Okay, ICed some covering fire for Jan. Be sure and return the favor!

Aria - I'm not super worried about hitting these guys - I have a feeling their numbers may exceed my ammo count! - just want to draw fire and/or keep their heads down and attention off Jan.

But I'll try to get some rolls up in a couple of hours.

@TLG -

Okay, my initiative came to 18, and I'll be on Full Defense for the whole turn, so I'll have one action pass.

I'll fire a semi-auto burst using free action to make multiple attacks on three targets, and Pushing the Limit with Edge.

So adjusting for recoil I'll have six dice for each target.
Firing at three different Triad guys with SA burst: 3#6d6h5 4 1 2
That's 13P DV with -1 AP.

And then I'll roll defense incl. full D bonus and +4 for cover (behind bar, and at a spot where there are, say, the syrup boxes for soft drinks). Feel free to take off for any penalties.
Full D + cover defense rolls for drawing Triad fire off Jan: 6#23d6t5 9 4 9 7 6 11
If anything actually hits me with those rolls, I'll roll Edge to re-roll fails.

Everything here, in all likelihood. Rolls and a post to follow.

Ok, I'll give you a bit longer before shunting things along...

@TLG

Thanks for bearing with me. I'll assume the hackers are visible, so LeFey will start with the nearest one (in contrast, she'll be Running Silent). The following roll is for 3 separate Hack on the Fly attempts. She's going for one mark each time.

Hacking (5) + Logic (5) +2 from Hot-Sim -2 from Running Silent = 10d6

I'll try and get a response up soon

Okay you said three shoot back - I'll assume you let me know if anything hits based on the rolls above.

That still leaves three more rolls already made for anyone that shoots at me once Jan lays down the suppressing fire and I run for it...

I replied to the IC thread just before the forums went down, but it's gone now. I'll have to try and remember it :-/

I think I need to apologise for the lack of action on TLG...I think I've lost the vibe of the game. I don't want to just abandon it after you've all put in so much effort but I'm just not feeling it at the moment. So, how about this... I will turn this scene over to you (with a bit of OoC input from me)... you don't need to roll, we'll make it a pure fiction exercise like the General IC is (bought hits should give you some idea of how successful you are likely to be doing something if you really want to refer to rules...?)

So, what do you think? We could wind up the game after this confrontation and recruit some new players for the next step so all the hints I've dropped won't go to waste...?

@TLG - well, I'm game, as long as Mr. J and RD are - I think we're the only ones left.

If we do this, first thing to know is - are we on the right track assuming that the Triads are a distraction, and there is a more focused attack coming at LeFey/the drives?

You think the Triads would be dumb enough to attack a Mafia casino without a bloody good reason? I'd say you are half right about the distraction bit though...

Okay - can run with that, as far as it goes!

Just let us know how far you want us to take the make-it-up-as-we-go - like, do you want us to also come up with who/what attacks LeFey?

The 'Triads' will be the attackers, at least for now...

It's a shame that you're not really feeling it. I felt a bit like that at times, but a change of scene has revitalized me. It'll be a shame to lose the GM from the action.

On the flip side, I am really enjoying the dice-less roleplaying. I like just saying what happens and having it happen

It's pretty safe to say at this point that, as we're deciding the flow of the action, none of us are going to die. With that in mind if you wanted to start planning and recruiting for the team's next game then that would work. We could even overlap them in real-time as long as the dates were congruent, though I imagine we'll just finish this scene and then end it.

Did you have anything that needs to happen in this mission? Do we keep the drives? Do they get destroyed? If you could give us a general guide then I'll enjoy filling in the holes

Still here, sorta...maybe it was the thought of running combats simultaneously here and in another game that was giving me grief...omit the D, might make all the difference!

We're too awesome to need dice anyway. We wield godlike powers. We speak things into being, and so they are!

Al/Adamu has been rubbing off on you i see

I think I'll hold fire with any recruitment until the new year otherwise the holiday is likely to loose us 2-3 new players (the pbp curse)...

There's nothing specific that needs to happen...I always have a general idea of where things are going but the pace of pbp lets me adapt as we go so I'm not worried. Just don't go too easy on yourselves

Okay COOL -

soooo, Mr. J and RD, shall we just tag team a bitchin' narrative of a running firefight?

Al and Jan could be all about getting to and then protecting LeFey/the drives - it could be like that seen from the middle of The Killer when a zillion guys storm that house.

