The Savage Wasteland of Fallout

Game Master thegreenteagamer

I'm torn

Or, just adding Notice at a D4

Ok everyone. I'm guessing we will be moving along at some point from the school that means everyone should figure out what they are carrying with them.

Use the loot spreadsheet to calculate what you are carrying, I've put all the unclaimed loot on the spreadsheet under the column "Unclaimed or Unsure"

I'm looking at you guys stuff and it looks like several of you are close to being overloaded. The GM has mentioned before that he expects us to monitor our own encumbrance.

I've loaded down BBT and Kristophe. (I think I'll throw more crap on Kristophe once you guys are done and he can just drop his backpack before combat)

I was hoping for Liquid courage to be hella cool, but it looks almost exactly the same as Nerves of steel, except for the minor bonus to Vigor (and toughness).
Our experience has been that booze isn't that plentiful, and neither are caps enough to procure more, so you'd be limited how often you could use it. Also, to use it in combat you'd have to burn a whole action chugging a drink. Whereas the Nerves of Steel is just always on.

Fleet footed looks great! That could get you to close to melee very fast. It just depends what you're feelin'.

Basically I want to make Kristophe unkillable (no that is not a challenge Redbeard) So I'm looking at things like Hard to Kill, Nerves of Steel, the edge where you get a bonus to soak rolls, the edge where you get a bonus to unshake, stuff like that.

Kristophe is gonna be the guy that takes an entire clip from an AK and laughs maniacally while shooting up Psycho and bashing skulls in with his Discipliner.

(Also, Trademark weapon seems flipping cool, makes me think of Negan from TWD with Lucille.)

If we ever get to a town, Kristophe will be buying all the Booze and Drugs he can get his hands on...

So, Maybe I'll take Liquid courage later...I think it stacks with Nerves of Steel.

The metal armor slows down Kristophe by 2...so....
Fleet Foot it is!!!!!! Kristophe now will move faster in a direct line towards the enemy!

Updated my sheet and the spreadsheet.

Machete is up for grabs, as well as the bb gun and football pads. I took the coil of rope, a suit of leather armor, a single shotgun and 5 beanbags and now I'm at max weight.

Edit: though, saying that, taking a crossbow may be better in terms of range and ammo...

HOLY SHEE-IT.

Apologies for my lack of posting yesterday, but my brother and I were chilling and he pulled a freaking knife on me. Long story short, he's now in a mental ward.

I have had a really f*cked up last 24 hours.

Posting wasn't exactly an option for me. I'll be writing now, though.

HOLY GOOD GOD!

I'm very glad that you're all right and I hope your brother is getting the help he needs!

Uh, yeah, that's what we call "a completely legitimate excuse" - and I thought my week sucked with an infection, broken car, and mandatory overtime. I think you win.

Can someone take the 33 bullets that Harper is carrying? She doesn't use guns. I've already taken them out of my inventory on Harper's profile page, and wanted to make sure that I noted it here so that someone else could make use of them.

Glad to see you back. I'm sorry bored at work on a Sunday. Only three people in my department came on today instead of yesterday.

On a side note, with your awesome stealth, the assassin edge would probably serve you well, Harper, maybe thief or woodsman, too. Don't let the edge names bother you. You don't have to be a literal paid killer to be especially prevalent at attacking from the shadows.

Miles, for example, has martial arts, but he never studied jiu jitsu or anything, he's just damn good at bare fisted fighting. I'm a firm believer in you all making your own flavor text for the edges and such. (One reason I like SW over PF)

Speaking of which, its been, what, two days since the dogs died in-game? Which one of you gets a pet tomorrow? i remember one was 3 days, one was 4. Harper, I don't remember if you said which animal type you want, I just remember Aeryicka wants a bird.

Harper, you need to adjust the loot sheet to reflect the things you claim. You also might want to check on your encumbrance

While my reason for not posting wasn't anywhere near as epicly wrong as Harper's -so glad you're alright!- as I got caught up playing FO:NV on my laptop -and watching it crash every now and then cause my laptop sucks-, I am still here. As I said in gameplay, nothing the guards had really suited my character right now, though I'll take the bullets from you, Harper, if they're the .32 rounds. I plan on being relatively light on my feet, a more mobile fighter, so I'll probably drop some of the stuff I already have.

Also, due to my Short hindrance, their armor probably wouldn't fit me anyway.

ALSO also, updated my loot sheet with what I'm gonna carry for now. And I'm gonna use my 1 ability increase to increase my Strength to a d6 so I can deal more damage with my spear. Next gain will probably go towards skills or gaining an edge, not sure yet.

I've update both me and Jimmy from the loot sheet. (It turns out netiher of us can carry jack crap. =) For my advance I just increased t3h Smartz.

If anyone can piece together the hints I've been dropping about Miles, you get 1xp. You get one guess, in PM. Pretty sure I gave far too big a hint at the end.

Badger guessed correctly. Thomas...so...so very far away.

I have no idea. Not even enough of an idea to posit a guess.

Save it, then. I'm sure I'll drop more hints before it's ever revealed should he still be around.

Yeah, I got nothing. Didn't even realize you were dropping hints about something.

They're really really subtle. I mean, it's not supposed to be blatant.

OH F!$!! F%&@! F@+!! F%&+! F&+&! F+++! F~%~! F@%+! F!@*! F%&%! F#&$! F~~&! F@%%! F~*+! F~*&! F++%! F#@~! F&*~!

That was my FIRST guess! But I'm like No way! That was a long time ago! There's no way that would...

Looks like it's game on! =)

Mind you, I'm not even sayin' ol Tom wouldn't be down for somma dat, all things considered. Jus' sayin' we seem to have a road map now...or, as some would call it...an Atlas. ;-) (See what I did there?)

