OOC - Ongoing Game Questions

Question on dice rolls and your GM style. If we know what we want our character to do, should we roll the dice, (we would be guessing the dificulty) or wait for you to confirm the skill and difficulty?

If you're pretty sure of the difficulty and skill needed, go ahead and build the dice pool. If you're not sure, PM or ask a side question. Either way, I can always roll an extra die or subtract one of the ones from the result. Or, if it's a critical situation, I'll just ask for a re-roll with an updated dice pool.

The Longshot

Lantillian GX1 Short Hauler

The GX1 is designed as an inexpensive luxury craft, with very comfortable amenities and with a decent cargo capacity. It became popular with free traders and smugglers due to ease of engineering efforts - despite poor initial sales numbers.

Do you want more streetwise or knowledge check for what information (or misinformation) we have about the job?

For the team,

Anybody has some gunnery/agi for the ship's turret?

Ken has Agility 4 but no skill in Gunnery so he could have a go.

Ship plans:

The images aren't embedding correctly with the google drive sharing link. I was able to copy/paste the link and view the images though.

is making sure the engine is ship-shape mechanics or perception?

Checking the ship over would be Mechanics - average.

Searching for Tracking devices or finding the smuggling compartment would be Hard Checks, also for the Smuggling compartment add a Setback die - Someone did a good job with them.

If anyone has advice on getting the Links for the pictures to work better, I'd love some help with it.

I think you need to use google images, not google drive?

Added the rolls to my last post

In my game, I upload to flickr then just copy the image address and paste into the image field.

Thanks for the image information. I asked out on the site forums and was given a Guide. I've got a Dropbox, and those instructions worked like a charm. :)

Do we want to role play the introductions or just 'yadda yadda yadda' it?

I like the idea of roleplaying the presentation but I don't want to slow down the start.

Why not open an extra thread for the crew interaction?

@Crew - The games for you guys, if you all enjoy role-playing the introduction, then I'm great with it. My personal favorite game session was when we took a week's vacation on a resort planet after some harrowing escape from the Empire. The only time the dice came out were when we played Stump the Bartender, the GM kept rolling Knowledge Bartending to make the drinks we requested.

At the same time, if the majority want to fire up an RP thread outside of the main story thread, we can do it as well.
