Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Merry Christmas to all..and hope you have a Happy New Year


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Doc rubs his head as if his own memory is a bit foggy.

Wehl it were ah long night an we have a companeeonn ta rescue.
He rises and shakes out his labcoat. He glances at FIDO and gives a tusky grin.
Ah ya sure ya don' want yer laser upgraded before we head out?


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

GO for it!

And if you can get me some info in regards to the class it would be appreciated.


Silver Prince will be joining us soon.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Morning sunlight creeps through the room. A think haze and a spicy scent hangs in the air from Doc's alchemical work the night before. The game table is scattered with bit of food and the stains of at least three spilled drinks.

Currently Araden, Doc, and FIDO are the only ones in the room.
Doc is cleaning up the remnants of his experiments and holds several flasks that emit a fiery glow.

Ah love th' smell of Alkeemists Farh 'n th' mornin'..smells lahk ADVENTURE...


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Or not.

My job ambushed me with extra workload. The good news is things should calm down form here for quite a while.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Ok lets get this show on the road.

More tonight in the gameplay section.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

And I just heard from Araden, and Silver Prince might join as a PC

so..maybe one more?


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Not yet, things are on hold until Araden at least comes back.

I can also see about getting one or two more players if you would rather.

I will be IMing everyone to see if they are still interested.

For that matter, are you still interested?


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

LOL

I have been waiting on the Silver Princes material. As this is taking a bit longer than anticipated (no pressure SP I will roll it in whem you are done), let us press forward with the game.

The consensus is to press on wih just the two main playes and a couple of NPC's.

There is enough for me to build off to tie in my own material.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

I woud like to keep it one Charachter per Player.

If I do not hear from the other two soon, then I could open up one spot for now if you guys wanted me to.

Here are some other options to keep the game moving:

Option 1.) FIDO and Araden go after Unimatrix's body by themselves.
Justification: Scouts have reported more movement of mutant gnolls or other threats to the town. Doc, Volk, and Imak remain at town to help defend it.
Advantage: Quicker Play and Travel, plus we get Unimatrix online sooner.
Drawback: Very Dangerous

Option 2.)FIDO, Araden, NPC Doc, and NPC Townsfolkperson go after Unimatrix 0.

Advantage:Safer
Disadvantage: Slower travel time, also the town is less defended should anything happen while you are way.

Option 3.) Something else you guys come up with that sounds fun and reasonable.

What do you think?

BTW the encounters and what is out there is already pretty set, the world is not adjusted to party level.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

No word fron Imak or Volk as of yet.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

I will shoot them a pm when I get home tonight.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Any graphical format is fine


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Happy 4th of July!

*Doc carries in an armload of fieworks including a tube large than FIDO with a long fuse*


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

If you want that installed on FIDO between Mugalow, Doc, and a couple of mechanics from town they will do so as part of the reward.

If you would like to do so, give me a d20 roll to check for critical failure or success.

Or if you want to roleplay out this part we can take it to the game play section.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Laser Pistol Upgrade:(This is per Guthrak)

FIDO can apply any/all of the following feats when using his laser eye:

Weapon Focus (Laser Eye), Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Deadly Aim (special see below), Rapid Shot

FIDO can use one feat per round at no penalty. It takes no action to change the feat(s).

For each feat beyond the first there is a risk of overloading his laser eye, risking potential system damage and requiring a cooldown period before he can fire again.

---Eye Laser Overheating Chart--
1 Feat: 0 Cooldown
2 Feats: 1d2-1 Rounds of Cooldown
3 Feats: 1d3-1 Rounds of Cooldown
4 Feats: 1d4-1 Rounds of Cooldown, 1d2-1 Rounds of Staggered
5 Feats: 1d6-1 Rounds of Cooldown, 1d3-1 Rounds of Staggered, 1d2-1 Rounds of 2d6 Fire Damage
6 Feats: 1d8-1 Rounds of Cooldown, 1d4-1 Rounds of Staggered, 1d3-1 rounds of 2d6 Fire damage, 1d2-1 rounds of Stunned
7 Feats: 1d10-1 Rounds of Cooldown, 1d6-1 Rounds of Staggered, 1d4-1 Rounds of 2d6 Fire damage, 1d3-1 rounds of Stunned, 1d2-1 rounds of Unconscious

Deadly Aim (Overcharging)- FIDO can take up to -3 on his to-hit rolls and add +1d6 Fire Damage to all shots fired this round per -1 taken. Each -1 taken counts as a separate feat for the overheating chart above.

Effects are cumulative, and ignore energy resistance and construct/robot immunities.

The first round of any fire damage is taken immediately after resolving FIDO's firing/attacks for the round. Then at the start of each of his turns.

Any cold damage taken by FIDO while overheated reduces rounds of all effect by one round per point of cold damage.

Some spells and hot/cold environments may adjust the durations/table. This can be discovered via play.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

If you did I missed it on the forums.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Unamatrix Zero:
You were awarded 50PP as well. Did you want all three special items from Mugalow? Was there anything else FIDO would acquire? Don't worry about carrying capacity, Doc and the others will help FIDO transport it.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Character creation works a bit differently in my system, but if you would rather stick to the Pathfinder character setups, I can tack on a few complimentary elements of my system.

To keep the game going, lets start with the Pathfinder+Silver Prince set.

Here and there I will toss in bits of my own rule sets, between that and the beta version you can decide what system to continue the game in.

This will give me time to compile and flesh out some of the basics and setup examples based on our charachters.

A few core themes from my system:

All power comes from somewhere.
All power has a price.
Any action or inaction will have consequences.


Right now the only additional player I wouldn't mind adding would be The Silver Prince if he wanted to join in.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Would you like me to take you through character creation or provide pre-gens for what you've already done in the original game?

