Play@YSDC

Okay just a try out of the Ubiquity System really although it may form the start of a 'gaslight/steampunkish/explorerish' type set of adventures.
There are pregens available, so at this stage for a 'one shot' adventure there is no character generation to worry about. The system is based on the Ubiquity System from Exile Games Studio with adaptions by Triple Ace Games.
A simple system with, I feel, great possibilities. What we get here is a 'taster' for 'Leagues of Adventure', as they say just enough rules to play the scenario. The scenario being one of two possibles, 'The Plateau of the Apemen' or 'The Dragons of London' the exact scenario is yet to be decided.
The characters are;
Big Game Hunter
Consulting Detective
Hard Working Reporter (Female)
Explorer
Crackpot Antiquarian
Pioneering Aviatrix (Female)

So far DrPeterson has nabbed the Consulting Detective, Tabs the Crackpot antiquarian.

The Ubiquity System (on the back of a postage stamp)

Leagues of Adventure is a roleplaying game set in the late Victorian Age. Its larger-than-life heroes and villains and continuing adventures are powered by Ubiquity, an innovative game system that emphasizes storytelling and cinematic action. The Ubiquity system provides you with the tools and flexibility to play the kind of game you and your group want to play.
Dice
Unlike most other roleplaying games, Ubiquity does not use a specific type of dice. Any die will work, as long as it has an even number of sides. When making an Attribute or Skill check, roll a number of dice equal to the dice pool and count up the number of even numbers used. This total is the number of successes rolled. Odd numbers do not subtract from the number of successes.
Example: Rolling seven dice give a result of 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 8, and 11. Tally up the even- numbered dice (4, 8, and 8) for a result of three successes. (I have tried this out on Invisible Castle and the dice roller handles it okay)
Dice Rolls
Dice rolls are made by rolling a number of dice equal to the appropriate Skill or Attribute rating, and counting the successes. If the player gets successes equal to or more than the Difficulty of the task, she succeeds. Weapon, equipment, and situational modifiers may increase or decrease the number of dice rolled.
Taking the Average
If a character’s average skill rating is greater than or equal to the Difficulty rating, the player may choose not to roll the dice and automatically succeed instead.
Players may not Take the Average during combat, or in stressful situations (as determined by the Gamemaster). On the other hand, the Gamemaster may choose to Take the Average for non-player characters’ dice rolls in order to speed up combat. If a Skill or Attribute rating is listed with a “+” sign, the character rolls a single die. A success adds one to the average rating, a failure does not.



Further rule explanation will be forthcoming in due time.
So, 'roll up, roll up, join the adventure of a lifetime!!' (first come, first served)

Put me down for the Crackpot Antiquarian.

A detective and an antiquarian, good times abound!

Gentlemen please feel free to supply your respective characters a suitable name.

A little more introduction blurb;

Leagues of Adventure is a roleplaying game set in the late Victorian Age. It follows the grand traditions of fiction such as H. G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and The Time Machine, Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan series, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Lost World and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days, Five Weeks in a Balloon, and The Adventures of Captain Hatteras, Rudyard Kipling’s The Man Who Would Be King, and H. Rider Haggard’s King Solomon’s Mines and She—works which laid the foundations for the later pulp and steampunk genres.
In many regards Leagues of Adventure follows the tradition of the pulp genre, albeit set in an earlier era. It is a world where much is happening:
* While a large portion of the globe has been mapped, brave explorers and adventures are pushing back the re¬maining boundaries, venturing into previously unchart¬ed regions and making contact with cultures previously unknown to the Western world.
* Colonial officers rule over much of the known world in the name of foreign governments. The colonial pow¬ers’ lust for new resources and markets has led to "the Great Game," intense political maneuvering between the Great Powers of the day. While diplomats and viceroys work in the open, spies foment dissension and try to uncover their rivals’ secrets.
* Weird scientists are at the front of a technological revolution. Despite these advances, science is matched by a rise in occultism and spiritualism. Magic may be dead, but men and women have become fascinated with the hereafter.
* Treasure hunters and antiquarians are discover¬ing not only lost tombs, but entire lost cities, ruins unexplored for centuries or even millennia. Some crave knowledge of these bygone days, while others seek to plunder fabulous treasures.
* Scientists of all disciplines are making new discover¬ies about our natural world and the heavens beyond.
It is a time of adventure and exploration, of wonder and amazement, of science and the occult, and of the dark days of colonial oppression.
So, the question arises: what exactly is Leagues of Adventure? Is it a gritty steam-pulp game where the characters stand in the way of automatons bristling with gears and gadgets, villainously set upon the destruction of London? Is it a pulp action game set in exotic locales, where they meet and handily defeat savage warriors before sitting down to afternoon tea and discussing the damnable heat? Or is it a highly cinematic one in which the characters swing single-handedly from the underside of an early airship whilst bare-knuckle boxing ptero¬dactyls over a lost plateau on which stands a pyramid built by some unknown civilization ... or something else entirely different?
Truth be told, it is all of these, and whatever else you want it to be! This book is not a stone tablet, into which are chiseled firm rules and set ways of playing the game. There is no right or wrong way to use Leagues of Adventure, and it is flexible enough to cope with any roleplaying style.
Whatever drives your character, there’s a world packed with danger, excitement, and mystery out there just waiting to be explored!

