OOC - General Chat

Jul 14, 2018 1:54 am
Welcome to the general chat thread. This is where you can speak OOC freely. Also likely where we'll notify each other of delays, absences, etc.

Make sure to introduce yourself to the group!

Greetings All. I don't have much time for Table Top playing anymore so these PbP games are awesome. Looking forward to haveing a great game.
Jul 17, 2018 10:46 am
Welcome players!

@Tendaar: Cunning plan. Make me a Hard (three purple) Computers check.

@Imen: Make me an Average (two purple) Stealth check.

We'll wait at least until Wed night for the other two before extending invites to other applicants. Sorry if the begging drags a bit while we get all the players on board. :)
Jul 17, 2018 3:18 pm
A little drag never hurt anyone
Jul 18, 2018 11:33 pm
Hello all. Sorry I'm a bit late to the party but had life happen, also was not expecting the game to start so quick. Most games take a little while to get going. That is a good sign.


Ok so our Destiny pool is not looking so good. 4 darkside and 0 lightside.
Jul 20, 2018 8:19 pm
We'll just have to make up for the Dark Side with our good guy luck and rogueish charm
Jul 20, 2018 9:23 pm
Or we could just give in to the hate🙂
Jul 20, 2018 11:48 pm
@Tendaar: Gimme an Average Skullduggery check (two purple) for the lock pick. ;)
Jul 21, 2018 12:15 pm
As I read it, we are not the Empire but, nothing says we are "Good". Maybe we are more on the dark side then the Emperor. Hmmm....
Jul 21, 2018 9:43 pm
Tendaar is so visible it hurts haha
Jul 22, 2018 3:59 pm
Average stealth checks were exactly right. Definitely feel free to "predict" rolls like that. We can always add or adjust dice later, or get creative w/ the retcon. But not waiting for the DM to rule on every little thing can help things move along faster. And gives all you a chance to add more RP fun and flair to your posts.

Also it helps me to see how you all spend advantage if you highlight the effect in green. You'll notice I've been doing the same for threats by highlighting in red.

Imen's prior stealth check applies here. So you're good to go.

@Black: Are you hiding and taking cover, or staying out in the open? If hiding, make a Stealth check. Average difficulty.

I'll try to have another post up tonight, but then might go dark for a little while. I'm going to Yosemite w/ my family for the week. I'll likely have some free time at nights, but not sure what the wifi will be like. I'll try to keep you all posted, but if I disappear, know the game will restart shortly. :)
Jul 24, 2018 1:51 pm
@MattParody / Black: What’s the word? Stealth? No stealth?
Jul 25, 2018 3:09 am
i vote stealth. We done need to have an unnecessary fight
Jul 25, 2018 4:11 am
My apologies.
Black will definitely be trying Stealth.
Jul 25, 2018 3:31 pm
Just saw all ours rolls for stealth. Looks like Zal will be the only one getting out of this encounter.
Jul 25, 2018 4:27 pm
Will try to get next post up tonight.

It looks like everyone but Tendaar is hidden. It will be tough to explain the random fish person on top of the AT-ST. ;)
Jul 26, 2018 6:01 am
Black is going to try to explain the mon-cal situation to these guards...with blaster bolts.
Jul 26, 2018 4:12 pm
@Black: I think if you were already aiming at the door from your position, you'd take an additional boost die (blue die) for that shot.

It seems like all of you took a moment to prep for soldiers coming out of the door. So I'd say you're all "pre-aimed" if you want to be. :)
Jul 27, 2018 3:11 pm
Nice shot Black! I think the total damage is 13 actually (heavy blaster rifle's base is 10, +1 per uncanceled success, the triumph counts as a success). So not only do you kill the first guard, but you have 2 advantage and a triumph to spend!

