'To Plunder the Stars Themselves' OOC Thread

Draak's 'Amazon Alexa's' recording habits would give Orphiel low key anxiety if he knew about them...

@MR - You were saying?

[Necronaut]

Yes, continue to ignore Vesalius's helm-picter.:ph34r:

[Mazer Rackham]

@MG, no that's the point, if he knew about it, he would have fits because it's ok for him to do it....

 

@Necro, I appreciate you reminding me...

[Trokair]

You show great promise, young one.  We are polite enough however not to say "...committing High Treason."

 

We much prefer '...of being misinformed.'

 

So, do you feel well informed?  

[Mazer Rackham]

Never.

 

There's always more room for being informed.

 

EDIT: These rooms are usually marked "interrogation".

And I'll leave that little interlude between Episodes there, and get back to focusing on Titus and Swordhand! :D

[Necronaut]

Listen: the most loyal legion ever which was 100% loyal and in no way harbored any traitors ever has nothing to hide. Now, if you would please step into this room, the Interrogator-Chaplain would like to have a word...

@Lysimachus - Why would the Librarian Degier refer to another Librarian in this case Odysseus as a Witch?

Insecurities at Odysseus' superior intellect :p

[Lysimachus]

Not quite! :D

 

It comes out more in 'Recruitment' which is Degier's backstory. But basically his former Chapter really didn't approve of psykers, and he struggles not to view them the same way. If you notice earlier, he refers to himself as a Witch too!

[Machine God]

Yes, continue to ignore Vesalius's helm-picter.

Ahoy and avast mateys! :D

 

Ahem. Well, as promised, now we're into March I'm starting to get things ready for Ep.III, with the planned start date of Saturday 2nd April. I hope that date still works for everyone?

 

I'll be checking in with everyone* between now and then to confirm that their XP and Character Sheets are up-to-date. With 2300 earned in Ep.II, that puts each player at a total of 6300XP. So if you're there (or just under) on your spends, that's perfect!

 

*Obviously, Mol and Xin have already said they are definitely (or most likely) busy, so I won't bother you gents, but feel free to post here or shoot me a PM/email if things have changed for you!

 

 

 

@Sobek:

I know you're not really into the crunch side of things, so I've worked out a couple of picks, let me know if you're happy with them?

 

Radago's XP Spends:

Sig Wargear (Power Sword) = 500

(I figured Varn might let him have both his swords back, one as the Sig Wargear and then you could take the second as a Requisition item?)

Lightning Attack = 600

(Same as Swift Attack, but moves it from 2 to 3 Attacks per Standard Attack, very fitting for Radago's speed?)

Pilot (Personal) +10 = 500

Death from Above = 400

(These are jump pack related Skills, which I know Radago isn't as focused on background-wise, but very useful in-game?)

Concealment +20 = 300

(Gets him up to max bonuses for Conceal and Silent Move!)

Total = 2300

[Necronaut]

Looking forward to it, Lys!

[Machine God]

Looking forward to it, Lys!

Me too

[Black Cohort]

great, I will confirm I actually spent XP.  Decimus may have more flashbacks next episode.

[Lysimachus]

Hello again gents,

 

As promised in my previous post above, I've now had a look through the Character Sheets. Figured it was easier to just post where we are here. So, currently we are at:

 

Vesalius, Orphiel, Draak:

Full 6300XP spent, done, ready to go!

 

Brynjarr, Odysseus:

Both have 300XP left over. This may be deliberately saved for later, or possibly not included the extra earned from Vesalius' picter Chapter Trapping?

 

Svelk:

450XP currently left over. I think we might have discussed him taking Demo+10, which given his prior experience with the 'splodey stuff, I'm happy for him to have it early at a cost of 450XP?

 

Decimus:

Currently sheet shows 2300XP from end of last Episode not yet spent, but I think you did make some picks, so maybe we just need to add them to the sheet?

Edit: Found this a few posts back:

 

Signature wargear (power axe) 500 (General list)

Deadeye shot 500 (Devastator list)

Common Lore (Solios Nebula) 400 (Iron Gods)

awareness +10 300 (General list)

Strength +5 200 (Devastator list)

Perception +5 200 (Devastator list)

which would leave me with 200 xp

Radago:

Also 2300XP to spend, I've made a few suggestions in the post above. Not seen Sobek around recently though, so it's not impossible that Radago might actually be with the last group below?

 

Traveller, Ithan:

Both also have 2300XP to spend, but players are not available to join in for Ep.III, so there's no rush here! :D

 

 

 

 

So, for the most part Kill-Team Cutlass is in pretty good shape to start Ep.III! (Don't worry, I'll remedy that as soon as possible… :P)

[A.T.]

Brynjarr, Odysseus:

Both have 300XP left over. This may be deliberately saved for later, or possibly not included the extra earned from Vesalius' picter Chapter Trapping?

I believe Odysseus has the correct total, just not a great deal to spend 300xp on (psychic powers tend to cost 1-2k each)

[Trokair]

Don't worry, I'll remedy that as soon as possible…

You don’t have to you know.

 

As for Brynjarr, I am saving the XP for a later date.

Avast!

 

We're kinda pirates, right?  I mean, they should be sharing out that loot, yes?  If'n they be dead men an' all.  Its just sittin' in the grip of ol' Davy Jones' locker otherwise to be sure, aye. 

 

4,600xp split eight ways is 575xp each, and well worth a pinch in the brig!

 

Lot of doubloons for wine, weapons and song for freebootin' lusty scallywags..! 

 

Yes, this is a joke.

The implication being we can harvest unused XP from AFK party members by killing them? *makes notes*

 

WIFE! BRING THE STABBING KNIFE!

'Harvest' is such an uncouth word.

 

In the modern day and age, I think one would prefer 'redistribute'.

 

And I was only joking, good Lord man, I'm not sitting still in your house when there's tea and biscuits..!

[Necronaut]

I came here to engage in pointless and infuriating team-killing in a friendly PBP roleplaying game in the mindless pursuit of more experience points and chew bubble gum, and guess what I'm all out of?

[Trokair]

Oh no, not the bubblegum!

[Mazer Rackham]

Teammates to Stab?

@MR - Ithan only as The Traveller isn't around anymore.

 

So as well as being First Legume, Orphiel has an overactive Omaphagea?
