Sorry guys I screwed up: I forgot that State of Origin Rugby is a winter past-time. No idea how that slipped my mind.
I'm going to say they're broadcasting a re-run to cover the plot-hole. Will do better next time.

That is completely unacceptable. Totally destroys the verisimilitude. I...I... I can't go on. I think I will need to drop out of the campaign now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Agreed. I've ruined the whole thing. Oh well, good game guys. It was great playing with you.

The first half of this video (~15 minutes) covers the basics of the game nicely:

You know I just realized that you guys could theoretically just sit on your hands for 5 days, have the Woolworths team win on their own merits, and get paid with a bonus for being so incredibly stealthy...

I was just assuming that they would be severe underdogs or that some proof of our work would be required. More stuff to find out about (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Couple of points of pbp etiquette. Usually in the IC thread, signatures are not posted (check box down below turns that off, by post) and names are usually bolded, in order to be clear that it is a proper name. Of course, it is your game, so just let me know.

Rolling for starting resources
3d6=11
Which gives him a total of 660 + 250 = 910 nuyen. (edited char sheet as well)

Rolling for negotiation (this is the basic roll, please adjust for modifiers as needed).
10d6.hits(5)=0
Great first roll of the game, 0 hits (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hey, it could have been a glitch, right?

I suppose I should roll for the Bruce.

3 hits

Hey Chrome, could I get a raw charisma check please?

EDIT: Actually, could everyone who wants to give me a raw charisma check? Also, you get your normal bonus dice for a successful etiquette check on this, etiquette threshold 2.

Not sure exactly what you want me to roll, but here goes.

Etiquette
10d6.hits(5)=4

Raw Charisma
5d6.hits(5)=0

Critical Glitch! ROFL.. how badly am I messing up here? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/embarrassed.gif)

Depending on the consequences I might take an edge to soften things up.

I'm beginning to think that you were leading the group on when you said you had face skills (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Well, I think that it's safe to say that you're not getting a base pay increase this run...

I will say you have me confused a little as to what to roll as well.

Here is my Etiquette Check:

9d6.hits(5)=2

Here is my raw Charisma Check:

5d6.hits(5)=1

In 5e, a successful Etiquette Check means you move the NPC one category up - i.e. suspicious to neutral, or neutral to friendly, and depending on their attitude, that gives a modifier to the number of dice you roll.

In this case, what does my successful Etiquette Check do?

+1 dice and force the gm to reread the rules.

Gotcha (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

By the way - and please answer honestly, do you want us to point out stuff where there is a difference between what you say and the rules? For me, although I GM'd 3e a LOT, I've still only GM'd 5e for about 8-10 adventures, so I don't mind people pointing it out, because that helps me learn faster.

Others don't like it as much, and I don't want to make any waves - just let me know and I'm happy to just roll whatever you want (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Here is my 1 bonus die to my raw charisma check

1d6.hits(5)=1 - woot! so 2 hits total on my raw Charisma check.

Chrome, since you got 4 hits on your Etiquette Check, you would get one extra die too - which may mitigate your critical glitch - although the way you are rolling, it is going to be another 1."

Hawk

Charisma(5) + Etiquette(2) [1,5,4,1,2,5,5] = 3 hits
Charisma(5) [3,6,3,6,1] = 2 hits

Is the etiquette check simply a roll playing of how the basic table conversation goes and how the Bruce feels about the characters?
I assume there will be a negotiation check between our team negotiator and the Bruce?

Red jack - there was already a negotiation roll - 0 successes for us, 3 for the Bruce.

Hehe.. what a failure for the proud guy who wants to show off!

Extra die
1d6.hits(5)=0

A 3.. so still a beautiful critical glitch with 1,1,1,1,2,3.

Edit: can teamwork be used on the negotiation check to maybe save my ass? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Hey guys, just a quick update on my status. One, I've been having problems registering at Invisible Castle, I don't receive the registration emails - I'm guessing my ISP is swallowing them as spam or something. I'll have use a webmail account instead; but unfortunately now my common usernames are "taken" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Once I get that sorted out I'll have some rolls here for you.

Second, yes, my IC intro post is coming, working on it - I had forgotten how long it takes me to do creative writing, specifically choosing how to begin. It's a strain of "analysis paralysis". Once I get going it's usually not a problem (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

EDIT: Wow on the critical glitches. Io is already be having second thoughts about this team... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
