DIG: Heresy
« on: June 22, 2018, 09:31:51 pm »


RULES
This is everything you need to make a character and play the game.

LORE
This is a lot of info about the world. Reading it isn't required, but it can help you understand the setting. You can always just skim it and search up stuff you need later.

MAP
This is the map of the local area you start in. It will expand as you explore. Word of advice: DO NOT GO UP.

You blink in confusion as the black bag is pulled off your head, darkness replaced with blinding light. Your eyes start to adjust but before you can get a good look around someone shoves you down into a chair. A metal table screeches across the stone floor and grinds to a stop in front of you. The room's only light shines harshly down from above and you see shadowy figures shifting around you. One moves forward and, one by one, slaps three pieces of paper down on the table.  Each one is an image of a Tunnel Bore along with specifications and explanations written in small text next to them.

A hand grabs the back of your head and and pushes your face closer to the table; your bound hands bite painfully into your back.

"The situation here is very simple." A voice -gruff and arrogant- says from somewhere in front of you, "We have a job we need you to do.  Do it well and we let you go. Fail it and we'll feed you to the wool maggots. Understand?"

To punctuate the point the man behind you slams your head into the table before jerking it back up to look at the three different Bores.

"Now, choose which one of these fine chariots you want to ride off on."


Industrial Bore
Power: 12
Mobility: 10
System: 8
Integrity: 8
Penetration: 12
8 Open rooms.
A decommissioned industrial bore used for digging Tunnel Paths. Has a strong boiler and powerful drill but its frame and plating isn’t designed to withstand much abuse.


Military Bore
Power: 8
Mobility: 12
System: 12
Integrity: 12
Penetration: 6
3 open rooms
4 cannons (cannon 5, pierce 5)
Surplus Military Bore leftover from an unsuccessful attempt to slay a Great Worm.  A mobile weapons platform with thick armor, advanced automated systems and a precision mobility system.  Smaller than most other bores and as a result lacks a powerful boiler and drill.


Nomad Bore
Power: 8
Mobility: 14
System: 6
Integrity: 10
Penetration: 12
15 Open Rooms
An oversized and outdated Bore formerly used by trading caravans. Its systems are outdated and its boiler isn’t the best, but its powerful drill and expertly tuned mobility systems allow it to get just about anywhere.



((The choice with the highest number of votes will be the starting vehicle for the players))

Down at the bottom of the ocean. Beneath tons of brine which would crush you down. Not into broken and splintered flesh, but into thin soup. Into just more of the sea water. Where things live that aren't so different from you, but you will never live to touch them and they will never live to touch you.

Immortality like that would be even more game breaking than four Aaron's in one place.
You're both so obviously scum that this is a surprisingly difficult decision.

The nomad bore is tempting, but the low System seems a bad idea unless we have a driver. Ranked Choices:
  • Industrial Bore
  • Nomad Bore
  • Military Bore

I'm sure we can strongarm someone into taking some driving skill. ;P

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

You know that thing where you have a thing that is alive but then something happens and the thing is no longer alive? Well like that but for all the things.

(1) You start forward with determination and certainty. You carry this determination with you right into the gaping crater that opens under your feet. You fall into a pit. The sounds of combat above dim, along with the light from the suns. In the quiet below, you hear some other noises instead.