Did Badger tell you?

No. But I have played Fallout 1. ;-}

Getting warmer...but NOT QUITE.

Too bad dudeman that programmed F1 wasn't here. He'd be all "Oh yeaaaah. Back in the day...." =)

I would have taken him had he put in even the slightest modicum of effort. It's rather telling that he didn't make it.

Yeah, still got nothing in my head about Miles.

Oh, GM, quick question a'fore I post: what did Miles mean when he said he would 'petition my dip'?

My lips are sealed, I have not said anything to anyone.

Yeah, still got nothing in my head about Miles.

Oh, GM, quick question a'fore I post: what did Miles mean when he said he would 'petition my dip'?

Hm, seems like that's a mystery, doesn't it? Maybe you should ask him. Maybe he'll tell you. Maybe not. It was said in a complementary tone.

Mmkay, didn't know if it was a misspell or something. Glad he doesn't find me an annoyance or something lol

I need a bit of help here. Where is Miles? The map's gone. What does the room that he's in look like? Are there windows? Structural ceiling or wall damage that would allow for a peek in? Harper is nervous about this new creature, and wants to keep a bit of a stealthy eye on him.

He's in the principal's room. I deleted the map to get ready for the next location, depending on where you decide to go. I can put a small area map up if you decide to fight him here. For now he's blocked the entrance to where he is. Almost as if he doesn't fully trust the people who shot him in the chest. There's a window to the outside, but it's on the second floor. You can probably peek in if you're willing to climb.

Effective immediately, weight limits have been increased. It is now 7x Strength for regular characters, an d10x strength for Brawny. You may thank other players, mostly from the other group, incessantly pushing about this, as well as the fact I eventually want to see a party able to carry the high-end gear.

I'm a little ill today. When was the last time I called a scene for you guys? After killing the slavers, right?

I may be a little slow to respond. Viruses, such as the common cold, laugh at antibiotics used to kill MRSA and other bacterium, like I am taking.

Gonna put this here one more time because some people haven't edited or probably even checked the LOOT log.

If you added anything to your sheet you need to add it on the spreadsheet.

Also, I edited the sheet to reflect the new encumbrance rules.

Sorry guys. Fighting another infection. Worst two weeks ever. Will update when I can.

It's been 3 days in-game. The dog you will see will be Harper's replacement for her Beast Bond edge. Had to go back quite a few pages to remember which of you two refreshed first.

Thanks for the patience, guys. I've been so sick this is my third day missing work and probably my first where I wasn't bedridden and unable to focus.

Hey, Green? May I ask a few things?

Firstly, I must have missed the allocation of new XP. Should all of us be at 11 (or 12 if we guess Miles's identity) right now?

If so, Harper's taking fleet-footed.

Secondly, can I wait to receive another animal companion? I'm not really feeling that Harper would be ready for a new one as of yet. The memory of her first dog's death is too fresh, and I'm having a complete mental block when it comes to thinking up a sort of creature that fits Harper. May I make another post here when I think that Harper is ready for a companion?

I believe that I still have two or so days left before I get my bird. Gonna have to go back a few pages in Discussion to find the bird stats...

@Harper, that's fine.

Sorry guys my wife caught what I had and I've been tending to her. Should be back to normal now.

I wanted to get a nice map up do this combat with walls to hide behind and obstacles etc, but since I left my computer at home in the rush to make it to work on time after missing three days, I dont know if I can, SO we're gonna say the truck servicing area's been stripped by scavengers over the years and it's like an empty warehouse just so I don't keep you guys waiting any longer (you've been very patient, ty) and we can use a blank map.

I can throw a map up...hell I might have one already made. I have about 10GB worth of crap on my google drive.

Found something, gimme 20 minutes to throw it together.

Well okay. I already kinda scattered some random Protectrons, but that would be more helpful. Thanks man.

Semi finished truck stop. it's from a tile set I bought way back when, its for a generic post apocalyptic game.

Added some protectrons you can put em whereever.

Yeah, sadly that file is way too big to edit on my phone. I'm gonna have to just go with the open mat I had laid out already.

We're working on getting net at the house beyond the phone so this won't be a problem for long. Just Comcast has a monopoly on our area, Uverse doesn't do my neighborhood, and f*** Comcast, they're not getting any more of my money ever.

Can I ask what your deal with Comcast is? I keep hearing on the 'net how bad they are, but I'd like to hear your personal story, if that's okay?
We're thinking of going back to ATT after being on Time Warner, but Comcast is always included when that conversation comes up.

Well, aside from their legendary bad customer service, which has been as bad as everyone says...

We signed up for a deal proce for one year. After three months they jacked the price up $30, we call, they swear it will be corrected on the next bill. It's now up by $20, with a late fee for not paying that extra $30 from last month, and still not at the appropriate price. We call. Same swearing of fixing. Up $25 from the quoted price this month, so $5 more th an the month before, and again, they not only didn't remove the extra price from the month before, but late fees for not paying.

This continues for four months with various random prices, none close to the one quoted, until we cancel service and refuse to pay the extra on the bill.

...and now. Well if their Customer Service tried 10% as hard to keep my business as their Collections does to get the money they THINK we owed them, maybe they wouldn't be hated by so many people.

I could have made a map on Excel if you would have said so !!!!

Seriously though, those tiles are a pain....75x80 and they aren't numbered and they are way out of order. Now I know why I use Pyromancers to make maps instead of using those tilesets.

Sorry Kris/Niles :-(

No big deal, its a slow day at work. I'm kinda waiting to see what everyone else does in the fight. I'll post in a little bit if no one else does.
