Gemini Ascendant Campaign

[ghost-angel]

Frontier Space level tech; I'm making some of it up, and just tossing out numbers without specific builds to get us through tonight. I thought it'd be fun to have multiple settings on things... so each weapon is a Multipower Pool

Laser Pistol (1 clip holds 15 charges)
-Standard Mode 2D6 RKA (takes 1 charge)
-High Intensity Mode 2D6 RKA Armor Piercing (takes 2 charges)

Laser Rifle (1 clip holds 30 charges)
-Standard Mode 3D6 RKA (takes 1 charge)
-High Intensity Mode 3d6 RKA Armor Piercing (takes 3 charges)
-Autofire Mode 3D6 RKA Autofire 3 (takes 1 charge per round fired)

Glowy Death Stick (Kahli Blade)
1 1/2D6 HKA; AVAD: Hardened Defenses (Does Body); Force Fields stop completely; Str Min 5(?)

GMs call on whether the Hardened Defenses of "Combat Luck" are lucky enough to help against a GDS.

Now, Damage Adding, pretty easy...

GDS requires a full 3 added Damage Classes to add one Actual Damage Class (i.e. it will take 15 STR, 3 CSLs, or some combination of STR, Maneuvers and Combat Skill Levels adding up to 3 to get the base 1 1/2D6 to 2D6. If the GM is feeling nice and decides to "round" then 5 CSLs (from STR, CSLs, and Manuevers) will get it all the way to 2D6+1 HKA (standard requirement is 6). If you can muster up 9 DCs in added Damage to get add a full 1D6 to the base (a move through with all you've got, downhill, in a hurricane might do it...)

Adding Damage to the Laster Pistol and Rifle - technically Combat Skill Levels can add damage, I don't believe anyone has enough to muster it up though, so I'll figure out the math later and post it for reference.

see how easy that is?

Finally I am at home. Overheated car. Weird how over a gallon of coolant just evaporated. Need to find the leak and crush it. Not tonight. Tonight, server is up though I wonder if more than a "hello" is going to happen.

[Nolgroth]

Everything okay g-a? I noticed you dropped out. Getting some shut eye?

[ghost-angel]

ooh.. I fell out and the program didn't tell me...

[Nolgroth]

Just as a reference. Combat Luck is sort of a Wildcard power. It works as defense against just about any attack. Consider it Hardened, Impenetrable, etc. The catch (and I have to go back over the write-ups) you can only take it at 3 rPD/3 rED (one level). Don't know if it is costed the same in 6E, but that's how it works. This way, you have some defense that can almost always be used, no matter what you are actually wearing.

Combat Luck does stack with other defenses, so long as the campaign maximum is not exceeded.

Now off to check the write-ups.

Edit: Only two characters even have Combat Luck (Wade and Killian) and both of those characters are at the campaign limit. So yay for us.

Hi guys Looks like I missed another session. But there is good news the move is over and my internet service was hooked up this morning. I see that I have alot of reading to do. You have been busy.

Yeah. Too bad you missed the session where Alvarez mind controlled Ta'Rang and had him dress in a tutu and perform a ballet in front of a live Yazarian/Zharogian audience. The moment was televised and later broadcast across the galaxy on all the major networks. Oh and Sam got killed again in the process. Wade blew up yet another ship. Doc saved half the crew. And that little twerp Micah was being obnoxiously cheery again. If my roll had been a little better, BOOM, scrap metal. As it was, there was enough left for Killian to patch back together.

And I am so totally making this up.

Okay 'wolf, a while back you posted a pic of a 3d spaceship model. I can't find that anywhere in what seems like a reasonable time frame. Do you still have that handy. I remember you joking about it being the new Gemini-3 ship.

And while I was looking, I was once again awed at the amount of labor that has gone into this game. Thanks for all the support that y'all have shown over the years. I really can't wait to play but I have to admit to a little trepidation.

[Nolgroth]

I'll refrain from posting "Wow that's great!" comments in the Equipment thread. So, for the work so far, "Wow, that's great!"

I do need to ask one question? Are vehicles built similarly to 5th Edition? Do the 6E rules even have vehicle construction rules in them? Okay, two questions. Anyway, I need to get some vehicles prefabricated for the upcoming games.

[ghost-angel]

Yes. Yes.
Biggest change is instead of DEF Vehicles now have rPD/rED.

Oh uh hey... for next week... just in case (hypothetically and all), if the stations ventilation ducts are big enough for a person.. might want to map 'em out. Just sayin'.

Cuz... Sam vs Two Giant Robots With Guns is pretty much a Win on the machine side.

How come I suddenly have this vision of Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver crawling through the ducts. I was about to begin mapping the rooms each group is in, so I suppose I can try to figure out the ducting while I am at it.

Because Alvarez has never stacked the deck in his favor before....

[ghost-angel]

I suppose she's just thankful it's not another orbital bombardment . . .

[Nolgroth]

I suppose "orbital bombardment" is entirely relative to who's on the receiving end.

This was the one...
