Aurelius Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 In case anyone was wondering, I haven't posted in the IC thread because it seems as though the scene is in transition (i.e. there's been a call to move the shuttle, and I get the impression that the PCs within the shuttle would not be too keen on opening it again until it is moved - a sentiment I fully understand) and that I should therefore wait to post. If my impression is wrong, then please let me know, as I'd be more than happy to have Aurelius arrive outside of the shuttle immediately if that's what's desired.

SalmonMax Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'm fine either way. You're presumably impervious to the bugs...so if you can save our fragile butts from them, that'd be cool. Otherwise we can relocate. It's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Okay, I have a feeling I did one of my soon-to-be-patented 'leave them all hanging' posts; let me see if I can add a bit more via a new post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lusungu Mercy Chanda Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Oh crap, sorry! I don't have anything meaningful to add. I'll make a point of PMing you next time to let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 For the benefit of us all, I'm going to assume you've all got small earbud type communicators, even if you don't have one on your sheet. If Sigil turns to petals...well, they're cheap and easily replaced. So you can communicate with each other and with Ditra/the ship AI, who can also access satelite data if you need it.

Heritage Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Oh, also when I went back and reread posts up until this point, I found out we were supposed to be on the night side of the planet when we landed...but now it's clearly broad daylight. Everyone okay with this? I figure it's easier to just go forward rather than go back and edit a bunch of posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SalmonMax Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 It's fine. And when Sigil turns to petals, or moves through trees, I assume she can bring her personal effects with her, or magically accommodate them somehow, or it would a very limited and rather embarrassing set of powers to use.

Heritage Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 What's the range of Aurelius' vision? I'm having a hard time figuring it out, for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelius Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 His eyes have Extended x3 for a x1,000 increase over regular vision. Normal eyesight suffers a -1 penalty on Perception rolls per 10 feet of distance, so Aurelius' would suffer the same penalty per [10 x 1,000 = 10,000] feet. He also has Infravision, Ultravision, and Penetrates Concealment on his vision (though recall that he can't see through especially dense materials, such as gold).

Aurelius Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Apparently I've misunderstood Heritage's PM to me, so I would hold off on responding in the IC thread for now, since my description of what A's seeing may not have been accurate. I've PMed him again asking for further clarification and will update things as soon as I have an answer. Sorry for the confusion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelius Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Man, I'm posting a lot in this thread all of a sudden. Anyway, this is just a quick reminder to all that I will be leaving the country starting this Friday (Sep 14th) and will not be back until Oct 1st. I'll have some occasional and limited access to the internet while I'm there (or so I'm told), so I'm going to try and get on here to post some while I'm away, but if you don't hear from me for a while don't be too surprised.

Aurelius Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Alright guys, Heritage cleared up my confusion on things and I've updated my IC post accordingly. Please feel free to post away without having to fear your PC will be reacting to my poor reading comprehension skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lusungu Mercy Chanda Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Alright. I've got a post up, but it's resolution will depend on how heavy Aurelius is when Sigil Lusungu tries to quite literally pick him up in a fireman's carry....

Aurelius Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Hey guys, I'm in Tulear in Southwestern Madagascar ATM and - for the moment - I have some access to internet, so I'm popping in to give an update so you guys can move forward. Aurelius weighs somewhere around 250lbs. if I remember right, so Lusungu could possibly pick him up. Alternately, she could simply suggest that he 'take point' and provide them with cover, if that's her ultimate objective. Also, for Sigil's question, you guys can assume that he agrees to her proposal, though probably with a bit of reluctance due to the use of words like 'essence'.

Lusungu Mercy Chanda Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Alright. I've finished off Lusungu's last post. Aurelius, if you want me to retcon my post for your actions, let me know. We're well within Lusungu's weight limits. Yes, I fully expect some sort of similar opportunistic pranking at some point in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lusungu Mercy Chanda Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Indeed! Well played, sir! I took a few liberties with the two of you in my last post, just to get us there... Wherever there is. Heri, Lusungu's looking to drop us behind some suitable non-obviously booby-trapped cover. Let me know where, and I'll finish the post, or you can continue it in the next post. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 I've been giving the other players a chance to respond to Max about whether of not they agree with his Illuso-Dupes plan; if there's no reponse by tomorrow, I'm going to respond with the base's reaction.

Heritage Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 I have concerns about the long term health of this game. I think the drawn out way Ive handled this first mission, combined with a lack of IC guidance from the Alliance, your employers, has led us to an impasse. I must admit. I dont have a lot of emthusiasm for this game right now, but that might just be the current storyline. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 there's other factors at work too...the sudden changes in cast, for example...and i feel i chose my character poorly for a super/scfi hybrid, in hindsight. the fish out of water angle works best if there are other fish IN the water. and there was a lack of planning and coordination that i must take some responsibility for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Okay gang, I'm making an executive decision and shutting this game down; I hate to say it, but my heart has not been in it for month, I never fully detailed this first mission (no floor plans for the base, bad guys were MOSTLY done) and I think the way the team was set up was really too loose for these kinds of missions. I apologize to one and all for not running a better game, but I think this is really for the best in the long term; perhaps I need to stop trying to run such epic games. Max, if you'd be interested in submitting a PL8 version of Sigil, I think she'd be a good fit for the Home of Heroes game set in the Lake City Universe, especially since they have some limited dealings with magic, magic wands and police work make for amusing bedfellows, and their next assignment after the current one is to bring in a powerful dark fae vigilante. However I don't think Sgt. Chanda or Aurelius would be good fits (sorry, guys!) For those of you who are fans of White Wolf's pulp game Adventure!, I am going to launch a game using that system set in 1938 based out of Great Britain, with lots of Nazi-punching action. Look for the resurrected thread in the Play-by-Post Discussion section. Once again, I apologize; haven't had to write one of these dreadful farewell posts in a long time, and I still hate doing them. Keep reaching for the stars! Heritage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