Yes, we will be keeping our toys, classes, and special tree from The Silver Prince.

I will be running Doc as an NPC for now. Right now the only additional player I wouldn't mind adding would be if The Silver Prince wanted to join in.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Hello,

Here is the new thread:

Story Time With Doc

I would like gmail accounts for Imak and SilverPrince's to make document sharing easier.

Does everyone have access to MS Office products?
If not I will put documents in a more generic format.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

While relaxing for the night in Little Alkenstar, Doc invites the party up to their room to show them a game he's been carrying around.

C'mon in fellers and pull up a chair. Ah came across th' rules fer this game on an ol' holertape. They called in Mistfall, it wuz a sort of story tellin game, where the story went depended on th' dice and who was playin'. Ah've done the best I can to approximate the pieces.

The half-orc shuffles a deck of cards and sets out a tray of poker chips. There is a tray of dice with various pips and even a few blank ones. Unlike most of his scavenged gear, these appear to be in remarkably good shape. There is a grid projected onto the table from his wrist computer and sitting in the pile in the middle are a bullet casing, a grenade pin, a shot glass, a bolt with a few nuts traded on it, and an eagle's talon.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

RL ambushed.me..traveling for business this week
please stand by


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Ok. I will be creating a new thread tonight.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Would you all like me to setup a new camaign or have the admins transfer ownership of this one?

give me a couple weeks to finish up my beta version please

Silver Price- as a caveat do not post anything in an IM or forum you want to retain full rights to hence the gmail setup here


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Could everyone PM me a Gmail email address so I can grant access with Google Drive/Docs?

After reviewing the posting rules, I found out that Paizo owns everything posted in the forums and as I plan on publishing my game rules, I'd rather not post it directly in the forums.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

This was a great game, thank you for running it!

Take care of RL for as long as needed if/when you come back we look forward to playing with you then.
You have my sympathy my mother had the same surgery and even years after she has to be careful about how much she lifts or carries.

That is great that you are thinking about publishing, my own efforts are still in the beta stage
.
I look foward to see what you produce here in the future.

I hate to see this game end.
If you don't mind I will take over the game and if you wanted to send me some notes we can do it that way. Or I can just take it in a different direction.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

I hope everything clears up ok for you.
I had to get a blower assembly and a relay replaced on one of our heat pumps a couple of months back.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

That is ok, if you're helping me beta test my ruleset lag happens.
I hear ya this week is going to be a busy one for me at work too.
And if my rulese tisn't working for ya we can bring it back to pathfinderish

If realtime don't happen that's ok, I was just throwing that out there as another possibility.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Volk, Unamatrix are you game?


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Guthrak could end up more ubergeek and less mad scientist, lest I tread carefully!


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

To be honest I am still on the fence a bit...and this would solve the DM issue that is bothering me here temporarily.

I was also going to see if we could get a live chat, skype, second life or other session going once in a while.

Hmmmm...also I have been developing my own rule set for a game.

If you guys don't mind being guinea pigs for the game I'm willing to give it a shot. It would keep me in for a bit longer.

Heck I'd even be willing for our charachters play the game ICly, it could be fun..give us a chance to get to know each other ICly, and kill some time until the GM comes back.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Yeah how often do you get to play wild charachters like this?
I will miss the half-orc mad scientist if the game ends.
Honestly that is why I offered to run, very few things would stop me from poofing without warning.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

It was fun playing with you guys, pity you arn't local.
The GM here was good too, hope he's doing ok.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

It has been fun, but I am going to drop out.

PBP I don't think is really for me. Between the power-tripping unfair GM in the oher game I tried and this GM poofing without warning it just doea not appeal to me as a player anymore.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

I am all for giving him some time too.

I could cobble something together for the homebrew side of it.
It helps that a friend of mine has a copy of Exodus I can beg/borrow/steal from. (The official Fallout RPG, that had to be renamed due to ownership issues while legal battles are sorted out.)


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

I was thinking of keeping the game going, just change GMs.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

So how long should we wait on the GM?


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Indeed I do. But soon I will be able to stack my bombs with grenades and gunshots.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Any basic alchemical goods/MW equipment ect.

Hopefully the GM wakes up soon.

Doc happily picks through various well-made tools and bundles them up, happy as a halfling in a candy store. He also picks up some base ingredients and reagents for alchemical crafting and spends some time with the boggard discussing spells and formulas, spending some time to copy several new ones into his journal. He tests out his new kit to load a syringe with a basic formula and injecting himself, smiling as his wounds heal further.
Preparing Cure Light Extract in his open slot and using.
The doc cuts into the gnoll/ghoul remains to find out more about the particular mutation and to harvest the depleted Lazurite.
He asks the sheriff about the relic he was handed earlier and where it was found.
Before the long day is done he spend an hour over a foul smelling beaker as he brews up a replacement mutagen, chatting with the others if they are around.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

Are we going to get some down time, if so how much?
Crafting ect, ok I will work up a shopping list and post it
mostly masterwork tools, some formulas and a portable alchemy lab, maybe a special formal book, but we only have 500GP, also probably a cart and bramin/beast of burden.


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

I was also asking what it costs to copy spells/formulas?


Male Half-Orc Alchemist (Grenadier) 1

How much is it to copy spells/formulae?
Doc strides in and lets out a low whistle as he looks around. He offers a hand to the mutated boggard. "A pleasah to meetcha Mugalow, you must know ahm Guthrak already. Ah could use a few things, whatcha got in the ways of portable alchemy equipment an' copeeahble spells er form-you-lays?"

Bring it! Doc readies Limit Break-Weed Whackergeddon
