Old Orleans, New Trouble: A Fallout Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master SinBlade06

Ditto on the spoilers.

Also, my work schedule is changing all over the place for the next month or so, I feel you on the tiredness...

School ends for me in a few days, then I'm back to the usual 4-class college lifestyle! YIPPEEEEEEEEE...

At least I'm taking french...

Well good luck man. Post when you can.

And that whole "I feel fine" comment....Crispy finds a cap on the floor.

Make me laugh/amuse me, I reward you. Sometimes.

Disappoint me and the next sniper's round is aimed at you. Sometimes.

Scab, you find a cap on the ground.

I just realized I never truly changed the Knowledges to fit the world, so I'm doing that now.

Knowledge Arcana will be replaced with Knowledge Science. You can use a Know: Science check to determine fine details on a computer's motherboard, design new weapons/machines, or even just remember something simple like weather patterns.

Knowledge Nobility will be replaced with Knowledge Leadership. Same basic concept as Nobility, but it can be applied to any form of leadership role. Military, Hierarchy, or even just seeing who's giving orders in a skirmish.

Knowledge Planes will be replaced with Knowledge Wastelands. If Know: Nature tells you about Radroaches and Mole Rates, Know: Wastes will tell you about things like Ghouls, Super Mutants, or anything that would have changed physically since the bombs dropped.

I'll give you guys this chance now since we didn't really know it, but if you want to respec your skill points revolving around Knowledges, go for it. You can only use the skill points in Knowledges, nothing else. You can't forget how to swim in order to learn how a Ghoul was created.

changing my Nature to Wastes, and Arcana to Science

also in your description above, some of the Science things sounded a lot like Engineering

Well it would be in place of Arcana, so things like what a Ghoul is weak to or what a Deathclaw hand is able to be made into is what it is used for.

Bump, heh

who are we waiting on?

Anyone really who wants to attack the mole rats there is no order.

soooo...

Well Myself and Nameless are moving in two days so we are having some difficulty getting online and posting especially when it comes to the net man.

ah i forgot

when things arent moving in my games i always wonder if it's my character we are waiting on so i get anxious hahaha

I understand the feeling. I feel the same, but I just can't bring myself to make big posts unless something big is happening...

yeah, agreed.

So the reason it was slow was because me and Annabell were moving. Now we've moved in, got our internet up, and now we can continue, full steam ahead!

Yay, Steam!

Radioactive steam?

Poke poke.

Guys? You gonna do something cool or what?

On my way to work now but if nothing has happened by the time I get home, scab will move forward

I was kinda hoping to explode thee gas and send the ghouls since they have rad resistance and then someone with a full suit to retreive the engine possibly.

We have any of those mines left?

We should. I didn't pocket any, but I think we grabbed close to a dozen.

Yes, I'm carrying a bunch of mines. 60, to be exact.

I'm carrying quite a few, too.

Not sure. The new plan is to make an ignition device to remotely or via a fuse ignite the gas. Once we get to the right place. Depending on any threats that appear.

I have a work-related formal dinner event to attend tomorrow night, coupled with a project that I have been working on whose culmination is tomorrow morning. As such, my posts may be sparing for the next 48 hours. "Bot" me as needed, although I don't anticipate that being necessary.

back

Arkwright has been a bad boy and gotten himself hospitalised. Understandably he won't be on for a while. I know he misses you all dearly. Lots of love, Mrs Arkwright. xoxo

Uh oh. That's never good.

If it's not too much to ask, Mrs Arkwright, what happened? Any idea how long he's gonna be in the hospital? Give him my best.

When he returns, immediate level up for everyone.

Yeah, hopefully it's nothing major. Seems like a lot of people going to the hospital lately..

Heyo fellas;

Went well, home from hospital, going to be resting up for a few days so I'll leave off posting for a little while if you don't mind. But if you need an urgent or important post for me, ask in discussion and I'll try to get onto it.

Mark its location? On a map, shoot up a flare, build a small rock cairn next to it?

Also, love the choice and the secret commands, big part of why this is one of my favourite PBP games.

