But if I couldn't see them how would I be able to take the shot?

And what tables are we using so I know how much ammo to tick off?

If you are at the edge of the cliff you can see them, because they are climbing the cliff. If they had crested the cliff then my overwatch would have activated. Your turn also occurs before their in the initiative order so they won't have made any forwards progress before your turn.

I'm probably asking a stupid question. But what is the profile for a Errata Bolter? Are those of us with 'boltguns' actually armed with Errata Bolters?

It's an optional change so we have to wait for the GM to decide.

You saw a shape maybe and went for it, I don't know. Tell you what next time you miss you tell me why you missed.

Don't track basic ammo. Special ammo should be rare enough you don't need a table. If you need to know to know if you need to reload, scroll up maybe and count.

We are not going with the Errated tables as I mentioned before they are not better for the players even though that was a misconception which is the only reason I linked it.

The thing is from my understanding there is a Pathway and I was trying to set up at the opening at the top basically like this:

\ /

Plateau.

....I'm very confused. So we aren't using Eratta Bolters?

Apparently not. Thank God. While they are good for Tabletop IRL Games with limited time they aren't good for this.

Right now I am trying to form a rough map of the battlefield and I can't figure it out exactly.

Also I thought you wanted us to track the ammo in our guns?

Yes, however from that location you can't shoot them. Because that's where I am and I'd certainly be doing it if I could.

To shoot them you'd have to be at the edge of the cliff which is at the other end of the pathway. Presumably your X is placed near the peak of the shrine, since you had been there speaking to the Dreadnaughts.

We are for the purposes of reloading. We aren't ticking off from an ammunition total.

Alright

Not to be rude Gaius, but even if you were fireing from atop the cliff and not at the "chokehold" you still got a 94.. you would have missed anyway so its not worth really discussing.

I was referring to ticking them off from my Magazine tracker.

I am mainly trying to figure out what is going on. The reason I am asking is for the fact that if I could see one to fire the shot then wouldn't Hallan as well. Plus given the fact that they are a horde I figure at least a few would follow the path of least resistance.

And the post I made today in the Gameplay the one with my first shot edited in I sent Yesterday about 10 Minutes after the post was made with the Cloud approaching and the Mutant's Howl. Apparently my internet doesn't like Paizo or something.

Sorry all this errata stuff was me trying to help out. Sorry all!

Exactly, so it boils down to:

1) You are at the peak (near me) and therefore cannot fire at the horde

OR

2) You are at the cliff edge (at the base of the peak, alongside Brother Thedius) and therefor could have fired at the mutants.

Those are the only two options.

Oh Okay.. yeah sorry things have been slightly confusing trying to make sense of it. It also seems as though Gameplay has been moving 2 steps forward then a step and a half back.

PhilOfCalth I swear ive done a campaign with you before....

From my understanding they were approaching within 50 Meters with some in sight from the path and the rest on the walls.

But where I wanted to be set-up it would be number 1...

So if I shot technically so could you.

Have you considered that you made your shot in error?

Because that's what it looks like.

Seems so. Guess even a mighty space marine can make a mistake. Or maybe I shot a Devil Rat by mistake while shooting at a noise.

And I probably am the only one that gets that joke.

Could we please move on to the next initiative step? there are mutants to kill people! MUTANTS!

Have you at least made sense of the field now Giaus?

Could we please move on to the next initiative step? there are mutants to kill people! MUTANTS!

We are still waiting for people to declare their actions for the current initiative.

I think I have a basic idea though still unsure on some of our positions like what side everyone is on.

Here's me trying to be useful again:

You can post when ever I will assign actions in order. Brother Leon and Tellemachus' actions will take place after the Horde.

The GM is not waiting on Initiative steps. You can post when you want and he'll order it correctly

@GM Larkin: Oh thanks that was helpful.

Suprised at his sudden failure, Tellemachus seeks to redeem himself. Psychic Energy dances around his arm and then to his hand as bolts of lighting pass from his fingers into the horde.
He is going to cast Smite which is a Half action at the unfettered level. Please note it doesn't just affect one creature it affects 1m x PR(3)
Focus Power Test :WP 50: 1d100 - 5 ⇒ (9) - 5 = 4
Damage roll on Smite: 3d10 ⇒ (2, 3, 8) = 13
It says 1d10 x PR so would that mean "1d10 per PR" or 1d10 then multiply the result by 3? Either way ill roll for both to make sure
Damage roll Smite 2nd: 1d10 ⇒ 9
for the 2nd roll that would be 27 damage total
Tellemachus soon putting self-preservation on front of emotion. Moves backward from the edge of the cliff 5m. Then energy flows around him focusing in on his arm.
He used the half to make a half move. Then he's using his reaction to cast iron arm at a fettered level
Focus Power for iron arm: WP 50: 1d100 - 5 ⇒ (82) - 5 = 77
alas a failure

Wrong thread...

