OOC

OK, we're almost ready to get started. I'm going to start off with some random encounters to get us all used to the setting and arrest procedures etc

Make your you have your character sheets updated with everything, an avatar either from the Judges Badge creator or a random Judges image and let me know when you're ready.

Thrown up information on Laws, arrest procedures and Judges gear

Ok everyone ready?

I'm ready to get a feel for the game. Everything will start to fill in afterwards.

Lots more stuff posted in the resource section, but most importantly take note of the arrest procedure.

I've read most of it. Will we be working together as a group?

Indeed, in fact the intro post is up already!

Just to confirm, you can't see my GM screen right?

I dont think so.

Thanks Nik.

We have a new player joining us, Dramasailor. I go through his character gen while we work through the intros.

Hi all! Getting caught up quickly and then hopefully into the nitty gritty action with all of you.

Hello, hello. Welcome to the group!

Welcome!

Hey Knife, do we have a squad leader? Or are we just four independent agents pushed together?

I thought Berns/Scurvy was the Patrol Leader for today's patrol at least.

I see who'll be the investigator in this group ;)

"Judge Berns has been assigned Patrol Head for today's assignment. Patrol will involve two circuits of the Block on your Lawmasters followed by foot patrol on the levels, boulevards and plazas of the Block."

Cool. Thanks

Now that i'm on the vehicle i can shoot the perp and take control of the vehicle without it crashing. I'm counting on the team to take care of any perps trying to sneak up on me or sneaking out the back. Any thoughts?

That works for me. The engine is shut down, so it should start to slow at some point.

Looks like Skurvyninja dropped out..

What a shame.

That's sad

Guess we are a 3 man squad again.

Bad form to drop from a game without a word, but hey, it was slowing things down waiting for him. The rest of you seem fairly regular so we should get things moving.

It happens. I'm great to keep going! Going by seniority, Skagg would be squad leader now right?

As there's no ranks among street judges, patrol leaders are assigned by Control. Today, Phaerin has been given the role.

Just a heads up everybody. Life got hectic for me. I had to cut back a few other games (tragically), and I plan on being able to continue with this one, but if I miss a day or two in a row, here and there that is why. I think I curbed my game-load to an amount I can handle, just a per-warning.

That's fine Nik. I''ll be super busy over the next couple of weeks anyway so will be posting sporadically.

It's the season, buds :) I just quit one of my three jobs.... so technically I have more time now.

Sorry for the delay. Trying to get sorted with what her street contact would be and how she got it. :)

Im a little stumped. I feel like I got to watch a cheesy 80s movie to inspire my contact.... unless Im over thinking this already.

My biggest issue is that Phaerin is a Tek judge. Her time on the street has been very limited.

Oh don't worry about it too much, details are not that important, just that you have a lead. And Phaerin, gangsters need Teks too! Maybe someone you helped bust after meeting on a forum?

Would you like some clues for what else you might do?

If you are willing then that would be great! I think I've got an Idea cooking for a guy, but by all means.

That works for me!

I meant generally for an investigation but I'm happy to make up your contacts too, if you want!

Everyone's gone quiet...

Sorry, I was giving others the chance to say something, then got caught up in schoolwork and forgot to check back.

No worries. I know Valcos mentioned in the absences thread he'd be busy but not seen Drama around.

I'm here, I was waiting on Nik to push the investigation. :/ d'oh.

Did we lose Valcos?

I know he had mentioned in the site absence thread something about getting busy or something like that. I know it's been since like mid/late January since he posted in the game he was running (or one at least).

Yes, he's busy with work and has been absent in another game I'm in with him too. Would you like me to recruit a fourth or are you happy figuring things out with the two of you, with Valcos' judge as backup when needed?

I don't have any strong opinions one way or the other, really. It is certainly easier to drive story with more players, but ultimately up to you guys. :)

I think I would have more fun with more players, but I don't mind continuing as we recruit.

Fair enough. I'll open it up for one more and hold off on kicking Valcos for the time being.

New player incoming!

Woo!

Well that escalated quickly!

Indeed. Push come to shove, we could (or at least I'd be willing to, I know Nik is a little shorter on time) run a second judge. Someone with a different talent set and such could open up possibilities.

OK let's carry on as is and see if anyone else answers. Lots of new games keeps pushing ours down in the Tavern!

Yay new people! I couldn't run another, but I have no qualms for others to do so.

Hey guys terrible news. It seems I am being forced to move far sooner than I was originally told. Originally I was not gonna have to worry about getting a job until I graduated, but now I am being forced to do so immediately. I wont be able to play as faithfully as a result. I am not gonna be able to keep a lot of games, but I want to keep this one. So if I go dark that is why. It may be better for me to back off and touch back down mid-summer.

I am loving this game, and I know you have put in an ass-ton of work Knife, so I am truly sorry. I hope to be back to my old rates in a few short months. If this is unacceptable I understand, and you can kick me from the game.

Thanks for the headsup. I'm going to keep it going and you drop in when you can! I'm refreshed the game request a few times in the tavern trying to get some new blood but everyone seems to just want 5E and Pathfinder!

Good news - new player incoming. Hopefully someone to join Phaerin to bounce ideas around.

Woo!

All gone a bit quiet here, are we waiting on more players or just time to set up the adventure?

It was just Nik and I for awhile, now we're back up to two people with you joining. Waiting to see how knife wants to set us up.

Sorry been incredibly busy so all my games are slow to pick up... Watch this space

No worries, I'll still be here when you're ready :)

On holiday til 6th June so not likely to post

Looks like everyone bailed so I'll call this one a day
