target silhouette determines the Difficulty. Your ship is Silhouette 4 while a person would be Silhouette 1. So that would be a diff of 3 and a Daunting (4P) shot.

To All: Guys, I feel like I've missed something. You were hired to find and rescue a guy - What are your other concerns?

I thought we were hired to bring back the secret tech. I was just wanting to check what these people were doing to get an idea of what the secret tech might be - rather hoping it wasn't a cargo of killer cybernetic nexu ending up with a situation like Han Solo in The Force Awakens having them rampage round the ship. Also hoping they won't kill us with their secret tech and steal our ship so trying to get an idea of their ideology/personality.

We seem to be a bit on the paranoid side :P

But there was this feeling I got that if the captain was alive, he may not want to be rescued and that this was the reason we needed to bring the droid: so that he would probably trust us.

Our team is also not built for combat at all, so any measure to avoid one make sense.

I am ready to continue though :)

Because aren't there others also after the ship? So we need to get them to trust us that we're not up to no good.

I feel like this is one of those moments that goes one of two ways, go in there without a care or hyper paranoia.

I am all for keeping the guard up in all situations but sometimes (especially in PbP) it does get to the extreme

yeah, that's a good point, let's go (it nothing else to keep things moving briskly) it's pretty hard to die in this game anyway

We can always narratively decide that our characters ask questions but skip the RP to keep thing moving ;)

Yeah, I have no problem with that, I was more looking for background information for flavour, we're going to go out and meet these guys anyway.

I didn't miss anything right, our only job was to get the 'special tech' and survivors right? Roem didn't give us an offer to extend to the captain?

I'll have to reread the beginning, but I think there was mention of sending another ship to rescue any survivors we found
