[SFS/Shifty] #3-03: Frozen Ambitions: The Shimmerstone Gateway (B) (Inactive)

Game Master Nik B.

Hi all!

I'm keen for us all to try to post regularly (aim for once or more per weekday and, at least once on weekends). Whilst adventures can be caught in 'conversation loops' back and forth, I will endeavour to keep things kicking along and get the gist of where a conversation is going and keep us pointed in the right direction.

Work, study, and wild parties in Mexico have a way of getting in the way sometimes and if that is likely please leave a post in advance if you know that you may have limited time/ability to post for a period of time (and when we can expect you back).

On that note, I am posting from Sydney, Australia. Most of you will be posting when I am asleep so when I get up around 0500 odd I usually do the catch up over a coffee, and then usually in the afternoon/evening each day.

I will generally roll Initiative (and any other rolls if really required), but not to shaft anyone or railroad them, more in the interest of giving you some sort of outcome to then respond to - I aim to complete a single round of combat within 24 hours.

When in combat, unless a PC has left botting instructions or made arrangement for another player to bot them, I will place any PC that has not posted within the past 24 hours (48 hours on a weekend) on delay.

If a single skill check has been called for, I will accept the PC with the highest skill bonus as the "primary" and all other attempts by PCs for the same check as aiding another.

Thanks for running this Shifty, happy to be in one of your games again!

Chris, Ilmakis, caps, nice to play with you again, and Xynen happy to meet you!

With how our party looks I guess we'd be better off with a biohacker than an additional vanguard. Thoughts?

Hey Shifty! I'm really looking forward to this but I am realizing I need to drop, struggling to stay with the games I am already in. I always enjoy playing your tables, so I'm sad to miss out this time. Catch you next time

@CaptainBacon - welcome!

@Caps-AWWW :( ok mate, say well, see you in future games!

I believe I'm gonna go with the Biohacker, though I still have to put his profile in order.

DC10 Ref for half - all but Edward.

[dice=Reflex DC 13]d20=12

Agatio takes the brunt of the explosion, and wipes burn slug ooze off his armor's faceplate.

Unless I read something wrong Agatio, the DC was only 10 so it looks like you pass. Looks like you took away too many SP as well.

Just starting the semester, so I might be a bit less active for a few days, apologies in advance. Should fall in order in a few days hopefully.

I don't know why, the thread never showed on my feed until now :(

Very sorry guys...

Can I jump in?

Jump in

Thanks, and sorry again...

Good catch, thank you!

I'm likely to have some minor disruption to my ability to post from 21-28 Sep (inclusive).

Work needs to send me away for another Covid task. I'm expecting super long days and a long transit time there and back.

I should still be able to post at least once daily but may miss a day here or there.

The Second scenario in this series has been announced and will drop 28 October.

I estimate this table probably has about two weeks left before completion :)

If we survived :P

One more decent blast should do it! :p

Congrats!

Chronicles

See you all soon for #3-09: Frozen Ambitions: Freeing the Herd starting 28 Oct :)

Thanks for running! Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks Shifty!

Looking forward to the next one too :)

Apologies for not writing here sooner, life was pretty hectic! Thanks for running this Shifty, it was a great game, and I also look forward to the next!
