I need to redo it and make more links with less spoiler stuff.I'll move those to the top when I tinker with it
So :
12 horses, with saddles : $2400
LeMat : $25
Shotgun (assumed double-barrel, full length) : $35
4 colt peacermakers : $60
4 colt Frontiers : $60
a dozen Winchester '73s : $300
Total : $2880
Selling price (with Raise) : $1440
Divided by just us 3 : $480
I'm assuming no one in charge wants a cut, since we did all the work. Also that the townsfolk we rallied to help us don't either - I'm assuming they got paid in a head or two of cattle.
You can choose to cut them in, both yeah the two folks got paid and the Hired guns from Black river took a big cut of the reward before you even got back to town.
I thought about trying to recruiting some more folk. But my posting has been so slow over the last six months I am not sure it will work. I am trying to post more often and get my RL issues a bit more controlled. To be honest I am supposed you three stuck around this long as I got my RL stuff a bit more in order, much appreciated.
Trust me, I know how RL can turn around and bite a person.
Once you feel that you have it all under control, then try to recruit one maybe two more.
Until then, if you want it to be the three musketeers, then I guess it will be three. :)
Well, I got a list of items, that I am going to be picking up.
But I do know that most small towns will not have things I am looking for.
Probably end up grabbing in small groups. :)
You can order stuff and you have the money to pay for air shipping if needed. This weekend I am gonna post up and see if I can scare up some more players.
You guys need not follow the trail of the two bandit brothers. You can simply consider them not your issue and hang around town.
Problem with that is we are a moving target.
I will just grab stuff as we go.
Just out of curiosity, you stated the magnum ammo is $5 for pistol cartridges, and $10 for rifle.
Is that above the normal cost ?
Yeah, I just pulled the prices out of the Smith and Robards 1880 book. So the prices are as listed, as they are a bit higher than the core prices.
No worries, I don't have that book, so I couldn't look up prices.
Does he have any ghost iron ??
And of course, I forgot to ask about the .44-10 round.
Does it fall under rifle, as it sits in one of the Winchesters, or Pistol as it sits in the frontier.
I am willing to pay for the magnum rounds either way, just wondering which category that it falls under.
Sorry had a long weekend and missed this. He does not have any Ghost steel but can order it, the .44-40 is a small rifle round. The frontier is chambered for the round, but it was created by Winchester in the 1870's as a rifle round. Why yes, I know too much useless information about 19th century firearms.
No worries on the knowing of old wheel guns and lever guns.
Whats the word on the .45 Long Colt?
Deadlands count .45 rifle rounds as large caliber rifle. So its both depending on what you are buying it for. They just don't call it a long colt just "Rifle .45". The amount of calibers in the old west was a bit wild.
Funny thing, though. The .45LC was used in the colt single action army. So I guess it also is a case similar to the .44-10
It also used in the winchester 73. :)
The .45 LC were a bit long, which cased issues with the Scofield's the army bought, which were modified Smith & Wesson model 3's. They used a cartilage that was shorter than the .45LC. And the Army discovered the Scofield could not fit a colt round, but the colts could fire the shorter .45 Scofield. So they tended to just use the colts.
Now that is a tidbit that I never knew.
Thanks for that. :)
Another fun fact, Major Scofield 's brother was the head of the army ordinance board. I am sure that had nothing to do with the Army ordering them .
Are we dead here folks?
Waiting to head out?
I posted up you guys moving out. Was giving yall time to roleplay if you wanted or add something as the adventure just kinda jumps from one spot to the other with little in between and that felt a bit awkward here.
Sorry guys I got slammed last week, We are moving on.
it happens to us all.
My last week, had to put a dog down, my son brought a baby home.
along with a lot of other stuff including trying to get the house baby proofed.
<- New proud Grandpa. :)
Congrats!
Sorry to hear about the dog, my condolences. But congrats on the grandkid!
Appreciate the thoughts on my 90 lb lap puppie.
She was a boxer mastiff cross, and did not like strangers.
And here we brought a tiny little stranger into her house.
So we did the right thing, even though it was painful for us.
But our grandchild, (kids are staying with us, as they cannot afford a house right now.) is living with us.
So without access to the books, I will do a bit of shopping as well.
Just kind of seeing what will pop up.
On days off. Will respond on monday
That is understandable.
The man shakes his head "Oddly I had a fella want such things a few weeks back. Not sure why you want such a thing, silver makes a poor weapon. He came in order a lot in.36 .45 and .44. He took the first set, but never came back for the rest" He walks into another room and brings out a box, with three sets of such bullets.
"He had us make 20 per each caliber, paid up front. Damned odd he never came back for em. I'll tell you what, I let you have em all for say $4?"
So when you said 3 sets, was that 3 sets of 6, or 3 boxes of 50 ??
Ah, sorry for the confusion. There are 20 of each type, one per box. So three boxes of 20, one for each listed caliber
Ok, I understand now, 20 total .36, 20 total .44, and 20 total .45
I can work with that.
Might be a bit more pricey for me, but I can work with that.
Yall should have a chunk of change at this point
I Will not be on over the next few days.
I have to go attend a friends celebration of life in a different province.
Wife and i are off to Hawaii again. I will try to post, but bot as nedded.
Should be back in 2 weeks
Enjoy your trip
Happy hoidays all
Happy hollidays as well
Backatcha!
Well, I will be somewhat, but not really monitoring for the next 4 days.
I can monitor better on the 1st, when I am back to work. :(
Happy New Year.
if any of yall are in the path of that winter storm, good luck!
I'm on the edge of it - so far it looks like 2" and the roads aren't accumulating anything...
Same here, About an inch and then so much rain. aAnd today we got some ice. Got missed by most it.
Hope Keeper doesn't mind if I post this here...
ALL - there's a SW RIFTS game that could use some infusion of new players. For those who don't know, RIFTS is a high-tech world where everyone is as powerful as many Supers, but mostly from tech or psionics. There's many races, and the PC's belong to an organization that fights a totalitarian regime. Google "savage rifts" "world" "description" (with the double quotes) for more information.
If anyone's interested, you'd have to buy the SW RIFTS book (only $10 PDF). The link to the recruitment page is HERE.
Well, I do like me some Savage Rifts.
I had the rifts books. But didn't like the fact that they just kept getting stronger and stronger, as each book released.
But I will take a look, and see whats brewing.
Maybe I will resurrect a cyberknight character I had during my FTF game.

The Savage Worlds version addressed this by normalizing all of the characters, so while characters like the Mind Melter and the Cyber-Knight are powerful, people without magic or psionics or cybernetics like the Wilderness Scout and Rogue Scholar instead get special skill expert bonuses that let them hang with the superheroic crowd.
The SW version also added an in-world faction called the Tomorrow Legion as a way to bring characters together under a common heroic umbrella, to explain how all of your freaks and weirdos became a party.
There is an online character creator here for making all kinds of Savage Worlds characters, and you can make a free account and then add a new character, select Rifts for the type, and then walk through the whole process with the creator keeping track of all of the points that you have to spend and choices to make, and letting you save the character at the end.
Just a heads-up : anyone who's created PCs in the SWD version of RIFTS will be surprised by the amount of re-working in the SWADE version. A lot of the way over-powered templates got nerfed (not "too nerfed", just nerfed).
