@KCC for the NPCs you suggested 1d4 pieces of gear. Would these be from the Scavenging tables? Or from the 1d6 NPC Gear table on page 150?

@Qralloq Last time, I believe we used the scavenging table, just to give a wider array of stuff at camp!

I think most of ours are consistent, a watercolor pastiche. Windyridge's a little less so but not glaringly divergent.

Yeah, everything seems pretty good so far! More cohesive than the last game. NPC’s will probably feature at the start a lot, and then you guys will presumably have to venture out of the haven for whatever reason.

Alright! All done. Bille-Faye is submitted, I dropped my NPC anchor into the NPC thread and must admit I'm a little giddy about the trouble he will bring us.
What remains? Relationship and PC anchors, right? I'll start:
Billie's Anchor: TBD (Maybe Shayna, for advice on Tracy)
Richard: Don't know much about him yet
Shayna: Tough as nails, seen a lot. Pretty useful to have around.
Owen: Moody weirdo. Wonders if he might be able to help with Tracy.
Angela: Don't know anything about her yet...

Pssst, the IC thread is still locked. Also, how big is this pontoon thing we’re on? A bunch of small boats lashed together?
Jul 14, 2024 4:35 pm
Nice catch! Oops.
Yeah, we can say it’s big enough to house 8 people barely. It can be one longer one or two bound together! Someone can insert that fact into their post and it shall be so!

Great question, and stretching my knowledge of pontoons. I was imagining it as a kind of lake/river tour boat.
If this kind of vessel usually has a small cabin beneath, then that’s fine.

I don't know anything about them either! A little Googling seems to indicate there are a variety of types, but they really aren't very big.
Jul 15, 2024 7:20 am
For the sake of ease, why don’t we say that you are in one of these. It might not be a pontoon exactly, but it looks functional enough to give some cover and have other benefits.
Cold, and not ideal, but a reasonably good haven for the time being!
Jul 15, 2024 2:12 pm
We have a pontoon boat very much like the middle pic. There is no shelter other than a Bimini top to protect from the sun and nothing below but pontoons. I suggest that we have a few that we rafted up together and maybe cobbled together shelters on each one. In general, a 20-foot pontoon can carry 11 people comfortably depending on the seat configuration. Hence the nickname, Party Boat!

Lastly, I might have missed this, what's the climate like? You mentioned winter. Are we talking 6 feet of snow on average, a dusting, or something in between?

I thought it might be best to be winding up to winter! You’re starting to notice the chill now, but it’ll be a few more weeks before things really set in on you!
Just because it gives you some motivation to do some moving and scavenging before the hard months really come in. Just a taste to light a fire under your butts!

Oh yeah! There’s a pizza delivery car and a bike stashed somewhere! Maybe some of your food in a bug out bag!

I need to give the book a closer read. How is food modeled? Is it just rations we personally all have, or is there some camp rating as well?

in this system you add the main trait dice (in captials) to the skills in the column below it:

I think Owen should have rolled just 1d6 in support of Harrigan (but I had not seen his post while I was typing mine, I thought Owen was the first to roll, sorry).

I’m more than happy to forgive and forget… just as soon as I’m confident that lessons have been learned.
1 = Shayna, 2 = Owen, 3 = Billie-Faye, 4 = Richard, 5 = The Camp.
But yeah, it’s no problem! I’ll just take the first dice from each roll to see if it adds to the base roll. With Billie-Faye scoring two sixes, there wasn’t much in doubt from the word go!

Is there a surprise advantage dice in this game? I’ll take a closer look later! This is what I came up with that seems closest to Owen’s intent.
Jul 29, 2024 11:48 am
In which case, @Dr_B your attack would miss for now. Of course, you’re free to reroll, adding a second stress dice!

It looks like this scene is wrapping up, and we are on the move! The question is - Do we continue upriver, and explore that option? That was your intention before all this mess. However, Eva and Selena came from that way! That’s a risk, potentially.
Do we strike out to confront whoever these New Haven folks are?
Or do we seek out shelter somewhere else, and I’ll get to work on that? This seems to be the intent in-game so far! Try and move on, use the storm for cover and lose them!

I'm for seeking out shelter elsewhere using the storm as cover. I think we'd be outnumbered if we went after the New Haven folks, and to what end?
Aug 8, 2024 4:12 pm
Could we go dianetics with the pontoons, I wonder? How fast/maneuverable are they?
The Haven are more likely to seek us in the woods/roads where the deadly encounter happened, not expecting a river base? That wouldn't solve the floaters issue, but maybe it would give us a little advantage?

