3E Time of Crisis OOC

[Omega Girl]

I don't know. Would anyone want to be in a game where a player dies every fight?

[Arthur Eld]

A: Probably. Some people will play anything.

B: If you play smart enough, you can certainly come close to death but come through a mission with an intact squad. Sometimes not even injured.

Plus, while the lethality of X-COM is certainly a part of it, you could tweak that to up the players' survival rates and still keep the feel of the game. Or you could just build a new PC. I would actually like that possibility, as a player.

I'm confused. Are we in a new round of combat? My first action didn't seem to get resolved.

You acted before your initiative.

[Arthur Eld]

Ayup. You guys didn't get a surprise round (mostly because they were kind of expecting super heroes-this is Freedom City, after all), and Fletch is high up, but not number one on the initiative order.

I'll be resolving Firekin's action soon and moving things along later today.

[Ysariel]

I'm totally okay with you going slower than you planned, just as long as you don't abandon us!

[Ysariel]

Today for the first time, I realized Arthur's avatar is not a St. Bernard as I originally thought...

[Arthur Eld]

Nope, its Airman, that bastard.

For reference, here's the Thieve's Guild.



From left to right, that's Las Boleadoras/The Bola, Looking Glass, the Huckster, the Firebug, the Mad Maple (nobody but him calls him the Maple Leaf), and Weather Mistress.

Fletch actually posted an action already on page 1.

[levinwurth]

Yep! I posted so things wouldn't be held up when it came to my turn.

[Arthur Eld]

Right, right. I'll resolve that now.

In the future, you should probably wait until your own initiative count comes up to post your action. I understand the logic behind doing it the way you did it, but suppose Rescue and Warp had managed to knock out WM?

Also, when making an attack, please include the DC involved, it just makes things easier. Like for Fletch's current attack, I'm assuming this is DC 21, and not DC 20? He has different values for shuriken and other thrown attacks, the text for his post said 'dart', so I'm not a 100% sure.

[levinwurth]

Yeah, it's DC20. The dart is a shuriken.

[Ysariel]

Guys, this is embarassing! There are 6 of us and one of her, she's vulnerable, and we can't dent her!

Zen Gypsy! Fix this now!

[baixiwei]

Hey guys, I am in New Jersey now, electricity and internet have been intermittent for a while due to the hurricane, so there is a good chance I will be unable to post in any of my games for the next few days. Ironic for Incarnation! Anyway, I apologize for disappearing on you and please feel free to take control of my character if needed to move things along.
