The OOC thread

I believe I'm done with char sheet, though I will need to understand how to set up to be most usable in combat . Having weapon with bonus +1 do I roll 3d6+3d6+1d6 when attacking with either scimitar or knife?
3 (strength) ability dice
3 (combat) skill dice
1 (weapon) dice

Also can you explain what is this needed for on your character sheet? Is it possible to have condition that do not allow to use FA, SA or any of FA ?

Exactly. You have to keep dice coming from Abilities, Skill and Gear separate. It's important when you push your roll. When you get 1 on Ability die - you get damage to that ability. When you get 1 on skill die - fortunately nothing more happens. But when you push and get 1 on die provided by gear bonus - the gear breaks down by the amount of 1s, loosing gradually its bonus. And when gear has 0 bonus left because of that - it's unusable and have to be repaired.

Slow Action, Fast Action, Fast Reaction.

We coined our own term of 'Fast Reaction' - as way of describing that we 'bank' slow or fast actions for later in turn.

got it, thanks.

Could Faramos parry the attack ? Or boar is like monster and PC can't parry it attacks? Or something like it?

You can parry. =)

Why +2 for parrying? Sounds great, but just curious from where it comes?

BTW: I just realized how mechanics of this game are thematic!

What I mean: even though I don't know the exact stats of boar (and don't want to look in GM Gide, to not spoil the fun of discovery for me) by it's attack I can see at least how much strength it has and had - and on the table it's represented physically by the amount of dice. And when it will get some wounds... it will be less and less dice:) Nice:)

From the players book, pg 92. =) As the boar is using its own body in the attack (slow action: punch/kick/bite) its more vulnerable to parrying (gives you a +2 bonus).

Makes sense for me, as it must try harder to avoid your blade when attacking.

Make perfect sense! All clear now. Thanks.

Actually, you should have a weapon with the parrying feature to parry. Otherwise you receive -2 when parrying. This cancels the bonus, but you can still roll, albeit with no modifiers. =)

Yeah... I see that.... those rules about parring could be written better and in one place (you have to read about unarmed attack to see full picture). But I think we have figured it out now:)

1. Love your descriptions!

2. So how much Encumbrance those "4 meat and 2 pelts" use?

1 each, for a total of 6. You were over encumbered. But as you gave the 4 meat for Brenda to cook, you now just need to write the 2 pelts in your gear section.

After she cooks, you will be able to split the food among yourselves, increasing the food dice. She cooked 2 in the evening (enough for you and Nindia to have a D6 again) and will likely request you to wait a little in the morning, while she cooks the 2 remaining meat. A boar is big! =)

Ok, so noted pelts and setting my food to d6. It immediately makes Faramos feel better - having some food:)

BTW? I guess we are in the forest hex, above road? But you didn't have time to update the map? (thats completely ok!) Yes? Just wanted to be sure where we are.

Recently I was thinking about making such new game on this site:

as I think we have similar styles of play: I wanted to us if you would be interested in something like this? And if not: I would like to know why? :) Thanks!

I did saw it, was tempting, but there are two aspects of RPG I've found that I don't like : sci-fi and role-playing a children.
Even if "a little sci-fi themes" means I could make my PC to not understand anything of science, thus avoiding the need to do the BS-science posts, I just don't want to be playing a children in RPG game where that children may die if my dice roll badly.

Oh... thats interesting! As not being native speaker I didn't think it could be taken as playing as child - I meant descendants of royal family, but adult ones. And you can always play i.e. old general - family friend and trusty loyalist.

And about Sci-fi elements... it is meant in the way of "S3 Expedition to the Barrier Peaks" - but not exactly this module - so the adventures will expect that PC don't know too much about science and to them it will be more like magic. For me it was perfectly done in Thorgal comic books, but I don't know if you know them (they are amazing!).

Well... I guess I will have to edit that post much more. Thanks for feedback!

Thanks for the invite, but unfortunately I am at my limit for games. If a day had 30 hours, though...

No problem. I completely understand this! You will be always welcome to join later if # of your games would drop:)

asking an opinion.

Do you think FLEEING were the best choice? I mean tactically, not RP-wise
As far as I understand both Nindia and Brenda had very little chance to survive one more fear attack without getting broken (wits)
We probably could have taken ghost in one round, but I'm just not used to kill monster in one round in RPG games. Perhaps this one is different?
