[OW] Die Hards OOC Thread

[Steel Company]

Due to stats and skill levels, if I can avoid a roll, I'll take it.

 

I've got sometime so I can start working on a narrative and I should have it up this morning.

[Mazer Rackham]

I'm sure my players will pass their rolls...faith in the Emperor and all that...

[Steel Company]

While that may be true, but with a 30-ish percent chance of making the check without knowing the mods, I'll avoid it when I can... especially over a leech.

[Beren]

I am honestly astonished at how high my med skill is every time it comes up.

I can find bigger things if you like? ;)

Yeah, I was thinking that too - it's almost Astartes level healing.  Really well put together.

 

I must admit it's kind of down to my lack of experience with the system as to wat you guys can take/deal with, and the fact it's a one-shot, so I'm not pushing too hard, although we're coming up to a bit of a step up in difficulty, so we'll see how it goes.

 

Feel free to drop your experiences, advice and whatever thoughts you have in here.

 

You never know, I might run a sequel...

[Steel Company]

I'm enjoying it so far MR, and please no, nothing bigger than the Leech... I'm worried enough about fighting Orkz with how lasguns perform in the system...

Is the website broken for anyone else? Like it's got no formatting for me in Firefox...

 

Huh... just posting here fixed it...

Mentioned in the Bug Reports thread.

 

@ Beren - Stimms would prefer Orks, you say....

Ha! Mobile login achievement unlocked!

 

But desktop is still being glitchy... I'll try another browser later.

[Steel Company]

Seems Chrome works fine for this right now...

[Steel Company]

So far living squad members that know about Scarlett's background:

 

The Midshipmen

 

 

Possibly Judge, not sure about that one.

[Mazer Rackham]

Yep, Judge will certainly know.

 

As Platoon Commander, he'd be told the basics, so he'd know how to make use of you within his unit.

 

The rest would have to guess. :)

[Steel Company]

So far the running guesses have been:

 

Pilot and Officer

[Mazer Rackham]

Does Halbast get a suggestion? ;p

 

I've been thinking about this and as player reward (kinda), and to make my life simpler, all Players receive the following talents:

 

The Good, The Bad, The Desperate:

We have to make use of whatever fate gives us.  It's the only way we'll get off this rock.

Platoon Commander Garrad McDread, 101st Penal Legion. (Judge)

• A character with this talent may, upon passing an Intelligence Test, learn any weapon group or sub-group, for any weapon that they do not currently possess, as long as they have witnessed an example of its use.

 

This Moon is a Harsh Mistress:

Orks is green, and so is dey trees, but you can smell the bad 'uns, the fungus men.  If yer quick.

Abhuman Specialist Vratthogg, 101st Penal Legion.  (Lughead).

• Any character with this talent counts as having +2 to Initiative rolls.

Might help a bit?

[Steel Company]

I'm expecting the Midshipmen to make a comment about it and blow the mystery about her background.

 

 

I also think those rewards look good.

 

Now, about the area, would Scarlett be able to get a full round aim to call shot on one of the Orkz for the suprise round, or would it be limited to a half aim?

[Mazer Rackham]

Be a half-aim only I'm afraid as you spent time getting into position.

 

There are three Kommandos, A (18m), B (21m) and C (23m) all engaged, wearing their crude armour and behind small logs, foliage etc giving +4 armour points to everything below the waist.

[Steel Company]

Okay, I suggest we focus on A first.

I'll get my actions in this morning when I've got time to write it up...

 

 

Edit:

 

 

Taking a quick look at the rules, I forgot how nice it is to be a space marine... Called shots are a full round action for mortals.

 

Looks like I either have to go with:

 

Standard attack + half aim + Size + Short range + BS = about TN 80

 

or

 

BS + Size + Short Range - Called Shot = about TN 40

 

I already know she's going to put her gun into overload setting for the +2 damage and +2 Pen, even if it eats 4 shots out of the 60 in the pack, and will jam on a 91+

 

Well, let's see what the dice gods will, when I have a chance to roll and write.

[Mazer Rackham]

There's only one way to know! :D

[Steel Company]

Well, I went with a semi-auto burst, but man does the damage suck out of these guns, even cranked up to the highest setting.... this is going to get bloody.

[Beren]

I'll try and get a post up for Stimms a bit later in the day.

[Mazer Rackham]

No worries, plenty of time :)

 

Once done, I'll drop a post in covering the rest of the squad, the outcome of Surprise etc.

[Beren]

Just checking, is it okay with both of you that this be the moment for Stimms and Wideyes to bug out, or would you prefer me to have them stick around?

[Steel Company]

Works for me, the confusion of combat would be the best time.

[Mazer Rackham]

Yep, any time you want to go is up to you, Player Agency is important. 

 

EDIT: The others won't notice you've gone as they're in combat, so there won't be any tests or anything, just RP your bug out.

Almost had her pull an Akkad there...