LeFey could use the building's systems to help us out, while simutaneously handing a bunch of Triad hackers their digital asses.

Just my thoughts on flavor - I posted last, so I'll wait until someone else pushes things forward!

Sounds good to me

I'm sorry to keep disappearing on you like this, but my work schedule is really not being cooperative. And I'm game for finishing things up using something closer to freeform roleplay. I'll get a post up soon.

@TLG - hey guys, I know I was the last to post, but we were a day from falling off the board, and I hate it when that happens.
So just a bump to keep the thread alive.

Heh. Fair enough. I've been questions busy, but also just not really known what to do

Yeah, having things too wide open can take some getting used to after the GM-player give-and-take we're all used to.

But, as we all discussed a few OOC posts ago, this is our chance to write our own stories for a bit. All the aspects of your character you wish the flow of the game would offer a chance to shine, that is so doable with this.

We just narrate a badass gun battle all the way to where LeFey is. RD can narrate how she does some cool matrix stuff, or else how she keeps her meat alive against Triad attacks until us gun guys get there.

We just tell the story bouncing off each other instead of off the GM.
(If you want inspiration, I recommend early John Woo!)

Of course our goal is not only to stay alive but also to catch someone (hopefully higher of the food chain than a Triad grunt) for eTher to interrogate or something.

I have a feeling once we run wild for a while Aria will step back in to one degree or another to direct things from that point...

Post on!

Just a quick bump to keep this page on the board.

Apologies for the Christmas delay. I'm back moving again now

Everything dies down around Christmas - glad we are rolling!

I'll give it a few days to see if RD wants to post at this point...

Just bumping this because it would be a pain to have it fall off the board.

Thanks Adamu, hopefully won't be an issue when TC gets going - I'm assuming you'll use this thread for OoC?

I could, since we're not really doing anything else with it, aside from TLG limping along.

Was thinking of making a separate OOC thread on the other board, just to keep things getting totally confused.

So is my IC here then?

Yes, sorry - thought I'd mentioned that in my PM on Saturday.

Few minutes, actually.

Ok, will start this off for TC: Mischief checks for Spriggan (I made 10 so don't have to keep on doing them) Cha+Will (3) to resist the desire to cause mischief:

First one easily passed 7 [10d6t5=3, 2, 4, 6, 6, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6]

Rolls can be found at http://orokos.com/roll/374042

Invisible Castle seems to have died, so Orokos is a good alternative to anyone looking for one although there might be a problem linking them?!

Or just roll dice and tell me what you got!
(In order rolled so I can add/subtract for mods)


Family sick, so everything delayed until tomorrow - sorry!

No prob bob.

Hope they get better soon!

Sorry - terrible timing - but I am totally sick.

Will be back on when I can.

No prob bob. Take all the time you need.

Look after yourself! We'll be here!

Wow. I didnt even know this thread existed. I need to add levels in perception.

So can I buy a Combat Knife and Quick Draw Concealble Holster?

yes - you don't need permission for small little purchases like that - just mark the money off and add to your sheet on OP

New version of my excel character generator available!

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3Yw4d165...UTAtSWRrM3lYVDQ

Still a WIP but hopefully useful to some!?

right, put a request for access through, lets see how helpful this thing can be ^^

You shouldn't need to request access, I'll check the permissions in a bit and let you know!

Jonjr is part of my email. Sent a request.

This link should work!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3Yw4d165I...iew?usp=sharing

That link seems to work.

========================

I'd built my character in Chummer, and have put up an almost full character sheet (tables and all) on Obsidian Portal. Adamu -- do you also want to see it put into this excel format or have the chummer files, or something, to be able to go through the build? (I know you won't be looking at phase 2 characters for a bit, but if I need to show the build in another format I should start picking away at it).

========================

Rusty is almost complete. There are a few karma that I'm still playing around with (a couple more skill points? One or two quarter-PP of tatoos? Slightly more complete gear?), and I haven't written up all of his contacts yet. (those that I have written up are posted on OP, and linked into the character sheet) I know they are one of the most important parts -- the rest are coming soon.

Also built my char in Chummer and got the sheet done, still writing the background.

General question:
Im still undecided whether I'd like to use KoreanGordo or Mr Jabowski as contacts. Who do I need to ask for permission to do so ?

Nobody, they are there to be shared! You could talk to the original author with any questions you have about them and perhaps to collaborate on fleshing them out?!?

Exactly, I dont know who the original authors are !
