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

Game Master SinBlade06

Sorry, work is changing some rules, so I can't really post all the time Ike I used to.

I still enjoy this game very much, just getting swamped with IRL stuff at the moment.

Ill try to get at least a "I'm still here" post up from time to time.

Player Knowledge verses Character Knowledge, I'm glad Edward didn't Detect Evil on the bar :D

If you consider it though, good and evil align all the time in Fallout universes. Fallout 3 with the Lyon's Pride giving a mostly evil character power armor and training, Caesar's Legion inviting a do-gooder to join them, so on.

hehehe...I actually forgot I can do that...

Oh well. Seeing a centaur hanging out playing the piano was enough of a sign that Edward would not have a good time in that place.

Too bad our other diplomacy guy is also digging up mines, for now.

hahaha i love this centaur

Fallout Fun Fact #1: In Fallout 3, there was gonna be a sentient, friendly Centaur named Clancy. He had something to do with the quest Wasteland Survival Guide, but never appears in-game.

nice. reminds me of the mudcrab merchant and creeper in morrowind

Kinda like the Brain in Fallout 3 that they programed somewhere in the game and that it will sometimes say that he fell unconscious because he fell through the floor of his vault. Making you go what the hell just happened.

Hey guys as a heads up if you have not heard there is a big fire in black forest Colorado. myself and Nameless GM are possibly going to be evacuated from our house. So if we are, then we will have to put this game on hold until we are safe at home again.

We are right now packing and hoping that it can be contained.

If you are curious here is a live feed of the fire.

be safe!

Be safe, guys.

Tenro, I MUCH prefer this avatar over the last one. It's so Gentlemanly!

Jeebus.

Be safe and sound.

heh i figured it was time for a change, i kept seeing other people with the old one.

so i take it you all are safe now? hopefully your stuff too

We're pretty safe for now. We got lucky with a couple of thunderstorms, changing the containment from 5% to 45% in one day.

Currently, we have a containment on the Black Forest Canyon fire of 55% and it isn't growing. We've lost over 480 homes, and two people were killed in the fire.

Thanks for being patient with us during this trying time. We'll be back in just a little while after we sort a few things out.

And for this one combat, I'm probably gonna make a map since it's kinda hard to aim with a splash weapon without one. (evil gm smile)

i always favor maps in combats. especially ones where we are trying to aim splash weapons and use cover and stuff. i anticipate raiders being a very tough fight, much tougher than our usual fare.

its good that things are taking a turn for the better over there. i havent lived anywhere with that problem, closest i was was some places in a few different states that restrict use of fires and fireworks outside during dry summers.

bump

Sorry, life has been getting kind of hectic for me.

I'll give you a little good news, on Sunday, June 30th, I will have a post for you guys that I know all of you will enjoy: a map post.

niiiiice

I can't wait.

Woot

Woo, time to hit things.
They have a rocket launcher
Oh. Right. Damn.

Where's the roll20 link again?

It was the link in the GM post

hmmm if its alright i would like to not make an account.

if i have to i will, but its just another thing to log into haha

ah i dont see our tokens on the map you posted. do i need to sign up to roll20 to see that?

Well, Roll20 has a "Keep me logged on or else" feature. It's pretty handy.

And as far as I can tell, yeah.

i'll wait for marcel and don to go before i go.

Because it's been more than a week since last post and I've told Tirq several times to post here, Crispy is getting skipped this round.

Dude, please try to keep up. I'm gonna have you skipped and we'll come to your turn next round. If you skip again, there's gonna have to be disciplinary action.

I FINALLY INJURED EDWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still, I probably shouldn't have given him a DR for a hard corner, but still it makes sense.

yeah that is pretty good. he is finally feeling the pain of frontier life. hahah

I feel so bad for leaving you guys on such a bad note. I'm sorry.

I hope you guys are still having fun at least.

Dunno how much health / dr he had but I dont think that combat was bad. Maybe count the rocket launcher as large for dr purposes I think

Well fights in Fallout last a few seconds if you have the right firepower. I was trying to emulate that, but I failed. That and the whole "it's your turn" thing was kinda stupid.

So here's what were' gonna do next combat. When you post, you go. Simple as that. Everyone rolled a nat20 on init and can act whenever. Once everyone has posted, Enemy Turn and resolve for each post, then we start all over again.

Sound good?

Fine with me, but i dunno if Marcel would like it since he's a sneaky and fast (and rogues tend to like going first)

Everyone in this setting has guns, Marcel isn't going to be trying to pull anything in the first round and get stuck out of position.

That is fine by me, that is how I run combat in my campaign.

Do not die!!!

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmnmmnmmp

I, too, shall bump this thread.

Just waiting on GM, I think...

I wouldn't mind speeding this up, GM can I suggest rolling everyone's perception for them? Or if you're too busy for that, us nominating someone who's on pretty often to roll perception for us all? I could probably volunteer.

Im on often as well

I am on when I can be, and post when asked Since I get the GM breathing down my throat if I do not post.

Yeah, and apparently I don't post as often as I should.

Sorry guys, this is still one of my first games as a GM. We're trying our best to post more often, but our work hours suck and they leave me tired.

So if this game isn't going as fast as you'd like, I'm sorry. Really, I want to have fun with this.

Are you guys at least having fun with it?

Will you forgive me for not posting as often?

I am greatly enjoying this, which is why I'd like to pick up the pace somewhat so the game doesn't die. If you can't post as often as us, that's no issue, I'd just like us to speed up in a few areas to maximize flexibility about when you need to post. I'm completely fine with a slower-paced game, as long as it doesn't die.

As far as areas for speeding the game up go, all I'd suggest is having a single person roll everyone's perception, initiative, and maybe knowledge checks when required. Not especially requiring that that person is you GM.

i agree. i dont want this game to die.

Same here because most of the games I am in die D:

Alright, as long as we each attempt to keep posting, even if it's just asking a question or commenting on a part of the world, this will not die.

And do you guys like my concept of giving you guys the info you gather in a Private Message?

hmm, i would say no.

not that it isnt a good idea, but i consider the way i have to read my messages on paizo... less than efficient. it's just extra clicks, extra pages to load (often on my cell phone) and then i have to navigate back to the game (breaking immersion as well). plus if i dont check my message beforehand (although i usually do) or check them and then check another game, i might forget the specifics by the time i get back to this game (i play many games). not to mention that it separates that info from the relevant spot in the thread.

i would suggest it more for time-sensitive information that expires shortly, such as in a pvp game, where your opponent is a player and you dont want them knowing what you know about you.

I'd strongly suggest putting it in spoilers.
