Excellent!
Good, analysis Treppa.
Yep, on the kukri = Weapon:2 (just) but seems fair.
Sawn-off shot gun, sounds fair. A Weapon:3
Yep Body Armour:2 requires either lose clothing or it's obvious you have something. Body Armour:1 can be hidden.
.
As for some other equipment, we can always make a roll when you get there (if things aren't planned) or spend Fate Point.
I decided I wanted a dead tree DFRPG book so went to Amazon.
$190.
Forgot it was out of print. >_<
Think you can still get it at Evil Hat, no? Or was it totally replaced with the Accelerated?
Good thought! Looks like most of the hardcopy DFRPG books, even unaccelerated, are available... except Your Story.
Ah, well. I can bookmark on my ePub so that helps. For some things, nothing beats a dead tree.
Makes sense, since Our World would probably still be like 95% usable reverb under streamlined rules.
Though I am a little bummed I didn't grab paper copies myself. I mean, I guess I'll probably never lose my pdfs, but I do like having it on the bookshelf.

I have 2 copies, of Your Story, the second I bought so I could officially get Treppa a pdf.
Then Evil Hat sent me pdf's of both original books, cause they are awesome.
Had the thought of checking Drive Thru since they're PoD, but also a no. Guess I'll just need to get adopted by a current owner so I can inherit a copy. ;)

You could sell that extra copy at quite a profit, DSX! Cheapest one I found on eBay was $95.
Apropos of nothing, I've also been amused by a new character in the last 2 books,

I agree. I think she's awesome, and even more, the interactions with the Major General make for a spot of humour while the rest of the world is falling apart. ;)

Apparently we just missed out on one for only $75. ;)
Holy crud, are they not printing any more? Of either edition?
Did it not sell well enough???
I mean, PDF's are fine, but Dead trees are the best by far. :)
Now I regret not getting them when I could have,...
I was playing Fallout 4 in the wee hours and found a teddy bear in the trash. My first thought was "Hey, I can give this to Danny." Then I knew it was time to sleep.
I'm picturing Sal as the landlady from Kung Fu Hustle right now, holding up a finger, shaking it, and cracking her knuckles.

That's hilarious. And also, Teddy Bears are totally launchable at supernatants. ;)
LOL,
I totally need to watch King Fu Hustle. I have it (And a hundred other things) Lined up on my NETFLIX playlist. :P
I have not played any of teh Fallout games.
I am a casual gamer. And I am afraid that a game like that, my anal-retentiveness will kick in, and I will never get anywhere, because I weill spend days (Real ones) simply searching EVERYwhere, looking for ANYthing that might be useful. Wouldnt want to miss anythinG! :P
(Yeah, I dont do it often, but when it kicks in,... Hoooo boy!)
:P
You've never seen Kung Fu Hustle???!!!?!?!
Get thee to Netflix!
That's part of the charm, Rags. I lose hours -- weeks, really -- to these games.
LOL, Yeah I can do that too.
Which is only ONE of the many reasons I dont play all of the (video) games that I HAVE, much less the new(er) games that I WANT. ;P
Oooh,... I can spend an hour or so just perusing my list and new videos, trying to DECIDE what to watch!
And that's only NETFLIX,... O_o
That's easy: Kung Fu Hustle.
Should we go to McDonald's or straight to Lindisfarne?
As much fun as it could be to have Kenneth express disdain at your American diets, I'm good with skipping ahead if everyone else is.
There's also the camp site just before Lindisfarne, where Mr Brackenthwaites boys are going to meet up.
Then again McDonalds in the UK is much, much worse than the US. It's also significantly more expensive. Saying that in France it's not too bad & partially because BK couldn't break into the market.
Yep, I think our plan was to stop by the Barn (campsite) first because it's on the way. I was using Lindisfarne as a general area catch-all. My bad.
How can McDonalds in the UK be worse than in the US? Is that possible?

Surely by now you've realized that things can always get worse? ;)

Than McDonalds? o_O
Eyeballing their UK menu, it looks like we could get some... Nacho Cheese Wedges?
Ooh, and a Cadbury McFlurry? (Unless their machines are broken as often as ours are...)
Ooh, and a Cadbury McFlurry?
Ooh.
LOL,
I was in Europe ONCE. LOng ago. College choir trip/ sightseeing travel venture.
Among my many adventures on THAT journey (The length of the Rhine River) we did, once, stop at McDonalds. In a German speaking-country.
With a busload of college kids and senior citizens, NONE of whom spoke any more German than our one-page-each-language tour book provided us.
I saw ONE recognizable word on the menu. MAC. SO I ordered a Big Mac.
I got a large ice cream. I asked again. And got another large ice cream.
Someway, somehow, MAC is involved for their word for ICE CREAM. O_o
I never DID get my freaking Big Mac.
Hope you weathered the Hurricane of the Week, Rags. With our state on fire, I hadn't even noticed Zeta.
This is fine. Everything is fine.
It's 2020. We've a global pandemic and we may find out what comes after Omega.
I love this year.
I just hope we don't look back on 2020 fondly.
"Remember back in 2020, when life was still good? We had electricity and running water and computers..."

