Re: General OOC
Hi all,
sorry for the delay - no internet on the train and I've been busy with the kids.
I've created my character and am ready to start - it's not the PC I had envisaged but the dice rolls weren't kind in that department, so I have a young street urchin/scrounger type. I was originally after a big brute street tough/professional fighter/thug but I'm happy with what I've got.
I'm not 100% with all the skills - I've used the skills and base values that royya put in the house rules thread - even though these are different to the BRP rules (e.g BRP only has 'hide' - whereas royya's have both 'hide' and 'conceal'). There is no 'brawl' skill - I am assuming it is covered in melee combat.
Anyway, looking forwards to getting this one going.
Cheers

Re: General OOC
Hi Papa,
1. No brawl - there is melee instead.
2. you can drop effort, stamina, agility and charisma - no use for them. just the luck and idea.
3. skill points are allocated using your INT and EDU. not sure what is the Profession: 300 you wrote is.
4. Yes, the base skill points are changed from the regular BRPG rules. good that you used the ones I posted.
Since Frog is a little sneaky thief, he is sent to the mines to clear stones and crawl through narrow niches and tunnels, delivering food and water to the workers. To prevent him from escaping, there is a collar around his neck with a transmitter. His expected release from prison is 15 years.

Re: General OOC
Ok - I was a bit confused by this myself - you said that we use the BRP rules and they state 300 skill points for profession to start, plus 10 * INT extra. I also saw that you said to Mr handy that we get the Edu points (EDU * 20) - so I thought (apparently incorrectly) that we had all three points pools to start with.royya wrote:Hi Papa,

If this is not the case then I need to deduct 300 points from my assigned skills - I'm ok doing this, just want clarification that I have understood this correctly.
Re: General OOC
Papa:
Yes, you are correct.
deduct 300 points and allocate INTX10 and EDUX20. use the base skills and that's all.
Once you are all ready, I will begin.
All - One last thing I forgot.
In the equipment: write down laborer outfit - it's an orange "glowing in the dark" outfit - so it will be easier to hunt you in the dark.
and below the HP score write Armor score: 0 - the armor score prevents damage, since you have a simple laborer outfit your armor score is 0.

Re: General OOC
New player Hellvis posted in the original thread on the "I'm Thinking of Running a Game" board and wants to play.
I've updated my character sheet. Now that I've seen the NPCs, I can see that I made a couple of other mistakes that are also on Strickland's sheet. I hadn't realized that the various sciences were a single skill for each category. I had had all of the skills separate. Now I've consolidated them, and I have Exact Sciences at 35% (not just Physics). I also misunderstood how to calculate Radiation Points, as I was using SIZ + (CON x 1.5) instead of (SIZ + CON) x 1.5 (rounded up). There were no parentheses on the formula, so I just used the regular mathematical order of operations and did the multiplication first before the addition. Now I have 29 Radiation Points, not 24.
The picture on Frog's sheet isn't showing for me, but I was able to see it by copying the picture's URL and navigating directly to it.

Re: General OOC
Ok, I have reworked the skills.
I need a clarification on Hide and Conceal unless we use the BRP rules and just use Hide - one is hiding yourself and one is hiding an object - I don't recall which is which. I have put points into Hide assuming that is hiding yourself - if it should be Conceal then I need to switch the points into that.
Other than that I'm ready to go.

Re: General OOC
Yes, you have it right. Hide is for hiding yourself, Conceal is for hiding other stuff.
Another thing I've noticed is that you have EDU 9, and the rules say the minimum age is EDU+6, which means you'd have to be 15 if Roy is enforcing that. But he might not, as this is a homebrew system. Also, I think the various science skills (Exact Sciences, Humanities Sciences, Life Sciences, and Social Sciences) are grouped together with each of the four groups being one skill rather than broken up into separate skills, but if you don't have points in any of them it doesn't matter as much.

Re: General OOC
Yes, sorry for no clarifying this but the sciences skills are grouped together - Syrinx and Papa - please fix
As for the Radiation points - it's (SIZ+CON) X 1.5. Syrinx - your score should be 38
Papa - the age issue is not a problem. Hide and conceal - exactly as Mr. Handy stated.

Re: General OOC
Is Hellvis going to be joining us? He posted that he was interested in the thread in "I'm Thinking of Running a Game," and I think we have room for another player.

Re: General OOC
Please keep and update your own character sheet with current HP and equipment. You do not own a bag now so carrying is with your own hands.
Keep in mind that eating food and drinking water costs radiation points and both a infected by radiation. The chances of finding pure food and drink is quite rare then finding various chems to lower your radiation point and increase your addiction. Last time you ate and drank was in the prisoner's morning meal.

Re: General OOC
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.
