Also, I'm kinda waiting on you guys in the gameplay thread.

BLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit
Pshhhhhhooooooh. Alright, curse you specific gravity and your unbreakable pull on matter!
Fine. He'll take a 9 and a 32 pistol and their ammo.
Roland, that leaves more 556 ammo for you to have if you like.
I had been waiting on the prisoner thing to be advanced, since we're kinda down here pondering the motorcycle. And, yes, I did a little dance because arc welder are cool as hell, but I had been hoping for something a bit more specific, as in whether or not I have to mud wrestle Gloria for the spare electronics. :p
I would be pretty miffed if someone just took all the caps, since that's the kind of thing that should be split evenly.
But no, I didn't figure it was relevant just now.
Yeah, I think an even split is the best route.
Internet was down all day at work, and posting from home before the kids go to bed is nigh impossible. Sorry for the delay.
I'll take the rest of the frag grenades and the mechanic's jumpsuit if no one else wants to claim them. Are the motorcycle parts for the motorcycle that's there or is it what would remain if we took apart the motorcycle?
I can't drive nor ride. Vulture was a lame tribal, sucked with axes and horses, it's why he self exiled and got obsessed with guns. Was a good scout, though.
The motorcycle parts are for the motorcycle...
Vulture is now an Assassin
Figure out loot soon. I also posted all the Wild Cards stats on the campaign profile page, you can give them items if you want them to have certain things. I also posted a Dramatis Personae link so you guys can keep track of who is who.
Lastly I've made a spreadsheet for community stats (kinda like Kingmaker had kingdom statblocks)
Once, you've accrued enough influence with the Wild Card npcs they give benefits to both the community AND PC's.
So...which one of the links on your profile is which?
Click on Campaign Info at the top of the page. The links on my profile are generally battlemap links
Okay, I haven't been factoring it in- I thought your aid gave me a +1. But I will switch to it for non-combat sections while Gloria putters around.
@Everyone Did you guys take your advance? I think most of you got one. If so, please post your advance here in the discussion thread.
Well, everyone might not have gotten one. I haven't kept track of your individual XP. I gave 3+1 earlier (the +1 was for participating in the interlude.)
I came in late, so I think I'm behind a point or two.
I haven't kept track of your individual XP.
That would have been nice to know when the game started.
I have no idea how many XP I have. I'm going to assume exactly 10 XP, and I'm right on the nose for the second advance. I should have the same amount as whoever else did the Interlude, so they can tell me if that's correct.
Why would you assume I'm keeping track of you guys xp?
Sun just handwaves levels in his games. Probably used to everyone else doing the same, I guess.
Yeah, I'm not keeping track of individual in mine, either, anymore Sun. Since Spencer is now a point behind everyone else, I'm not in the mood to track individuals.
It's been years since I've played a game where that isn't the case. GM says "Time to level", and it's level-up time. Even when there IS EXP to keep track of.
Well in a game like pathfinder where Levels and CR mean ALOT to the GM and the story they wanna tell, then I understand handwaving xp and leveling up everyone at the same time. In a game like SW, your xp doesn't really matter to the story honestly.
I mean, they matter roughly to the same extent: it's easier to survive tougher fights when you have more XP. There are less intense differences in between Advances in SW than levels in PF, but they do essentially the same thing for the story, by letting PCs conquer greater threats.
That said I'm fine with tracking my own XP. For anyone else, I think if you've been here since the beginning and did an Interlude you should be at 10 XP exactly, so a second Advance. I'm at 9, and Gloria may be there or a point or two lower, I don't know exactly what she came in with.
All righty. Roland is now a Quick Draw. No more dropping my rifle for machete work.
Now that V has the Assassin edge I'm thinking of going for Thief for the flat stealth bonus, and then raising my skills to get Woodsman too. Flat bknuses are best.
OTOH raising agility will allow me to raise stealth and guns the level after.
Decisions, decisions. At least I have another 5xp to decide. As I said, this level was Assassin.
Guys, I cannot stress to you enough of the importance of regular consistent posting.
I'm not naming names, but the problem isn't all of us.
*whistles innocently*
In case you guys are wondering what kind of vibe I'm going for with Wright Town. Here is a historical example
Here is what wikipedia has to say about the topic
I'm an amateur Historian (it was my minor in College) and I find the labor movement (and by extension the use of company towns in the late 1800's) very interesting.
That's what I figured you were going for. It's definitely an interesting aesthetic, though horrifying in hindsight.
I did the exact same thing with Falcons Hollow in my other PbP set in the Darkmoon Vale. Eventually the heroes enlisted public support and overthrew the "Boss".
Should I have been rolling Vigor checks every time I lit up? I've been lighting up a cigarette every time we stop somewhere for the night.
I figured Habit meant I was already addicted so I didn't bother to roll anything.
Not sure how Niles was gonna do it, but the idea I had in mind was if you already had Habit as a hindrance you weren't just physically addicted, you were mentally, and it wasn't going away no matter what you did, whether it was a doctor's visit, fixer, etc.
Oh, yeah right thats fine.
Don't worry about the rolls then.
Coolio. And I just now noticed cigarettes actually have a benefit, which is neat.
Roland's Shopping spree:
10 cigars (50 caps)
13 5.56 ammo (13 caps)
25 5.56 Armor Piercing (100 caps)
25 5.56 Hollow Point (100 caps)
1 Stimpak (175 caps)
1 craaaaazy night (62 caps)
= 500 cap scrip spent
Ooh, got a great idea for the town name! Gateway! Since it's the gateway to the vault, and the vault's gateway to the outside world!
Okay, so now the Community is up and running. The stats are located up at the top under "Community Stats" the rules I'll be following are in the campaign info tab "Scrapping and Community Building"
Currently the Community is in one hex its labeled on the map "Larger Scale Map" as a pink hexagon. Right now it consists of a few shacks and the beginnings of a farm. Each week you guys can either direct the community to take an action or I'll auto pilot the community into "Gathering Resources"
The rules are very bare bones, and if you see something else somewhere that you like (IE Ultimate Campaign or Kingmaker) I'm more than happy to include it here.
As far as naming goes...I'm waiting for you guys to have some sort of consensus for now I'll keep calling it "Community"
One thing I liked about KM these rules don't have is you could get positions of power with a bonus to your community, like general or whatnot.
Well, I planned on including bonuses to specific actions if a character who is "trained" in that action assisted in the action
Example: Crayon Levy(and Gloria) is a scrapper. If the Community sent a group out to harvest scrap and Crayon(or Gloria) led them, the roll would be at a +2
Example 2: Abdi Johnson is a soldier, if the Community sent a group of militia led by Abdi to patrol a hex, the roll would be at +2
The problem I run into is that most of you aren't really built for non fighting things. I've noticed that a majority of you have devoted most of your skills towards fighting, so I took that to mean you were more interested in adventuring and less towards running a small fiefdom.
I...um...can intimidate and hide and notice and...uh...
Executioner!
Knowledge Skills would be useful in running a community Skills like
Knowledge (Ecology) would assist in farming or
Knowledge (Engineering) in building or
Knowledge (Tactics) in mass combat
Edges like Scrapper also help. NPCS that are recruitable and convinced to join the community can also assist in making it better!
I think Gateway sounds really good. But we can discuss it IC to make it official.
Agreed, but since we haven't had Jack come back up, I figured I'd mention it here. :-D
I'm a little unclear...am I supposed to be RPing Jessica too? Because controlling a cohort is annoying enough for me, talking to myself just feels silly and I'd rather not.