Hurrah, dering do, adventure and a splendid cup of tea!!

Hooray and hip hip for this dashing heap of pulp!
And damn that blasted heat!


I shall be giving voice to Horatio George Wellington, daring detective, supreme sleuth and brilliant brainbox!




In such a brilliant adventure, where would we be without the equally amazing Peter Cushing?

I'm loving this more by the minute! They even based their drawing of the detective on Cushing!

If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion in the hope of attracting at least one more participant, the Explorer, Big Game Hunter or Diligent Reporter (Female) are recommended.

Gentlemen.
As players willing to try this system seem rarer than Dodo eggs, I am considering going with two main characters (yours) and two NPCs which you will also have control of untill (hopefully) new players are forthcoming.
If you are interested in the idea please signify by tapping your wine glasses with your dinner knives in a polite and seemly manner.

Hear, hear!

I happen to have a very good friend who is staying in London at the moment. He was injured in the East Indies, but there's no keener shot and no better doctor!

Alas there is no pregen doctor. However, I will study those that remain and see if I can alter one to suit.

Oh no, don't worry about that. I'll take the Big Game Hunter, or the Explorer if Tabs prefers the BGH.

How about the lady reporter as well for me?

Perfect I'll set them up. Big Game Hunter and the Hard Working Reporter.

Gentlemen, fellow members of the Leagues of Adventure society, I present to you your fellow companions.
Firstly a young woman of outstanding prominence in the field of journalism, Miss Nellie Bly, of the Fernley Bly's.
Now I realize having females is not to the taste of some of our more ‘venerable’ members, but we must move with the times and Miss Bly, I am sure, will prove a most valuable asset in any forthcoming adventure.
And next, but by no means least, may I also crave your further indulgence and introduce to you the Right Honourable Peter Roxborough, son of Lord Roxborough a long standing member of this society. Well I say “long standing” and so he was until a blasted lion ate one of his legs during a recent expedition to Kenya.
(Full character details may be found on the Characters topic)

Miss Amelia Watson is now Nellie Bly

My my, that is a sassy Victorian dame! Rawr!


The right honourable Peter Roxborough will be portrayed by the redoubtable Robert Peck.

DrPeterson wrote:My my, that is a sassy Victorian dame! Rawr!

From what I briefly read about Nellie Bly, she's the type of gal who'd take no shines from a man. . . .

Gentlemen, and Miss Bly, it is my intention to begin proceedings Monday 7th. The rules are simple any problems and I will deal with them as they arise. For either of you that have had experience of the Ubiquity rules before, Hollow Earth Expeditions, the rules are more or less the same.
Until Monday then.

Hooray, see you on monday!

Okay, looking forward to starting. Don't hesitate to advise me on the rules or point out what Mr. Klevendon and Miss Bly could/should be doing.

I can't really make out the text on the paper clippings, apart from the headlines that is.


And another question, do we know each other personally?

I did try to enlarge the picture so it could be read easily but I was unable. Enlarging just made bigger gobbledigook. However the headlines should suffice.
Idealy no but given that you are each controlling another character as a NPC, that would seem odd. So for ease sake I would say - yes you do.