Just provide some way for Command to find it.

Just a heads up, these are conflicting orders. Only one can be fulfilled; Super Mutants, Brotherhood, or Enclave. Your actions will decide the fate of our story.

Can I ask why they conflict? We're just being asked to mark it, not to steal it; and we're not being asked to ensure that only our marker is placed upon it. Why can't he put his marker over there in that neat corner and I'll stick mine here in my corner?

^ that's what I was thinking. Let the groups duke it out after we leave. Hahaha

I was thinking the same thing, hehe and whoever gets it first gets is :)

I did say that when Awkright returns there would be an immediate level up.

He's back, so everyone, LEVEL UP!!

Edward, since you have one of the bigger changes to your character (spells) I have a plan for that one, and you'll get the notice in a moment.

oh i had missed this. must have been a busier thursday and friday than i thought. level-up incoming.

how were we doing HP again?

You can take 1/2+1 HD or manually roll for health on the forum, but if you roll, you must take it.

hp: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Totally fine, Marcel. I actually like the way you did that.

You've already got the suit of armor, all you really need to know is were Crispy and Frank blonde before the transformation. If so...God have mercy on your souls.

Huh?

Full Metal Alchemist reference.

Funny...he's named Edward, too, right?

ah, that's why i didnt get it. i have only seen a few clips of that show

I watched a little of the show; I stopped after the 10th episode entirely on the theme of how you shouldn't try to bring back the dead. And that was episode 12.

Scab only knows of one beacon, so there is no decision for him to make.

That said, i still don't see a reason we all couldn't plant our beacons. Edward would likely tell us about his, as he doesn't seem one for such subterfuge, but Marcel would almost certainly plant his secretly.

That said, he would then have to destroy ours. And then walk into what then becomes the deathtrap of the super mutant offices when they find out that some other group has claimed the prize. Or then tell the party, revealing his duplicity (and then making us the subject of likely super mutant assassination attempts).

OR everyone could plant their beacons and let the groups fight it out after we get a reward, and hope the super mutants pay us.

Then again, with the way things have gone and the nature of radio waves, the groups have either suggested that they know where Marcel/Edward are, or would likely have the capability to find them. So planting their beacons becomes a moot point, because they already know where we are and by extension where the engine is.

Scab raises a very good point involving locations.

However, since you guys are underground and there's radiation, the signal is somewhat sketching and the precise location you could triangulate leads to about a mile in any direction from your location.

I guess I should have explained something else about the relations within Old Orleans. I'll go into detail here.

The Super Mutants that have settled in Old Orleans feel that they are strong enough to take on anyone that tries to intrude on them, but keep to themselves because they've got a pretty good thing going with power, protection, and a little influence in the Delegation of Old Orleans. If this truce is broken, the Brotherhood has full martial authority to take them down.

The Ghouls of Old Orleans know that the Brotherhood is truly in charge and don't want to make them upset. But as such, the Ghouls don't get very good treatment, mainly because the human residents see them mostly as the zombies that the Ferals are, even though they aren't. The Ghouls and SM are pretty good together since they're both ruined by radiation, so they've got a good thing going. A few members on the Delegation don't hurt either.

The Brotherhood of Steel has control over the majority of trade and electricity in the city. They are also the main police force and law enforcers since they've got the firepower and manpower. Without a doubt the Brotherhood is the all seeing eye that the Cold War was afraid of.

Old Orleans is run by a group of 8 members known as the Delegation. John Henry is the only Super Mutant on the board. The other members are three Ghouls and four Humans, Star Paladin Richards being one of them. All laws and legislation is run by them. Richards and John don't always see eye to eye, while the rest of the Delegation get along pretty well.

Merry Christmas to those that celebrate!
Joyous Wednesday to those who do not!

Merry Christmas gamers!

As my present to you, I present you with a set of loaded dice(kinda)!

In this game, you now have one(1) automatic 20 to any one roll. This cannot be used to cover a roll in the past, but any roll from now on can be replaced with an automatic 20. You only get one, so use it wisely!

Also, poke.

Best Christmas present ever!
