    I'm fine with a lurker.

     

    I was thinking about the added BOD today and wondered if you couldn't use combat luck to represent the same thing/ I've used it in the past, though I admit it is quite arbitrary and some attack builds don't work well with it (blow gun sleep darts...).

     

    Just a thought.

    Blog entry recap of the first session posted.

     

    Very nice read. I like the behind the scenes stuff, too.

     

    I enjoyed myself immensely and really looking forward to the game next week. I was impressed on how well you could do all the maptools stuff. I think that really helped keep the game moving. All involved seem to want to have fun telling an interactive story and I couldn't ask for more.

    [*]Create Savienien's character. Savienien, do you think a couple of slightly improved firearms will fit your concept of the gunsmith for now? (1 hour with token)

     

    That would be fine. I saw him as running from Einan Nobility due to a problem with a gun he built (a la The Mexican) for some background. Would he be able to create well-rounded shot to help others with their range modifiers? Probably some sort of inventor ability. I thought of a gunpowder grenado that was encased in two hemispheres with flint between them. The 'ball' would be twisted to create spark and light the 'fuse', then toss drop the grenado and kaboom.

    That would be awesome.

    There is a lot of interesting stuff in those two posts and it really all depends on how 'realistic' vs 'gamable' you want it to be and where you draw that line. In games from the era I've played we almost always use the Activation Roll. Range penalties are pretty staple, too.

    Been doing some research into period firearms. I surely wish there was a HERO writeup somewhere of flintlock pistols' date=' muskets and rifles. I've come up with some stats that we can use, but I don't know how accurate they are to the actual weapons.[/quote']

     

    There are quite a few threads about this in OTHER GENRES. I'll see if I can't get a list.

    Hmmmn. The Eisen are known for their weapon making using a very strong metal known as Dracheneisen (dragon iron). Perhaps your character learned his trade among those smiths' date=' either by virtue of being Eisen or been lucky enough to have been apprenticed to an Eisen smith. Just what those superior abilities entail is something I have to think about. What were you looking to accomplish?[/quote']

     

    Better activation roll (maybe none at all?)

    Bullet with your name on it OCV bonus?

     

    I'm not sure exactly. Perhaps some inventions like black powder grenado?

     

    Perhaps an inventor? We're talking renaissance... DaVinci type inventions?

    Re: Anyone running any online games?

     

    So, I'm a bit confused on the setting. I am currently playing a Colonial Hero game pm Hero Central and love it. I also own a couple 7th Sea books (players and GM guide), but I've never played the game. The two don't exactly mix for me as the Colonial game is set in the New World and 7th Sea as I recall it in 'Europe'. I may be confusing that with a MUX I helped write for back in the day called Outremer though...

     

    I'm not sure why I'm telling you this, though. My point is that I don't necessarily grok the setting completely at the moment, nor the two characters yet.

     

    Any way we can get a post containing the PCs we have thus far?

    Pacific' date=' which would be 7-11pm Central. I would love to start earlier but Thursday is my chore day and I just know I would not be able to do much before 5pm Pacific.[/quote']

     

    No. 7-11 would be a lot better for me. I couldn't guarantee being home by 5. So, please count me in.