I've just had communication from Carnage-Lee requesting that he may join us. As a result I will hold on before Professor Hawthorne attempts to answer your many and varied questions, so that he may enter the fray.

Okay, great news.

Um, I'd hate to miss stuff, info., whatever, because I could be utilising an ability. Can you pass on any tips, like Klevendon should roll "Anthropology" whilst looking at Professor Hawthorne's books.

Tabs wrote:Okay, great news.

Fear not I will make sure you miss nothing. Do I take it that you have had a request from Lee?

Yes. I said okay to him playing Nellie.

Excellant then I shall continue.
As far as check and that go. If at any time you want to use a skill or ability, let me know. The Rating number is the number of dice in your pool to this you may spend style points to increase the total of dice if you need to. Providing you have any left that is.
Currently there is little in the Professors office of interest, and you have 3 style points.

Hi and thanks for letting me into the fold

It seems to me that inviting a journalist... and then saying 'please don't repeat anything of what I about to say to the newspapers' is a bit umm.... well daft.

I'd like to suggest that Nellie is either writing a piece on the League that the others are members of or writing a piece on one of the player-characters. Nellie's flaw is honesty.... she won't keep this out of the papers unless she's been engaged on another commission.

Does this make sense / does anyone disagree?

And... whom is Nellie 'writing up' - I think the League as an organisation would be good, maybe for The Stand Magazine?

Great! Welcome aboard, Lee!

Priest wrote: OOC: Please look to your Character Sheets and if you wish at any time to employ a skill please advise me and we’ll run through it.

OK, I thought I might be taking a chance saying that Nellie thought the Professor was being sincere... could or should Nellie have used Con (in a reverse capacity) to try to realise that she (and indeed the others) are being misled?

I hadn't actualy thought of using skills in their reverse way. but it is an idea for the future. What I was getting at was for instance if someone wanted to use investigation on the basement door then we could use it as a way of seeing how the skill system works.

Gotcha

Well I shall be happy to oblige....

I've edited Nellie's post - stating she's 'investigating the door'....

DrPeterson wrote:OOC: I thought that was what I said

I only rolled one die for the average of his investigation skill, which is 4+1. It said I had to roll to determine if the average ends up a 4 or 5.

OOC: Whoops, my bad I misread what you wrote

Firstly, I am really enjoying this game

Secondly, there are few things that I think we need (as an group) to ask/obtain/know. These things have occurred to me; but maybe Nellie wouldn't realise to ask them.

1) we need to establish a time-line, when was the assistant last seen alive, etc
1a) work out if the events we are currently investigating are linked to anything else (as per the newspaper clippings). From what I've (re-)read of Hawthorne's opening speach, the 'monster in the courtyard' occured before the hatching (well the body of the assistant was discovered yesterday) hence needign to pin times down as much as possible.

2) someone ought to point out that the Professor is guilty of obstruction of justice.... or more probably failure to report a death - something that we as a group are fast becoming accomplices to.

3) someone sent the egg to Hawthorne (if indeed that is what happened) like suspects are the members of the club where he made the remark about the Basilisk.

I second that first remark!

I concur with most of your points, but I suggest we keep them for the wrap up of this scene, when we're back in the professor's office, for example.

Not that my character is a copy of Sherlock or anything (ahum), but a certain Holmesian reveal might force itself then

If we don't cover these subjects before that point, of course.

DrPeterson wrote: I concur with most of your points, but I suggest we keep them for the wrap up of this scene, when we're back in the professor's office, for example.

I agree - we should at least get the probable time of death (and therefore hatching) before we leave the Museum.

Hi all,

I've just added the OOC BBCode

OOC:   It will automatically make whatever you type RED and add OOC to the beginning.

How do I use it?

DrPeterson wrote:How do I use it?

There's a new BBCode button above the posting form 'ooc' - if you click that it'll insert :
into your post.

Type any OOC stuff between the tags.

Cheers, Lee, you're the best!

Can I quote you on that?

I've created a new BBCode.... To indicate character thoughts.

The tag takes two pieces of info: 1) the characters name 2) the actual thoughts - separated by a comma. This ads a box with the characters thoughts all rendered in green (which seems to be the norm for thoughts).

