Game Master GrumpelStiltzkin

Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas. May your holidays be filled with joy and laughter.

Nalo's called Mincey out twice now. Let me head off any misunderstanding by saying OOC, that I really like the Mincey character. She's well characterized and pretty funny. She has great 'voice'.

Nalo's just the kind of guy who's going to say something when someone strays from his ideas of the mission parameters, or proper (vesk-like) behavior.

I am happy to let the vesk play "straight man" to Mincey's antics! I enjoy the mix in personalities.

(Although if any of the players think that her actions or words have crossed any lines, or even come too close to them, please let me know.amd I will tone her done and pull her back. I want to keep having fun, but not at the expense of anyone else's fun or comfort.)

I see not problem with it. I usually find PbP to be lacking when it comes to roleplaying and this has been very refreshing.

Seconded. I love Mincey!

Cool. Just wanted to be sure I wasn't crossing a line myself. Some people are so sensitive these days.

I’ve loved everyone’s RP altogether. No worries here.

Well personally, I will not continue to put up with such chicanery and tom foolery. If this does not stop immediately, I will report all parties to the fashion police and the grammar nazis. You'll have red marks all over your records. Don't test me. I'm serious.

Sorry everyone. I have a sick 9 year old right now. I'll get you an update tomorrow.

Hope your young'un is well soon.

No problem. Take care of the kiddo first! We can wait. :)

Take whatever time you need. You have my sympathies. My former-9-year-old turned 10 a few weeks ago, waking up the next day sick. It has now circulated through all 3 of our kids.

I’ll have an update up today or tomorrow. Busy week.

Sorry everyone. I’ve been under the weather a few days. I’ll have an update up tomorrow.

My grandmother used to say,"Damn kids", a lot.

Mincey's been pretty funny lately. I also loved the bit where she runs on all fours with her knife in her mouth to attack in the last episode.

@therealthom - Thanks for the encouragement. This PC is fun to play and I am glad that you are enjoying her too. This table has quite a fun mix of PCs and I'm enjoying it.

Me too! I did just get the Character Operations Manual though, and having read the vanguard, I'm kicking myself for not making Roddy one. There may be a mnemonic editor purchase in his future.

I miss the first level rebuild rule from PFS.

Sorry everyone. Wife is having back problems yet again. I’ll have an update up later.

It's okay, GMGS. Take care of the home front first. We'll be here.

All, I don't have to miss that first level rebuild rule. It's in the 2nd edition SFS Guide. You can rebuild at first level, but you've got to show your next game master what you did.

Well the thing is, after this session, Roddy will be 2nd level so he wouldn't qualify anyway. Ah well.

Sorry everyone. Everything had finally died down some so I’ll be able to get an update up today. Should have no more problems after this. We are at the end so we can finish
here soon. Thanks for your patience.

We are at the end here. After a debrief and a quick roundup we will be finished.

Make sure everyone rolls your dayjob check. I have started working on the chronicle sheets. Should have them done this weekend if not today.

I will post the link when they are done.

profession (archaeology): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Well that didn't work out well.

Mincey has no Day Job.

Nor does Nalo have a day job.

Chronicle Sheets

The sheets are above. These are not the final versions. Just make sure what I have on there is correct before I hand out the final ones.

Profession (archaeology): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Rizzit "Mincey" has obtained reputation previously from the Acquisitives, so the instead of "2|2" in the Reputation section, it should be "2|10" (as Mincey already had 8 reputation previously) or you can just make it "2| " and I could fill in the blank.

Otherwise, the chronicle looks good.

OMID and Rizzit yours have been fixed. Not uploaded yet.

Does everyone remember if they got the implant or not? and if you bought the music album? If not I can look back, its no big deal.

Checking the posts for her, Mincey got both the implant and the album.

Got implant but not the album. Chronicle looks good.

Thanks for running the adventure, GMG.

And thanks to all the players, also.

I hope to see you around the boards.

Day Job (Bounty Hunter): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Woo! Not bad!

Mega Kodrogs chronicle is missing.

I know OMID got the implant, and I think he purchased an album as well.

Roddy also purchased the album. And I'm going to buy a mark I mnemonic editor if I can. Going to respec to vanguard!

Mega bought the album and ignored the tatoo.

Levy got both too.

Oh right, forgot about the implant. Roddy got that too. :)

Okay so I was looking at the SFS Guide and it looks like I can't buy a mk I mnemonic editor with credits because it's a level 5 item. But the Basic Purchasing boon appears to let me buy it for 4 Fame, I think? Can you confirm that for me GM?

If that's the case, I'll spend the 4 Fame to use a mnemonic editor to retrain my levels.

Chronicle sheets are here

Roddy, I have a live game here in a few minutes. I'll be able to check into that tomorrow. I'll try and check tonight, but no promises.

Ok had my VTT game fall through. Roddy I am going to post what I have from the Core Rulebook.

Rather than meticulously track every arms dealer, contact,
guild, and license a character has access to, the game assumes
that in typical settlements you can find and purchase anything
with an item level no greater than your character level + 1, and at
major settlements items up to your character level + 2. The GM
can restrict access to some items (even those of an appropriate
level) or make items of a higher level available for purchase
(possibly at a greatly increased price or in return for a favor done
for the seller).

Since you are level 1 and the item is level 5, I would say it would be very difficult or impossible for you to find that item to buy. I would obviously not increase the price or anything like that. If you really want to go that route, I can check with a few other GMs and see what they think. Let me know.

And I'm still missing my chronicle sheet.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can rebuild your character as long as you're 1st level (your first or second game). After that you're stuck. You can, as Roddy noted, purchase a mnemonic editor with fame. I don't think that is restricted other than the cost.

I was just reading about purchases in the SFS rules last week . You can always buy level+1. If it's on a chronicle for the character, you can buy level + 2. I did not read the fame rules.

Also, you can rebuild freely at level 1, as Dax noted.

Mega I don’t know how I forgot you. I’ll get your sheet up later.

I somehow left you out while reporting the game too. I’ll send out an email to get it fixed.

GMG, I think you can just go into the on-line game report and edit it. E-mail follow up would still be a very good idea.
