Play-by-Post Discussion

1 to 50 of 61 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | next > last >>

Here is the out of character thread for the campaign, feel free to discuss whatever you like here.


Well, just posting to say I've finally added a background to my sheet. If you need to ask me any questions about it, just contact me at

EDIT: Looking over the other characters in the recruitment thread, this will be an interesting party. At least two people who hate/are hated by hypercorps, and I help hock their wares.

Board oddness keeps going, I can not edit profile and can not post in the in game thread, or any other of my in game pbp's...ugh

Sorry man I'll try again later to post and fix profile


Male

Odd...I haven't had a problem. It does log me out rather quickly, but a quick submit has worked.


male Human 8th level seeker/6th level gamer /4th level bad speller

I have tried redoing it, talked to a few folks in chat that had the same issue. Some threads I can post on and some I can not. I could a few hours ago but not now.

I shall keep trying however

Good luck with that Seeker. I have had posts eaten by the infamous and much hated Postmonster, but I have never been shut out of entire threads. Only similar problem I had was when edit would not let me create an avatar until the next day.


Male Catfolk Shade (magically altered human) Monk-8, Mage-16

Have you had any better luck today, Seeker?


male Human 8th level seeker/6th level gamer /4th level bad speller

yes, stll haveing to hit send like 5 times per post but have posted in char and now am working on fixing my profile


New posts are up, just to let everyone know, I am going to be very busy for the next 2 weeks. I'm trying and post every other day, but it might be longer now and then.


male Human 8th level seeker/6th level gamer /4th level bad speller

It's that pesky real life thing isn't it.

No worries it does happen.


Male Catfolk Shade (magically altered human) Monk-8, Mage-16

No worries. We appreciate the heads up.


Male Catfolk Shade (magically altered human) Monk-8, Mage-16

This is starting to get interesting.


Male

No kidding. And only a couple dozen posts in, too.


Male Catfolk Shade (magically altered human) Monk-8, Mage-16

Nice roll, Davi.


Looks like your post got eaten Lorm, it shows up as new on the forum but it isn't in the thread or RSS.


Male Catfolk Shade (magically altered human) Monk-8, Mage-16

I reposted. That was strange, it posted, was in my recent posts and then disappeared. Hopefully this time there is no problem.


Male Catfolk Shade (magically altered human) Monk-8, Mage-16

Sunward is out at your LGS.


Is everybody still on board? Posting has been a little sparse.


male Human 8th level seeker/6th level gamer /4th level bad speller

I was just waiting for you to continue the scene.


Male Catfolk Shade (magically altered human) Monk-8, Mage-16

I also know Davi is online on the site, when he notices people posting, he will post.


Likewise. I just can't think of anything else to do for the next six in-game days that's actually worth posting about.


Male Catfolk Shade (magically altered human) Monk-8, Mage-16

As we all go to Nectar...


Sorry if I left you guys hanging, I was thinking you both wanted to learn a little more before jumping in with both feet.


Male Catfolk Shade (magically altered human) Monk-8, Mage-16

The main thing Savin was interested was that the target was vulnerable to its style of seduction. But your right, I forgot to try my Networking(media) skill again. I could do tha now.


Male

Not sure if you missed it, Ellipsis, but we posted at almost the same time on Tuesday.

Sorry, I posted just after you and didn't look back to see if there were any posts before it.

Savin is a bit arrogant and overconfident in its abilities, especially when it comes to seduction.


Male

Just an FYI, Taka's not so concerned due to his built in oxygen reserve, which gives him an extra 3 hours of breathable air in a vac suit. Not that he thinks the driver knows that, so he is a bit concerned....


I got a few posts up, I will get around to anyone I missed later tonight.

Hey, just some random GM advice, but

Storyteller wrote:

"Are you a complete idiot? Why haven't you plugged in your umbilical?"

The vac-suited driver points to an unobtrusive panel in the car's floor. It sprouts what you had first assumed to be wires, though on closer examination you notice they must in fact be hoses.

Isn't the existence of an air tank for use during extended journeys the kind of thing you'd tell the player was there when he got into the buggy? You know, since the character in question is an observant engineer who's been living in the outer system for several years and the person playing him, well, isn't. This just comes off like you're making false tension.

