Starship Fantasies Playtest (Inactive)

Game Master Brian Minhinnick

K. Will do. Thanks for the heads up.

Alright Syarha, this is your final warning. If you haven't posted by the time I get home from work this evening (about 7 hours from now) I'm gonna have to turn you into an NPC. It's nothing personal, but I insist on keeping the game moving. I hope to hear from you~

Yay! Good job folks. How do you think our first combat went? Any feedback?

Wow, Walter is fragile... will have to do something about that...

I really quite enjoyed it (Despite some awkward rolls) ;) I can't think of anything bad about it. Ran quite smooth and quick which is nice for PbP. Yep you ran it really well :D

Walter I only have 3hp more than you when at full health so I think it was just because there was two of them getting chunky slashes in :P

Yeah, it was the fact that they were basically untouched and you were in there alone with them flanking you. And good rolls. It's a good idea to shoot at melee opponents for as long as possible in this game, and rush ranged opponents as quickly as possible.

This was actually my first sci-fi combat, but I think it was fun. That goblin (as I'm soon one of you will discover when you search the body) had just finished rigging up a big C4 charge and was gonna suicide bomb you for 6d6. Wewt wewt Syarha's magic missles.

I enjoyed it. The weapons seem to do a lot of damage, but that isn't necessarily bad, it just means we have to be careful about getting hit.

Hight damage can be fun. We'll just have to be a little more tactical and a little less stand out in the open and get shot at.

Indeed.

Once everyone makes their way to the shuttle bay we can move on. Kimefe, haven't heard from you for a while. You around?

Yeah, sorry about that. Been busy and there wasn't much going on so was just waiting. I'll try to post stuff more consistently.

It's cool. I'll wait till I get home from work today before posting the next bit, if Leo hasn't posted by then we'll just assume he's on the shuttle.

Just came of an 18 hour night shift and needed to sleep sorry for not posting. There might be more of these though I will try to post, so feel free to gmpc as needed to keep the pace, which I think is great.

I try to avoid it or take the least amount of action possible. If I GMPC you and it's outside of combat, feel free to fill in the details whenever you post next. That goes for everyone.

No need to apologize, I'm mostly only going to be a nazi about it when we're in combat.

Guys?

Yeah, I'm waiting on y'all. When you're done making plans or whatever the servant will take you to the headman.

I'm all ready, seems like the consensus was to wait and see what happens.

Leo's in charge, kinda have to wait on him to get moving.

Will post more when I get home from work, didn't have time just now.

Sorry to say, I will be moving, so if you could bot me the next week or so, I will try to find time to post, sorry guys.

That's cool. We're not in a fight. If the others need your magic for something I'll bot you. Otherwise, you'll just be extremely introverted. Thanks for letting me know.

I should update the game, but I've had a lot of extra work this week and am just not feeling it. Good news is that tomorrow I have almost the entire day off and to myself, so I plan on updating then. If anyone else wants to go see Auriel or go to Main Street please try to post your intentions if you see this before then. Otherwise I will assume Leo, Kimefe and Grunk join Horus as they expressed interest that way.

No problem. Just started a new job so I am a bit bogged down at the minute aswell but I should still be able to post regularly :D

pulling a double shift, I'll properly be able to post in 20 hours

Sorry about not posting had a rough day at work, will try a get back to normal schedule.

No worries. I'm running 4, about to be 5, PBPs and playing in that many if not more. I'm willing to go at whatever pace you guys set at this point. During combat I'll still be strict, but during these investigative times it's no biggy.

Just as a heads up, I will be gone most of Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday next week. I might be able to post in the evenings, but most likely I will be using that time to catch up on sleep.

I can't help but feel that we are losing some momentum here...

Agreed, not sure if it's just time and summer or something I'm doing. What's the problem here guys? I also just realized I never replied to Grunk's last question. Let me do that.

sorry I was waiting for Reggie's answer :P will get to posting a reply now.

What time is it in game?

I'm sorry guys but I'm going to have to bow out of this game, real life is getting in the way. Thanks for letting me play

It's probably about lunch time now. We'll say 12:30.

Sorry to see you go Walter, thanks for playing.

Do you guys want me to recruit replacements for either Walter or Syarha or both? I could also look for a PC medical officer if you would prefer that.

Hmm medical officer would be useful. I think replacements couldn't hurt better to do it now while we are on planet :D

Ditto. Being on planet would make the role-playing bit a lot easier.

An influx of fresh blood couldn't hurt.

Sorry I dropped off grid guys, but I am officially quitting for life reasons. Jelani, I wanted to say that you were the BEST GM I have ever plaued with, and honestly, I aspire to eventually be as good as you. Guys, you all rocked the roleplay, and I am sad to go, and happy I could play.
-Tanis Half-Elven Signing out

Thanks bro! Not sure I deserve it, but I hope you get on well in your endeavors.

I reopened the recruitment everyone, but so far no bites.

Okay, here's the situation. We have four players left, with Leo not having posted in the last 12 days. That makes me think he's probably not coming back, especially since the post 12 days ago was "I'm working double shifts etc.."

The recruitment thread is open, but I'm not sure if we'll get any interest. I'm gonna put the game on pause until Friday (it's Tuesday right now in my timezone). If we haven't heard from Leo and no new recruits by Friday we'll decide what to do then. We could keep going with three, but I'd have to change the flavor of the game quite a bit I think.

See ya Syarha :)

I think I have seen Leo posting in other places so maybe he has just been a silent follower :P

And I am back, sorry got a bit caught up in work, but I'm leaving the company this Friday, so I'll have a bit more time on my hand. I'll do my best to resume posting.

It's all good man. Glad to see you back ^_^

Are we still waiting till friday? :)

Now that Leo's back we can play. I just have this thing where less than 4 players doesn't really do it for me in most games.

Hello. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Mordanna. I will be the new pilot. DM Jelani has graciously allowed me to play in this game. When we hash out any details on my backstory to work me in then I will begin posting in the gameplay thread. I look forward to meeting you all!

Since the players are already out and about, would you be cool with Mordanna being a Guild pilot rather than an academy graduate? It would be a good explanation for her presence on Cygnuss IV.

It sounds good although I would like to know more about what the Guild is.

The background has been changed. Feedback is always appreciated.

The guild is a monopoly on interstellar travel. They also control the majority of the Arcanicite in the galaxy. They provide most of the funding for the FEF. It's essentially a giant corporate monopoly that's more powerful than the Federation government and has enough money to control everything.

So you could have been an escort ship pilot (if you want to have had combat experience) or a freighter pilot or anything in between.

Excellent. I will finish modifying my backstory and finalize the details on her Sunday afternoon (CST).

I will let you know when I have finished. I am super tired so I am going to bed for now.

Grimwold, you could do your drinking at Thog's place. It's cheaper than fortune's palace, and less people try to talk to you there.
