Sorry to barge in on this thread, but myself and (more importantly) Ophis are having issues access DS at the mo, so just a friendly heads up that he may be slow at posting...

@Alex: Sounds good to me.

@Metatron: Thanks for the info.

One Fast Forward Post™ coming up.

@Anyone: Did we name the ship?

I was going to ask that...

Hey guys. Fisty wanted me to leave a post letting you guys know that he isnt going to be posting for about 3 or 4 days. It appears him and the Mrs are feeling a bit under the weather.

3-4 days is exaggerated I'm feeling much more up to snuff now Will get to posting later today

Psh...you said 3 or 4 on the phone.

So any one wanna brainstorm Ideas for a ship name. Befor the Imperial's decide we're pirates and blow us into space junk.

Centuary Duck?
Juiced Up Icecream Ferret (sorry old joke from a larp group)

Or a real idea...
Black Aurora

Hmmmmmm. Intriguing.


I like:

Lazy Bastard
Lady Alysha (sucking up never hurt anyone )

Or

(Sinn's Fake name)'s Pride.

Nah, 'Jeryk's Pride' would turn into Jerk's Pride too easily. I take it by now we're going with the smuggler/freighter angle, so let's go with something that reflects that. Like 'The Wayward' or something to that affect.

SinN - I say a lot of things that are BS, you know that. 'Specially when I'm half delirious.

Okay any thoughts before I speak?

The Wayward Bantha sounds interesting to me.

Side note to maybe help the decision making process.

Where is the ship registered? Use the culture of wherever planet it is to help us make up a name.

The Ship is registered on Tatooine, a little backwater on the Outer Rim ruled by the Hutts.




Seriously, it was registered on Corellia and according to the file, it was registered some fifteen years ago.

Why dont we call it Serenity?

Thats an option.

Ahhh ta heck with it. Posting IC.

Ship name = Serenity Now.

rofl

Works for me

Ill be Caption Mal, Jannel has to be Wash. Who wants to be his Warrior Woman?

Daylin can be. He probably wear women's knickers. You know what jedi are like

I'll be Jayne, I'll ad a bigger gun to my inventory.

Hey I was supposed to be Jayne! Or at least Simon with a lousier attitude.

*sigh*

I'll get a full IC post going once I get home. Still at work ya know.

I think Daylin is a bit closer to Shepard Book. Sorry

Alex, could you describe 'his kingship' a bit? Maybe a roll for Alien Races to identify, or Cultures to see if we can learn a bit more about him by his clothing? Anything to go on for how to approach this situation besides a kick in the gonads (or identify where those might be if he's an alien)?

Too late rand is starting a fight (maybe)

Sorry for talking color, I can't seem to find salmon

Are you sure Ophis? I find that [ color=salmon ] works for me then when yer done just use [ /color ].

Ah wasn't sure if that still worked. Will use in future.

Oh and rand has a plan by the way. Though it is a tad crazy.

Having a 'plan' and 'a good idea' can be different things.

Sorry it took so long today. Family went out on a shopping trip, which I hate doing. I truly despise shopping.

OK, here goes. The large alien is about 2 to 2.1 meters tall. (That's 6'6" to 6'10" for those of you not familiar with metric.) He is apparently hairless. His skin is a light gold color but he appears in all other ways to be a human male.

Rand is about to be hit with a large fist. Melee has a "very easy" difficulty of 3. The alien has a 6D in Brawling. He gets 4, 5, 3, 3, 4 and a 4 on his wild die. He hits our man with a plan. He rolls 5D for strength and gets 2, 4, 4, 5 and a 4 on his wild die. That's a total of 19.

If you decide to roll Brawling Parry - did anyone else notice that there are essentially three types of Dodge in this game? - please let me know.

-----

Did I mention that I hate shopping?

Dodge of 15 + 3 (original DC) = 18 < 19 (roll of giant alien). He still gets hit.

Roll strength + armor to soak damage.

Damn it.

Anyone know how to get Invisible castle to do wild?

Okay dice rolls

3d6

2d6 normal = 2 and 4 Not the best start.

Wild dice = 1!!! That gets rid of my highest other dice...

so 3. Ouch.

Unless my jacket gives me some armour...

What is your jacket. A nice leather jacket, a flac jacket, a cardigan?

-----

Now I am getting the picture of Rand in a cardigan and ascot a la Fred from Scooby Doo.

Looks like the impetuos Rand just got knocked the ******* out.

There is Brawling Parry (for unarmed melee), melee parry (armed melee), and Dodge (dodging projectiles such as blasters, etc). This is where specializations come in handy, such as Martial arts, and (S)Blaster Dodge.

Oh well.

Heavy duty Biker leathers, designed to keep a body together during a crash, not uninjured just together. No more than 1 dice armour (at most). Want tell me what it's worth and I adjust rolls above... Anything else I can do beynd Force points to save my life/pride.

Sorry for slow responces I'm still having access issues.

Your biker leathers would give you +1D. Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I am in all day meetings all this week, next week and the week after.

Just for reference, is that just against impact or against Blasters to?


The roll 1d6 - 1

That brings me to a mighty 4. Well if I remember second ed's damage rules that may have saved me. But I'm still going down like a sack of potatoes.

Unless you want we to reroll everything... Which I doubt.

I think biker leathers is +1d6 physical. You'd be lucky to get +1 pip for energy out of leathers.

+1D for impact

+1 for blasters

You just got knocked out.

Thought so. Damn i hate invisible castle.

I'm going to be away for a week on my hols (Rome then LARPing). Can Rand stay KO'd till I'm back. Oh and the plan is working...

Sounds fine to me. Just hope that your friends can pull you out of trouble if there is any.

I edited my post, just a quick add at the end.

By the way, sorry for the slow posts, my internet posts should pick up here.

If this is your plan, to get knocked out, I think someone else should make the next one.

Agreed

So Alex, what're we waiting on right now?

Good point. IC post coming up.

Any indication on where the people are being treated, or when the accident at the ship yards took place? Or specific doctors named ?

Accident was about two weeks ago. One wing of the hospital has a maximum security area where they are being treated. There was no mention of a specific doctor.

danke

I am all returned and stuff. good time was had in both Rome and at the LARP.

Rands plan involved using the fight as a way to open doors to local contacts. Does a local police man count?

Though being knocked out wasn't part of the plan. When should I come round?

I'll let you know.