For example: Will look like:

Nellie thinking:   'What if the egg contained some toxic substance and reacting over time with the heat from the steam-pipes or perhaps some other mechanism casing the egg to 'hatch' breaking and then exposing the deadly poison to fill the room, killing the Professor's assistant. And if so was this some kind of assassination attempt...' Nellie's mind raced ahead.

The wording 'thinking: ' after the name is added automatically.

DrPeterson wrote:Cheers, Lee, you're the best!

carnage_lee wrote:Can I quote you on that?!

I know I just did.

Lee sir, you are most assuredly a gentleman and a scholar!!

I have had a request from Papa Gateaux to join this august company. He has indicated that he would like to play Roxborough the Big Game Hunter. I have, of course, advised him that said Roxborough is at present under the guidance of the redoubtable Dr.Peterson and advised him to contact the good Dr.P for his answer.

Gentlemen and Miss Bly, we have a new new player joinining your goodselves. Papa Gateau will henceforth be taking the part of the right honourable Roxborough previously voiced by the redoubtable Dr. Peterson.

Three cheers for Papa Gateau!

Hip hip!

I randomly came across this today:

Actualy that's a bloody usefull resource. Well done that man

Much obliged.

I think we got quite a bit of info do far; now we need some more...

Moving on to the King's Head seems like the next move; take a spot of luncheon and have a nose about.

After that we could split up? One lot going on to the Zoo to see if there's anything of any import about the dead horse (and is a cabby actually missing?). The second group heading over to Hawthorne's club (where they may not even allow Nellie inside).

Allowing for possible travel times (by hansom) we ought to be able to get to the King's Head by noon(ish), eat and poke about (say an hour (unless anything untoward or urgent crops up)) - then splitting up and arranging to meet later at (somewhere) to then agree the next steps.


Oh and someone needs to do some research into Basilisks ... the Venerable Bede is a good starting point

This is just my OOC summation of where we are at and where we could go next. As always YMMV

And we need to see the crate the egg arrived in

YMMV: Your Mi-Go may vary?


I think that's a good summation. I was thinking of having Klevendon and Wellington go to the club and Bly and Roxborough do the more animalistic section.
But we'll discuss this over a spot of luncheon, shan't we?

DrPeterson wrote:YMMV: Your Mi-Go may vary?

Or Your Mythos Monster Vanishes

Hi to Papa Gateau.

Welcome aboard, Papa!

Welcome to the game Papa, hope you enjoy it as much as I do



Inspector Nettles... would that be John Nettles by any chance?

I thought Bergerac would have been too obvious

Hello all. I was hoping to be upto speed yesterday but I spent the weekend in bed with a filthy cold and dosed up with night nurse.

I've now read the first chapter and am ready to take the on the rambunctious Roxborough - many thanks Dr.P for his being his caretaker throughout chapter 1.

Right - I feel a large meat platter or two is in order!

Firstly, welcome Papa G I hope you find this little game as enjoyable as we all seem to be.

Secondly, I shall be absent from Sunday 27th to Friday 1st (Family stuff) I shall however have my rather pathetic tablet with me so shall endeavour to keep up.

Quick spot of help/clarification please, oh marvellous Keeper...

Nellie has the skill Con, in the rules it says that the character can specialise in Bluff, Fast Talk, Lying, Tricks or Seduction. There's no separate note on the character sheet - should there be a specialisation?

Assuming there should be and not wanting to just choose the most advantageous for the current situation I shall roll 1d10

1-2 = Bluff
3-4 = Fast Talk
5-6 = Lying
7-8 = Tricks
9-10 = Seduction

[dice]0[/dice]

So that'd be Fast Talk?

I think that it is a matter of the core rules versus the rules light introduction here.
In the introduction scenario they only give basic rules, so specialisations are only used on certain characters sheets. I think off the top of my head The detective gets one for his Investigation skill (Crimes) but I will take a look at the rule in the core book and as long as it doesn't overbalance the scenario I see no reason not to introduce it.

Further to your question about specilisations Lee.
As I thought there is no mention of them in the introductory pack. However they would not unbalance the scenario if anything they enhance it so we shall be using them.

