And Havelock is for the most part a very passive instrument, so...
I believe that I looked at the post with the intention of getting back to it. I had limited free time yesterday and today. The combination of the two is my best explanation.
I am entirely in favour of GMs rolling for scrutiny in Dark Heresy and other 40k campaigns. I do scrutiny rolls when I GM unless it's for something utterly trivial.
Will post this evening.
You folks familiar with Oculus Imperia? He's a 40k lore channel who I credit with really getting me interested in Warhammer. I've been binging his videos with all the free time I've got on my hands.
I wasn't until now but that looks solid!
I think I saw one or two of his horus heresy videos, iirc.
In an attempt to drive more active participation, rather than roll for you on the Scrutiny and Awareness rolls relating to my most recent post, I have left that to each of you. Please roll, and access each spoiler, utilizing what info you succeed on gaining accordingly.
Also, please let me know how you would prefer to handle such things in this thread: storyteller rolls for speed or group checks (scrutiny, initiative, etc), or you each roll to handle the luck of the dice? Or some in between.
For initiative I'd definitely say group checks... for awareness we can get by without someone rolling but for initiative we'll always end up waiting on someone.
I'm fine with you rolling passive things like initiative, scrutiny, and awareness.
yup, me as well...except when you roll poorly :)
I'm totally fine with passive rolls made by the GM.
I currently have an earache so my response time might be affected.
Ah, I didn't realise that there were varying difficulties under the spoilers.
Apologies for the delay, had a bit of a scare with the wife Sunday night. She is 29 weeks pregnant and started having sudden vision problems and numbness in part of her face. Everyone is all good, vitals for both her and the baby were fine, and no signs of any Neuro issues. She has a history of migraines, the doctors think one may have presented differently because of the pregnancy. Now we just have to stay vigilant for a repeat.
Thank you all for your understanding, will post shortly.
No worries....glad all is good there!
Take care!
Take care.
Apologies for any confusion on round structure. I will mark each round and note current status when I post to help clarify moving forward.
Also, apologies for absence the last 36 hours. We went at work from, "if your governor approves reopen on Wednesday, you will open next Tuesday after Memorial Day" to "no, you are going to open Friday". So it's been crazy. But we have things under control, well, as best we can.
All the best with the rapid reopening!
Jesus. That's why I stopped working retail. The juxtaposition of good leaders having no power and the people in power being s#@+ leaders.
Reminder all, do not forget that you have Fate Points which can be used to reroll checks if you so desire. I will be resetting Fate Points every 3-5 encounters, so do not be afraid to use them.
To Caius' question in the gameplay thread: Regrettably, the work and life complications caused by Covid-19 led our priest to withdraw. I had hope that he would rejoin, but it does not look like that is going to happen.
It does seem that we're missing our priest. That's unfortunate.
By the way, how many shotgun shells did we find in total?
The two shotguns on the rack are "pump shotguns" and come loaded with 8 rounds. Each also has an ammo satchel attached to it's sling, holding 24 more shells each.
The older, shortened double-barrel is unloaded, but has a small weathered leather case on a thin bandolier. It has in it 13 shells - they are of the same gauge as the others but are clearly of a different pattern. Someone could disassemble one to investigate, or it could be tested in live fire....
Cheers, GM.
Ptah I can see you purchased 'Tech Use +10] at Rank 2, and the Utility Mechadendrite gives +10, but I am not sure where you are getting the third +10 from?
You’re right! I wrote up that post while preoccupied at work, apologies.
My apologies, it's been a rough couple of days. I will have a post up this evening.
Understood.
I want to thank those of you who have been active posters for your continued participation and your patience with me and the game. I have definitely been posting at a slower pace than I would like, and certainly far slower than I requested of each of you in the recruitment thread. I fear my desire to allow everyone to post between my posts has then crossed with some RL complicating factors, which has then thrown timing and pace out the window. To that end, I will endeavor to get back to my goal of at least 1 post a day.
That said, we have some players who have slowed to posting once every couple of weeks. To that end, could everyone please sound off on here in the next 72 hours if they are interested in continuing with this game. I think we had a great party to start, and I would love to see it continue. I understand the challenges these last few months have presented have been without equal and totally unforeseen, and the stress that comes with them has altered many people's daily lives. I hope to hear from you all shortly.
Present, accounted for and happy to continue.
I'm one of the guilty parties, and I've had quite a lot of schedule disruptions, but I should've still posted whenever I could. I try and stay away from single-line posting, and at least try and push everyone forward given the information provided, but I've not been doing that as much as I could.
That said, I'm happy to continue with a normal pace, and at least warn if I'm going to be away for a prolongued period of time, if that's OK with the GM.
I'm definitely keen to keep playing. I might not be able to post tomorrow though.
You guys would be lost without me, so I'll hang around =P
My apologies. I've been absolutely slammed with work and many of the games I'm in have not had my full attention.
I'll try to do better...things are easing off a bit :)
Still here and interested! I was backpacking for the last few days, and I guess my post about my absence got eaten.
I'm still about and trying to post, this week has been more hectic than most.
Damn. Just logged into inquire why no one had replied to my post, and my post is MIA. I haven't had that happen in a while. Time to rewrite it. Apologies all.
It happens to me more than I'm happy with.
No worries.
I also notice that some of my posts take a while to appear.
I'm confused. I thought sabotage of the vehicles was on the cards.
Yeah but that should be done prior to entry. Nalthos might make suggestions but as a mutant he knows he's not in charge.
I'll be travelling this weekend and I won't be posting again until Monday at least.
My wife has gone into labor with our first child, posting will be limited the next couple of days. Thank you all for the support!
In the mean time, work out if you are splitting up (I am seeing three potential groups: Yelisaveta to the Habs, Caius/Naltos/Havelock to the bars, Ptah/Julian to the trucks), or if you will move as one unit.
Best wishes to you and your wife!
Wonderful news!!! All the best with the new little one!!
After a lengthy battle, we have a son! Heading home with my wife and baby (everyone is healthy) shortly, will hopefully post later tonight.
Take your time, we'll be here.
Congrats again and I'll say it again here. My posting will be near non existent from the 29th til the 3rd, just a heads up.
Huzzah!! Glad to hear! Indeed, enjoy this moment...the game(s) will still be there....
