[DW] Blackthorn and Swordhand: OOC Thread

[Xin Ceithan]

I am happy to report that I will hopefully working less come November.... which is both a welcome relief and a glint of hope to be partaking more in all the great stuff you guys do here !

[Commissar Molotov]

Thanks all, as ever I am appreciative of your faith and your efforts in continuing this!

 

I have messaged Mazer and asked him to keep things going over the next two weeks so we can try to keep up some inertia.

 

Hope all are well!

[Steel Company]

Sounds like a solid plan CM, I hope you and Lady Molotov have a great honeymoon!

[Mazer Rackham]

 

Lady Molotov

 

That's an awesome name.  I can see her armed with a flamethrower.

 

And a jetpack.

 

And, wait...am I in charge now? 

Better start watching out for falling rocks! (j/k)

 

Acting GM voice: Will be this.

 

MR.

[Xin Ceithan]

Wait.... you can leave us here at the mercy of .... ;p

 

Just kidding! Have a wonderful honeymoon!

 

 

[ and I agree ..., "The Lady Molotov" is a fine name for a ship...]

 

Godspeed!

[Mazer Rackham]

Hey Mazer, could we pick a different colour for your GMing, please? I can't read it against the white background; sorry :s

[Steel Company]

I got to agree with Apologist, it's a pain to read the yellow on mobile... I've got to highlight the text to read it....

 

 

Apologist, I've been working on something for Tyber's next post that includes Yeng doing Medicaid on him and holding him down by the chest while using the injection port on the leg, would it be possible for you to include those little details when Yeng gets around to tending to Tyber?

[Mazer Rackham]

Sure, I'll chop it to orange like Mol's if that works for everyone.

MR.

Besides youre a Mod now and Mod Orange is a thing! :P

[Mazer Rackham]

I know, but I'm shy of using orange...it's 'official'.

 

:p

MR.

 

 

Just don't go all Huron and power-trip on it and you'll be good.

[Mazer Rackham]

I find your lack of faith disturbing! 

 

Besides, Uncle Huron was only trying to secure the wild west frontier.  I'm sure he had excellent intentions. 

 

I've updated the posts, just give me another shout if there's a problem. 

 

MR.

[Dosjetka]

Can I jump over the parapet and into the courtyard below to speed up my movement towards the group?

[Mazer Rackham]

Can I jump over the parapet and into the courtyard below to speed up my movement towards the group?

 

You absolutely can.  The vertical drop is sufficient that a controlled fall will be harmless to you.  They are within sound distance so, 30m away from the parapet.  A run will carry you to just behind the group.

 

 

@ Morovir, I'm not sure if your OOC meant for me to roll on your behalf or tell you what rolls were needed?

Sorry I've been a bit inactive in here recently - 2 weeks to go now!!! So if Vorr enters squad mode can he full auto with his assault shotgun? Or even better switch to missile launcher and up the ante? 

[apologist]

Thanks Mazer. Apologies – could you run me through the crunch of the rolls you've requested of Yeng? I'm not very familiar with the system at all :/

[Mazer Rackham]

I got you covered Apologist, in this case it's an awareness test based on hearing (you clever lad ) 

So we need to check your Stat for that, which in this case will be Perception.  Have a look at your sheet - that will be your base stat.

 

Now, we have to consider if there's anything which will modify your Stat.  In this case we have two immediate bonuses to apply +10 from your Marine implants and +10 from your armour's systems.  You normally always get these whilst your armour is on and you're trying to see and hear stuff.

 

Further, because you roleplayed and used that noggin, you've been allowed a Stat Bonus, which is the first number of your base Stat.  All these bonuses are cumulative, so it would look like this.

 

Stat: Perception

Value: 45 (example)

Bonuses: +10, Senses, +10 Armour = 65

Your Stat Bonus would be '4'

Total = 69.

 

We now need to roll a D100 against this and see how well - or badly? - you do. 

 

Let's see how good those Gatebreaker ears are!

 

Reyner: is that two weeks until Baby Reyner?  Is all going well with that?

 

And yes, mate, full auto shotty or half action, ready launcher, half action fire launcher.  You'll need an awareness test mind - Yeng goes *after* you   If you join squad mode, you can then use your reaction to make a single shot with the boomstick or if you have the nuketube up on your shoulder, you can pop a shot with that.

MR, head over to the WiP section... Apologist, is doing an Astral Claw Killteam...

[Mazer Rackham]

How the hell did I miss THAT.

Ah, brilliant! Thanks for the thorough rundown.

 

Let's see how good those Gatebreaker ears are!

 

For [REDACTED] reasons, I need to add a -5 modifier on that, too.

 

So, running through:

Perception stat is 43

Bonuses: +10 Senses, +10 Armour, -5 [REDACTED]: 58

Stat bonus is 4

Total: 62

 

Two D10s: first die 10 and second die 3 – is that 30 or 13?

[Morovir]

@ MR I don't mind either way, I just wasn't sure which rolls were required.

[Reyner]

@Mazer Rackham: All as well as it can be thank you she's in breach position so got a C-Section booked which at least is a bit less stressful for everyone involved but still pretty big. Vorr has his shotgun up so the plan is to join squad mode and fire with the shotgun. 

 

edit: I'll make a post tomorrow before we all go full Predator and nuke everything around us! Hehe that makes Tyber Blaine in this situation!

Edited August 8, 2019 by Reyner

[Mazer Rackham]

You are most welcome

 

That, good fellow is a 13.

 

We now compare this to you total score including ALL bonuses, so:

 

Total: 62

D100 Roll = 13

This results in a Pass, which means the test has succeeded and 4 Degrees of Success.

A Degree of Success is measured in every full 10 points below your target number, so:

 

13 (Pass), 23, 33, 43, 53.  This is equates to five (!) Degrees of Success or DoS (not the Moderator...)

 

The Lictor is attempting to evade your detection and also had to roll against DoS and now it's down to the winner, the one who has the better DoS wins.

 

Shall we find out?

 

Morovir: In that case good sir, can you please roll a Strength, Tech Use +20 and a Perception roll for me?

 

Reyner: :O Oh my word - you and Mrs Reyner have my best wishes!

Reyner, both my kids came via C-Section, the hard part for Mrs. SC was dealing with not being able to lift anything heavier than our kids for a couple of weeks afterwards. For me it was the lack of sleep was I was doing everything for my wife during those first two weeks.

 

Still you'll be amazed by everything your little girl will do, and how well you'll operate with little to no sleep.
