OOC/Off Topic

Antiproduct just suggested me to start a Discord for this campaign. Is it something you'd be interested in?

YES. I don't have the knack to send private messages here and forced to mail them. I do know how to do such in Discord. I also find it a nice place to chat about the campaign and such too.

I'd be up to join a Discord. I'm on it all the time (or at least my notification gremlin lurks there).

And yes I do torment Qralloq on Discord about Trudy and Nero. It never ENDS. Mwaa ha ha.. (Sorry DM part of me took over.)

Alright, Discord set up. Invitation link (lasts only 24 hours): https://discord.gg/CzqRNuC9

I was wondering if for the next fights, you'd prefer a battle map with counter system. I sort of can approximate a VTT using google docs for pbp games. The only reason I didn't tried it yet for this FS game was the trouble of getting counters for the various FS races. As I was doing an internet search for FS images, I quickly realized that I'd be limited to the illustrations in the books, the vast majority of which are in B&W, which would contrast greatly with the colored background and the players' counters...

But if you're still willing to give it a try in (mostly) B&W, I'm game to try it.

Something to aid visually can help. Personally I'm lost in pbp fights without a map yet.

I'm happy with theatre of mind, but a b&w map is a step up, and can certainly help identify threats better.

Hard for Trudy to get shot when you can't see where Trudy is...grumbles..

Theater of the mind works for me though maps are always nice Especially as my mind can be a scary place.

Okay, I'm gong to ask you to put your chance of success as part of your roll so I don't have to check your character sheets all the time. If you wonder which attribute should be used for your roll, ask me or suggest one to me, and I'll make a call/tell you.

Yeah I ususally do put the DC on it.. but that one was at least all low or high..

Okay sir.

So you guys are heading back up or are you continuing down stairs as per the original plan?

I'll defer to those with free will, but I'm for going down before we get blowed up

Troubleshoot System (p.50) will work. It takes 1/2D supplies and takes 30 minutes or so to do. Of course, the Thief skill and the use of a security kit would be faster...

FYI Life has been a real kicker for the last few months. I thought it would be back to normal but it has not. This has caused me to drop about half my games here. Fortunately this is one I wish to keep going with. This is not the only thing I have had to drop so I am hoping that with these changes I will be able to focus more time on the games I have remaining.

Life is often nastier than the Dice Lords...

Glad to see you're still with us.

I was supposed to start working more as well, but when I noticed people rushing to use public transportation as soon as the restrictions were lifted, I told my boss I didn't want to risk starting on Fridays right away...
People don't seem to understand that even though vaccinations are well underway, return to normalcy should be slow and progressive. I'm almost expecting a new spike in cases...

Still need Sorrack's Nero's, and Mesec's pics for counters.