Skill Specializations
Skills cover a broad range of topics and activities, but you may choose to have your character specialize in a specific aspect of a Skill. A Skill Specialization represents a specific topic, activity, or item that your character is par¬ticularly familiar with. For example, your character may be better with pistols or rifles than with other firearms. Whenever your character’s Specialization applies to the action being taken, you receive a bonus die to your Skill roll. You must have at least one Skill Level in a Skill to specialize in it, and you may not purchase more than one Specialization in a particular Skill during character creation.
There are countless different Skill Specializations for each Skill; the ones most common to Leagues of Adventure are listed below. Feel free to come up with your own Spe¬cializations, but be sure to get Gamemaster approval first.
(From the core rules)

Specialisations
Nellie:
Con – seduction 8/4
Streetwise – Rumours 7/3+

Klevendon
Anthropology – mythology 6/3
Linguistics – deciphering 7/3+

Wellington:
Investigation – crimes 9/4+
Stealth – shadowing 6/3

Roxborough:
Firearms – rifles 8/4
Survival – tracking 6/3

I shall be away from my computer from Monday to Friday next week. However I shall have my tablet so will, if the gods favour me, stay in contact although in a limited form.

Enjoy your trip, Priest!

A nice sirloin of cheval with a green pepper sauce and perhaps a bottle of Chinon. Hmm yes, definitely time to go and pay Le Blanc's a visit!

Well that got me salivating.

I'll be gone till Monday.
Feel free to npc my character should the need arise.

Hurrah I'm home once more. Tablet was a waste of time, sorry chaps. Will update later today.

A point I'd like to clarify please....

The 'animal dung' in the alley.... is it fair to say that every denizen of Victorian England would be familiar with regular equine dung? To my mind this makes perfect sense... in that case is it recognizable as such - without a roll of some kind? What I am trying to say is... do we (our character) recognize it as such?

Good point, and one I overlooked. You are absolutely right you would be familiar with different kinds of faeces, horse definately.
It is only a small quatity but not particular to any species you have ever seen, of course investigation may give more information.
Just dont do a Holmes and taste it

Thanks; I was pretty sure that was the case...

Taste it... the very idea!

Reminds me of that old joke...

Two hikers walk across a field, one stops the other as he's about to put his boot onto a suspicious mound.
"Careful.. that looks like a cow pat" and drops to his knees, dips an index finger into the mess and sniffs, "smells like a cow pat", licks his finger "tastes like a cow pat.... good job you didn't tread in it."

Good joke--raised a smile.

I finally managed to copy the newspaper report on the 'Vanishing Cabbie' story. Since you came into possession of this article your knowledge has changed somewhat. For instance you know that much of the article is a fiction created to misdirect public fears.

Thanks for posting that, very helpful.... no really it is, honest.

Style points available to spend have been updated for Act III. Please don't forget they can be used, however saving them for critical situations is not a bad idea.

Thanks very much, shall be saving mine for the 'avoiding going into the sewers roll' )

You will find a good map of London here. Circa 1895, easy to use and well detailed.

I'm on hunting trip for Santa in Lapland with my kids tomorrow (Thu) - I'll be back Wednesday (11th). I'll have my ipad with me but I'm not sure what connectivity I'll have.

NPC my character as necessary.

Okay Papa, have a good time.

Nice photo of Fleet Street. I like photos!

Colonel Otto Von Uberhausen: who is he?

Yeah I like old photos too.
Otto was the character I got ready when someone else said they wanted to join in, then changed their minds. So Otto Von Uberhausen is forever destined to be nothing more than a name.

I'm back

Seasons Greetings to all!
I hope we're all on the 'good list'

HO HO HO

Hi, just dropped in to say that I've caught a stinking cold, which is the reason why I'm not posting.

Bleh, get well!

Sorry, I've been away and busy - I need to read the Cerebral Activities thread to catch up and then I'm back in play. I'll try and get to it tonight.

I'll be gone till Thursday! Have fun and please feel free to play Wellington in my absence.

DrPeterson wrote:I'll be gone till Thursday! Have fun and please feel free to play Wellington in my absence.

No problem. Whatever it is, have a good time (if that's appropriate)

It sure was!

We went hiking in the Ardennes, looking at caves and wildlife and eating the latter.

