'To Plunder the Stars Themselves' OOC Thread

[Lysimachus]

Hey all, quick question.

 

Based on Bro Tyler's post in the News forum, the B+C will be shutting down for a bit (anywhere from a week up to a month, as I understand it) from the 30th May while the board upgrade is completed.

 

 

So, would you rather 1) start the next Structured fight (and probably then have to break off and come back to it later, as I don't know if we'll finish it in the next 5 days)

 

...or 2) would you rather pause where we are (and be in suspense about what you're up against for a couple of weeks! :lol:) but we should then be able to just play through once we're back?

 

 

Personally, I'm cool with doing things either way! :tu:

 

If you haven't already done so, still add your Initiative Rolls anyway, as I can get everything ready to go.

 

But maybe we can also have a show of hands here as to which option you'd prefer?

[Mazer Rackham]

Shut down for a month! OMG! 

 

How will all those people in the NRBA threads survive? 

 

I'm cool with either way, GM.  I'm about to be hella busy anyway.

[Necronaut]

I would vote to postpone this most delicious combat encounter and leave us in crippling suspense.

FTFY.

[Necronaut]

There I go mixing up adjectives again!

[Mazer Rackham]

At least you know what the hell one is, I've just been pilloried for not truly understanding vocative commas...

 

[Necronaut]

You could always take the Cormac McCarthy route and just declare scorched earth policy when it comes to punctuation. ;)

[Mazer Rackham]

punctuation is a yoke to us all inhibiting our creativity1!11!

 

4 Kaos!1!

 

Yes, this post is satire.

 

On a topic relevant note, I am beginning to suspect something about our..."buggy" encounter...

I, for one, am excited for the prospect of a PBP rendition of Space Hulk, sans tactical dreadnought armor!

[Mazer Rackham]

Give me 4,000 xp, and I'll bump to Deathwing Vet and we're on!

 

As an aside, would people be up for that kind of thing? (Space Hulk PBP) sounds kind of exciting, but also hideous.

Play on for the Dice Gods!

:sigh: out of likes for today!

Oh hell I've changed my mind. Let's roll them bones until the site goes down for maintenance! SUFFER NOT THE XENOS TO LIVE! Edited May 25, 2022 by Necronaut

:lol: :lol:

 

Awesome, well that's 2 so far for playing on and 1 don't mind, so unless everyone else is against it, we'll keep going while we can! :D

 

We just need to give BC a chance to roll Decimus' Initiative, then I'll have everything I need to move us into Structured Time!

Well...that was unexpected.

 

But...

 

[Necronaut]

The plot thickens! Also, not being a Horus Heresy player myself, these were a new and frightening/amazing discovery for me. Bravo!

[Machine God]

From the initial description I thought they were Ambots, but Vorax are better.

Kill-Crazy robots.

Very Hardware or Moontrap!

[Machine God]

Well...that was unexpected.

 

But...

 

Ramming the Vorax with your Landspeeder are you Worfiel?

:lol: :lol:

 Worfiel!

 

Not with another player on board, no.

 

But yes.

 

A  Klingon  Spess Mahreen can die but once!

[Lysimachus]

Worfiel

:lol: Very good!

 

As to grenades, I suppose they should be affected by zero-g, I can't remember the effects of the top of my head but will check later.

 

...and just realised I need to start the Round off myself with Vorax 1... please stand by! :D

[Mazer Rackham]

Grenades only Scatter if you miss.  Once that happens in Zero G, GM rolls for X and Y on the scatter diagram.  Core p.248.

[Trokair]

Vorax?

 

Catching up with the story tread is going to be fun, once I have the time.

 

Also if we are in null gravity Brynjarr's sole mode ability may be of use, if i remmeber correctly.

Those metal bastards are going to pay for shooting up my ride! 

 

Blimmin' 40th Millennium - can't have anything these days!

[Lysimachus]

There are probably a few more Speeders in storage around the ship... if you survive! :P

 

Seriously though, that hit harder than I had realised it would!

 

I'm glad I decided to downgrade their guns a bit, as technically Vorax have two Rotor cannons on their arms (with the blades underneath) and a Lightning Cannon on the carapace mount!

 

 

Still, you might all want to do something unpleasant to the second one before it gets a chance to fire too...

[Mazer Rackham]

Worfiel's going to pick up bits of the land speeder and tie them to his body and run around flapping his arm, and making engine noises.

 

You can't destroy his dream!
