Hey guys, sorry I've been away this past week, my little side cooking gig turned into a full blown resturant and I've been pouring every spare moment into that, much to the neglect of my family and gaming. Been testing and getting the menu together, as I'm just taking over the kitchen of an established business, so it's not as much work as beginning from scratch, but still lots of work. I haven't had any office hours, which is where I usually update things, but I've got some time now and gonna update the best I can. It might be slow right now, but I'm still here. Just be patient with me during this month while I'm testing the menu and training cooks.
Glad you're enjoying the game, things will take a little while to do for each of you, don't know what Xing will do, but I'll leave that up to him.
Anything anyone needs in particular, you might need to remind me, gonna update IC, but if I misssed something here or by PM that I can't remember, just remind me.
Give me one more week please, and then things should be a little more normal for me, soft opening next week, and catering every weekend this month, Christmas dinner, testing, etc...Just bear with me and I promise I'll be returning.
Take your time, restaurant can be pretty time consuming! :D
Hi guys, a little heads up and advertisement in my own case …
I just put up a recruitment thread for an Only War game which is a tribute game to the (in-)famous 'The All Guardsmen Party'. This ongoing story by a genius (borderline madman) features a few brutally lethal meat grinder campaigns with your regiment and eventually evolves into a dark heresy game were all players are guardsmen. Sounds boring? Not with the story this guy came up with!
Just have a look for yourself!
Welcome to the Guard!

Welcome to the Guard!
Unfortunately I don't have the books or the pdf, else I wouldn't have mind joining :)
Depending how and when people see this...
Merry Christmas! may it be less eventful then mine!
Merry Christmas to all as well. Vorenthar, I hope the eventful part is over and everything is on the up from here on.
Happy Holidays to you all!
Merry Christmas to you all. Happy New Years!
Holidays are over, though I worked through them all, though on China, January 1st only recently became a national holiday here, used to only he Chinese New Years on the Lunar calendar.
Anyways, needed to build a ship for SOS campaign and now that it's done I can return here. Also I'm dropping out of my only PC game of OW, not fair to them or you all who came first. My time is limited. Once I post there ship today then I'll update here. Thanks for patience. Soon Chinese new years begins here and I'll have 10 days or so off and my schedule will change soon, giving me more office hours.
Bayou, we appreciate all the time you give us, both here and in SOS. Thanks a ton!
Jup you guessed right, thanks for resolving. I did roll by second ten in my RF. It was labeled exploding dice in the first and RF! In the second.
Gang up is just another example of POOR wording. "if they outnumber their enemy" RAW.
I always thought it as a per-target thing. If you attack one enemy together, you will have an advantage, don't you? Also it make melee fights a bit more tactical ... Do the team attack different targets to kill them quickly, or do they attack one target together to get rid of them ASAP.
Your call, just thinking out loud.
Eh, it states that the servo arm has a reach of 2m.
Point blank is <=3m I believe.
There is the double team talent for that. If you team up enemy only has one reaction usually, so other hits likely to dmg. I figured that gang up is psychological, but your right, it is also physical if your engaged with multiple foes, but at least you know you're not alone, and team up means you are gonna be dodging for sure the others you don't engage, could double attack one of you and you don't have more than one reaction usually... Thinking out loud for both sides.. Good points.. What do others think. Your experience with this...
overall, I am rusty with the mechanics of WH40k so I roll with the dice and go with it. Overal, I don't mind and I understand your way of thinking.
In the RL deathwatch game I run, I usually treat gang up bonuses a little situationally.
If there are 12 people fighting on each side, usually it will devolve into a few battles that, while all part of the larger fight, are to a certain extend separate from each other. So I will look at the number of people in each smaller melee to determine if gang up bonuses apply.
Ahh, am I considered being in melee with the beasts? I think our last line was using my melee 'attack' as helping out another marine so I could keep shooting the laser ... So no melle = no dodge?
I will be flying out to the US on wednesday, back home on the 10th of februari, not sure if I will be able to post, will try but no promises! so feel free to bot me
Where are you from, Brother Vorenthar?
Where are you from, Brother Vorenthar?
Netherlands :)
Where are you from, Brother Vorenthar?Netherlands :)
See, this is one of the things I love about playing pbp...
<-- Germany ;-)
And yeah, that really is cool! Also it really helps (me) to keep (written) English present and improving it.
haha... Tiamat is nearby (depending on where in Germany :) )
and yeah... PbP makes it easier :)
My father was from Rheinland, so closer to Luxemburg than to Netherlands but still close :P
Not that close. I live near Stuttgart, so way south and somewhat west but in the same time zone - the only real problem in pbp in my eyes ;-)
To clarify gang up bonus, from core:
gangIng up
A character has an advantage when he and his allies engage
the same foe in melee combat. If a group of characters
outnumber their opponent two to one, their Weapon Skill
Tests are Ordinary (+10). If a group of characters outnumber
their opponent by three to one or more, their Weapon Skill
Tests are Routine (+20).
So if its 2vs1 etc, like the fighting now, then you'll get the bonus and more if someone else had Double Team talent.
Happy Chinese New Years everyone.
Hey guys,
Chinese Spring Festival finally over, returning to work and a normal schedule again. Was in the countryside without running water and poor internet, lost a few posts I tried to make, so just gave up. I'll be updating tonight or tomorrow.
Grandfather Nurgle has sent me a present I couldn't resist, so I am out-of-order for some time (my head feels like it is about to explode any moment ...)
I will be back from the us on wednesday (will post then aswell)!
Travelling to Greece tomorrow to see the In-laws. Will be able to post from there, but probably not until Sunday or Monday.
Anyone still here or are we dead again?
Nothing will keep me down, Brother.
Techmarine Tiamat from the Salamanders ready when you are.
Still here, although I was getting a little hit and miss when we stopped.
I still check it, but seems like it is semi dead... kinda a shame since I like the wh40k setting... should we look for a new gm?
If we are to continue playing, I think we need one...
At least one, yeah :P
I'm not sure if anyone will see this, and I don't want to get anyone's hopes up if they see a post, but I just wanted to say thanks. I really enjoyed this game short though it was. The concept was really good, made brilliant by the roleplaying everyone went for. I hope the RL problems that took people's time away are all good ones and wish you many happy games in the future.
Anyone still around? Got things more organized and worked out with the restaurant, daughter in school, things are going great, got some free time and looking to see who might still be active on Paize and if theres any interest in resuming a campaign.
Woohoo! Space marine carnage is back!
I'm in!
Huh, sure, I am still around, but you know that, Bayou, right? ^^