When combat starts (or gets close) you'll notice I post things like soak and health for the baddies. That's so you all know how much damage you've done after a roll and can add an RP post in the main game thread describing the results. No need to wait for me. Describe that kill shot! :)

REMINDER: Please make it clear how / where you're spending advantage and triumph. Highlight them in green (and blue for triumph). Helps me keep track and gives me a chance to reign it back in if I think your choice is too over powered. :)
Jul 28, 2018 1:12 am
Haha @Zal those go big boom, yes. I would say the left most two troopers are down to 2 health (rolled some IRL dice for the dmg) and knocked prone by that blast. Feel free to update your post or add a new one w/ the RP flair for that.
Jul 28, 2018 1:13 am
Also you have 3 advantage to spend on top of that. :)
Jul 28, 2018 6:16 am
Not sure if we are taking a full turn or just reacting to them entering. Zal will move to speeders on her now or on her next turn.[/
Jul 28, 2018 2:40 pm
Full turn, so moving to the speeders can be your maneuver. You're post is spot on. :)

Just waiting on RP post in the game thread from Elveron and MattParody. Then I'll do a post for the baddies, then we're in full combat. :)
Jul 30, 2018 2:39 pm
Sorry for delay. Family drama right when I got home from vacation. Hoping to post tomorrow sometime.

@MattParody: Still waiting on your in chapter post too.
Jul 30, 2018 3:55 pm
Sorry fell off the tauntaun this weekend.
Standby...
Aug 1, 2018 2:53 am
@Imen: Setback die is 2 advantage, which is why I didn't apply yours. But you can still hand it off to another player as a boost die if you like (for another player it's 1 advantage I believe).

All may post, but maybe give Tendaar a shot to take his first action. :)
Aug 2, 2018 11:26 pm
Are they all down now?
Aug 2, 2018 11:52 pm
No. the two caught in the explosion are still up.
Aug 6, 2018 2:23 am
@MattParody: Waiting on your next move.
Aug 12, 2018 12:49 pm
Sorry for delays on my part. Family issues. Hoping to update all games tonight or tomorrow.
Aug 13, 2018 8:39 pm
Sorry for the long delays.

@MattParody: Make me a Mechanics check (two purple) for setting up the speeder distraction.

Game post coming up.
Aug 18, 2018 11:51 am
Tendaar is destroying their tech! So you all get an annotated map of the base thanks to the hack. But it will take me a day or two to get that to you (mobile only for the weekend). I apologize in advance for the delay.
Aug 23, 2018 10:17 am
@Kenotooth: Yes, average Mechanics or Athletics check to remove the restraining bolt.
Aug 23, 2018 10:19 am
@DM_Apexwolf: Make me an Average (2) either Mechanics or Piloting check for setting up the speeder autopilot. Assuming they're just going straight. If you want them to dodge and weave trees and shit, you're looking at either Hard (3) or Daunting (4) difficulty. And take a Boost die since Black is assisting.
Aug 23, 2018 3:55 pm
Woo!
I'm a Boost die!
Aug 24, 2018 12:57 pm
let's bump up the gratitude protocol just a smidge so he doesn't try to kill us.

That made me laugh. Nicely done.
Aug 26, 2018 6:59 am
Not sure if I can still do it but, I would like to say that I stripped one of the guards clothes. The one uniform that looked the least shot or blow up. If I need to spend Destiny I'm willing to do that.
Aug 27, 2018 11:53 am
Sorry for the delays. Busy weekend. Planning to post to all games tonight or tomorrow morning.
Aug 27, 2018 4:28 pm
I think that would be feasible for us to have done, Apex.
We did toss the bodies too.
So between the two activities I'm sure it could be managed.
Aug 28, 2018 9:52 am
When it rains it pours. Due to family problems, I'll be taking at least a month off from my posting games. I apologize for the late notice. I hope to be back sometime in October.

Special apology here. This game was going really well. I hope you're all able to press the pause button and comeback fresh. But if not I totally understand, no hard feelings.

Thanks for understanding and I hope to see you all again in October.
Aug 29, 2018 9:47 pm
Fingers crossed that you return. And i'm sorry about your issues. I hope they resolve as easily as possible.
Sep 2, 2018 3:59 am
Agreed. Really want to see what this system can do. Have yet to get a game through 20xp. So, I will be here waiting.
Sep 22, 2018 1:01 pm
Are we all still here waiting. Just hoping no one has given up.
Sep 24, 2018 8:13 pm
I'm still around. Looking forward to resumption of hostilities
Sep 25, 2018 3:45 am
Can confirm.
Standing by.
By the Force, please return
Sep 26, 2018 3:29 am
Red Expendable: Standing by