House move on Thursday 13th. I will be without the computer for several days until BT get the line sorted. Once that's done the adventure will continue, until then - talk amongst yourselves

DrPeterson wrote:It sure was!

What, squirrels and badgers? I always imagined the Ardennes to be flat land with woods, no caves.


House move: more bedrooms?

The Ardennes are an old mountain ranged formed during the Hercynean orogenic phase. Due to the fact that they're around 200 million years old, they've flattend out a bit

But there's badgers, boar, lynxes, all manner of owls, reindeer, red deer, aurochs, bears, wild cats, prezwalski horses, wolves, bison, you name it.

Bears and wolves. You didn't camp, did you?

No, we didn't

But I must admit that the megafauna isn't as abundant as might be implied by the above statement. Those creatures were all in the wildlife preserve we visited.

Previously Tabs said:   House move: more bedrooms?

Fraid not old chap, fewer in fact. We have as they say "downsized". Far from easy like trying to fit a pair of wellies in a shoebox made for slippers.
Game will proceed once I uncover the box with the scenario in.

hey all - I should be around a little more often and able to post more. I have an injured back and have been in and out of hospital and on morphine.

If I go quiet on you without prior warning please feel free to move things along with Roxbourough as neceessary.

Good health to you, Papa G.!

Sorry to hear that Papa G, hope you feel better soon! Don't worry about Roxy.... he's got a huuuuuge gun, so what can go wrong?

Get better soon! and as Lee says "Don't worry about Roxy.... he's got a huuuuuge gun, so what can go wrong?" However I'll take the liberty of adding an evil laugh.

I'm away on holiday with my kids until the 26th. I'll have my laptop with me but will probably only post once a day, though I'll try and check in more often if I can.

Hi all

I'm going into hospital tomorrow for major surgery to my back.

I'm told that they have wi-fi in the hospital but I probably won't be able to post again until Sunday - but that will be dependant on the type of post-operative pain-care I'm on. I'm sure any posting I make whilst doped up on morphine will be interesting if not actually relevant to the storyline.

See you on the other side.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Papa G

Come back soon. Best wishes.

I wish you luck!

Apologies all. We've had a sudden rash of inlaws so computer time has been limited. Will try and update tonight, if not will do tomorrow

Ugh! I feel your pain - nothing worse than infestation of inlaws!

Hey Priest - you ok fella? I think we're waiting on you...

I sent our awesome Keeper a PM the other day... come back we miss you!

Apologies chaps. Been away, back now will get right on it

I've really enjoyed this - it's been good fun.

Definitely count me in (with Roxborough) if/when you run the sequel.

Thanks for running this Andy! I thoroughly enjoyed the game, you did an excellent job of running this and helped bring everything to life (in my head).

The scenario broke down well into discrete sections and every part had a clear defined goal (even if we didn't realise it right away) - I particularly enjoyed some of the earlier scenes, with the visit to the 'King's Head' and the 'hunt in the sewers' providing some stand out moments. The latter scenes were a trifle 'rail-roaded' but (as I now know ) the scenario was written as an introduction to the game and very suited to 'convention-play' so it's written to finish fast. You managed the scenes where the characters split up superbly - something that isn't easy to manage in a pbp game.

The cast of characters were nicely realised and there was some excellent role-playing all round and I look forward to adventuring in the 'Leagues of Adventure' universe again.

Thanks everyone for making this a game to remember!

^^^^^^^^^ What he said

Thanks all for playing. A RPG is only as good as the players, and everyone excelled at giving the characters life.
It was not the easiest scenario I have tried to run, and was, as Lee said a bit, railroady. But in the scenarios defence it was intended as an introduction to LOA, and supposed to be playable in four hours, ha! - it lasted a trifle longer than that.

I learned a lot about the 'Ubiquity System' and must say that for the most part I was impressed. Impressed enough to consider moving on to the first of their proper scenarios 'Dreaming Spires - Scenario One of the Great Game Campaign' at some stage. Those who chooses to continue with the characters from 'Dragons..' will be more than welcome to do so. However should knew players wish to join in or should old ones wish to create their own, they will be welcome also.
If Lee should wish to continue with either Wellington or Nellie it is his choice.

Again my thanks to all for making the 'Dragons of London' such an enjoyable game
