Full Version: The Ancients
That's all that anyone can ask.
No, we can ask him to juggle as well. Or perhaps come up with dirty lymrics, or an interesting rhyme/song with bad lyrics, record it on MP3, then link a podcast to it. Perhaps our good sir Chris could even work on The Ancients theme song! See, there's lots more we could ask for!
To be technical, he didn't actually specify any limits. Apparently he will 'try so very hard' at any task we set. Therefore, I am right ... yet again! 
Offfff course you are.
( If I just agree with you, will you badger him into working on the theme song?)

We don't need no mother-fraggin' theme song. Now, a group portrait, on the other hand ...
Hmmm.. that ain't a bad idea. I'll have to think on that. I probably have good enough physical descriptions of each character to work on that .
*muses...*
*muses...*
You saying that prompted me to re-read my description of Haven and I realized that apparently it is divergent from the image in my head. IE. A poor description. The main difference is that I've given him a more broad shouldered and thick chested. Not really elf-like in build at all other than the tall.

Ah, bugger. I just realized I spent all my karma the normal way, following all the dumb rules straight out of my SR4 pdf. Dammit.
Well, on the bright side, I've got more stuff to play with, I guess. On the down side, I've gotta start over with the actual rules we'er using. *bonks his head*

Glad I mentioned it then.
All your awarded karma or the 100 karma we started with too? Because if it is the latter, Tain suddenly got a lot more badass.
Chris
Chris
No, no, just the karma we just earned. I spent my starting stuff just fine. It'd just been long enough ago that I then forgot about the house rules we were using, and went right to my core book for how to spend karma, etc.

Yeah, that's why I wanted to use normal advancement rules, instead of Franks. I got ou voted though.
So, who are we waiting on?

No one, I posted.
Currently the group has just met Slide, who asked to speak with Aero privately. As a whole, the group has no 'set' destination, although speaking with Sting seems like the next likely course. Haven, sadly, isn't gettng a lot of recognition, not being singled out in the Tain/Vixen 'spat'. Might be good for him really.
Haven's Knowledge Roll
11d6.hits(5) → [2,4,5,2,4,4,4,3,5,3,4] = (2)
SSG 5 + Ancients Spec 2 + 4 Int = 11
So, I kinda know about him. I'm assuming since I don't see anything about The Ebonverts in my spoiler that I don't need to roll for that?

My character's all updated except for re-reading the thread and finding all my CSP rewards. I just spent the three I just now earned, for now, and will have to go digging through here to find all the rest.
EDIT to add: and here's my die rolls. Guess I'm pretty clueless about the whole thing, fancy-schmancy new knowledge skill points or not.

I am really surprised Tain's Ancients knowledge is so low, Crit. I mean, I know Haven is a bit over invested in the gang, but since you seem at least partially combat I would imagine most of those dice come from intuition. Anyway, just surprised that he doesn't know the ranks that well what with his plan to take the gang over and all.
Chris
EDIT: You did roll Int + relevant ancients knowledge right?

Anyone got a link to Bart's system, like a muppet I've lost the one I made and have a hankering to spend some karma *8->
His INT is just a shade above average, and I'd basically forgotten Ancients Knowledge when I first made him (the 2 I've got in it right now, I just purchased).
Ah, that makes sense.

D'oh no wonder the search engine found nothing *8-> Thanks Chris!

Slide is a she, and correct, if you don't knwo about the Ebonverts, then you don't know about the Ebonverts.

Fist of the North Star: PM sent, with updated Tain (and a slight reformatting, hopefully resulting in an easier to read PM). I highlighted in bold the few things that were dropped in order to add Martial Arts, the Martial Arts themselves, the stuff I spent XP on, and the shuffling around we did with my Adept Powers (dropping one that was replaced by an MA ability, lowering STR Boost since it caps much lower than I thought it did, and replacing them with swanky new powers).
That's with my normal XP spent, and 3 CSP (I know I have more, but I didn't get around to digging through 29 pages of OOC thread to find 'em, sorry).

So Critias, I re-read the thread for your CSP total. Not counting the 3 you just spent, you have a total of 12 more. I did not go through any of the spoilers though, so there may be more hidden that I don't know about.
Wow, you've got some time on your hands, huh?
Thanks, man.
Thanks, man.
Hey ... gotta have a brother's back.
For the record, I know she levelled the same accusation (though with a near immediate "take back," in Claymore's case) at the other guys, too. But Tain took the whole thing kind of personal-like, since it all came out while he was front-and-center of the whole gang, had to fight the Challenge, yadda yadda.
I know that, and you know that, but Claymore doesn't like being left out, and it has been happening kind of a lot tonight.
Hey, it's not my fault he's busy sulking around, looking all cool and angsty rock-star, instead of getting into street-bike-duels! He's like the "bad boy" Donnie Wahlberg of our boy band, always glaring and gritting his teeth!
I think he just needs to kill someone.
Haven : Not it!
Hey it's me. You know, your friendly neighborhood GM man! Nice to be here,try the shrimp platter!
I've got updated Tain and Claymore (Fortune, thanks for the Green, makes it very easy to spot). Updates are noted, Crit, some good changes. Noted the adept powers. Good calls I think, especaill with how things are going so far. I appreciate and like that both of you have updated skills that are relevant and have been used so far in game. (Crit, your group upgrade might not have been used yet, but I suspect that'll hcange soon, hmm? )
Been a bit busy, but I am making the time to make sure my Ancients attention doesn't fall behind. FYI, my work schedule is getting a bit wonky. I'm being moved to a swing shift (1-9pm PST) Fri-Mon. Of course, that doesn't take affect until next week, and until then, they're putting my fucking schedule all over the place. Part of the reason my posts have been a bit inconsistent the last few days. Sorry.
Anyway, I'm gonna go post IC and keep things rolling DT, Callidus, let me know if you're doing any upgrading with the karma you've recieved, m'kay?
Also, I've been brainstorming a group pic for drawing out. Some questions may follow. For starters, which characters smoke? I know a few of you have some interesting ideas about alcohol.

Claymore smokes! 
As for your post rate ... well, you do have a lot of shit going on, so we'll just have to suck it up and deal with it.

Haven smokes sometimes, but it is mostly a social thing. He can quit whenever he wants to. Seriously though, if the majority of the group is smoking then Haven would be, if not or if it's a tie then no. He doesn't really care one way or another. He does his damnest to stay away from alcohol. Anything that makes him lose his grip on reality is a bad thing.

You know Tain's liquor issues. And nah, he probably doesn't smoke, either. He's the upright sort that was all about setting an example to the peasants back home, and hasn't gotten around to indulging since hitting Seattle, either.
