Out of Character chatter

Oh! Well, in that case, yes!

Ok so wait... everything is a maneuver? Like, I understand more complex ideas regarding combat like throws, sweeps, pressure points, and joint locks... but if a simple grab is a maneuver you need specialized training in, what exactly does the melee skill actually cover?

I'm still chewing on it. It does seem silly, as I'm having to do some mental gymnastics to justify it.

That's fair. Just caught me off guard a bit. Wasn't expecting to need to be Royce Gracie just to catch someone by the wrist or put a hand on their shoulder as they walk by/away. 😂

Alright, Grab is considered part of Basic Tool Training, so all player characters and non-ordinary NPCs should know how to use it.

Melee is used to land a blow with all Melee weapon attacks, which includes Improvised and Natural Weapons as well as Unarmed Strikes.

Maneuvering is used to execute more complicated, well, combat maneuvers.

Would it take an action to go look at the tags of the bag on the carousel?

It takes an Action to examine a single bag's tag.

I have to say, the use of a slur by Peter character is making me uncomfortable. I guess it's not necessarily an expletive (and I don't mind expletives that much), but like... maybe we can do without ethnic/nation-based insults? :(

I take it I probably shouldn't call him Drago then, eh?

Erm, never heard that one. Not sure if I even want to ask. :'D

@FlyingSucculent Of course! Why, I even made it a rule, and I broke it. I'll change my response now.

Hey, if you ever need a Russian insult that isn't too much, I can offer. :P Like, kozel/kozyol ("goat") would be fitting here, it is a pretty common one.

Rocky 4. Ivan Drago.

Isn't he a fictional character? I don't think comparing someone to a fictional movie antagonist is quite as bad. So yeah, no problem with that.

It's still used as a derogatory term for Russians though. Pretty much calling them big dumb brutes. Lol

Oh. Well, guess then it is a little sketchy... Though it also makes me think of someone calling me that, and I am as far from a heavyweight boxer as it gets; that would just be funny. XD

Pretty good map. What did you use to make it?

If you go to make world maps however, I recommend

There is a new post in the recruitment thread for this game, by the way!