(Like I said, just offering advice, not an insult. Please don't toss Fineal out an airlock into the void for revenge.)

The vehicle itself is custom, so it is actually not obvious and as you may have noticed, the driver is exactly a friendly fellow. The perception check would have noticed it, but it isn't labeled as such. Don't worry Davi, your drivers are significantly more pleasant.

I want to give the impression that while your mysterious employer is certainly powerful and connected, it isn't some monolithic conspiracy. Some of the people are just like you, for better of worse.

Oh, the driver's just a complete a**hole. I can deal with it. (Much better than the "Your fighter hasn't urinated in three days, his bladder explodes" sort of thing I thought when I read it, no offense. I've probably just read too many bad DM stories.)

That's kinda what I figured. I had no problem with it, found it kinda funny, actually. :)


Male

Figured I'd take the ooc talk over here. My thoughts: an operative is in the process of acquiring a person of interest (that would be Savin and Tamahashi). Another needs to be smuggled off of Luna (that would be Taka, he needs to keep a low profile in Luna). Not too sure how Fineal fits in yet.


Male Catfolk Shade (magically altered human) Monk-8, Mage-16

I am pretty sure Savin is to get him to a specific location and Taka is to take it from there. After that...


Male Humanoid Lurker 1/ Nerd 1

Hey now, I'm just here to sell some valuable thing to some rich fools. Your plots are either connected to one of the rich fools or the mysterious rich people who hired me. I'm pretty sure I'm not the person you're trying to get, and that's only because there are easier ways to kidnap an advertiser with a drug problem.


Male Catfolk Shade (magically altered human) Monk-8, Mage-16

I know your character is not my target, Davi. But the question is, is Fineal really there just to sell goods?

Uh, yes? You don't hire a salesman to kill someone. You hire him to sell things. EDIT: They even told me what I'm selling(sort of) and who I'm selling it to. Trust me, I'm just here to sell something.


Male Catfolk Shade (magically altered human) Monk-8, Mage-16

At least, so they say, and so Fineal believes.


Sorry for the break in posting, this month has been pretty busy. For the time being I am probably going to only be able to post a few times a week, just to let you guys know.


Male Catfolk Shade (magically altered human) Monk-8, Mage-16

Thanks for the heads up. As long as you warn us when you can, we appreciate it.


OK, I have another post up. Right now you all are free to declare new actions, if you feel like things have stalled for your character just say so and I'll move things along.


Male Catfolk Shade (magically altered human) Monk-8, Mage-16

Don't worry about it. You warned us posting will be sporatic for now. Just post when you can.


Male Humanoid Lurker 1/ Nerd 1

Yeah, sorry for not posting. I'm kind of loosing steam at the moment. I have no idea what I'm doing has to do with what anyone else is doing, so I don't post, so I still don't know what I have to do with anything, so...

So, yeah. Lost most of my personal will to go on because I'm in a space station apart from the rest of the group, selling some mysterious thing and generally feeling like a loose thread in this tapestry of a game. If I posted more often I'd probably be more connected, but like I said above it's a self-perpetuating cycle. A downward spiral of apathy, if you prefer.


male Human 8th level seeker/6th level gamer /4th level bad speller

I have been lagging behind as well, rl issues for one but another thing is I am bit lost as well. I just am at a lose at what to do really. I didnt make Oliver as a smuggler really but a scavenger. I'll look over the book tonight and see what I can come up with but honestly I am drawing a blank


Thanks for being honest guys. I had just about everything planned out, but I think I have paced things a bit too slow. Right now each player is going to have one big solo scene before you all meet up. I'll see if I can reformulate things a little, but what do you guys want to see right now? Please feel free to make any suggestions.


Male Catfolk Shade (magically altered human) Monk-8, Mage-16

I'm still here, Ellipsis. Just waiting for the scene to progress.


Male Catfolk Shade (magically altered human) Monk-8, Mage-16

Sorry about posting late. I would have posted yesterday, But I lost my dot and my new Paren, so I did not notice your post.


Male

Sorry, it had gone quiet for days, I wasn't sure if we were still going. Is it just the three of us now?
