This is the discussion thread. More info to come.
Roll call in the discussion thread.
That's two. I'm hoping to hear from the two more and then we can start the intro as I get the maps and logistics in order.
I have not forgotten about this. I'll begin poking the others.
I suggest that we revisit this with some recruitment at the turn of the new year. Sorry all. I won't give up on this.
I'll be reopening recruitment tomorrow.
RPG chronicles link is up.
I'd like this information in your character's header. It doesn't have to be in this order, just make sure that all of the information is there. If you like to include more, go for it. This is the minimum.
race theme class (specialization and/or archetype) level | SP: X/X | HP: X/X | RP: X/X | EAC X KAC X | Fort +X, Ref +X, Will +X | Init +X | Perc +X | Spells 1st: X/X |
Also, if there is any unusual mechanics that you are using (i.e. you had to go over it with GMs in the past) then lets go through it now, before the game begins.
So far, only one person has put their info in rpg chronicles. I was hoping to use that as a bit of a roll call. But it was unsuccessful. Since we're after the winter holidays, I'd like to see if we can get this started. Please post here or in the gameplay with an intro.
Doublechecked Burn's stats. Signed up in RPG Chronicles. First post in game play imminent.
If your character speaks drow, please let me know.
Burnham is no linguist.
Note: I don't think we can finish this by the start of the upcoming Gameday. Even if I tried to speed it up, I just don't think it will happen.
If my view on this changes, I will let you know.
Okay. Thanks for the notice.
Apologies. I'll update in a few hours.
Boon: Live Air Celebrity (Social)
Pretty much all the scenarios I've played with this character only gave achievement points and I haven't gotten around to redeeming them, so that's all I have, lol.
S'ok. I still don't know what to do with achievement points.
I added the image of Ceobarn Zeizerer to the slides.
Also, please add your tokens to the 3rd slide
I see two aids...
Well Burn wasn't going to try to take lead on diploamcy. You can see how his aid turned out. We need a primary roller.
I was hoping to achieve this via roleplay. This is a section that requires a number of successful skill checks. Skills can't be repeated, you have six attempts total, you've used two.
Anything you can justify.
Good to know what the goal is, even if you had to meta-feed it to us.
Acrobatics +7, Athletics +8, Engineering +4, Intimidate +5, Medicine +4, Piloting +9, Survival +5,
Burn doesn't have any really shiny skills. Athletics would be his best but the armor check penalty reduces his score. His biggest talent is being willing to stand in the way of danger. And having good armor and a big gun.
Each of the checks does not have to be attempted by different characters. Aids are allowed.
I'd accept spell expenditure, so long as it is a relevant spell.
3/6 skills attempted
Already used:
Diplomacy
Intimidate
Computers

Thoughts for other things to try:
Burnham - Acrobatics, Athletics and Piloting to show we can engage in pursuit of different types
Oshari - Sense Motive (with theme knowledge) for being able to sort through any information we get for truth (though that may be hard to demonstrate)
Vomatian - Engineering to set a trap or avoid one
Kapteyn - a random blast spell right prove that we can fight, or fear for additional information or comprehend languages for spying
If you all desire it, I suppose you could just declare that you are done with your attempts before 6 attempts.
Apologies for the straighforwardness of the post. I am feeling unwell today, but wanted to get this next section started.
I will note, aids are still relevant for the street team.
Also, I'm not sure if I made it clear, each of you must decide whether you are on the net team or street team. It is not possible to swap teams.
I've got all but Vomatian having declared. I need your declaration Vomatian.
Well... okay then.

It occurs to me that at least with this heist, the one thing we don't really need to worry about is getting caught, since we have diplomatic immunity and we're stealing from thieves anyway.
With that, I'd say that the order of priorities for information would be, from most to least important:
1. Floor Plan
2. Troop Composition
3. Information on Security Network
4. Guard Posts
5. Access Codes
since we can make educated guesses on a lot from the floor plan, and we're not exactly swimming in stealth, so we'll probably end up in a firefight no matter what we do. What do you all think?
Burn's not very smart himself, but he values intel. Another round of info gathering is a good idea.
In general I agree with your priorities with the possible exception of Access Codes. Meta gaming -- How do we think Vomatian will do versus locked doors and such? If we think +12 and +13 will get us less than a 75% success rate then we should raise their importance.
Given the inputs, I will be going with the 3:
Access Codes
Floor Plan
Troop Composition
I'll update later today
Apologies folks, something came up yesterday. I'll definitely be getting to it today
At this point you are encouraged to plan your operation. Please feel free to do so in either this discussion thread and/or the gameplay thread. Though, please only use the gamelplay thread for in-game stuffs.
You get to attempt whatever you want.
Normally it is a 2 hour walk to the warehouse, or 1 hour via rented urban cruiser
