The place to talk about any subject.

Hmmm, this forum won't let me upload a photo at the moment. Oh well.

That was reported on another game on this site. Apparently there's a limit to the amount of space allocated for uploading attachments. Someone mentioned PostImages, where you can host your photos and then use the Img tags.

Success!! That worked. Cool.

Mr Kabukiman,

Would you be happy for Crowley to be one of the pilots, or to take occasional turns piloting? He actually has some skill in piloting.

Cheers,

Snapper

Thanks for the offer, it's not needed for now, but don't worry, latter it will be

If you need another NPC pilot, feel free to use my BTMOM character, Katie Wright.

Thanks, I don't think we will needed.
As you may all notice, this is a very different scenario

Tomorrow I will travell in vacation with my family,so I won't be able to post. So, We will have to interrupt for about 5 days.

No problem - enjoy.

We'll be here when you get back.

Have a great time!

I don't think you can make dice rolls in PMs, so I'll put it here.
Sanity roll (current level 65):
[dice]0[/dice]
Sanity loss:
[dice]1[/dice]

No worries, enjoy!

I'm back!
I need to share one place I visited (in the north of Portugal, my country): an old roman temple. Well, not exactly a temple, but several huge rocks that had been carved with stairs, inscriptions and holes. It wasn't dedicated to the usual gods (like Venus and Jupiter). This was one dedicated to the gods of the underworld. In a rock, 3 niches had been carved: one for the blood of the animals killed in a ceremony, another for the enthrails, and a last one for the meat. The place was far away from the nearest roman town, so the rites were probably made in secret, and had been ordered to be build by a roman senator from the east (not a native from the place). Even now, there is only a small village near (and a museu). The description of the place seems a Lovecraftian scenario... This place is called panoias.

Creepy, bit of human sacrifice and you have a Lovecraftian cult right there

Butch's sanity roll

OOC,Sanity 65 [dice]0[/dice]

Wow, I'm envious, that would be incredible to see.

The usual questions: are you enjoying the game? What do you think? Any sugestions?

Hey, this is cool! I keep hearing it play out in my head as an old time pulp radio serial.

Yeah I'm enjoying it, seems a bit more sinister rather than magical this chapter!

I'm enjoying it too. It has a great Indiana Jones vibe.

It's fun. Haven't had to use luck much so far!

Can you describe the effects of our actions in case that would affect our next moves?

Very well.

Here's a flashback:

Sled Nazis Must Die!

I just backed broken compass in kickstarter, a pulp rpg. With pulp cthulhu and hollow earth, I have more scenarios to play than years to live probably

As a potential PC, can I just say, "Sweet!"

You lose one corpse, that's bad luck. You lost two or more, that's just carelessness.

I just hope they're misplaced rather than wandered off.

That would be worse...

I just notice now that I shoud have put in the titles of the chapters something as : chapter 1, chapter 2...

Crowley is just happy to have a chapter that doesn't involve the words "everyone but Crowley". I know it was a self inflicted injury but he was starting to develop a neurosis / phobia / mania because of it...

"Long pork" is something of a tradition in arctic exploration...

We are now at half of the scenario and I have been thinking about the game and want your opinion about the following subject:
Do you want that we continue this kind of scenarios that are pretty self-contained, fun, fast and very pulpy (there are more two from the hollow earth supplement and more from the broken compass), OR we change the style and length and play games from chaosium (I was thinking the campaign of the two-headed serpent)?

I'm good with either, though I certainly would like to play The Two-Headed Serpent.

Anything you think is good I'm happy to go along with.

I'd like to play two headed serpent but I also like just good old two fisted adventure.

I'm having fun and good for whatever you choose.

Ok, so we continue with this kind of scenarios for now.
Thanks for your opinion!

Those back up characters are looking good right about now...

Yes, even if your haracters don't die, they will be in very bad shape...

I have buy the keepers deck, but I will probably not use in this game, you are already suffering of similar effect created by the scenario itself...

Sounds interesting...

Funny, chaosium reprinted "Beyond the Mountains of Madness"

This plan seems sounds. What could go wrong?

That's not good...

What you want to hear from the GM...

Sparkle sparkle sparkle goes the fuse, 3, 2, 1...

The scenario is finished.
I hope you liked and enjoyed it.
I'l make the pilogue in a few days and then I'l tell you what rolls you must make to your chars.

Thank you, I did enjoy it.

Magic! These adventures have been excellent.

I love a good pulp adventure. Damn near went up with the mutants!

Thanks, good fun, and surprisingly low on the body count/insanity. I thought Crowley was a gonner for sure.

The pulp rules are made to help a lot the players, but yes, some bad dice roles and we would have half the party dead.

Well, this are the skills you had suceeded. If I missed any, please tell me.

I made one Dodge roll. I used luck to make a Throw but I assume using luck doesn't count for a level up?

Sorry about the dodge. With the luck it doesn't count (i made an exception with a latin roll of Mr handy for specific reasons).

Can I get a check for my pushed Charm roll or doesn't that count?

On the downside, I don't believe Crowley ever succeeded with a Medicine roll.

On the upside, he did success several times with shotgun.

I can't know what I rolled when the dice roller was working. I could probably tell by the context whether or not I succeeded, but I don't really have time to go through the whole thing.

Spot Hidden (55% skill) does not increase.
Listen (20% skill) increases by 9 to 29.
Firearms(Handgun) (66% skill) increases by 7 to 73.
First Aid (58% skill) increases by 9 by 67.
Dodge (65% skill) increases by 2 to 67.
Navigate (60% skill) increases by 7 to 67.

Those were some very lucky rolls! Funny how many of my skills ended up at 67.

Do we get a Luck increase? I kind of used a lot of it at the end.

Spot hidden 60%
Listen 48%

Yes it count.

The shotgun passed me. So, you can make the roll.

Not bad at all.

Everyone will now increase 1d4 of credit rating.
Gain 1d10+1 of sanity, but if you recovered all your starting sanity, you will have less 1 point (it's the trauma for all those things you saw).
You recover all the hit points, but everyone except Harry gets one scar (Your choice: it's the kind of thing you can brag latter).
Roll 1d10. Increase one or more skills with that result.
Recover all luck.
I think it's all.
And latter I have a surprise.

Spot Hidden 55
Listen 35
Listen Increase 1
Rifle 69
Rifle Increase 4
Mechanical Repair 64
Dodge 51
Dodge Increase 4
Credit Rating Increase 4
Sanity Increase 5
Skill Increase 5 (Throw)

When you say recover all luck, do you mean to where we started adventure or up the our maximum luck of 99?

Credit rating: 1d4 3

Sanity: 1d10+1 11

Skill: 1d10 1

The first adventure you played.

Credit Rating increases by 1 to 24.

Sanity increases by 4 to 47.

Firearms(Handgun) increases by 4 to 77.

Luck is restored to 70.

Crowley:


Credit Rating Increase: 1d4 2


Handgun increase: 1d10 3


Crowley now has a jagged scar running down his right cheek to his jaw.

Character sheet all updated.

Well, none of the scenarios that are left from hollow earth are of my liking (actually, one has several problems). So, I decide that we will play "The two headed serpent."

Okay

Sounds great to me! Suitably pulp title.

Definitely up for it, is meant to be a good pulp campaign. I suspect we will need to dust off some of those alternative characters - I sense significant mortality...

Awesome!

Crowley is feeling pretty indestructible just about now...