Aug 8, 2024 7:52 pm
Agreed. The going might be easier and less congested with zombies other than the floaters if we went the water route, and wouldn't the pontoons just push them out of the way? Pontoon boats, in RL anyway, are as fast as the motor that's on them (example: ours will go 30 mph), and they are as maneuverable as any v-hull boat.
Aug 9, 2024 3:59 pm
Sorry to have been out a pocket unexpectedly a couple of days there… should we debate this IC, or her OOC? I think going upriver is a terrible idea, and we now need to collect our entire crew…
Aug 9, 2024 6:37 pm
What's your idea if you don't like the upriver plan @Harrigan? Maybe we will ditch you. 😁
Aug 9, 2024 9:41 pm
Replied IC. I might have the directions wrong, though. I think down-river / away from New Haven is the ticket.
Aug 10, 2024 2:28 am
Upriver - New Haven direction and whatever is putting walkers into the water. Possible unrelated. I suppose you could ask the sisters.
Downriver - A whole new world. Away from dangers presented thus far!
Hexes, if we can call them that, are said to be big though. And there could be any number of things inside a single space. You could go upriver and be totally fine!!

Before we move on the boat, I’ll post another in-character post. While that’s happening, we should handle some things!
Let’s have someone roll Mobility to get the boat down-river in a storm with no real problems! The boat has an Issue, like everything else!
We could also have someone write a Dearly Departed monologue, as you move down the river. Seems like an appropriate point.

@Dr_B Technically, it would be one stress. But we are about to enter into a nebulous time in the game, as you set up to move downriver. You could say that you sit for a while and just reduce all your stress.

Tricky. The pontoons provide both transport and shelter. But the river is polluted.
With the car pack mule option, it would be looking for a different shelter every night.

Do we know for sure that the boat can't be followed on foot? Just because it isn't a proper road doesn't mean folks can't follow on shore for some or most of it with an occasional detour. I feel like there will be more zombies and bad characters on the roads then on the river and being higher than the river by a foot or so of pontoon, if someone is always on watch, we probably wouldn't be easily attacked. It's just another avenue of perhaps less congested travel. I'm not wed to it if there's a convincing reason to abandon it altogether. With all of us not being able to fit on it, what with gear etc, it might make sense to abandon it. Then there's the matter of staying in contact with shore walkers.
I'm curious to hear @Dr_B's thoughts.

Aug 16, 2024 4:01 pm
My view is that the pontoon allows for forewarning on an attack, and especially, provides a form of shelter out of the box. People have to swim or float there.
Of course they can snipe us with firearms from the shore, but ranged attack is the only vulnerability.
Foot/car, we are more exposed, and even the found shelters might be unsafe.
I think pontoon until we HAVE to abandon it?
Having the bike on board is a good idea though.

Aug 16, 2024 11:41 pm
All things are possible until someone messes up! While the road doesn’t run down the length of the river, there is nothing stopping you from following through the woods on foot. It would be slower, of course. But it can be done. You couldn’t drive a car through it, but I’d be willing to have the bikes/motorbike go through there!
It might be best to simply think about your purpose right now. That is… to not be here in an hour or two. For my part, the pontoon offers the best chance of that happening. And walking through the woods, if people feel interested in that.
Once you’ve accomplished not being here when the gang gets here, you really have the whole world to explore!

Even if the road doesn't follow the river perhaps it meets up at a bridge. Most bridges serve roads, after all.

1. Yes 1xp
2. Chased away a bad dude. 1xp
3. Yes: he's a little lecherous. Well maybe a lot, okay? 1xp
4. No
5. Morally flexible is his issue - so maybe? He tries to be nurturing toward Owen, yet the addition of the two new gals made him realize he was conflicted. It made an impact on him at least, maybe not the session.

Yes you are right, Owen still has one stress!
Will add a die to the roll, and try a monologue.

Away from my book right now. But they can be spent to increase stats, I believe!
A 1 on the stress dice? Muhahaha! You fools! You fools!! You accidentally loaded some walkers on to the boat too!!

Had a long day today. Can feel my brain cooking behind my eyes. Will decide how Owen messes up tomorrow!
As for XP! You can buy a new talent or a skill point for 10XP!

Bad Serendipity? The pontoon boat hits rocks in this game.
It just so happens we are up at the lake where our pontoon boat resides, and the effects of the recent hurricane have been felt this far north. The water level is a significant all-time high due to record breaking rainfall. Docks with boats still attached, wild rice paddies the size of small islands, and partially submerged dock pieces as well as other flotsam and jetsam are making boating treacherous at the moment.

Wild rice and pontoons! Let’s all mark Windy’s location for when the walkers start walking!!

I may disappear this week. My grandmother seems to be on her death bed, and I might have to fly from South Korea back to Ireland to attend the funeral. It’s been 9 years since I’ve been home, too. Not a great situation to be in, to be honest. I’ll try stay going anyway, but just in case!
Aug 26, 2024 4:46 am
No worries, KCC, hope all goes as well as it can. Take care of things; we'll hold down the fort until you return.

Paging @Harrigan! Billie Faye still has an action, if she wants it! Before the others are pulled from the water!
There’s no rush! In any case, if there’s no movement, I think we can move on a little! Maybe deal some single walker attacks and then resolve the scene tomorrow!
Apologies for the delay, everyone! The last two weeks have been wild!