Now I'm thinking of this New Yorker cartoon.
That's funny! :)
Yes my daughter keeps sending me all of these memes and such that she comes across. One of my recent favorites?
"Hello, 2020? Yes I'd like to cancel my Hurricane of the Month Club membership!"
FYI-Sorry, actually busy this weekend! back to doing shows, Even if they are livestreamed instead of with audiences
(SO not post as much chatty as usual this weekend)
;P
So I love quickref sheets and was going to make one for DFFate, but then found this downloadable one from evil hat.
I have the sheets for Thaumaturgy and Evocation that I think were also done by Evil Hat.
Oh nice! Ima download those and save in 'the file' :)
OK<
I know I've missed some 'opportunities' to make some moment-fitting Danny-comments recently. (Not sure I actually know which ones they were, but judging by reactions I've missed a few!) ;P
BUT if NO one takes up my cue line, and responds with the appropriate response, (HINT- its a movie quote) I will be very disappointed. ;P
OK, I don't recognize any movie lines (I am quite bad at movie-ing) so will let someone else go. :)
LOL, to be fair, Danny's line is NOT a direct quote from the movie I'm thinking of. Just a great lead in to the response. :P
Danny's not TRYING to tick off Sal!
It's just a gift! I swear! :P
Danny forgot how some people take their past,... more seriously than others?
My son introduced me to some of his friends from the Marines, most of them laughed hysterically at any jokes making fun of the military as an organization. (They were ALL PTSD guys, from serious action) they were the first to crack jokes about 'military intelligence', etc.
Now don't insult the MILITARY itself, or degrade their sacrifices! Nope!
:)
Danny would NEVER do that.
You know,... On purpose,... :P
It's just RP. :P
I figure after Edwyn's revelations of the previous night, she'd be a little raw.
Also, Sal is pretty broken.
Sadly, magic can't fix everything. Especially in the Dresdenverse!
BUT<... Danny can at least (try to) make Sal laugh! :P
By the way,
the reference to the 'uncle's story' THAT one is also real. My dad was a navy guy stationed on Bermuda. They ran short-handed on guards for the 'well-known-top-secret' nuclear experiments they were running on the island. Had subs constantly running the blockades trying to get close.
(They would take their cargo planes that fly like a brick and dump garbage on top of the subs to let them know they had been spotted. Because they weren't allowed to officially 'engage' the enemy with weapons.) ;P
One day Dad is putting up equipment (dont know what kind) when a Marine sarge walks up to him and orders him to follow. They gather up about 20-odd Navy guys, and inform them that they are short on marine guards for the top -secret project. They line them up on the beach, issued them weapons, and began drilling them.
My dad The Navy sailor, spent 6 months in the marine core. :P
IT gets better! :) (THIS is my favorite part) ;P
After a few weeks of this, the navy guys are running circles around the island (literally) and there are a bunch of off-duty Marines sitting on the sea wall mocking the Navy-marines. Being the usual military-name-calling stuff.
The drill sergeant turns to the Navy men and barks,
Sarge-"Do we hear what they're saying?!?"
Navy guys-"SIR YES SIR!"
Sarge- "Do we LIKE what they're saying?!?"
NG-"SIR NO SIR!"
Sarge- "Well, what are you waiting for? Go DO something about it!"
So, a bunch of Navy guys, who had been working out hard for a month straight, got into a brawl on the beach with a bunch of Marines, who were no doubt tough, but had not been working out while on the island.
Dad didn't say the fight was easy, but it's outcome was pre-ordained. :)
I do enjoy stories,... sometimes truth is even more entertaining than fiction. :)
Sal is so subtle.
LOL!
So,... Danny's rubbing off on her? ;P
Hey all,
Just wanted to apologize for the lack of my usual novel-length posts. (Or say 'your welcome' to those who are tired of reading my novel-length posts?) ;P
I'm just feeling a bit o'erwhelmed recently, with work and crazy covid-scares on campus, and no breaks because they shortened our semester to be DONE by Thanksgiving!
(Yes, the University I work for will be done with finals on Thanksgiving eve) :P
On the PLUS side, the students get a month and a half off! >_<
The,... STUDENTS,... get a month and a half off,... Not ME,... :P
I'm still here, I'm still interested, just,... not able to mentally keep up my usual frantic posting speed in all my PbP's lately.
Sincere apologies, and to anyone else who is feeling the same, May we ALL recover quickly! :)
Thanks, ~Rags,
Sorry,
RL + Holiday = SLOW aged wizzie posting! :P
Reminder to myself that...."Economy of Honey" => "Honey Money"
