Dice Robotech - Southern Cross Adventure - OOC

[Psychie]

Question about the IPP-5H Heavy Ion Pulse Pistol... Originally I chose it as the favored sidearm for the two firing modes. Though, if I run out of shots is it just a matter of replacing an energy magazine? Other weapons specify this one doesn't.

I will say that the pistol has a standard magazine. It must be a misprint that the book doesn't say that. Also, the SDC pistol that Dannigan shared the description of is fine.

 

[Rykon]

As long as it's reasonably reloadable, then I should be fine if MDC is needed, 4d6 for an infantry weapon isn't the worst.

 

[D. Rex]

Marlon will be taking the car. Does anybody want to go with him?


Also Psychie, when you say hover car, were you meaning the hover truck from the book?

 

[Purr]

Gabi will ride with him. =)

 

[Rykon]

Alan's probably going in the car, the team in assault gear probably shouldn't be too visible.

 

[Purr]

Good thinking, Rykon.

Are we taking two cars?

 

[Rykon]

Wouldn't hurt. It may be difficult if we end up in a chase against a hovercycle, so I suggest we take measures to lock it down prior to confronting Antonia.

 

[Purr]

I was thinking the same. With her background, Gabi should be able to disable it.

 

[D. Rex]

Do parking boots work on hover cycles lol

 

[Purr]

Heh! Probably not, but if you remove their equivalent of spark plugs, I can't imagine they'll go very far. =)

 

[Sherwood]

I may be feeling a bit optimistic, but I am thinking that we have sufficient firepower. If there is an SDC fight, we can't be touched, and if it is a MDC fight, we pull back to keep any missed shots from wiping out the population. Lets do this.

No. There is an actual hover car.

 

[Purr]

And it looks like this (it's such a Volvo)! =)

Very 80s. I like it.

 

[D. Rex]

How one of the cars look driving into town.

 

[Purr]

To another car cutting off that M-770 Volvo, "I find your lack of road manners disturbing..." =)

There are times I just cannot stand RP Nation's Dice Roller...

Gabi: *engrossed in a sensor thing* Hmm. It says there is a building ahead. That cant be right."
*runs into wall*

 

[Purr]

I know, right? What kind of recon element is Gabi going to be if the dice keep this up? Oh well...

 

[Psychie]

Just to qualify my last IC post, I am not 'in the know' of how a hotel is actually run, so if I get some details way off, it is my ignorance of the topic at work.

 

[D. Rex]

I'm in the know of hotel stuff actually. I'll check things out and offer a few adjustments later this evening.

 

[Sherwood]

To my uneducated eye, your hotel looks good to me.

Psychie Just my two "centavos." =)
This information is definitely good enough for a typical, average roleplaying game. However, if you like in the future, you might give the hotel a name and perhaps a theme (or at least an equivalent brand-name so folks have a general idea of Brazilian atmosphere. Like, "it's a flowery, brightly-lit tourist trap but it's probably worth the money they ask to stay. Imagine a modern-day Embassy Suites only minus any decent maintenance," or "while the rusty, ancient sign out front dubbed the joint the 'Hotel Paradisio', the soldiers at Anton-17 often called this place the 'Roach Coach Motel' for its awful service and worse-than-MRE 'cuisine.'" Also, atmosphere might tell us what kind of clientele visit this place.

As it stands, the hotel is simply a hotel. A forgettable building, but the layout is realistic and worth reading. =)

I am left wondering why folks are speaking in Zentraedi and English and only little Spanish and apparently no Portuguese? In Brazil? (Not asking for hints, clues, or explanations though!) =)

In a red and gold Chinese dress in Brazil? I'd hate to see what she calls "loud"! =)
