Re: Secret Wars Campaign Log This is just sick...how did you do it?

Re: Secret Wars Campaign Log

Re: Secret Wars Campaign Log Jack, Cypher and Darius had the mob (the Morelli family) as a hunted disadvantage. I really don't want to add GM as another. Besides, Manic's write ups are far better than what I can do.

Re: Secret Wars Campaign Log Just to let everyone know, the campaign has gotten up and running again. We have had 2 sessions, highlights include: An intense gun battle that leaves Jack and Cypher severely wounded. A black zephyr racing through freetown looking for some cat named James Reyes. And a clear glass vial becomes Cypher's new target.

Re: Secret Wars Campaign Log Heads did roll...

Re: Secret Wars Campaign Log Ugh, the more you mention what we would have done, the more it irks me that he cancled...

Re: Secret Wars Campaign Log My gut is telling me that is what we would have done if Darius had not cancled on us... I don't have uncertancies. I know Cypher will be more assertive when the headsets get finished. I do believe that the number of bodies will be less as I'm fairly certain Cypher and Jack will be laying low for a few sessions, gathering information and skiping town for a bit, taking Darius with us by force if necessary.

Re: GM's Thoughts I've had lots on my plate last week, hopefully i'll get around to reading up on Hero stuff after I get my required reading done this week. As to my under utilization, i'm still not use to playing a character with that high of stealth so I've been playing cautiously, which I can do less of in the future. My cautious style may also be from me not knowing how do best utilize my character, for instance, in the mexican standoff i probably could have been avoided if i had played it differently (holding an action and then attacking each talli seperatly). Also i will admit that my ghostalk (invisiblity) i'm a bit confused - am I actually invisible or is it just a representation on how sneaky i'm currently being? I read the titles of your posts.

Re: Secret Wars Campaign Log Oh I am...I'm sure Manic could shoot you Cyphers sheet if you don't already have it. Looking foward to seeing your reflections when you get time to put them up. Perhaps when you can put them up with the Chan conversation?

Re: Norse Campaign Journal Ok, those were loose ends in my notes (axe and boots) and thats why I brought it up. I understand that the plot device is for fun (i wasn't implying that his side quest wouldn't be). I probably should have used italics or avoided my attempted sarcasm as it typically does not translate to type that well.

Re: Norse Campaign Journal The bold part worries me a bit...wasn't that the point of his dagger in Manic's first campaign? Also, what's happened to the Axe and the boots Jax acquired from the trolls and Dokkalfar caster several sessions ago (i double checked my notes and apparently he still has them). Those could be easy things to fit plot wise if you don't have something more devious (and entertaining) for him in mind.

Re: Secret Wars Campaign Log I could post it if people would like or need a reminder. Then again, I'm adding to it currently so I could post it after i'm done editing the additions... I remember it began with an A...Abby or something. I'll have to do better with recording names. I figured that Darius didn't want me along because of a trust issue. Snub or not, I think it will work out - I did read through some of his plans....It will only be an issue for me if it constantly happens. As to being left out, I was ok with it, as I really didn't have any leads to follow after i got out of the car...now I have two bars I can check out constantly for people/things/information.

Re: New Paranormal game coming up! I believe it is less about "schtick preservation" and more about how his history (which we have to write before Manic makes our characters) doesn't merit the same base roll. What I mean is that he never stated that its his specialty or that the people he was working against were even remotly competent (haven't seen his history as he's a tightwad about that). Now I'm assuming the skill in question is Concealment (haven't gotten permission to see his sheet yet). It is most likely that our Dex's are rather close and therefor with the Dex bonus added in that our base rolls are the same. And if thats the case I could see Manic changing it to an 8- instead. I believe its good to have some character overlap (as I'm sure Cypher is not the only character with steath) but when its somebody's apparent specialty then well there should be a difference between his roll and your part time amature's.

Re: New Paranormal game coming up! Well looking at the 5th Ed. Book I see nothing that would prohibit it. I haven't looked at your sheet so I really don't know about your contact points part (nothing in the The Ed. Book mentions contact points). However I would expect that there may be situational modifiers if they are applicable (but thats Manic's call not mine).

Re: New Paranormal game coming up! Manic - just a friendly reminder that you still have Appraise on Cypher twice.

Re: New Paranormal game coming up!

Re: Norse Campaign Journal Yes that last fight was rather rough on my skull... I would agree Rag that the massed combat would get tiresome expecially for a GM as it is difficult to make the battles different and challenging at the same time? Since you've been asking us about what we want for our final session (were not ending on that note right?) perhaps a non-combat session which raps up the current mission in Hammerfall, and perhaps explains why Felnor suddenly has to depart, and leaves us in a place to easily explain Manic's enterence into the campaing might be a good waypoint for next fall?

Re: Norse Campaign Journal Yes I look forward to actually learning that minions name...a field promotion is definatly instore for him I believe (unless I'm mistaken..which is often). Alfar Vamps...something over break for me to ponder over, expecially since I'll have time on my hands.

Re: Norse Campaign Journal Well I enjoy it as a history major....especailly since I know little of that region its always good to expand my knowledge Rag should have the notes posted somepoint soon we just finished a long session today.

Re: Norse Campaign Journal Well from what we know Manic is that this wasn't really an army but infact a bunch of rag tag leftover, worn down, soldiers, with bad equipment and armor who were expecting a pushover (main army somewhere else perhaps?). I highly doubt that it would have been that easy if we had been fighting a proper seige army. It also seems like the were relying on the trolls to do most of the heavy fighting when their numbers wouldn't suffice. I believe the seige only lasted 1 mission because well, that session was about 7 hours long... Without explaining much (that ill leave to Rag) we currently are dealing with leftovers and trying to figure out more of whats going on, who were faceing, and why are trolls helping humans. we just finished an 8 hour (approx) session the 31st. So i'm looking forward to Rag's perspective on how we did - its very interesting reading the GM's view - and what occured (I'll give you a hit, it was very intense RP *including me dealing 28 body and 140 stun to 1 dude with 1 swing*, involves elves, trees and us going down a river).

Re: Norse Hero PC builds- feedback welcome Wow, thanks i'll probably have more obvious questions later...after all its the easiest way to learn this new system.
