Bringing Down the House: A Commentary Thread

[Notice: 9 + my character sheet vanished and I don't remember my notice modifier but I think it's like 3= probably 12]

I hate it when that happens, I'm sure CV could send it back to you if you've accidentally deleted it somehow.

[Chaotic Void]

In all honesty... I'm kinda surprised no one checked for traps.

[Carrikature]

It'd probably be a lot easier just to have Spart and his various minions all act on the same initiative. Then you don't have to make sure he rolled everything.

Sorry for posting in the wrong thread again, I'm following so many threads I lose track sometimes.

Eh, it happens. You're gonna be a part of the campaign eventually, so it's not a huge problem.

That being said, everyone else is going to be having a lot of fun this encounter.

My secret's out Btw, I had to use two hero points in that first encounter to keep my snare from breaking.

[Ben Zwycky]

Sorry guys, I'm going away for a week now, don't think I have time to answer the question before I go.

[Chaotic Void]

It's funny... my RL group had trouble taking out Red Skull (To the point where one of them had to distract the enemy minions by jumping on the police cruiser with a Bullhorn dancing madly while singing "Donald Where's Your Trousers") and nearly got one-shotted by Red Skull, but easily stormed through the warehouse encounter. You guys, on the other hand, were the opposite. You curb-stomped Red Skull, but had trouble with the warehouse encounter.

So, now that you've been through a chapter of my madness... any Thoughts/Criticisms/Queries?

Who needs disable device ranks when you can gunk up the works literally?

The warehouse encounter started before I knew what was happening. If we'd moved a bit more carefully, we may have gotten the drop on them instead of getting surrounded and taking a series of crates to the face.

Part of it boils down to the dice, though: a lucky hit from the minions or a lucky miss by the bad guy can turn an even fight into a curb-stomp, or an easy fight into a dangerous one.

[Tanakh Keeper]

Though I can gunk up the works, I got Disable device ranks anyways. I figure one probably needs skill on how BEST to disable the device.

Web posting is a bit more awkward than live gaming. 1) A discussion of what to do can take weeks 2) the most active posters get the most game time and/or make the decisions 3) the length of time an encounter takes really plays havoc with game continuity.

[Chaotic Void]

Pick a color folks. That'll be the color of your 'miniature' (the object I move around in OpenOffice to represent your location) on the map from now on. If you can, pick a color on your character's uniform.

[Meta Knight]

Blue for me.

[Tanakh Keeper]

Dark grey for Viscid

[Carrikature]

The same color I use for all my talking text.

[Ben Zwycky]

Green for Isambulus
