Fall of the Void (Inactive)

Game Master Vinsomner

My fingers... lol

Vinsomner, I actually have a Pilot Skill of 1d6. With a 3 on the roll, with the ACIM bonus +2 wouldn't my total have been 5?

Are there any weapons on the Mechs? I see a lot of defensive measures, but nothing offensive?

Oooh I need to put the weapons on there, my apologies!

And... yes I apologize for that. Your next immediate pilot check will be a success in order to compensate for my mistake. Forgot to add that bonus.

EDIT: Okay weapons are added to the walker and exo-suit. Had to remove a mod from the exo-suit because I forgot to total up the mod count, oopsies!

I had an idea, but not sure if its possible given the nature of FTL in Savage Worlds.

Would it be possible, if enough energy was burned, to calculate a microjump hyperspace jump that would put us a few hundred meters from the base, but past all of the planetary defenses.

Thinking along the lines of how the Galactica did an FTL jump to save humans that were planetside, then FTLed away in the Edward James Almos series.

See now that's inventive! The thing I like doing is that I'm not a setting clinger. I like improvising a ton of stuff, so I think it would be possible.

I would say that of course it's incredibly dangerous. So in order to do it, you will need to make a pilot check and I want to say a knowledge check. The AI could handle that for you, but I think the knowledge check is to know how to tell the AI what you want to do. (A related skill check to speaking will also work. Or something related to computer use)

Then I have the fate die roll, due to constant chaos of the battle, you need a clear line of shot to where you will land. So you don't FTL into a passing ship.

Hmmm...I can't think of a better way to get the Sunrunners noticed than to try it. However, with the risk, I'ld like to hear from the others to see what they think.

I have Know:Astrogation d6, so that should cover being able to at least phrase what I'm looking to do to the AI. I'm not sure how Persuasion would really be applicable.

I think that would work with describing the maneuver to the AI. I say go for it. The worst that can happen is that this becomes the shortest game I've ever played.

There is definate coolness factor if it works. When I saw that episode of Galactica, I thought it was one of the greatest bits of strategy I ever saw. Really showed why Adama was Adama.

What? No, that wasn't in the plan. No improvising on the fly like that, Rio! That's dangerous! We didn't go over that! It's in NONE OF THE STRATEGIES YOU FOOL

But actually, it's pretty cool, so I'd say go for it...

I may be improvising, but it is still doing our part. Punch through to the base and secure till Leinser Hulls can get there ships there.

HOT DAMN!!! First Lincoln unleashes a devastating shot at the cruiser and then we pull off a quick jump to the planet! Think we will get a bonus?

I think you guys are on track for getting a bonus!

Just been a little bit busy, will get post up today soonish.

Ok thanks for the update.

I do realize this is very combat heavy to begin with. But trust me, the intrigue is coming! But this combat does really help with getting familiar with the system :) A crash course you could say!

I really hope that 'crash course' is just a phrase, and you don't mean that literally...

My apologies, fell a little ill yesterday. Feel better today though!

I'll post something a little later today.

Are we still rolling with this game???

I'm still here.

Also still here, just not entirely sure of where we're all at in-game at the moment and what we're doing.

I sincerely apologize for the lack of communication.

Have a family emergency, between work and that, I've been really strapped for time. I will be back in hopefully a couple of weeks at most.

Again, I'm sorry for the lack of communication on my part.

Glad to hear from you, hope everything goes well with the family emergency. Hopefully the game will pick back up when everything is resolved.

Well, since we have the chance, anyone have any ideas about penetrating the base? I'm thinking we can try and get our hands on some goodies while we're here.

Okay, I'm alive, I've survived, but to be fair I just want to let everyone know that everything will be okay.

More things unfolded, pretty my a snowball affect in the last month or so. But things are settling down and now that I have my head on straight I can come back to GMing.

I may be a little slow to start with, but things will ramp back up. I'm still dealing with a few things, plus a move that's happening in about two months from now. So it might get a little spotty here and there.

In regards to the campaign here. Things will shift into a more Roleplay focus. It started off with a large combat to help familiarize everyone with the system before settling down into a more Roleplay attitude.

I apologize for the absence, but here's to hoping things will get back to normal now.

No problem, Vinsomner, just great to hear that you're doing okay! Whenever/however the game gets back going again, it's fine with me.

Glad to hear that things are now going well. Looking forward to seeing the game coming back.

Welcome back glad to hear things are better. No pressure hear take your time.

Glad you're back and come through your trials. We are here and ready to rock.

I'll update this evening (US Eastern time). I'm travelling with a supervisor this week, so posting might be spotty. Please feel free to BOT my character if necessary to move the plot along.

I'll be making a post today, hurrah! During my lunch of course hah. Going to be good to be back.

Is it just me or does Rio's avatar look kinda like Nicolas Cage?

Happy Holidays everyone. Sorry for the sudden lull. Things should get back on track soon enough.

And I kept thinking that too Brintak!

I was thinking more the actor that played on the short lived Dresden Files TV series.

I think we should re-assess if this game is a go or not. The posting has dried up to a trickle, and in my experience that's the first sign of impending doom.

It is kind of slow, but I don't mind.

Sorry. I'm a horrible GM. No excuses.