@Windyridge For a Single Walker Attack, you can roll any skill that you feel would apply in this situation. It can be combat, or something else!
If you succeed, you kill the walker and survive.
If you fail, you will suffer a walker attack. That will be rolled for after the fact.
All you need is one 6!

Heads up -- very busy work week ahead with travel and long, long days. I'll do what I can to keep up, but expect slowness. I should be back in the saddle on Saturday.

Brawl!
Everyone gets one action a round, and the round is divided into phases to break up the action!
Phases:
1. Taking Cover.
2. Ranged Combat.
3. Close Combat.
4. Movement.
5. First Aid.
6. Other.
Considering that he knows where you are, and you don’t know where he is (smoke, night etc!) this first round might be a little tougher! You’ll need two successes base to do what you want to do!

Not sure if what Owen and Billie are doing is Movement, Taking Cover, or Other...
Dec 9, 2024 7:07 am
Yeah, that’s the basics of it! Sounds like Shayna is taking cover! Owen could be moving or taking cover!
Dec 9, 2024 8:03 am
Owen is moving, I'd say. Hoping that the boarded windows might be openable somehow.

I voted yes, but am happy to go either way. And since someone voted no, that means they'd rather wrap this up and carrying on might be a drag for them...
Dec 24, 2024 3:30 pm
Damn near it. Going into a coma as we speak. I am totally fine with carrying on if I have something to play. I am rather fond of Richard.

Well, he needs some kind of hospital, right? Playing that out could be cool. A race to find care for him.

So there are two options really! We continue on here and see how it plays out. Windy takes an NPC for a while! Maybe Shayna too!
Or we scene swipe, as Harrigan maybe suggested, and move the game forward a few months! I can roll some dice and see what might befall the group, move them somewhere on the map and start up again with everyone back fighting fit.
What do we think?

Dec 25, 2024 12:08 am
Happy either way, I'd say the choice is with Windy and Qralloq so they can choose how to stay involved?
Both Owen and Billie Faye ended up with 5 Stress, which I'm sure will have some consequences...
Merry Christmas folks!

I like the swipe, but Richard will die without the second level medical treatment stuff, right? Which we have a few days to find. We *can* handwave that too, but it's a consideration.
Dec 25, 2024 12:55 am
There was another medical crate back at the chopper! Maybe that helped him, and Shayna the One-Armed pulled something off?
Dec 25, 2024 1:19 am
Sure, scene wipe is great with me. Happy to leave the details in KCC's malevolent, er, expert hands. Or, assist in some way.
But I think things should get worse. Otherwise, did we really learn anything? 😂

1. Yes
2. Near death experience? I mean him almost dying is important.
3. Yes. Not to be reckless. Charging outside like that was asking for it.
4. Yes, chopper and lodge
5. Yes, he and Billie "bonded" a li'l.
6. No
Starting with 8 XP, he now has 5 added for a grand total of 13.
For number 2 @KCC, if that's pushing it feel free to say nay.
Jan 1, 2025 3:54 pm
1. Yes
2. New medical gear
3. Yes. She's needs to be better on guard duty
4. Yes, chopper and lodge
5. Yes, got Martin killed
6. No
Starting with 7 XP, she has 5 added for a grand total of 12.
She'll spend 10xp to raise Scout to 1d6.

1. Yes
2. It was the season finale! We revealed that there's a nut-job out there, and got new radios / medical gear. And got found by other survivors! Jesus, what more do you want?!
3. Yes. She re-learned to not get too close to anyone.
4. Yes, chopper and lodge
5. Relationship with Richard
6. No but I can!
Without DD, that's 5XP. (Taking her to 5; she had already spent 10.)

It may be stating the obvious here, but what’s the plan for the kid! Bring her along for the ride a few hexes over? As Shayna said, you’re on the hunt for some folks without a place to go, and maybe a child on the way!
Mar 16, 2025 12:15 pm
Richard doesn't want the kid, but that's okay. He can just grumble and sulk. 🙂
Apr 4, 2025 3:58 am
This is almost certainly the end of the game, folks. Will Richard save a one-armed Billie-Faye and take her (and Caroline) off into the wasteland?
Will he fight it out with the last man, and see who comes out on top?

We can leave it there, if you like! You had said that you felt there was no post necessary. Maybe Billie Faye doesn’t wake up! Who knows!
Thank you for playing, all! And for giving it one final hurrah when things went bad in the woods! I think the post-coma stuff brought something nice to the game! Great to play with you all, as always!

Done.
Maaaaaaybe at some other TWD game in the future, we'll meet Richard again. And possibly a one-armed woman with a dick tattooed on her lower back like a kill on the side of a plane in WWII...

Thanks, KCC, you delivered well! I really felt like there was a living (er, unliving?) world, with NPCs that mattered, and a story worth following. I think it will shape how I look at bringing TWD to my own table in the future.
