Bay 12 Games Forum

Race change:  Vote YEA.  Since we've already blown through 1/3 of the race... (And I have long range weapons, huheh)

If we use shopping as an action, is race progress preserved?  (I'm 3 tiles short, if I race/shop and roll an 8, do I end up at 40 or 35?)


Can players inside the compound interact with each other?  (I can just imagine my missile launcher hitting 4 different people inside the maintenance compound [then the excess missiles destroying the whole thing])

2 times no. The compound is just another build turn( reroll things,add extra waepons)
You can pick up supplies though( also, you can roll for supplies)

Look around for more things to eat. We should try to develop some safe version of the attack Peweaseadeopod-thingy that we can use to pass along small freefloating pieces of DNA, like bacteria do.

Important message: I'm thinking of making a drastic rule change in the second part of the game(40-120). Double the remaining map length, Double all weapon ranges, leave engines and fuel the same. This will give people more chance of running out of supplies, attacking each other and give me more place to plot down weather events.

When attacking, remember to decide which part to attack, and also with which weapons.   Also, some new buyable items.
Also, if you feel like being friendly for the GM today, Please put your name in front of you commands.LIke
ME:ACTION 1
ME: ACTION 2


Part1:

Luke Prowler: Race(Booster) Jump bridge
Toaster: 1. Race past checkpoint! (I asume you mean the obstacle)
Dariush: Weapons:
1) Melee/grapple Luke Prowler in the fuel tank;
2) Attack Tyrin with missiles in the engine;
3) (if possible) Flamethrow Monk in the fuel tank;
Maximum Mc Dreith: Pass checkpoint
Tyrin:Race
Scelly: Race to maintenance +Nitro +Point Defence.
Monk 12: Search for food Action changed to pass checkpoint because of a full cargo hold.

Another day begins and Dariush steers his Tank closer to the Red Wrecker Supreme. He succesfully uses it's robotic pincers[4] and [2]punctures The Red Wreckers fuel tank and manages to latch on[6]vs[5]. He then fires a misille[1] at The Valkyrie, but misses[2+1]. This is followed by a firey salvo of doom[4] directed at The Zephyr Cathedral[2]. The flames manage[3] to gain a small foothold and charr the fuel tank and the Engines( Damage spread spreads damage equally over different parts). Meanwhile Max and Monk pass the checkpoint.

Luke Prowler activates his Booster and races away, dragging Dariush behind him[6+5]. Toaster follows[3+4], but hits the side of the bridge as he jumps ([2]vs[4]) , though his armor protects him from taking any damage[4]vs[2]. Steve notices him of the fact that he's almost out of fuel. Tyrin makes only minor progress[1+3]. Far ahead of him, The starrunner activates it's boasters and blasts away[5*2+5] arriving at the maintenance compound.


Part2:
Luke Prowler: Activate Booster: RAce(Jump bridge)
Toaster:2. If within range of Scelly, Veteran fires laser at his engines, using all available ammo for hit bonuses.
Else if engines are damaged, repair them.
Else if not past obstacle, clear it safely.
Else all gather food.
Dariush: Race, let go
Maximum Mc Dreith: Race
Tyrin: >Fire Automated Miniguns at the nearest competitor, taking advantage of the "
Air[2]: The winds seems to have lessened. Giving Airplanes a +1 to hit bonus( Note this in your attacks or I might forget)"
Scelly: Scavenge for fuel. If by some insane stroke of bad luck I don't reach the maintenance bay, fire weapons at pursuers. If they are out of range, Scavenge for fuel.
Items to pick up at maintenance:
23 free cargo.
3x Missile ammo. [15]
2x Turret ammo [4]
2x food [2]
2x Point Defense ammo. [2]
Monk 12: Race

