Hello all. I originally grabbed the wrong link, the other session of this game. :)

My character is currently stuck in a game that's been running here since the beginning of December but we are very close to the end. We should be done soon so I can update the character. If we are not done by game start.. I don't know, will have to play a pregen or something.

Another of my characters is in that game too. I think it will finish pretty quickly. Assuming we survive.

We can give it the first week of briefing and intros for you to finish the other game, if you need it.

Heh. Which one are you? I hope you aren't Berq. :) If so, we haven't forgotten about you. I think the big bad is just one more good hit away from going down. Of course, I'm having trouble rolling any double digit numbers so...

I think once you hit her, she'll go down. I'm playing Kultanien-the-ineffective-in-combat.

Heh. IF I can hit. I think you've done more damage than me the last few rounds. :)

I've enjoyed playing with you, it's a good character.

I will get Thorval posted soon...

Checking in. Updating character info now.

Will look through social boons, pick one to add before we start. It's jsut one boon per slot other than slotless, right?

Meh, can't edit yesterday's post. Oh well, add the Faction's Freind in as my social boon. That should fill me up.

Other relevant info the GM should know: "Jack" has invested heavily in necrografts. He relies on his blackheart for survival in space and prefers not to use armor or spacesuits.

I am totally not concerned if this on starts a little slow, as I am wrapping up 3 games I am GMing right now... I’ll have a lot more time for fun posts once that gets done!

I hear that. This one normally runs pretty quickly, so we'll take things slow and easy.

Thorval and Jack, make sure to update your information on the slides ASAP.

FYI - Thorval is all about melee, not so good at range. He'd really prefer to be at or near the front.

Works for me, Rocket is all about blasting things from a distance ;)

Steelscales is a guard soldier and also likes to be in the front. He's a ranged specialist though so step ahead of me if ya like.

"Jack" is a scout and he likes to be at the front too.

(But I am fine with him wherever, although his primary weapon is melee.)

Compucast is a ranged type. Happy buffing allies weapons preferably, but also happy to go toe-to-toe with claws. Not that he is good at it, but he does enjoy it.

Does this one have a starship combat? If so I can gun.

Does this one have a starship combat? If so I can gun.

In a conventional sense no, but there is a starship-related event that requires traditional roles.

Thorval really only does well as gunner.

I'm guessing the best setup would be:

Captain: Yith-Naarin
Engineer: Rocket
Gunners: Thorval & Sarangari
Pilot: Jack
Science Officer: Compucast

Sounds good to me.

Sorry for the delay, unexpected family drop in visit this weekend. Will update tomorrow.

Question. I have 5 feet to go and I'll hit a rock. I think what'll happen is I make an acrobatics check to stop, with +4 from boot clamps. Then I can push in another direction and go 10 more feet. Is that right?

Also I just realized I've only been taking one move action this whole time, I assume I could've been making double moves.

Correct, that's how you would resolve changing direction when you make impact. And actually I don't think you can make a double move unless you have a means of propulsion.

You know that does make sense on the double move. It also makes sense that if the whole round is spent moving it would be a double move. Zero g is weird. I'll continue doing one move action though.

So here's another question. What happens if I fire a gun while floating in space?

Sorry. swamped by assessment. Likely a day or so before I can post.

But.. lasers have no mass, so probably no noticeable effect.

kinetic weapons likely need air to make their explosions.

Energy weapons for the most part are unaffected. Kinetic weapons I'm not sure about, I'd have to dig deep into the CRB.

Only rule on weapons in zero gravity I could find is:

Weapons: Thrown weapons have their range increments multiplied by 10 in zero-g. In addition, all ranged weapons no longer have a maximum number of range increments—their wielders simply continue to accrue penalties the farther away the target is.

Seems they left a few things either out to keep them simple or up to table variation..there's also no rules for using a fire extinguisher to propel yourself forward in space...clearly an oversight ;).
But it doesn't seem like you can shoot yourself forward through space..or hit someone with something and push them away (unless it would also do that in normal gravity environments)

And since it takes an thrown item of 4 bulk (2 for small races) to get rid of the off kilter penalty and the weapons section doesn't mention you move in the opposite direction of your thrown weapon..I think weapon attacks just keep your stable in your current position..which is odd for a swung heavy hammer in melee in actual space I think..but you know...magic/science

Firearms should be fine, as even in our current world, gunpowder has its own oxidizer.

Just a heads up, I'll be attending a real-life con this weekend, so my posting may become slow or non-existent following this afternoon. Speed should pick up to normal again either Sunday evening or Monday.

Enjoy your con and thanks for letting us know.

moving this conversation here.

re-reading the zero-G stuff... it is pretty poorly written.

I think that it is trying to say that you can move at full speed for a DC20 check... but doesn't say what you can move without that check.

So, with that.. I think Thorval is stuck on the back side of that wall until I can roll a 13+ on the dice (from what I see, the boots won't help in that check.).

That doesn't seem appropriate, but I guess we'll go with it.

Sorry guys... will pick vectors better next time.

I am fine with a narrated wrap up

I, too, am fine with a narrative conclusion.

If it's just empty rooms from now on I'm fine with just getting all room descriptions at once as opposed to use going through them room by room

That sounds good to me.

Sorry, I thought I did this...
