OOC and General Game Discussion...

Yeah, about three minutes after Alastor04 told you you could do that.

But i'm new enough to this message board software that i don't know if my avatar is correct

Hmm, I don't know if there is a way to do it incorrectly. The only other thing to do would be when you are posting there is a drop down menu right above the text box where you can select posting as "player" or as "insert character name"

Of course!!

Are we rolling initiative, are the bad guys shooting at us with big, scary guns... what's up?

Ok, so I want to fire again, what dice am I adding for the hunter's cover? And who's taking Pon's Boost die?

Does it matter who goes first?

Initiative is not set in this game. Say players have slots 1-3 any of the players can act on those slots but only once. So if you want to go now you can and Pon's boost die goes to next allied attack (whoever that is). Difficulty to attack the hunter behind cover would be 2 purple for medium range and one black for cover.

Cool... I tried to post an attack action, but it appears there's a limit to the number of dice that can be put into a single roll.

How about if we roll in the OOC thread... good dice on one post, bad dice in a second post, then combine them in the Game thread so that there's not a lot of clutter there?

Edit: Or is there not a limit and you just can't see them going in? I'll test that here:

Ok, it's just a limit on visibility... The roll comes out as it was put in...

Hey Keith, I hope that was okay swiping one of your advantages. Not sure of the etiquette for this over PbP, but it seemed okay to just do it instead of asking for permission then waiting for you to respond and hanging the game up.

I'm so good with you profiting from my existence!

Isn't that what a team does?

LOL!

I personally do not like the Force Die mechanic for this system. It is probably the biggest issue I have with it. What do you guys think of it?

I like it... roll the dice, if you get nothing, you can't do it, if you get light side you can do what you want just fine, if you only get black, you can do what you want, but it'll cost you...

For me, this is a lot like interpreting Advantages and Threats when they show up. It makes for interesting storytelling.

The characters I like to play take a long time getting to a Force Rating of 2, which makes things a lot easier, But that's a price I pay for the way I build my characters.

What's your issue with it?

Well I guess my issue is more that raising your Force Rating takes a while. I've only played with it a little so I could be wrong but my players often roll only dark side pips and don't want to use them. Was my explanation of them okay?

I haven't actually used the Force mechanics yet, only EotE. I suppose it's alright in theory over a long period of time. I guess I don't like how you can use the Dark Side of the Force a few times and still have a decent shot at gaining Morality, that doesn't really make sense to me.

Dark Side powers and evil acts generate a lot more conflict than using the odd dark side pip. Thinking about it more i think it is more just a way to keep people from relying on the force for everything which was canon.

You've successfully made it through part 1, once everyone has spent their XP (see PM) we will continue.

Okay, Dao Jodh is all healed up and I spent his 10XP to gain rank 1 in melee combat.

I apologize but we have some plans this weekend that may have me busier than usual. If it is ok we will restart monday?