Luke, still using his Boasters, makes good progress[6+5], though he's still slowed down by Dariush, who decided to come along. Dariush helps a bit though[3+2]. Total progress:11+11+5/2.
Luke graciously[5] jumps the bridge[3], while Dariush tumbles along behind[3-1], smashing into one of the pillars[4]. He doesn't take any damage though[5]vs[4+1]. Max attempts to follow them[5+2],and somehow manages to get throught the debris whitout damage[1]vs[1], he also passes the fallen trees[2] without problems[1].Monk trundles along behind them[2+3]

Tyrin fires his miniguns[3+1] at the Armadillo[1], but the Anti aircraft device shows how awesome it is[7] by shooting the incoming bullets[3]. Toaster's crew searches for food[2][3][1]. They find 3 food units. Scellies crew meanwhile manages to find [2],[2],[3]+2 3 units of fuel.

That night the Armadillo stealthily creeps forward.[2]

Weather forecast:(Extremely nice, nice, cloudy, raining, stormy ,heavy storm)


[6] Suprise, The weather stays bad. It seems that some sort of never seen before Hypercane is targetting the circuit. People are blaming Global Warming, Aliens and/or God.

Character sheet:
Name: Andric Zumwalder
Nationality: CHAOS!
Appearance: Has an Evil stare with deep green eyes. His skin is a pale gray, his hair is a dark brown,  and his muscles are thick and knotty. There is obvious genetic altering at play the way his 8 foot tall figure stands, covered in a ridiculously high amount of muscle mass. Just looking at this person makes you feel like... something is just wrong with his very existence. His breathing is heavy and slow.
Good traits: Fearless: This character becomes better in combat the worse the odds are., Berserk: While in the same fight, each kill scored grants him progressively better accuracy and damage and he ignores a great deal of pain. However, he looses dodging and blocking in equal amounts as the fury rises due to his reckless behavior.
Bad traits: (see bad part of Berserk), Short tempered: This character has an extremely short fuse and may attack anyone, even his teammates, if they anger him. He also cannot ignore insults/challenges without satisfaction or apology. He may not even accept apology if the roll is low.
Job: Khorne Berserker
Inventory: 2X Khorne Berserker Axes (Powered by a suit or by Blood)
-First action: Grab box containing my power armor, boltac pistol and ammo (Power armor shouldn't be op though- think of how many people die in warhammer to regular bullets- its just good armor )
-Setting(previously universe): Warhammer 40k universe

First time I've done one of these online, so I hope I did the card right without anything being op. Let me know if its ok or not and I can revise it.

Tyrin is right. I would have let you get away with it if we were in a Warhammer 40K universe at the moment, but currently its steampunk London.

Also, there's still  the isue of how you got into the timemachine.

I'm going to update, within 2 days.
Sorry that I left this somewhat hanging around, but I was kinda busy. Now is the time wherether you want to blow the crap out of people or try to get along with them.

Stuff corrected, cash countdowns and rations subtracted.

Also, Monk, you might want to look at your food stocks.

Hmmm, it was stated that it takes about a month or so to round them all up. Aiming for their leader or any trustworthy source seems better as it does not go under 'all', corrupting that sword would give you a free weapon for a new battle-oriented Champion, *Looking at you, Guard*. Leaving some survivors could help your notoriety and spread confusion, but there is always a chance of some group out there knowing beforehand and trying to convince the monarchy about us.

Also, we could secretly corrupt the blade, then tell him we would give it to him if he [INSERT EVIL DEED HERE]
He would  then have to choose between doing something evil for a chance to kill us(which won't happen since we corrupted the blade) or doing nothing and letting us continue our evil deeds.

Build Siege engines: catapults,Magonels,ballista's ...
Possible types of ammunition
       -Plaged cattle
       -Rocks
       -Zombies(Maybe some of them survive, should scatter morale to see dead bodies thrown at you, more so if they still move)
       -Greek fire??

The SIege engines range should be much greater than what is standard for these times, even if it means that they 're not as strong.

When the Heroic army reaches our location, they will probably demand our surrender. They will probably do this from just outside the presumed range of our siege weaponry. SO when they setup their forces into  "safe" terrain, we fire all siege engines. If we are luckly we might take out their command staff and a good part of their army.