ARE YOU SERIOUS?! ugh.. I typed that on a phone and it was a pain in the neck.. >. <

I'm sorry, but yep. Though I know your pain. I was posting on an iPhone for a lot of this. Also don't melee weapons get your Strength Bonus to Damage? I swear I seen that but now I can't find it...

Yep, they do.
And with ur unnatural x2 it usually ends up pretty horrible for the reciever of your chainsword.

btw is anyone following the news for 40k's mmo rpg eternal crusade? I think it comes out june 25th

0-o there is an MMO!? Is it going to be a Pay-Once, Pay-to-Play, or Free-to-Play (with Microtransactions)? 1st or 3rd Person? What engine? Oh dear lord now you have me excited!

BTW with my rolling even a sleeping Imperial Guard wouldn't fear or have to worry about me hitting him while wielding a Thunder Hammer.

Mutants coming up

*Edit never mind the auto correct makes it look jacked*

Not sure about transactions however I know its third person. Its supposed to take the place of the failure to launch Dark Millennium which was another RPG MMO but was canceled due to bankruptcy by THQ. But the one coming out on the 25th is by Behavior. Basically its a MASSIVE Multiple player game. The Maps are huge. For your character, there are 4 factions to begin when launched. Orks, Eldar, Chaos Space Marines (Woot woot for me!), Space Marines. You can find more bout it by searching Eternal Crusade.

Yeah I searched for it. Looks awesome eat least from what I could see on my phone.

I should get a post up soon once my computer finishes it's updates. Windows has nothing on Linux when it comes to updates.

EDIT: Hey Tellemachus, seems we have temporarily traded luck...

Just as your brothers on the ship gain xp/bonuses from your exploits, so too do you share in theirs. I put a tab under campaign to keep track of this. Thanks to the diligent training of those still aboard the Pious Immolation you may now purchase the Wall of Steel talent for 10 points cheaper once it becomes available to you through your progression options.

Interesting. Just wanted to let you know I won't be able to post in the gameplay until tomorrow when I am on an actual computer and can format the post.

On a side-note: Anyone know what forum the mass deployment Homebrew rules for Deathwatch are on? That is the rules that basically provide hints on running a mission/campaign that is kinda like Dawn of War 2.

Btw could anyone suggest some good Pbp sites? Paizo's pretty good unfortunately not as much love for 40k as I'd like.

Roll20 and Obsidian Portal, I think FFG has their own PBP service as well.

I use Roleplay Market for mine. Spread recruitment threads here and a few other sites and people usually will come join in. I think I put a link in the recruitment. I find for games set-up like this one and Shadowrun-style games it works well you can set-up a thread for their safe house/Base then a thread for each mission/major location. It currently is getting overhauled as well. I think he is wanting to better the scripting functions available to users (you can create dice rolling macros and such) as well as map and Character Templates. Characters are stored in a campaign not in your profile meaning you don't get the character bloating common on here.

Though if it is Black Crusade or Rogue Trader sometimes inter party conflict becomes questionable so they want to see how at least some play before joining.

I play some 40K stuff on Myth-weavers. There's also some play on darkreign and I plan on doing some work on the PbP area there soon. FFGs don't have their own PbP area nor do they have dice rollers etc

FFGs is via a 3rd party site. Or at least it was last I checked. They might have dropped it.

Do you have a link for us, because I wasn't able to find it before

Roleplay Market Take 2.

This one should work. First one failed do to it not copying correctly.

I had a look at that link. Although they talk a big talk on the homepage it is terifingly incative! The features look cool though. I like the idea of mapping. I was thinking of doing something like that for darkreign, where you basically just upload the background image and then you can overlay a grid and play on that.

They cut out a lot of stuff so that it can be reworked. Think of its current status as RPM 2 Open Alpha.

It has a lot of games but none currently recruiting in mass. Most are recruiting from other sites then once they have their selections opening up characters and using said things. The site is still a small community trying to grow.

I am ready, Brothers

Slightly confused...When did the chick show up?

A blue chick...

Crap we have a Tau Spy!

LOL sorry, posted on my Void-Born Arbitrator.

Crap we have a Tau Spy!

HEY! I have a nose! and I'm not a space-communist :D

I'm sorry, we did not receive warning early enough. Accordingly, we will not authorize this activity! You need to cancel the whole thing and start over again later.

I'll leave telling my heavly pregnant fiancee that, to you. I'll be standing outside the regestry office early, just like I was told to do!

Congrats Phil! :D

Slightly Off-topic but tau are my least favorite in the 40k universe. I feel they ruin the game.
