Hello and welcome!
Guadalupe here, this is my GM Alias, TheRiverOcean. Feel free to call me TRO or Ocean for short ;). Please say hello to your fellow players here and feel free to ask me any questions.
*note The link in my status bar is for another campaign. You may view maps for this campaign in the Campaign tab.
Hello here we are, My need to change something with my PC background but she is ready.
Jonny Panic
May as well chime in on the discussion thread also. I need to know how you want to handle gear selection.
I just went with what I thought she would have, given her background.
Nothing over the top, simple PC with simple stuff.
TRO
Any changes you want to make to my character that were acceptable to GMWW but may not be in your campaign?
@EVERYONE Sorry I totally space out the gear. This is a survival game anyway, and not all materials from the PRD are available here. Because of this, everyone starts with no gear. You'll have to find it on your way. Okay?
@Vanessa looks okay to me!
EDIT: removed as no longer reinvent.
@Venturea First, GM WW never posted about equipment. He planned on providing it when the game started, so you were supposed to build without it. Which is why other payers are asking about what they should have. Second, In the Fallout series you start with the clothes on your back and nothing else. Third, looking for equipment isn't that hard, trust me. Perception for anything useful, Kn Local for where to find guns etc. Fourth, I agree it might be best for you to drop out. Based on what you're looking for in a game you may want to try something else. I wish you the best of luck and fun in your future games.
@Everyone, Feel free to chime in about equipment. It's still early enough in the game that we can ret-con it. I would prefer Fallout style making your way through the world and finding weapons etc, but I'm open for suggestions. If you need something specific for your character to function, then I'll allow that as well within reason. Thanks!
Arrrr sorry "my bad" I should have made clear , I had been Talking v PM with the old GM, he was going to allow kit, just spasific to each PC and their background, I get the idea he/she never got round to it as they vanished,
I had worked mine out that's all. That being said and the misunderstanding understood.
Looking at your last post she's not really starting with no kit, she has a gun but only one round left I'm ok with that, a ridding gecko that will not make it thrught the night, put it down to age or sickness, saddle can be done away with, same with throwing knives, she has none yet, bed roll is just a poncho, so clothing. all good.
If I take airloom weapon, that sorts the gun. So all good.
I have updated her PC sheet, she now has, one round, a dead gecko not fit to eat, a smashed bottle of gut rot, gecko rolled on it, her clothing a old family gun and holster, 1 round of amp, hidden, and her Psicystal. That's it. Ok with that she will stay as it and every thing fits,
Cool if you are GM
@Venturea Ah I see, yeah that was a confusing recruitment. Anyway that all sounds fine, I'm okay with you having those items. Looks like someone is going to have to make their way back to the riding gecko farm once they gather some money ;)
I was always under the impression that Frank would have had some of his gear in his stasis pod with him. Figure one big knife (use game stats for gladius), one pistol (with some ammo), and thieves' tools. If he has to scrounge everything but the clothes on his back I can live with that, but figure at the very least he would have been able to get a club and a dagger in the week or so he's been active.
@Frank go ahead and add a big knife, club, and/or dagger to your inventory, the other stuff you'll have to find along the way!
Ok.
Ok, I will be catching up hopefully tonight, PCI is killing me. The same thing Paizo is going through with TLS except it covers more than that if you are not familiar with PCI inspections.
Sorry yall, the site was down for a bit there.
@Vanessa, sure, just let us knwo when ready!
The vast majority of the time I'm online I'm using a smartphone. So more often than not I can't move my icon on a map.
LOL ... well I would have been ready last night but we know that wasn't possible for a window of time while Paizo was offline.
I am ready when you are TRO. Do you want me to bring myself in or do you want to mold me in?
Go ahead and bring yourself in ;)
TRO, any particular way you want us have or stats listed above our avatar?
Back story now updated for this campaign.
@Vanessa please ust add the pertinent defense info and initiative, Frank has a good example of what I'm looking for!
@Frank, great backstory thanks!
Hi guys heads up I had to fly back to the UK yesterday, because I have a prity bad health problem. I am going to hospital today, I have no iea what they will find or what they will do.
Good luck and hang in there.
Well been in hospital now three days and feeling better, they are going to keep me until Wednesday and then make a call on what next. I have wifi so can post if needs be
Glad to hear you're doing better.
@Venturea feel better, take care of yourself!
Sorry everyone, i usually travel a bit on the weekends and it was independance day =) I'll be posting a bit later!
Oh Man totally missed that about the equipment. ..so I guess I'm fine with having nothing very fallout esc lol
My first job in the Navy was working on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. Now, the crew onboard a Navy ship is split up into departments and divisions. While a "division" in the Army or the Marine Corps is usually made up of several thousand people, a "division" that was part of a Navy ship's crew could be anywhere from about a half dozen people to around a hundred or so. The average size of a division tended to be around a couple of dozen people or so.
Each week, each division on the ship would send somebody to the supply department to pick up their ration of coffee for that week. The vast majority of the people there were getting their division's coffee issued to them in paper bags, the exact amount determined by how many people were assigned to that divsion. Usually one would be talking in the neighborhood of 3 to 5 pounds of coffee for an average division.
Then I would show up representing the flight deck division. We had 120 people assigned. Furthermore, by virtue of the way the spaces and compartments of the ship were laid out, we effectively ended up supplying coffee to anybody and everybody working on the flight deck who wanted to come into flight deck control to get out of the weather and grab a cup of coffee to drink.
So while most of the guys leaving the coffee issue had small paper bags of coffee for their division for one week, I was carrying back two large sealed cans holding 20 pounds of coffee each. I took them directly to a store room controlled by the division Leading Chief Petty Officer (LCPO) and locked them away. Now, the dirty little secret was that we weren't actually using anywhere near that much coffee. Coming back from a major deployment we could easily have several hundred pounds of coffee locked up in the LCPO's storage room.
What happened to all that coffee? When we were in port getting maintenance done the LCPO would approach the contractors working on the ship trading the coffee in exchange for getting them to do extra work that either hadn't been budgeted but needed to be done, or getting them to do jobs that would have been serious headaches for us to do ourselves.
So, what was the value of coffee? It was a significant help in maintaining the flight deck of an aircraft carrier in fighting condition.
:-)
ok this game has slowed right own, is there a reason?
i dont know all i can think if is life =, for me i have not had a reason to post as yet
i dont know all i can think if is life =, for me i have not had a reason to post as yet
I second this thought.
It is not unusual for games to have periodic slow downs for any one of a number of reasons.
Weekends slow down for me. I usually travel and only have my phone on me. Sorry about that!

About Firearms
I was thinking we would use this link and the rules within for modern firearms. Unless anyone is opposed, lets use these rules when handling gun combat etc.
Looks good to me.
yep fine
